ITO classical dancing means
three things the sanctif-
cation Of the body. the ele-
walton Of the mind and the Joy
Gus appreciation of living. And
out Of these three primary pur-
poses Of classical dancing grows
naturally the bodily grace that IS
what the world seeks first from
the art Of the dance
have always thought It a very
sad thing that children should be
taught to be ashamed Of the
bodies that God gave to them.
The body is a beautiful and holy
thing templc=and every child
should be taught 10 regard IL I'm
this way. TO keep IL clean. and
pure, and healthy is not enough
II should be rcVeTenCed as some
thing that was given by God and
must be returned TO Him unde-
filed. Through this reverence false
shame that is really fmmodesty

next step is 10 have IN the mind
thoughts worthy Of its own high
purpose and Of the finest ideals Of
bodily beauty So through the
beautiful movements of spontane-

classical dance we perform

gatory. Children should be taught
to wash their hands and smooth their
hair before coming to the table
A very small child may have a nap
kin fastened round the neck but old
er children should do as grown per
sons do-partly unfold a napkin and
place it across the knees.
1t is important to teach children
not to idget in their chairs: not to
sit too close to the table, but not too
far away, as either position is awk-
ward; not to crumble bread; not to
play with silver, and not to amuse
themselves by making marks on the
tablecloth
Girls are served before boys. This
courtesy should be accorded by boys
10 their sisters.
Essential things are to eat soup
from the side of a spoon and not to
make a noise when eating it. not TO
hold fork awkwardly or over
hand" to eat slowly and to keep the
mouth closed while eating, and not
to talk while food is in the mouth:
TO wipe the mouth with a napkin
before and after drinking; not to
leave a spoon in a cup for a mo-
ment, to place fork and knife to-
gether on the plate when one has
finished.
Although children should not be al
lowed to complain Of their food or To
be "fussy," it is not right TO insist
that a child shall eat what may be
distasteful.

Table Manners for Children
BY MRS. FRANK LEARNED

n TATURALLY, children look to
v their parents for examples of
what 10 do at the table or else
where, and, as they are very observ-

habits. it follows that parents can
not be too careful themselves IL they
would educate th&r children in good
manners. II they are Interested truly
in the welfare of their children they
will train them in every small de-
tail Of conduct 1t is not Just to-
ward children to make excuses for
careless habits on the plea that these
habits viii be outgrowu in time. Bad
manners at the table soon become
fixed habits. very difficult to change
as years so on, and will mark per
son through life as having been i'll
taught or neglected at home, and this
is. of course, a serious reflection on
parents.
Children who are brought up to
understand all the small details Of
refined conduct win find these things
as easy and as familiar TO them as
the alphabet They will perform
them mechanically, without hesi-
tatlng, and as a matter of habit
Children should not come to the

Others. This is one of the earliest
