Table Manners.

"Table manners IN their simp'
lest form are so taken for granted
by well. people that at the
first impulse it seems almost un-
necessary to give instructions
concerning details of behavior, "
says Christine Terhune Herrick
in Woman's Home Companion for
January. "But the IF e nses
against convention we all see at
times prove that everyone does
not know exactly what constitutes
good conduct at meals.
"ls 1T needful at this stage OF
civilization to say that one should
not eat with the knife? 1t ought
to be, but | am afraid it is not.
Those of US who are accustomed
to eating only In our own homes
or at tables of our friends are
prone to think that none but bar.
barians eat with their knives. A
little foreign travel Is likely to
cure US of that notion Not only
foreigners whom we meet at
hotels or IN prisons shock our
senslbilities by such offenses, but
our own countrymen often show
US examples of their skill IN
sword swallowing exploits.
"Yet In no circumstances is
eating with the knife anything
but crime agalnstgood manners
The knife is to cut with, the fork
to be used in eating.

stroyed by the boil weevil sought to
make up the loss by planting peanuts.
