Your
 Table Manners
RREAKING RREAD


 Just how do you break bread and biscuitp Do you always use two hands, or have you discovered the better way of managing soft breads with the left hand alone2 If not, experiment. Q little and ou will see how easily 1t can be done.
 With the bread or biscuit lying upon the plate, lift corner of the bread between thumb and first two fingers of the left hand, and with 0 twisting motion or downward pres- sure break of Q piece that will be sufficient for one or two bites, nuG- tering each piece as 1t is broken. There Is 0 way of using the last two fingers to steady the bread on the plate; 1t is difhcult to describe, but will easily be discovered by ex- perimenting.
 When crusts are very tough, or rolls are hard-crusted, 1t may be necessary to use two hands when breaking bread. This should be done as unobtrusively as possible, down close to the bread and butter plate or over the dinner plate, so that there will be as few crumbs on the cloth as possible. Tearing at a hard roll or slice of Vienna bread, or holding the roll high In the air while breaking 1t is not a pleasing gesture and should be avoided. Pulling the soft center out of bread or rolls, SO that one may eat either the crust or the soft part alone, IS also questionable procedure.
