THE RIGHT THING
at the
RIGHT TIME
BY MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
HOW TO EAT

oRN-Pick up the ear OF boiled
corn with one hand and eat it
from the ear. This is i'm perfectly
good form and is better than cutting
the kernels from the ear at table.
Cherries-Lift the cherry by the stem
to the mouth. and discard the pit into
the right hand. Then lay it on the plate.
Baked Potatoes-Cut them length
wise or crosswise on the dinner plate
if they have not already been opened
in the kitchen. Take the morsels of DO
tato from the open skin with the fork.
Do not expedite this by squeezing
the skin with the fingers If you like
to eat the skin cut the potato with
the skin on with the knife and fork.
Never scrape the skin with the side
Of the fork to get the last morseI.
Berrles-All should be eaten with
fork or spoon excepting strawberries
which, if they are served with the
hulls on. are raised to the mouth by
means of the hull and bitten of.
Lobster in the Shell-It is necessary
and quite all right to pull such sea
food apart with the fingers and such
things as shrimps may even be sep
arated and peeled with the fingers.
However great daintiness should be ex-
ercised in doing this and one should
take care not TO put the fingers to the
mouth or to eat the fish with the
fingers. The fork should be used to
convey it TO the mouth though the
fingers may be used in separating the
parts of the fish.
