HUGH as we may criticize the
 WI manners of the men and A'A women we rub elbows with in busy streets, we must in fair ness admit that these very street manners are the product of a high degree of civilization. Primitive or barbarian people could not move about as we do in congested city streets with the same uncon. cern that we do. Ii takes some accustomedness for us 10 make our way through crowds, over looking pokes and pushes. shoves and digs. If We were primitiyes in practice, as many of us are in feeling. we should probably land in a police station. We would re- sent some of the pushes and shoves, and we would strike out at those who Intentionally or unln- tentionally pushed us.
 It really is important that each one should do his best to respect the rights of others as we pass and repass in crowded city streets. Even though we are among folk civilized as we are, We must not presume too much on this ciyiliza- ton. We must take care that we do not tread on other peoples toes. and if we do we must crave pardon at once. In mediaeval days knights sometimes chsl- lenged each other to fight in single combat because Of offences given in passing 4 knight trod on sn- other knights toe. he pushed against him or stood in his way. The offended knight expected more that curt Pardon me" "1 humbly crave your mereiful forgiveness, was the least that might be said If ihe offending knight did not ask forgiveness then the me offended knew that the oFense had probably been given intentionally. To uphold his own honor hs had to demand some sort Of redress. Now we are trodden upon. pushed against and showed. but se must usually bear it all in patience. But we can st least show our own good breeding hy tTesding upon and pushing others as little as possible as ws pass them in crowded streets.

WHERE are so many ways of using beef, especially the = cheaper cuts, that every cook ought to have a fairly good sized list at her command. If you have porterhouse roast or a fillet of beef. 1t is delicious when cooked in the simplest way But for the cheaper cuts it is possible to do a good deal by cooking them in an interesting manner.
 Here are some good recipes for preparing different cuts of beef;

When Etiquette
 Is Worth While
Ii Is Safeguard and Guide to Society When It Is Abused.

OMETIMES, as was the case in
 the court of Louis XIV of A< France, etiquette runs away with itself and becomes ridiculous. In that court it was breach Of etiquette if any one but a certain nobleman handed the king his royal undershirt when he awoke ln the morning. Another noble man held his wash basin and ar- other held the taper to his prayer book when he went through his kiugly deyotions.
 If We look far enough back in history We could find that even these absurd regulations had their basis in a matter of convenience. Etiquette is the lubricating oil that makes the wheels of society run smoothly, and when royal etiquette stipulates that a dozen or so graybeards, including the prime minister, should be present at the birth of kings son. you may be sure that that rule origi- hated so that later no one might suggest that the heir to the throne was a changeling or an impostor. And the custom or etiquette goes on after most folk have forgotten the why or wherefore" of it.
 A Weeding-Out Process
 Tn present-day American eti- uuette 8 constant weeding-out process is taking place. Almost as soon as the need for a certain piece of etiquette passes out the etiquette becomes old-fashioned, too. Practically every regulation of our etiquette can be traced to convenience or consideration. Take, for instance, the matter Of table etiquette. The whole idea of our so-called table manners is 10 make meal time a period of pleasant intercourse and not mere feeding process.
 If we all ate in private we might have the manners of pigs and give no one offense. But since we usually eat with our friends or families We must be very careful. We must go about it noiselessly and hence we have a certain list of rules for the management of the spoon and fork and knife. and because we would give offense to others if we spilled our food and were untidy about it we have an- other set of rules for the manage ment of the napkin, our position al the table and our mode ot mas. Heating. In determining how to eat the various kinds of foods the idea seems to be to find way by which the process can be made least offensive.
 If We Were Hermits
 There is no special etiquette for our way of bathing--though there was for poor little Queen Marie Antoinette, who always bathed with a group of ladies in waiting looking on-because we bathe in private. We can hold the soap as we please and splash as loudly as ue want without running the risk of being ill-bred. All society asks us is that we shall be well rubbed and we can suit ourselves as 10 the method of securing that re- suit. If we were hermits or Rob inson Crusoes we should have very few pages to our books of etiquette.
 So the closer we live together, the more careful we should he of our manners. And for this reason the city folk who dwell close toe Eether have to think more of eti- nue'te than country folk. Compli- catsd machinery always needs more lubrieating oil than machin- cry Of few parts and go folk who live In close contact with one an- other need the most rules of etiquette.

A Morning Room

If you have an upstairs living room besides. this may suitably be kept for what the English call a morning room. room where the occupations Of the morning take place. II properly contains a desk and lounge. easy chairs. sewing tables and baskets and plenty of sunshine. It is essentially a room dedicated to the women members of the house, just as the lounge. 1T you have a living room called by that name. is a room vbither the men of your family can with. draw to smoke and talk together alone.
 Afternoon tea if you aspire te t is served in the living room, or drawing room. or wherever you and your guests happen to be seated when four o'clock comes. But 1t is not in good form to have a tea table set up in any living room containing tea cups and other accessories. These are prop erly brought from the kitchen or pantry on q large tray or tea wagon st tea time. A convenient table for the tea tray or a nest of tables which when set out provide littel stands for each tea drinksr may be left in the living room. but they should be free from tea accessories

The jars, by the way, are used for bonbons or salted nuts after the salts are gone. Then there are porcelain jars shaped like little Dutch peasants or French ladies of the time of Louis XVI.

 There is a charming inkstand made of porcelain in the form of clown. apparently balancing a long colored quill on his fore head. In reality. of course, the quill is securely held in place by the pen point which is stuck in a niche in his head.
