press car, blowing the through safe to

REAL MISTRESS OF HOUSE
In olden Days, Among Other Accom-
plishments, 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
mistress of the ceremonies-she carv-
ed and she dealt the while her lord
merely pushed" the bottle.
She was also the menu, for If 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 dinner OF
one course and she remarked that
they saw their dinner"
Then her powers of gentle persua-
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-
tion was the signal for the hostess to
inquire "if he would please to have
something more
In the art of carving, of course,
the mistress of any country house
was a past mistress One recalls Lady
Mary Montagu's fight after perfec-
tion under the wing of professional
carving master: "She took three les
sons a week, that she might be per-
feet on her fathers public days; when,
in order to perform her functions
without Interruptions, she was forced
to eat her own dinner alone an hour
or so beforehand"
