by the neck, and was out of the window,

He did not stop until he reached home,
and there he placed the duck before Mrs.
Fox.
Mrs Fox looked at the duck and then
at her husband, for where Mr.. Foxs
teeth had held the duck there was some
thing that looked queer to Mrs. Fox.
She gave the duck poke and then she
cast a look of soorn upon poor Mr.. Fox,
who was beginning to feel very uncom-

is stuffed with the right things, but per-
haps you like sawdust; do not.
Mrs. Fox took the key to the pantry out
of her pocket and unlocked the door and
went In, closing and locking the door be-
hind her.
Mr.. Fox picked up the duck and looked
at it. Sure enough, be had brought home
for their Thanksgiving dinner a duck filed
with sawdust and even the skin was so
dry that, try as he would, Mr.. Fox could
not eat it.
So all day he sat in the kitchen hearing

EFFICIENT HOUSEKEEPING.
BY Henrietta Grauei.
CONTINUED FROM YESTERDAY
TABLE SERVICE

Women who do their own work will find
that serving table, mounted on casters
is one of the greatest helps she can have
at meal time, Desserts, beverages and
many things may be served from it, and
this saves unnecessary steps and much
confusion. Another convenience every
diningroom may have with small OK
penditure Is a sliding panel opening into
the kitchen or pantry.
If there is maid the service may be
as formal as desired, but there are few
rules to remember In every case. Hot food
should be served in hot dishes, cold food
In cold dishes. Meat Is carved and served
by the head of the family and the plates
are passed as served, Others at the table,
may be responsible for serving other foods
if there is no maid, but the beverages are
always in charge of the mother Of the
family, or the oldest daughter
All dishes should be passed to the left
and be removed from the same side.
Glasses are filled from the right and al
beverages are placed at the right.
At company dinner do not serve too
much food nor have too many courses
Above all do not hurry the service. -Four
courses are now considered sufficient at
most formal affairs. In the home they
are ample and may include bouillon, roast
with vegetable salad, dessert. A more
elaborate service embarrasses guests and
works hardship upon the hostess who is
her own maid.
Before dessert is served the table should
be cleared of everything but the center
piece, the freshly filled glass of water and
the needed silver. The crumbs should be
brushed from the table on TO plate with
a napkin. If the meal has been heavy
one the dessert should be light and vice
versa. Some women regulate their des-
serts by the salad course. II the latter has
been rich with mayonnaise, fruit and nuts
for the dessert is delicate. A little care In
the selection Of foods will give you we'll
balanced meals at no greater cost than
you pay for too heavy or too insufficient
food.
In the average family everyone seems
TO feel privileged to find fault with the
food but If the younger members are re-
quired TO do their share to make the table
attractive, to keep the silver bright and
the centerpiece growing and blossoming,
comments VIII surely take "a turn towards
compliments and an orderly meal time
NAV be brought from efforts that are
united 10 bring cheer and good nature to
the family that have SO little time to-
gether.
Company manners should become every
day habits and like the glistening silver
and good table service, should be a
matter of course
