TOO MUCH FOR GRANDMOTHER

The little girl at the elementary
school had been promoted to multi

set the task of finding out how many
legs 400 normal horses possess. A bit
puzzled as how to work it out, in
the evening, as she sat with her eXer-

the services of her grandmother.

Odd Appearance Of Drug Store As

the Clerk Explained Situation.

The woman needed three ounces of
tincture of myrrh. Hurrying up the
street her glance was caught by two
mammoth bottles of apothecary wa
ters. and two swinging doors of
frosted glass.
Down she stepped-three steps
down-into as attractive drug store
as she had seen. All was pure white

cleaning soda water accessories and
row upon row of shelves filed with
bottles of ointments, camphors and
medicinal remedies.
"Three ounces of tincture of myrrh,
said the Woman to the clerk.
The clerk hurried out of sight and
the Woman began to notice how queer
was the structure of this drug store
There were columns and pilasters
where there shouldn't have been any

Then strange, prickly feeling came
over the Woman.

BEVERAGES

Men really know not what good waters
worth."-Byron.
TT HAS been said that the real test
L of good table manners depends on
ones ability to manage knife and
fork in the right way. Quite rs good
a test might be shown in ones mode
and manner of drinking any Of the
ordinary everyday beverages. The
really fine points in manners are re-
vealed In these everyday things. Don't
worry your head over the proper way
of dispensing tea from a Russian sam
ovar. 1t Is much more important to
drink the everyday brew from IN
everyday tea pot.
1t seems unnecessary to say that
we should drink noiselessly. How
ever, most people don't. Keep tab on
yourself sometime and see whether
you yourself do not have to exert
quite an effort in order to make your
drinking absolutely nolseless. III
drinking tea, coffee, or other bever-
ages served in cup and saucer. you
should use the spoon only in order to
mix the sugar and then to take few
spoonfuls by way of testing the tenn
perature. To sip the entire cupful
in spoonfuls is decidedly bad form.
If you have been advised to "sip" tea
or water in this way for your health.
then out of kindness to your associ-
ates take this in your own room as
you would any other sort of remedy.
Needless to say we never leave the
spoon in our cups. After the sugar
is added 1t should be mixed by one
or two motions of the spoon In the
cup and then it should be laid on the
saucer beside the cup. If your vener-
able grandmother or grandfather
drinks with the spoon in the cup, just
recall that in the days that are long
gone by this was regarded as n per
fectly correct mode of drinking; but
that is no excuse for anyone else.
The same rule applies to spoons in
any glass or cup. And remember
when you are partaking of soda

not drink with the straws in the glass.
