"Show me what a man eats, and I
will tell you what he is," says Brillat
Savarin. Show me how a child eats, and
I will tell you what bis parents are. If
a child has rude and unpleasant manners
at table, his parents are certainly crimi
nally cureless, though ihcy may not lack
breeding.
Between llie uges of three and seven
u child is easily taught, simply by the
force of example, the little amenities of
the table demanded by eivilizition, and
even more eusily docs he acquire wrung
habits, which is almost impossible to cor
rect in alter life.
I have never forgotten the astonish
ment with which I saw the sixteen-year-
old sou of a Washington banker spread
and bile from a whole slice of bread. His
subsequent confusion showed that his
habit of early childhood had been the
subject of frequent remark in the family.
His mother, a guy society woman, had
left him to servants at meal times, just as
she was then leaving her younger children.
One must not, of course, mako a child's
whole meal a lime for "don'ts," and this
will not be necessary if, beforehand, one
at a time, you will iustill into his plastic
mind a few of the most necessary rules
regarding bis behaviour at table.
It keeps the mollier ever on the alert
to see that the children sit straight in
(heir chairs, aud do not tilt side ways or
backwards; lhat they wipe (heir moulhs
before and after drinking, and do not
driuk with food in their mouths. That
they do not bolt their meat, or scrure
their puddiog plates, or swallow their
spoons, and that they do not gather debris
iu the way of crumbs of bread, egg
shells, or bits of rejected meat, on the
table cloth beside their plates, instead of
on the sides of the plates.
Fortunately, childish memories are
good. Once thoroughly impress some
little poiut uf eiiquelte on tin ir minds,
and years will not efface il. A child
whose manners could never be mended
by fault finding, cau often be transformed
iuto a veritable Lord Chesterfield by
judicious praise. It is wlieu praising
him for some point of conduct that you
can best insinuatingly add that you have
never seen him do thus nnd so. He will
be a thousand times moro apt never to
commit the error of which you speak
than if you bud bluntly corrected him in
the act itself.
I have visited in houses where the chil
dren at meal times were so painfully
silent thai, but for the motion iu eating,
they might have been wooden images,
and in oilier houses I have seen a single
child keen the whole table in a turmoil
by his incessant chatter nod rude de
mands. Iu this, as in all things, it is
the golden mean that must be sought
after. Let the little ones have a share

I wish I were the fly that roams
Around on yonder wall,
For he can ride a bicycle
And not fall off at all.
I wish I were the bird that swings
Her nest in the cool green
Of yonder tree, high in the air,
Her house is always clean.
But most I envy the old wall,
So dingy and so dim,
For I adore the poster girl,
Aud she is stuck on him.
