Society buds will appreciate the
following "Tables Rules" published in
1856; some folks still observe them:
'Tf possible the knife should never
be put in the mouth at all but if nee
essary let the edge be turned outside"
to safeguard your chin, probably
"The teeth should be picked as lit
tie as possible and never with q fork.
Use the sugar spoon for this deli
cate operation.
Carefully abstain from blowing the
nose, rinsing the mouth or splitting
while at the table. e."-0ur kids wipe il
on their sleeves.
"When napkins are provided they
are to be unfolded and laid on the
Inees-use the napkin to wipe the
mouth or fngers-never as a hand
kerchief or to wipe the brow"
We also suggest leaving the host
ess' silver on the table and to wash
only the fingers, not your ears, from
the finger bowl.

for overseas service. We were sched-
uIed to sail December 18th had not
the Germans asked for an armistice.
General Henry, who is in command OF
our division, the 18th, tried In every
way possible to get his troops across,
but his efforts were of no avail, SO all
we got out Of the war was some ex-
ceiient military training.
