 Thoueh it is contrary to the book Of etiquette. finger bowls ought really 10 be served at the begin ming rather than at the end of d meal.
 The present practice serves an esthetic end, the recommended one would serve as a measure of bet ter personal hygiene.
 But there is nothing very novel in this suggestion. Tn fact, it is an old idea. The Mosaic law which includes SC many good rules for the protection of health, forbids an or thodoX believer to touch food be- fore his hands have been washed.
 Keen observation had no doubt impressed the author Of those sani- ;ary laws that unclean hands are a source Of, and Of means of. trans hitting disease.
 Indeed the observations need not 10 have been so very keen 10 appre- clate the point, for in the course of an hour the hands come in contact with vast multitude Of things which in themselves had previous ly been touched by scores if not hundreds Of others, and each con- tact represents a possible source Of danger.
 Now the matter is simple. and vet, A large number of our schools have lunch-rooms for their pupils Or cafeteria services. where those that cannot or will not go home for their midday meal may cat.
 How many among these schools provide washing facilities? How many shops, factories. or offices have place where the workers might wash their hands before cat ing, without having 10 stand in line for half the lunch period? And all so how many parents insist upon having their children come to the dinner-tahla with hands freshly washed?
 Consider the care We bestoW up- or our foods. how We protect our milk. our meat, and our water from ccr tamina';on and pollution, and then consider how all Of the pre- cautions bestowed upon our food substances turn to naught by the soiled hands that transport the vIctuals from table to mouth.

In his closet there should be low hooks and hangers holding just tho clothing which he is using at that time of the year. In the bathroom he should have his own particular hooks for tooth brush and wash cloth and a convenient rod for his towel.
 Occasionally it is well to sort out from the toy shelves those play things in which he has shown no interest for a long time and keep only those in which he is actively interested.
 It is of course not only the ar rangement of a child's room and bathroom that makes for habits of neatness. It is the air of serene orderliness that prevails through out the entire home.
 This depends largely upon moth- CTS virtues as a housekee per, on her ability to organize her work and keep her home neat and attrac- tive without too much effort.

 Whether our chillren acquire de- sired habits Of neatncss depends largely on traiinng which they re- Ceive from the very beginning.
 A small child's room, for instance, should contain only the minimum essentials for comfort, convenience and Cheerfulness.
 Many children have nurseries so cluttered with furniture. knick- knacks and decorations that the whole must give them an impress sion of confusion of something with which they cannot be expect ed to cope.
 It is a good idea to keep in a cbild's room only those things which he needs from day to day. He should have a small chest of drawers with compartments which he can easily open himself and which contain his everyday clothes.
