that he is hosting engineer and use
his elbow as though it were fulcrum
attached to the table and his arm a
lever, thus lifting spoon and letting
the liquid spill over back of the bowl.
Encourage him to build or model by
all means, but not at table!
On the other hand, since he is in
clined to make plaything of what
ever comes to hand and game of his
own out of everything he does. ad-
vantage can be taken of this in making
the acquiring of perfect manners a
game! l have watched it practised
score of times and know the marvels
it works. Count so many points for
each detail of perfect behavior; three
points for neatness, two points for
quietness, three points for keeping
food out of sight between lips or teeth,
and five points for perfect behavior at
any one meal. The prize at the end of
the week goes to the one who wins
highest marks. Or to child alone, the
reward can be any good-behavior
privilege that you approve.
When training a child it is some
times necessary to exaggerate the>
preciseness of your own manners as
an example to him. There are definite
times when your own elbows may be
put on the table - such as when it is
necessary to lean across a restaurant
table in order to be heard by the per-
son you are talking to, and not by
those at surrounding tables. Some
times also on informal occasions when
people at table are smoking, an elbow
supporting the hand with the cigarette
is considered ''in the picture" But
never, of course. may any one put an
elbow on the table while he is eating.
For the child's sake, it is better for
you to forego your own etiquette
privileges and follow the rules you
are trying to teach him.
Another word about smoking. Re-
member that smoking at table, and
scattering ashes around, is not the
way to make a child think it fair that
he may not crumb bread or eat candy
between courses.
1t is, of course, proper that a child
eat with spoon and pusher until he
is old enough to use fork and later a
knife, and to change his silver pusher
for a piece of crust.
There are lot of contradictory
table-manner rules. Some are impor-
tant, some unimportant, and some
utterly absurd. Among the absurdi-
ties are caring whether you approach
your chair from the left or the right;
whether at a dinner party. you talk
first to your neighbor at your left or
at your right; or how much you may
choose to unfold the napkin on your
lap. OF greatest Importance are the
rules of pleasantness - those which
exact neatness, silent chewing and
slipping, and above all the keeping of
food in the mouth hidden!
To watch your own food-hiding
ability, stand mirror on the table
in front of you sometime when you are
alone, and glance in it from time to
time; also talk into it to see how much
you can say briefly with little food in
your mouth. If you have a short upper
lip so that in order to chew your food
without letting any of it be seen. you
have to hold your lips together like
rabbit - then like rabbit is the way
you must eat!
Whether you zigzag your fork -
always transfer to the right hand after
cutting a piece of meat - in the

If there is one thing about golf

all too often has had hard and fast

the main objection to many of the

Down through the decades, since
the first Scottish shepherd found
some sport in knocking a pebble
with a crooked stick into hole cut
in a hillside, people Of some skill at
the game of golf have written
about it.
Voluminous books, created by
champions of their time, weighty
tones, grandchildren of the admit
ted masters of golf, have become
"musts" on the reading lists of golf
ers. And out of it perhaps a few
have gained some idea of how to
play the most exasperating and the
most battling game that has any
large body of supporters in Amer
lea today.
Once in a while the literary efforts
of the would-be authors of golf in
struction have some merit. Gen.
orally they all lean toward one theme
or another. "See your pro-" says
one. Golf is a left-handed game" :"
says another. THE pivot is the
thing says still another.

But you could read from now
until the next blitzkrieg and get
little of really practical value For
golf strictly is an individual game.
What is sauce for a gent feet 2
inches tall is hardly the meat for a
man 8 inches shorter. How one man
obtains distance from the tee doesn't
necessarily work for another. And
how one man plays the irons doesn't
have to be the only correct way
to play the shot.
The authors of the newest golf
tome, Golf as I Play It," have
something in their presentation of
new angle of golf instruction.
2S Champions CoIlaborate.
Richard D. Dick Chapman,
well-known Greenwich, Conn, anna

But really it has been written by a

golfers in the land. In this alone it
differs from the usual stiff profess
