Rules Of Etiquette with

use d fork. Il know my hands TO be
absolutely clean" said he, for ! Just
washed them carefully. But the
knife and fork I myself did not
wash, and how do l know that they
were thoroughly ~cleansed?"
The hole in this logic. from an
Occidental point of view. is that the
use Of forks is not only for the con-
Venlence OF the diner. but to save
the feelings Of the behOlder. Eating

Nevertheless. though we do not

substances with orr fingers. there
are a number Of foods which the Ell
quette censors DO permit Us TO eat
without the ) Of 4 knife or fork.
Perhaps 1t Is because it would be
rather awkward ID try eating them

Of the attempt At excess elegance.
AS far as the dry foods are con-
cerned, common sense is a sufficient
guide in most cases. But the prob

with some Of the dampish d~elicacies
like artichokes. asparagus. lobster

they be eaten in private only? Be
cause a certain amount of handling
with the fingers seems unavoidable
in some of these cases.
Years ago it was quite proper to
pick up a spear of asparagus
dalntily with three fingers. Aspara-
gus was a rare delicacy and one
hated missing any Of its flavor. Also.
only a short section was edible. But
with the progress in cultivation Of
asparagus, it is now possible to eat
almost three-fOurths Of the fresh
young spears-and all OF a good

dinner who enters the restaurant
first?

eat a sandwich, for instance a
chicken? With a fork or by pick
ing up piece by piece with the
fingers?
3. Is it proper to help a young
man with his coat. when putting
il on or off?
4. l happen to be six months
older than the man l love. Is it
wrong to have him believe he is
six months older than 1? Do you
think if I told him the truth it
would lessen his faith in me?
FAITHFUL.
TAITHFUL: The lady follows the
= head waiter who ushers the
couple to a table, after the gentle
mar has indicated his preference as
to table.
2. A fork should be used. Never
under any circumstances use the
fingers.
3. Absolutely improper. The man
should put his coat on himself, prob
ably assisted by the waiter. but the
lady should never offer assistance.
4. Well. Of course, it's woman's
privilege to be coy about her age.
Sometimes frankness IL best, but ut
times it cannot hurt. as long as the
difference is so slight. You Will have
to be the best judge as to whether

Don't neglect your poor suffering
feet. Give a little thought to your
shoes. Have them properly fitted.
Now about those corns: Do you
know that there are well-equipped
colleges where men and women are
carefully trained in foot-care? AS
applied these days this profession
has become really scientific.
It rs possible to get rid OF the IN
growing nails, thick cOrns. callouses

Many persons paw dollars and dol
