To Revive the Organization.

When Mr. Kelly took hoid-and he

two OF the big men OF their state hat

reality, it has it's origin in old Morse
mythology where there was a porter
of Valhall called Heimdall, who
watched the further end of the rainbow
bridge Bifrost to guard the Assir from
the giants. His name is explained by
TRANSMITTING the "heim" as home. 1t was
through this Heindall that all the
Henrys and Harrys came to be.
The feminine of the name was in
vented in the Fifteenth century. 1t is

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 a knife and
fork in the right way. Quite as good
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 Russian sam
ovar. 1t is much more important to
drink the everyday brew from an
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 noiseless. In
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 it 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 veneer
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 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
fountain concoction that you should
not drink with the straws in the glass.
AS a matter of fact very good man
ners make no allowances whatever for
straws. At all events they and the
