TN DAYS long, long gone by the
head of large and important
family sat on raised dais at meals,
with members of his immediate fam
lily and specially honored guests.
Others sat at table on the floor Of
the room, the least important guests
or retainers sitting Mt the greatest
distance from the host. Even In our
colonial days it was customary to
have a huge salt cellar in the center
important personages sat above the
salt cellar toward the host who sat
Mt the head of the table, while those
less important sat below that point.
With such an arrangement 1t was
possible to have almost the entire
household-save for those who were
serving the meal-to sit at the same
time without embarrassment to any
one. Sometimes, In these days, EN-
barrassing questions come up con-
cerning the placing of members of
ones household at the dinner table.

Obviously 1t is not for the house
keeper to decide but for those who
employ her, and If she feels that
not to have meals with the family
is an act of disrespect to her why,
then, for her own peace of mind she
ought to find employment somewhere

ploy many servants the housekeeper
would not dream of eating with the
family-on the contrary. her meals
would be served in her own sitting

Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
"ElDER" AND FOLDER"

THE former word. "elder," should
be used when one refers to mem
bers of the same family; thus. my
elder brother left for Europe today"
not, MY older brother" But colder"
should be used in referring to mem
bers of another family, and in refer
ring to objects. Thus, say, He Is
the older of the two brothers," and
This table Is older than that chair" "
not elder" The same rule is applied
TO the words "eldest" and "Oldest."
one should say, If he has more than
one brother, MY eldest brother left
for Europe today" not "My Oldest
brother" This chair is the Oldest of
the three" not the oldest"
When direct comparison Is made
between two persons, use colder" as
in the sentence, "Aly mother is older
than my father" But when the com
parison Is not made directly use this
form: my mother is the elder Of my
parents"

MoNoGRAMs.

THE origin of monOgrams is prob
ably Egyptian; we are certain
mat the Greeks and Romans used
these devices. The merchants of the
Middle Ages used cabalistic intertwin-
ihgs of letters as their distinctive
marks, and the great Charlemngne
used cipher as his signature to con-
ceal his ignorance Of writing. The old
time painters and printers also had
their private marks made of their ini-
tials. 1t was not until the Nineteenth
century, however, that monOgrams be-
came popular.
