trv to hide them. In a moment of
forgetfulness vq show ourselves as
we are, not what we would bothought
to be. This is particularly true of
children. If children ar taught by
example as well as precept, at the
eyerv-day table, to properly use their
spoons, knives and torks, napkins,
cups, etc., and to be cleanly in hand
line their dishes, drinking nroperlv.
"chewing with the mouth shut, and
not allowed to pick and pull over the
victuals served in vthe family dishes,
they will 'usually respect the pro
prieties when at the tablo of others.
In no other way can a child make
itself more disagreeable than by
showing a disregard tor the decorum
and delicacy of the table. If parents
'would only remember this, and insist
kindly but firmly on obedience to
these rules, they would spare them
selves many humiliating experiences.
But these lessons cannot be taught
by precept alone; there must be ex
ample as well. If ttie adults of tho
family and especially the father
allow themse'.ves unseemly latitude
in this direction, be assured the
bright little eyes will see it, and
sometime, when one is particularly
anxious to have things at their best,
these imitations of home methods
will flash out. to our intense morti

For drip coffee, one must have a
perforated dripper which fits tightly
