a Leiisn
fh War She Gave Jamea
, In Table Etiquette.
They were an engaged young couple
ind were having; a (julet dinner while
the band played alluring music. The
rirl was sweet and reliucd looking and
the man big and strong. Her mauuers
were perfect, but his left much to be
tlesired as fur as etiquette is concern
ed. After they hud finished their meal j
an interested observer noticed -that the .
big, wholesome man placed his knife
find fork like tlte crossboues under the '
ikiill. With a blush the girl, Whose !
own Implements were placed correctly
side by side, noticed the break.
"James," she said, with nuick tact,
looking all arouud among the tables,
"did you ever notice that men and wo
men eut differently? When a man fin
ishes n meal he ulwayB places his knife
and fork across each other, while a
woman Invariably places them side by
side. It's funny, but I've often noticed
if: . ' , l !
"Which is correct?" anxiously ques
tioned her fiance while he gingerly
toyed with the objects of comment
"Why, placing them side by side,
dear, of course," she said. "But, then,
men nre so busy that I suppose they
have no time for such details." And
then she became interested in the band
leader, while the erring James slyly
adjusted Mb knife and fork aecordlng
to regulations.
"There's a woman who la going to
menage tier husband without letting
him know It," observed a sweet old la
dy who had overheard. "It all de
pends upon the way you do It whether
you can get a man to come round."
