REAL MISTRESS OF HOUSE
In OIden Days, Among Other Accom-.
Iishments, Woman Was Required
to Be Expert Carver.

In the matter of old time etiquette
at the table one recalls the part
played by the lady of the household.
In the eighteenth century she was mis-
tress of the ceremonies-she carved
and she dealt the while her lord mere
ly pushed" the bottle.
She was also the menu, for il she
gave a dinner of several courses 1t
was her duty to announce to the
guests, seated expectantly, what was
due to appear at table. A dinuer OF
one course and she remarked that
they saw their dinner"
Then her powers of gentle psrsua-
sion came into play. A guest when
he had stuffed sufficiently placed the
handles of his knife and fork into his
plate, and the sight of knife in posi-
ton was the signal for the hostess to
inquire 'ff he would please to have
something more"
In the art of carving, Of course.
the mistress of any country house
was past mistress. One recalls Lady
Mary Montagu's flight after perfec-
ton under the wing of a professional
carving master: "She took three les
sons week, that she might be perfect
on her fathers public days; when, In
order to perform her functions with
out Interruptions, she was forced to
eat her own dinner alone an hour or
so beforehand"

CLEVER RUSE OF A WOMAN
How Tenant In Misunderstanding
Hotel Disposed Of Her Cook
Ing Debris.

Close observers looking in the right
direction might have noticed tall
young woman, with pinkish hair, come
out Of the family hotel and walk rap
idly toward the nearest car stop.
On her way she dropped a good
sized package that she had been car
rying under her arm. 1t seemed
strange that a woman could lose SO
large package and not notice 1t, but
she was preoccupied with shopping
lists or something and kept right on
going.
A man walking behind rushed to the
rescue, however. He grabbed the
package off the sidewalk and quick
ened his pace to overtake her. But
she was hurrying to catch her car,
which was approaching, and he didn't
gain much. So he decided to call after
her.

She didn't seem to hear.
Il say, I beg your pardon, lady" he
repeated. "but you dropped this pack.

Still she didn't hear him, or, at
least, didn't assume that his words

The man broke into run. She was
climbing on the car, and there was no
time to lose. The conductor signaled
| to the motorman, the car started-just
as the painting rescuer of the package
reached the corner. He was too late.
well, she can do without her old
package!" he growled to himself.
He decided to open the thing up and
see what was In 1t. The chances were
good that there was something valu-
able, he figured, for fool Of woman
like that would drop valuable pack
age even more readily than one Of no
consequence.
He united the cord, removed the pa
per wrapping. and found the cold. still
