Coughing, Splitting At Table

Some persons have so little regard
for proprieties Of the table as to clear
the throat and cough and spit upon the
floor before commencing to eat. If it
be necessary to blow the nose or clear
the throat, it is the duty of person
to leave the table. If there is occasion
to remove cherrystones, fish bones, ETC..
from the mouth, it may be done BY
using the hand or the napkin, but it
is very rude to spit them out upon the
plate. To make a noise unnecessarily
with the lips in eating may be disa-
greeable to those sitting near. 1t is
unbecoming to scratch the head OIL
face, or, indeed, to put the hand to the
head, nor is it graceful to sit leaning
with the elbows upon the table.
