Correct Table Manners Give the Child a Heddstdrt

served, and that it is ill-mannered
to pick and choose in order to
get the choicest bits of food.
Children should let their elders
do most OF the talking at meal
time. But the gfown-ups should
avoid rebukes and reproaches at
table.
In recent years the schools have
begun teaching domestic science
to the little girls in the grammar
grades.
Included in this course is the
art of serving meals properly ana
of eating them right.
sometimes the class has a
breakfast, a. luncheon or a din
ner. The teacher appoints GER
tain girls to act as hostess and
guests. while others serve as
maids. On other days the order
is reversed. The children learn
exactly how the dishes, the linen
and the silver should be placed
on the table. They learn all the
fine points of presiding and OF
waiting on the table. They learn
how TO eat properly, and they
come out knowing how to be-
have exactly right at the home
table or in a public dining room.
Nothing a. school does could be
finer than that. For truth to
tell, the majority of girls do not
have that training at home, and
they need it every day of their
entire lives.

EROM Shoulder to Slipper the
Il flower vogue seems to have
travelled, for one of the very lat
est footnotes of fashion Is the use
of a large silver kid rose at one
side of a silver opera pump.
With centers of innumerable loops
of metallic thread. such a pair OF
roses very smartly replaces the
usual rhinestone buckles, whose
repeated use Is growing rather
monotonous.
Lace's Lingering Charm makes
the fad for dyed lace evening
frocks unlikely to die out. Deep
amethyst, sapphire blue, rose beige
and black are the favorite colors;
and smartly TERED skirts, often
trimmed in matching silk fringe,

floating scarf treatments, usually
attached to one side of the back,
