DINING THEN
AND NOW

Within the 800 years since the first
Christmas dinner was eaten in this
country what changes have come
about in table manners?
Although we are still eating many
Of the same native American foods
now that they did then-turkeys;
oysters, pumpkin, Indian corn and
squash and grapes-we eat in SO diff
erent manner that were one of
the men Of those days to be a guest
at the, board even of the most humble
family of today he would find him
self In great predicament. He
wouldn't have the most remote idea
how to use a knife and fork and the
chances are that he would prove to
have shockingly bad table manners.
from our twentieth century point of
view.
Forks were as yet unknown in
those days. save in Italy: where they
were carried about in the pocket in
cases OF precious metal and were
taken out by. fastidious possessors
who preferred to use them to soil
ing their fingers by taking food in
the usual way. So there wasn't any
would let the children pick the wish
bone; every one had to pick bones
or get along without any turkey.
Gov. John Winthrop possessed the
f1rst fork in America in 1879. some
decades or SO after the hrst settle
ment: and the first one known in
Virginia was some forty years later.
Needless to say. plates were not
used as they are today and each
diner was content with a wooden
trencher in which was placed his
share Of the feast. They were hol-
lowed-out wooden bowls. and as even
they were scarce husband and wife
and brothers and sisters shared one
among them. dipping in with their
fingers to get what they wanted.
There were a few knives used to cut
meat and spoon liquids. Sometimes a
whole family shared q single spoon
or . knife. passing it about among
themselves during the course Of a
meal It must have been quite i'm
possible not to get ones fingers in a
most deplorable state in the course
Of meal, but even fairly poor folk
had an abundance Of linen napkins
with which to keep constantly wiping
OF the hands.
Food was served in enormous serv-
ers. either Of pewter or wood. and
these were placed on the narrow
board with a big open salt dish. In
place OF glasses there were tankards
and bowls Of pewter or of wood
with reeds and wooden stays. No
doubt when the hrst Christmas din
ners were eaten in this country some
of the colonists had dried gourds, Of
which there were plenty growing
wild. and these they used in place Of
more expensive drinking cups.
And dining chairs as we know
them today were unknown then.
There were rude,henches Of wood and

where they ate what was left OF the
feast, or directly behind their parents.

The Smell O. Sleep.

In the small house at the foot of

the clock in the steeple Of the town
hall had long since chimed midnight.
The light was upstairs. and the min

her husband from visiting a very sick
member Of the congregation, men
toned the fact.
Perhaps Mrs. Dobbs is worse" she
said, anxiously.
Il wonder If she is" unused the min
ister ut may be we'll to inquire"
And despite the lateness of the
hour the kindly couple turned in at
the little gate. crunching up the
gravel to the front door.
Their tap brought heavy footsteps
to the door.
Mr.. Dobbs. opening the door a few
inches, held a lamp above his head
and peered out into the night.
"Oh. it's you, is it, he said. Come
in! Come in! Nothing wrong, l HOPPER

1--WE saw the light. and. as we were
passing, thought Mrs. Dobbs might be
worse" explained the minister. who
was a welcome visitor in the village
at all times and frequently did as
| much visiting among the sick as the
sadly overworked village doctor.
Exactly" And as he spoke Mr..
Dobbs placed the lamp on a Berlin
wool work mat on the little table and
brought chairs for his guests. and

may be alarmed at the sound of visi-

And while the minister and Mr.
Dobbs discussed the bottle of medi-

the little bedroom where the old lady s
lamp was burning.
