If you know which side your bread is bat
tered, you will know that you should flot
tpread a whole slice of bread at one time.;
you will break off a small piece, enough for
one bite, holding it dose to the bread-and-
butter plate to butter it. If there are no
bread-and-butter platee, use your dinner
plate in the same manner. At informal meal»
hot biscuits, rolls and muffins may be split
and buttered all at once. ^ • .
J At formal dinners, butter is not served,
and there are no bread-and-butter plates.
Do you leave food on the floor when you
have spilled it? If you have dropped food on
the floor, you should pick it up at once, un-
, less the hostess, waiter or someone in charge
takes care of it^If there is no one at hand,
and the situation might become serious, you
should find the person in charge and Veport
your difficulty.
Where is the iced-tea spoon placed when
there is no coaster provided?,If no place has
been provided, lay the spoon across your
lunch or dinner plate, as much out of your
way as you can. One thing certain is that
you must not lay it back on the table after
it has been used, and don’t lay the bowl of
the spoon on a plate so that the handle rests
on the table.
Stiw your tea aa little as possible. You
may not even think horw annoying is your
clink, clink. .(That rhymes.)

the correlative duty of discussion, for in a
democracy tie government officials are ser

must be free to discuss the work of these
officials, to (riticize it, to find fault with it,
to tell the o fidals what to do, and to dis
