The Tempting Table
BY a Young Matron

I believe Ellen, my little maid-servaht,
thtnka me a dreadful crank about some
things in the house, and especially about
meals. She is a good cook, but when she
nrst came to me she made no attempt
10 sarnish the dishes, and was quite
surprised when said that thought the
look OF thS thing made all the difference
TO the taste.
JUST ALL THE DIFFERENCE.
Ellen has learned. after many lessons.
to set out the meals prettl1y. but only
the other day found her putting clean
but dull-loolsing tumbers on the table.
All the other little things were quite
nice; the salt lay smoothly In the salt
cellars and had a pretty impression on
IL: the portions OF bread were cut in
small neat pieces; the silver shone till
Il seemed to smile and every other de-
tail was perfect-except the tumblers.
They were quite clean OF course. Ellen
is very particular about that sort OF
thing. But they did not dazzle in the
sun as well-polished glass should. I
took a wine-glass UP in my hand. It
was Just a little smeary, and bit OF
fluff adhered to It here and there,
handed It back TO Ellen, asked her A
question. and found that II had not been
wiped with the special glass-cloth 1 had
given her for the purpose.
Unless glass-cloths are kept for
glasses alone, the tumblers will never
look as they should. This is a very i'm
portant point which young servants do
not generally grasp at hrst.
THE SILVER AND KNIVES.
Then the silver needs little special
attention. AS well as keeping piece of
chamois leather over the silver basket,
I made Ellen have polishing cloth, neat
ty folded. and all ready for use at the
last moment. As she takes the silver
from tho basket to place it on the table,
she rubs each piece first with the plate
cloth and then with the leather. Just
touch suflces, but 1t makes all the diff
ference.
Knives too, are so important. The knife
handles are one of the things I see to
myself. Ellen cleans the blades after use,
and every now and then l clean the
handles. 1 wash them with warm water
and soap, rubbing them very thoroughly
to get ali the dark markh on the ivory,
and when they are quite clean / rub
lemon juice into them. This whitenS the
ivory, and after another rinsing the han-
dies look like new.
A BRIGHT-LooKING MAID.
am very proud OF the appearance Of
my table, and still more about that of
the maid who waits at 1t. Apart from
anything else, 1 think that a sclSly-look-
Ing maid is dreadfully ugly thing to
have about the place
1 always take care that Ellen gets
plenty of fresh air; in fact, often take
my turn at cooking, and send her out on
errands, merely in order to give her
the benefit of the walk. Some maids get
anemic for lack OF change
and fresh air, but Ellen always looks
healthy and bright, so that 1t is quite
pleasure to see her and be waited on by
her.
