TABLE ETIQUETTE
BY JULIA HoYT
(Mrs. LydiE HOyD

1t is said that table manners in
one has been brought up. But to
me bad table manners indicate care
lessness and lack of observation as
well. A persons early training is
usually a matter of luck, but care
lessness IS ones own fault. I know
many people who have been trained
correctly but permit themselves to
become careless in table manners at
hcme, SO quite unconsciously they
forget themselves when they are out
often people who appear to be
most careful about their dress and
other observanees seem to give alb
solutely no thought to their mode of
eating. Such an attitude l cannot
understand, because In reality it is
even such relatively unimportant
things as the manner in which one
eats that help to make ones associa-
ton with other people pore. agreea-
BILE.
l never realized how many careless
people there were until few eve
nings ago. A friend and I were dis
cussing table etiquette and he as
tonished me by declaring that about
so per cent of all the people did not
know how to eat properly. / thought
that he was exaggerating and told
him so.
To prove his point he suggested
that we go andNdine at one of the
hotels. We chose what we consid-
cred the best-or rather one of the
best--in New York. To me it scarce
ly seemed the sort of place to go in
search of bad table manners, but we
found plenty TO justify my friends
claim. at least as far as that place
was concerned.
We had no sooner sat down than
my friend drew my attention to a
nearby table at which there was a
perfectly groomed man. He was
scooping his soup toward him, and
even while we watched he tilted his
plate so that he might obtain the
| last drop OF the soup. 1t Is needless
| to say that in spite of his excellent
appearance, we both knew immedi-
ately that he did not belong to- the
| stratum of life he was affecting.
1t is always proper to dip your
| spoon from you and not toward you
| and the soup is taken from the side
of the spoon.
When one is taking bouillon oil
| thin soup served in cup, one may
after taking several spoonfuls raise

Later we saw man and a woman

Kenneth Lang found it impossible
to carry out his promise to telephone
to DR.. Grant at the first village
through which he and Ruth passed.
For when he entered drug store
and approached the telephone booth
with the intention of sending a re-
assuring message he was informed
that the storm had put the wires
out of commission"
The big blow did a lot of mis-
chief" the drug clerk remarked.
Poles are down, and trees lying
across wires all around here-so I'm
told"
Kenneth explained the situation to
his companion when he returned to
the car.
Your father will understand" he
said reasurringly. The damage
done here is undoubtedly about the
same in Southhold, and DR.. Grant
will know why you have not COM
municated with him. He will not
blame you"
She smiled confidently. Father
never blames me-" she remarked. He
always trusts me-
AS the man at her side could not
say as much of his parents attitude
toward her only child, he held his
peace.
Ruth was not inclined to talk as
she guided her car through the pud-
dies and ruts caused by the heavy
rain. Once they came upon another
tree that had been blown down.
There was just room enough to drive
the little car between it and the
fence.
"A foot more and we could not have
passed it, Ruth commented.

Her eyes were strained ahead of

HONOLULU IS UPSET
BY WEE SNAKE
Little Reptile of Garter Variety First
Ever Seen On the Island

HONOLULU, T. H When Mrs.
Iichi Kprihura stepped out OF the front
door of her home a. few days ago she
saw a small snake crawling across the
walk. Her screams aroused the neigh
borhood and soon a crowd collected
in the yard and street.
1t was the first snake ever seen in
the Hawaiian Islands and naturally
not only the natives but hundreds OF
others who had never seen a reptile
were excited. The snake basked in The
sunshine that came through the fronds
OF the cocoanut trees, seemingly quite
unconscious of the great stir it had
created. In the crowd were Japanese,
Chinese, Koreans, Filipinos. Portu-
guese, Fijians, Samoans, Hawaiians,
and few white people.
Soon the news of the discovery had
spread and the throng of people kept
growing larger rapidly Suggestions
were made that the police should be
sent for to kill the snake and this
was about TO be done when Manuel
Barccllos brawny Filipino stepped
forward. He had a short stick in his
hand
81 will keel him. he announced.
Cries of warning from the spectas
tors did not deter him. He turned and
boasted:
"Havc I not killed in Cebu many
snakes; so big, many of them" and
he circled his arms to the diameter of
a big boa constructor.
Barce'os then walked ND to the lit
tie snake and struck a blow which
crushed its head. He was the hero of
the day! The crowd closed in and for
several hours the snake was on dis
play. 1t was viewed by thousands of
Hawaians and other people of the is
lands who had never before seen a
snakc-it was the talk of the CITY
Federal officials were notified here
that a snake had been killed here. The
snake was sent TO L. A. Whitney in
spector of agriculture and forestry,
who was unable to determine definite
ly the species to which it belonged. 1t
was then sent to Bishops Museum in
Honolulu, where it was classified as
of the common garter snake variety.

Putting 'Niland's
Roads in Shape

INLAND, Feb. 3.--The new road
superintendent, Mr.. Breon, is prov
ing himself a capable man for the
position. He has taken over Nj
and $ road problems and has gone
quietly about trying to give this
city the best roads it has ever en-
joyed. The road engine and crew
mas been at inland five or six days
and today they finished levehng
and grading the stretch of quar-
ter of a mile from the southwest
corner of the Van Wormer place to
whore the road turns south to Cali
patria. The inland Chamber of
Commerce, with the cooperation of
Breon, intends to gravel this
stretch as a test road Members of
the Chamber of Commerce will
furnish the labor and Mr.. Breon will
haul the gravel for putting it in
shape. a close account of cost will
be kept, and the experiment will be
watched with interest to determine
the value of this class of road as a
highway. 1t is expected that trucks
will be on the job to bring in the
gravel by the first of the week.
