DEDICATION OF
new Y. M. c. A.
BEING PLANNED
Sunday, Oct. 10, Is Date Named
for Interesting Cere-
monies.
NAME SPECIAL COMMITTEE
E. 3. McKown, T. q. Davis and A. }
Lindstrom to Prepare Program
Big Men Coming.

Plans for the dedication of the new
building were discussed at the meet
ing Of the board of directors Of the
Y. NJ. c. A. held last night. According
to present plans, the dedication is
likely to take place on Sunday, Oct.
10. A special committee was named
TO take charge of arrangements for
the various exercises attendant upon
the formal opening of the building.
This committee consists OF E. B. Nc
Kown, T. B. Davis and A J. Lind
strom.
1t is the intention to make the for
nal opening a great event, common
surate with the Importance to the city
of the completion of so great public
work, and the exercises will probably
extend through several days, and may
be attended by number of men nota
BILE in the world of Y. NJ c. A. work.
SUBSCRIBERS SHOULD PAY UP.
The building committee is anxious
to be able to have the building dedi'
Gated free from debt, and they can
manage this if all those who have
subscribed to the fund will pay W
| promptly. While most of the sub
| scribers have made their payments in
| full, some have delayed, for a variety
of reasons, apparently not. realizing
the absolute necessity of meeting theil
obligation. All who have not made
their final payment should do so al
once, as the money is urgently needed
to meet the payments to contractors
AS the work nears completion, many
bills fall due which should be paid
promptly. Up TO the present time, il
has been possible to meet all sucf
obligations, and the men who are
wrestling with the problem earnestly
hope that those subscribers who arc
in arrears will help them to keep u
the good record for prompt payment.

the plate for a second helping the
knife and fork should be placed across
1t at one side and never laid on the
cloth after once used. The blade of
the knife or tines of the fork should
not rest on the edge of the plate, but
when not in use laid across on the
side of it
EATING SOUP.
When soups are eaten the spoon is
filled by dipping toward the farthest
edge OF the plate. Eat soup quietly.
Never crumb crackers or bread in
the soup, but eat it with the soup.
Bread is spread in small pieces as
| it is eaten and is broken rather than
cut. Never over~rge people &c eat.
Be hospitable, but do not overdo it.
l once remember having a guest pass
his cup for 4 half cup of coffee. He
received just that amount. He said,
This is the first time in my life I
ever asked for half cup of coffee
and did not receive it full or running
over. l wanted just that much" That
is what l mean by not overriding hos
pitality. Give guests and the family
just what they desire and no more.
Chew food with the lips closed. Be-
gin teaching this when the children
are young, and insist upon il and they
will thank you for it when they are
older. Do not leave the table frequent
ly. This means anyone. 4 meal
should be restful and not exciting, al
though there should be plenty of
bright interesting conversation at the
table, This helps wonderfully in the
digestive process.
"GROUCH" sPOILs MEAL.
That is why l said last week no

tation spoils the appetite not only
, of one. but the entire family Make
, the conversation interesting to young
! and old. So often grandmother sits
: at the table when the conversation
: seems to be entirely out of her life.
| Do not forget her If only to tell an
t amusing story which she can enjoy.

l kindness" Many people seem to think
t the expression excuse me-" forgive
1 me-" thank you" and "if you please

There is no place or condition where
the individual. young or old, is so IN
erringly judged for his refinement as
when dining. This is the final test
Customs change from year to year
and one should not make himself con-
spicuous by disregarding the changes.
There have been many changes in the
manner of serving and table etiquette
since the time of Nero. At one time it
might have been customary to eat
with a knife or drink tea or coffee with
the spoon in the cup, but now we
have other ways OF disposing of these
articles at certain times. Knives are
made for cutting the food and the
fork for conveying it to the mouth. A
cup is apt to be upset if the spoon is
left in it, so after stirring tea or cot
fee lay the spoon in the saucer when
not in use.
HOW TO HOLD KNIFE.
There is a right way and wrong
| for holding the knife and fork; TAX
! ing them firmly in the hand with the
handles entirely covered by the HAND
and not in between the thumb an6
| forefinger, which is frequently seen
This should be taught from childhood
and then when grown to manhood Of
womanhood one does not have to suf
| fer embarrassment from not being a
perfect ease at any table. Sit erect
easily, but not stiffly, at the table
never tipping back nor stretching thu
legs under the table. There is M
necessity for bending nearly to tn,
soup dish when eating soup, neithe
should elbows be resting on the tabl
while eating. The napkin is lait
across the lap and not tucked in a
the neck unless for children, and the
a bib is better until they can use
napkin properly. After the mea! a
home each member folds the napkin
y and puts it into a napkin ring or line
case as desired. OF course, at hote
or restaurant it is not folded but lai
