vacationists to the Pacific Coast
during 1915. Many Of us are not
in a position to take an extended
trip every year, and it should there
fore be to our interests and advan-
tage to make the most Of a general
coast tour when low rates are avail
able and conditions favorable. At
these times, low circle tour rates are
in effect which permit Of going via
one route and returning via another
at very much lower expense than
If separate trips were made.

she disposed of the second half in tn same fashion. with no sign that she ha the least suspicion she was not following the rules of polite society.
 Yet she was a college graduate, gil accustomed to associating with refine persons and to visiting in good homes She had not been properly trained in he childhood and had never thought to com pare her own manners with those of oth CTS who might have a clearer under standing of what constituted refinemen at table.
 Do seem unduIy particular and fuss. in thus dwelling upon details? coul, say much more of the bad table manner I have met.
 There is the woman--ft usually seem to be woman. am sorry to say-.wh, sticks the fork with which she has beei eating into her butter ball. She ought t, know better, for those are few and ex travagant in their housekeeping who q, not gather up the leftover butter at tabl, and save it for cookery. Does she sto1 to think it might not be pleasant for her self or for others to eat food cooked witt butter the eaters have thrust their fork. into?
 Of the same class Is the one who puts the individual fork or knife into the com mon salt cellar. or who dips celery o1 radisfies into the salt holder which will come back on the table. I associate suct persons in my mind with those who rel turn to the platter an uneaten piece oI tood from their own plates, or who tra nsl fer such portions to the plates of othet members of the family. The poor little children who have no right to protes are usually the sufferers from this method of the elders with the surplus they do not wish left uneaten.
 My gorge rises, acknowledge, when } see a fond grandparent feeding a child morsels from her plate with her owr Iork, or giving tastes of tea or coffee With the spoon she has herself used irl sipping the brew from the cup. It is in sanitary. as we all know when we stor to think. and 1t is also suggestively un4 pleasant. Why do we do this or any oI the other things to which I have rel ferred?
 It would be interesting to compare a few notes on these matters. At the be ginning of this talk stated my beliei that there would be indignant replies i'd my question as to the kind of table manI ners practiced in your households. wish you would tell me if you have observed these or other shortcomings in the circll of your family or friends and give me mol nn1yr v>a fcr II but suggestion of how the faults can bi overcome. am sure this would be oI help to a good many of the readers b the Corner-for we all want to make tn best of ourselves.

> o you practice good table manners
 in your family? At this inquiry
 am quite sure of an indignant re- sponse from number of house
 mothers. I shall be informed that they give especial attention to training their children how to behave at meals and that they make a point of insisting upon as correct a demeanor when no com pany is present as when there are guests to be impressed
 Still I repeat my query. but accompany 1t with a little explanation. I don't mean \ to imply that any of your household eat with their knives or drink their tea or coffee out of their saucers, or do any of the crassly i'll bred things of which one hears as occurring among persons who lack refinement. Perhaps I can explain my point better by few illustrations which I take from my personal observa- ton.
 For example,: I have been a frequent guest in a family of well educated people where the noise of their eating almost drowns their conversation There Is ap- parently no recognition that it is advisable to chew with the lips closed. On the con- trary, the process of mastication is not only visible, but audbIe-painfully aud- ible. No one seems to notice it but myself, and am hardly in position to speak of it.
 If this case were an exception I might put it down to the idiosyncracies of this especial clan. But it is not.
 It makes me ill to sit opposite Miss Blank,' said fellow boarder to me at summer hotel last season. "It's bad enough any time, but when she eats banana I can see it--and hear it--go all the way down her throat"
 " Why do you look at herr" l asked.
 I can't help it. There is an awful fas- cination about it, and even when l try to forget it the loud smackings attract my attention and just have to watch her!"
 How many persons eat soup noise- lessly? If you have never remarked this, pay attention to it now. Even those who keep their mouths shut when chewing solid food sup their soup from their spoons with a loud and unpleasant sound.
 Quiet eating is a rare virtue. Notice the eaters of fruit. Listen to the con sumption of oranges-even with spoon or of grapefruit, or of grapes, or any thing else. The pulp or the juice is sucked from the spoon or from the skin with no perception that the sound made may be deappetizing to the unfortunate person whose attention has been called to the incident and who must thereafter suffer from the infiiction. unless 1t is within her power to check it. This is something you who are mothers of fam flies may do If you will begin with your children in time.
 I refer to the children, and yet am not sure but what some of the grownups are as great sinners in this line-or greater.

EVERY DAY TABLE MANNERS

the forks with which they have been eat Ing the action rather interferes with the appetities of the onlookers.
 Also regret to say that have seen the host do the same thing. Ignoring the carving fork which lay ready to his hand. he has picked with his own fork the morsel he desired. or, worse still, has taken it from the platter with his fingers.
 The things to be eaten with the fingers are few and clearly defined. No one can criticize anybody for eating cold bread, dry sandwiches. Saratoga potato chips, crackers, and the like with the fingers any more than for following the same course with grapes. celery, or olives. to mention some of the more obvious articles.
 The story Is told of a man who came to Prince Metternich with letters of intro- duction. The bearer of these was rep resented as man of rank and title. and was invited to a repast at the house of the prince. In the midst of the meal the host suddenly called out: Arrest that man! He is an impostor! The newcomer was cutting his olive and eat ing it with knife and fork. No gentleman of the class he claimed would have been guilty of such display of ignorance of accepted usages.
 On the other hand, many things are taken in the fingers which should be man. aged with the fork or spoon. We are amused when we see a man pick up a slice of pie in his hand and eat it, but we have constantly before us the spectacle zP xr,1,n h1tl evn fLn Ax,Sr Jor pieces of hot cornbread, dripping with butter and eat them, or strips of bacon. or segments of layer cake with soft fill- ing, who peel and eat peaches. plums and pears, flowing with juice, with the fingers instead of the fork, stuff1ng big pieces into the mouth with carelessness of the feelings of observers which Is hardly comprehensive.
 I confess can hardly understand the lack of perception of those who do these things, any more than I can understand the attitude of those who will lay large slice of bread or a whole biscuit on the table or plate, spread it thickfy with butter and then proceed to eat 1t un- broken no matter what the size of the portion.
 A mortifying little incident occurred to me not long ago. had invited friend from out of town to take afternoon tea with me at certain rather fashionable tearoom. Her choice of food fell upon English mullins and ordered these. They came, hot and dripping with melted but ter. I took it for granted that my guest would use the knife and fork provided for her. but not she!
 She took the whole half muffin fin her hand and gnawed pieces from the edge until she had consumed 1t all. interspers- ing mouthfuls with gulps of tea Then

 Doll Patterns and Magazines.
 "In reply to an appeal you printed some time ago some one kindly sent lot of nice new vegetables and these were delivered to me. but the name was either misspelled or else they were meant for some one else. Anyhow. l returned them to the freight agent. If they were meant for me l wish to thank the friend who sent them. Also there were some letters sent which were given to me, but I was afraid they were not meant for me, for my name is spelled with an in- stead of with an 0, as the name was on the letters. There was an offer made in the Corner to send some clothes to me or to this other person in order to make over for children. l would love to have them, as we have to do the best we can on little money, and it would help me with the childrens school clothes and ] am thankful for the kind offer.

When your boys and girls are small you may keep a guard upon them and repress
 their tendency to resort to natural ani- maj methods of consuming their suste- nance. After they are grown 1t is likely you will still have to be on the alert to tell them when they are eating too rap idly or too noisly or when they are vio- lating some small detail of table man.
