REAL MISTRESS OF HOUSE
In Olden Days, Among Other Accom,
pllshments, Woman Was Re
quired to Be Expert Carver.
In the matter of old time etiquette
nt the table one recalls the part
played by tho lady of tho household.
In the elgtheenth century she was mis
tress of the ceremonies she carved
and she denlt the whllo her loid mere
ly "pushed" the bottle.
She was also the menu, for If sho
gave a dinner of several courses It
was her duty to announce to tho
guests, seated expectantly, what was
clue to appear at table. A dinner of
one course nnd sho remarked that
"they saw their dinner."
Then her powers of gentle persua
sion came Into play. A guest when
he had stuffed sufficiently plnccd tho
handles of bis knife and fork Into hla
plate nnd the sight of a knife In posi
tion was the signal for the hostess to
inquire "If ho would please to havo
something snore."
In the art of carving, of course,
tho mistress of any country hotiso
was a past mistress. One recalls Iidy
Mary Montagu's flight nfter perfec
tion under tho wing of a professional
carving master: "She took three les
eons a week, that sho might be perfect
on her father's public days; when, In
order to perform her functions with
out Interruptions, sho was forced to
eat her own dinner alone an hour or
so beforehand."
A Surmise.
"That." said the musician, "Is a
Etradlvarlus. It is worth thousand-."
"H'ni!" replied Mr. Cotnrox, rather
wearily. "I suppose music Is some
thing llko tho drug business.
Things cost more when you call 'cm
by their Ijxtln names."
The Difference.
"Pop, will you tell mo ono thing?"
"Yes, sou."
"Is n mobllo countenanco tho samo
thing ns the auto face'.'"
You may navo noticed thnt about
tho time n shoo begins to reel com
fortablo It looks llko a candidate for
tho refuse wagon.
A man may not know who Ills
friends are, but ho usually bas his
enemies spotted.
Freedom Is won through hard obe
dience to the truth. William James.
