WHEN CARVING WAS AN ART
In Old Days the sllcine Was suited
to the Importance Of
the Guest.

Carving was once serious thing.
The sixteenth century carver was a
professional. He had to make the
joint fit the guest. The size OF HIS
slices was the thing Then he had
to know his guests and cut accords
ingly.
A lord for instance, at the table.
ard pike was dIshed up whole.
Smaller fry, and the pike came on In
slices. The same procedure with pig.
The rank of the diners decided wheth-
er It should appear at table in gold
leaf or naked, whole or sliced With
bread, too. there was a difference.
New or three days old baked was
at the discretion of the carver as he
sized UP the visitors. And as for the
apportioning Of the tidbits according
to precedence there was no end. The
old-time carver in fact was born and
then made.
The eighteenth century was the day
of the carving master He taught hos
tesses the art. Lady Mary Montagu,
for instance, took three lessons a
week chat she might be perfect on
her fathers public days, when, in or
der to perform her functions without
Interruptions, she was forced to eat
her own dinner alone an hour or two
beforehand
The hostess carved while the host
pushed the bottle.' She did more.
She urged the guests to eat more
and more, and woe to her II she
neglected a guest. The diner who
sas forced to help himself to slice
Of anything nearly choked. These
diners of the eighteenth century liked
being pressed. And the hostess well
coined the erd of the feast-London

Kentucky mountalneer Preferred as

The colonel had gone up into the

Of the most limited kind.
But" argued the colonel. your
man doesn't have the first rudiments
of an education and the pupils might
as well have no teacher at all"
He's done better than anybody
else ever done, colonel" replied the
chairman of the board.
That may be, but none OF them has
been educated properly TO teach. My
man has been through college and is
superior to any teacher in the coun-
ty.p
The chairman didn't want any
trouble with the colonel, nor did he
want to yield his point
