    1 eti0001 CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE OF ETIQUETTE THIS IS A LIBRIVOX RECORDING ALL LIBRIVOX RECORDINGS ARE IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN  
    2 eti0002 FOR MORE INFORMATION OR TO VOLUNTEER PLEASE VISIT LIBRIVOX DOT ORG RECORDED BY LAURY ANNE WALDEN  
    3 eti0003 ETIQUETTE IN SOCIETY IN BUSINESS IN POLITICS AND AT HOME BY EMILY POST CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE  
    4 eti0004 THE KINDERGARTEN OF ETIQUETTE IN THE HOUSES OF THE WELL TO DO  
    5 eti0005 WHERE THE NURSERY IS IN CHARGE OF A WOMAN OF REFINEMENT  
    6 eti0006 WHO IS COMPETENT TO TEACH LITTLE CHILDREN PROPER BEHAVIOR  
    7 eti0007 THEY ARE NEVER ALLOWED TO COME TO TABLE IN THE DINING ROOM UNTIL THEY HAVE LEARNED AT LEAST THE ELEMENTS OF GOOD MANNERS  
    8 eti0008 BUT WHETHER IN A BIG HOUSE OF THIS DESCRIPTION  
    9 eti0009 OR IN A SMALL HOUSE WHERE PERHAPS THE MOTHER ALONE MUST BE THE TEACHER  
    10 eti0010 CHILDREN CAN SCARCELY BE TOO YOUNG TO BE TAUGHT THE RUDIMENTS OF ETIQUETTE  
    11 eti0011 NOR CAN THE TEACHING BE TOO PATIENTLY OR TOO CONSCIENTIOUSLY CARRIED OUT  
    12 eti0012 TRAINING A CHILD IS EXACTLY LIKE TRAINING A PUPPY A LITTLE HEEDLESS INATTENTION AND IT IS OUT IF HAND IMMEDIATELY  
    13 eti0013 THE GREAT THING IS NOT TO LET IT ACQUIRE BAD HABITS THAT MUST AFTERWARD BE BROKEN  
    14 eti0014 ANY CHILD CAN BE TAUGHT TO BE BEAUTIFULLY BEHAVED WITH NO EFFORT GREATER THAN QUIET PATIENCE AND PERSEVERANCE  
    15 eti0015 WHEREAS TO BREAK BAD HABITS ONCE THEY ARE ACQUIRED IS A HERCULEAN TASK ELEMENTARY TABLE MANNERS  
    16 eti0016 SINCE A VERY LITTLE CHILD CAN NOT HOLD A SPOON PROPERLY  
    17 eti0017 AND AS NEATNESS IS THE FIRST REQUISITE IN TABLE MANNERS  
    18 eti0018 IT SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO HOLD ITS SPOON AS IT MIGHT TAKE HOLD OF A BAR IN FRONT OF IT  
    19 eti0019 BACK OF THE HAND UP THUMB CLOSED OVER FIST THE PUSHER  
    20 eti0020 A SMALL FLAT PIECE OF SILVER AT RIGHT ANGLES TO A HANDLE  
    21 eti0021 IS HELD IN THE SAME WAY IN THE LEFT HAND ALSO IN THE FIRST EATING LESSONS  
    22 eti0022 A BABY MUST BE ALLOWED TO PUT A SPOON IN ITS MOUTH POINTED END FOREMOST  
    23 eti0023 ITS FIRST LESSONS MUST BE TO TAKE SMALL MOUTHFULS TO EAT VERY SLOWLY TO SPILL NOTHING  
    24 eti0024 TO KEEP THE MOUTH SHUT WHILE CHEWING AND NOT SMEAR ITS FACE OVER  
    25 eti0025 IN DRINKING A CHILD SHOULD USE BOTH HANDS TO HOLD A MUG OR GLASS  
    26 eti0026 UNTIL ITS HAND IS BIG ENOUGH SO IT CAN EASILY HOLD A GLASS IN ONE  
    27 eti0027 WHEN IT CAN EAT WITHOUT SPILLING ANYTHING OR SMEARING ITS LIPS  
    28 eti0028 AND DRINK WITHOUT MAKING GREASE MOONS ON ITS MUG OR TUMBLER BY ALWAYS WIPING ITS MOUTH BEFORE DRINKING  
    29 eti0029 IT MAY BE ALLOWED TO COME TO TABLE IN THE DINING ROOM AS A TREAT  
    30 eti0030 FOR SUNDAY LUNCH OR BREAKFAST OR IF IT HAS BEEN TAUGHT BY ITS MOTHER AT TABLE  
    31 eti0031 SHE CAN RELAX HER ATTENTION SOMEWHAT FROM ITS PROGRESS GIRLS ARE USUALLY DAINTIER AND MORE EASILY TAUGHT THAN BOYS  
    32 eti0032 BUT MOST CHILDREN WILL BEHAVE BADLY AT TABLE IF LEFT TO THEIR OWN DEVICES  
    33 eti0033 EVEN THOUGH THEY MAY COMMIT NO SERIOUS OFFENSES SUCH AS MAKING A MESS OF THEIR FOOD OR THEMSELVES  
    34 eti0034 OR TALKING WITH THEIR MOUTHS FULL ALL CHILDREN LOVE TO CRUMB BREAD  
    35 eti0035 FLOP THIS WAY AND THAT IN THEIR CHAIRS KNOCK SPOONS AND FORKS TOGETHER  
    36 eti0036 DAWDLE OVER THEIR FOOD FEED ANIMALS IF ANY ARE ALLOWED IN THE ROOM  
    37 eti0037 OR BECOME RESTLESS AND NOISY ONCE GRADUATED TO THE DINING ROOM  
    38 eti0038 ANY REVERSION TO SUCH TACTICS MUST BE FIRMLY REPREHENDED  
    39 eti0039 AND THE CHILD SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT CONTINUED OFFENSE MEANS A RETURN TO THE NURSERY  
    40 eti0040 BUT BEFORE COMPANY IT IS BEST TO SAY AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE  
    41 eti0041 SINCE TOO MUCH NAGGING IN THE PRESENCE OF STRANGERS LESSENS A CHILD'S INCENTIVE TO GOOD BEHAVIOR BEFORE THEM  
    42 eti0042 IF IT REFUSES TO BEHAVE NICELY MUCH THE BEST THING TO DO IS TO SAY NOTHING  
    43 eti0043 BUT GET UP AND QUIETLY LEAD IT FROM THE TABLE BACK TO THE NURSERY  
    44 eti0044 IT IS NOT ONLY BAD FOR THE CHILD BUT ANNOYING TO A GUEST  
    45 eti0045 TO CONTINUE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE COMPANY  
    46 eti0046 AND THE CHILD LEARNS MUCH MORE QUICKLY TO BE WELL BEHAVED IF IT UNDERSTANDS THAT GOOD BEHAVIOR IS THE PRICE OF ADMISSION TO GROWN UP SOCIETY  
    47 eti0047 A WORD OR TWO SUCH AS DON'T LEAN ON THE TABLE DARLING OR  
    48 eti0048 PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU ARE DOING DEAR SHOULD SUFFICE BUT A CHILD THAT IS NOISY  
    49 eti0049 THAT REACHES OUT TO HELP ITSELF TO CANDY OR CAKE THAT INTERRUPTS THE CONVERSATION  
    50 eti0050 THAT EATS UNTIDILY HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO LEAVE THE NURSERY BEFORE IT HAS BEEN PROPERLY GRADUATED  
    51 eti0051 TABLE MANNERS MUST OF COURSE PROCEED SLOWLY IN EXACTLY THE SAME WAY THAT ANY OTHER LESSONS PROCEED IN SCHOOL  
    52 eti0052 HAVING LEARNED WHEN A BABY TO USE THE NURSERY IMPLEMENTS OF SPOON AND PUSHER  
    53 eti0053 THE CHILD WHEN IT IS A LITTLE OLDER DISCARDS THEM FOR THE FORK SPOON  
    54 eti0054 AND KNIFE THE PROPER USE OF THE FORK AS SOON THEREFORE AS HIS HAND IS DEXTEROUS ENOUGH  
    55 eti0055 THE CHILD MUST BE TAUGHT TO HOLD HIS FORK NO LONGER GRIPPED BABY FASHION IN HIS FIST  
    56 eti0056 BUT MUCH AS A PENCIL IS HELD IN WRITING ONLY THE FINGERS ARE PLACED NEARER THE TOP  
    57 eti0057 THAN THE POINT THE THUMB AND TWO FIRST FINGERS ARE CLOSED AROUND THE HANDLE TWO THIRDS OF THE WAY UP THE SHANK  
    58 eti0058 AND THE FOOD IS TAKEN UP SHOVEL WISE ON THE TURNED UP PRONGS  
    59 eti0059 AT FIRST HIS LITTLE FINGERS WILL HOLD HIS FORK STIFFLY  
    60 eti0060 BUT AS HE GROWS OLDER HIS FINGERS WILL BECOME MORE FLEXIBLE  
    61 eti0061 JUST AS THEY WILL IN HOLDING HIS PENCIL IF HE FINDS IT HARD WORK TO SHOVEL HIS FOOD  
    62 eti0062 HE CAN FOR A WHILE CONTINUE TO USE HIS NURSERY PUSHER  
    63 eti0063 BY AND BY THE PUSHER IS CHANGED FOR A SMALL PIECE OF BREAD  
    64 eti0064 WHICH IS HELD IN HIS LEFT HAND AND BETWEEN THUMB AND FIRST TWO FINGERS  
    65 eti0065 AND AGAINST WHICH THE FORK SHOVELS UP SUCH ELUSIVE ARTICLES AS CORN PEAS POACHED EGG  
    66 eti0066 ETC THE SPOON IN USING THE SPOON HE HOLDS IT IN HIS RIGHT HAND LIKE THE FORK  
    67 eti0067 IN EATING CEREAL OR DESSERT HE MAY BE ALLOWED TO DIP THE BOWL OF THE SPOON TOWARD HIM AND EAT FROM THE END  
    68 eti0068 BUT IN EATING SOUP HE MUST DIP HIS SPOON AWAY FROM HIM  
    69 eti0069 TURNING THE OUTER RIM OF THE BOWL DOWN AS HE DOES SO  
    70 eti0070 FILL THE BOWL NOT MORE THAN THREE QUARTERS FULL AND SIP IT WITHOUT NOISE  
    71 eti0071 OUT OF THE SIDE NOT THE END OF THE BOWL  
    72 eti0072 THE REASON WHY THE BOWL MUST NOT BE FILLED FULL IS BECAUSE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO LIFT A BRIMMING SPOONFUL OF LIQUID TO HIS MOUTH  
    73 eti0073 WITHOUT SPILLING SOME OR IN THE CASE OF PORRIDGE WITHOUT FILLING HIS MOUTH TOO FULL  
    74 eti0074 WHILE STILL VERY YOUNG HE MAY BE TAUGHT NEVER TO LEAVE THE SPOON IN A CUP  
    75 eti0075 WHILE DRINKING OUT OF IT BUT AFTER STIRRING THE COCOA OR WHATEVER IT IS  
    76 eti0076 TO LAY THE SPOON IN THE SAUCER A VERY UGLY TABLE HABIT  
    77 eti0077 WHICH SEEMS TO BE AN IMPULSE AMONG ALL CHILDREN IS TO PILE A GREAT QUANTITY OF FOOD ON A FORK  
    78 eti0078 AND THEN LICK OR BITE IT OFF PIECEMEAL THIS MUST ON NO ACCOUNT BE PERMITTED  
    79 eti0079 IT IS PERFECTLY CORRECT HOWEVER TO SIP A LITTLE AT A TIME OF HOT LIQUID FROM A SPOON  
    80 eti0080 IN TAKING ANY LIQUID EITHER FROM A SPOON OR DRINKING VESSEL NO NOISE MUST EVER BE MADE  
    81 eti0081 THE FORK AND KNIFE TOGETHER IN BEING TAUGHT TO USE HIS KNIFE  
    82 eti0082 THE CHILD SHOULD AT FIRST CUT ONLY SOMETHING VERY EASY SUCH AS A SLICE OF CHICKEN  
    83 eti0083 HE SHOULD NOT ATTEMPT ANYTHING WITH BONES OR GRISTLE OR ANYTHING THAT IS TOUGH  
    84 eti0084 IN HIS LEFT HAND IS PUT HIS FORK WITH THE PRONGS DOWNWARD  
    85 eti0085 HELD NEAR THE TOP OF THE HANDLE HIS INDEX FINGER IS PLACED ON THE SHANK SO THAT IT POINTS TO THE PRONGS  
    86 eti0086 AND IS SUPPORTED AT THE SIDE BY HIS THUMB HIS OTHER FINGERS CLOSE UNDERNEATH  
    87 eti0087 AND HOLD THE HANDLE TIGHT HE MUST NEVER BE ALLOWED TO HOLD HIS FORK EMIGRANT FASHION  
    88 eti0088 PERPENDICULARLY CLUTCHED IN THE CLENCHED FIST AND TO SAW ACROSS THE FOOD AT ITS BASE WITH HIS KNIFE  
    89 eti0089 THE KNIFE THE KNIFE IS HELD IN HIS RIGHT HAND EXACTLY AS THE FORK IS HELD IN HIS LEFT  
    90 eti0090 FIRMLY AND AT THE END OF THE HANDLE WITH THE INDEX FINGER POINTING DOWN THE BACK OF THE BLADE  
    91 eti0091 IN CUTTING HE SHOULD LEARN NOT TO SCRAPE THE BACK OF THE FORK PRONGS WITH THE CUTTING EDGE OF THE KNIFE  
    92 eti0092 HAVING CUT OFF A MOUTHFUL HE THRUSTS THE FORK THROUGH IT WITH PRONGS POINTED DOWNWARD  
    93 eti0093 AND CONVEYS IT TO HIS MOUTH WITH HIS LEFT HAND  
    94 eti0094 HE MUST LEARN TO CUT OFF AND EAT ONE MOUTHFUL AT A TIME  
    95 eti0095 IT IS UNNECESSARY TO ADD THAT THE KNIFE MUST NEVER BE PUT IN HIS MOUTH  
    96 eti0096 NOR IS IT GOOD FORM TO USE THE KNIFE UNNECESSARILY SOFT FOODS LIKE CROQUETTES  
    97 eti0097 HASH ON TOAST ALL EGGS AND VEGETABLES SHOULD BE CUT  
    98 eti0098 OR MERELY BROKEN APART WITH THE EDGE OF THE FORK HELD LIKE THE KNIFE  
    99 eti0099 AFTER WHICH THE FORK IS TURNED IN THE HAND TO FIRST OR SHOVEL POSITION  
    100 eti0100 THE KNIFE MUST NEVER BE USED TO SCOOP BAKED POTATO OUT OF THE SKIN  
    101 eti0101 OR TO BUTTER POTATO A FORK MUST BE USED FOR ALL MANIPULATIONS OF VEGETABLES  
    102 eti0102 BUTTER FOR BAKED POTATOES TAKEN ON THE TIP OF THE FORK SHOVEL FASHION  
    103 eti0103 LAID ON THE POTATO AND THEN PRESSED DOWN AND MIXED WITH THE PRONGS HELD POINTS CURVED UP  
    104 eti0104 WHEN NO KNIFE IS BEING USED THE FORK IS HELD IN THE RIGHT HAND  
    105 eti0105 WHETHER USED PRONGS DOWN TO IMPALE THE MEAT OR PRONGS UP TO LIFT VEGETABLES  
    106 eti0106 TO PILE MASHED POTATO AND OTHER VEGETABLES ON THE CONVEX SIDE OF THE FORK  
    107 eti0107 ON TOP OF THE MEAT FOR TWO OR MORE INCHES OF ITS LENGTH  
    108 eti0108 IS A DISGUSTING HABIT DEAR TO SCHOOL BOYS AND ONE THAT IS MORE EASILY PREVENTED THAN CORRECTED  
    109 eti0109 IN FACT TAKING A BIG MOUTHFUL NEXT TO SMEARING HIS FACE AND CHEWING WITH MOUTH OPEN  
    110 eti0110 IS THE WORST OFFENSE AT TABLE WHEN HE HAS FINISHED EATING  
    111 eti0111 HE SHOULD LAY HIS KNIFE AND FORK CLOSE TOGETHER SIDE BY SIDE  
    112 eti0112 WITH HANDLES TOWARD THE RIGHT SIDE OF HIS PLATE  
    113 eti0113 THE HANDLES PROJECTING AN INCH OR TWO BEYOND THE RIM OF THE PLATE  
    114 eti0114 THEY MUST BE PLACED FAR ENOUGH ON THE PLATE SO THAT THERE IS NO DANGER OF THEIR OVER BALANCING ON TO THE TABLE OR FLOOR  
    115 eti0115 WHEN REMOVED AT THE END OF THE COURSE OTHER TABLE MATTERS  
    116 eti0116 THE DISTANCE FROM THE TABLE AT WHICH IT IS BEST TO SIT  
    117 eti0117 IS A MATTER OF PERSONAL COMFORT  
    118 eti0118 A CHILD SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO BE SO CLOSE THAT HIS ELBOWS ARE BENT LIKE A GRASSHOPPER'S  
    119 eti0119 NOR SO FAR BACK THAT FOOD IS APT TO BE SPILLED IN TRANSIT FROM PLATE TO MOUTH  
    120 eti0120 CHILDREN LIKE TO DRINK VERY LONG AND RAPIDLY ALL IN ONE BREATH  
    121 eti0121 UNTIL THEY ARE PINK AROUND THE EYES AND ARE LITERALLY GASPING  
    122 eti0122 THEY ALSO LOVE TO PUT THEIR WHOLE HANDS IN THEIR FINGER BOWLS AND WIGGLE THEIR FINGERS  
    123 eti0123 A BABY OF TWO OR AT LEAST BY THE TIME HE IS THREE  
    124 eti0124 SHOULD BE TAUGHT TO DIP THE TIPS OF HIS FINGERS IN THE FINGER BOWL  
    125 eti0125 WITHOUT PLAYING DRAW THE FINGERS OF THE RIGHT HAND ACROSS HIS MOUTH  
    126 eti0126 AND THEN WIPE HIS LIPS AND FINGERS ON THE APRON OF HIS BIB  
    127 eti0127 NO SMALL CHILD CAN BE EXPECTED TO USE A NAPKIN INSTEAD OF A BIB  
    128 eti0128 NO MATTER HOW NICELY BEHAVED HE MAY BE THERE IS ALWAYS DANGER OF HIS SPILLING SOMETHING SOME TIME  
    129 eti0129 SOFT BOILED EGG IS HIDEOUSLY DIFFICULT TO EAT WITHOUT EVER GETTING A DROP OF IT DOWN THE FRONT  
    130 eti0130 AND IT IS MUCH EASIER TO SUPPLY HIM WITH A CLEAN BIB FOR THE NEXT MEAL  
    131 eti0131 THAN TO CHANGE HIS DRESS FOR THE NEXT MOMENT VERY LITTLE CHILDREN USUALLY HAVE HOT WATER PLATES  
    132 eti0132 THAT ARE SPECIALLY MADE LIKE A DOUBLE PLATE WITH HOT WATER SPACE BETWEEN  
    133 eti0133 ON WHICH THE MEAT IS CUT UP AND THE VEGETABLES FIXED IN THE PANTRY  
    134 eti0134 AND BROUGHT TO THE CHILDREN BEFORE OTHER PEOPLE AT THE TABLE ARE SERVED  
    135 eti0135 NOT ONLY BECAUSE IT IS HARD FOR THEM TO BE MADE TO WAIT  
    136 eti0136 AND HAVE THEIR ATTENTION ATTRACTED BY FOOD NOT FOR THEM BUT BECAUSE THEY TAKE SO LONG TO EAT  
    137 eti0137 AS SOON AS THEY ARE OLD ENOUGH TO EAT EVERYTHING ON THE TABLE THEY ARE SERVED  
    138 eti0138 NOT LAST BUT IN THE REGULAR ROTATION AT TABLE IN WHICH THEY COME  
    139 eti0139 TABLE TRICKS THAT MUST BE CORRECTED TO SIT UP STRAIGHT AND KEEP THEIR HANDS IN THEIR LAPS WHEN NOT OCCUPIED WITH EATING  
    140 eti0140 IS VERY HARD FOR A CHILD BUT SHOULD BE INSISTED UPON IN ORDER TO PREVENT A CARELESS ATTITUDE  
    141 eti0141 THAT ALL TOO READILY DEGENERATES INTO FLOPPING THIS WAY AND THAT AND INTO FINGERING  
    142 eti0142 WHATEVER IS IN REACH HE MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO WARM HIS HANDS ON HIS PLATE  
    143 eti0143 OR DRUM ON THE TABLE OR SCREW HIS NAPKIN INTO A ROPE OR MAKE MARKS ON THE TABLECLOTH  
    144 eti0144 IF HE SHOWS TALENT AS AN ARTIST GIVE HIM PENCILS OR MODELING WAX IN HIS PLAYROOM  
    145 eti0145 BUT DO NOT LET HIM BITE HIS SLICE OF BREAD INTO THE SILHOUETTE OF AN ANIMAL  
    146 eti0146 OR MODEL FIGURES IN SOFT BREAD AT THE TABLE  
    147 eti0147 AND DO NOT ALLOW HIM TO CONSTRUCT A TENT OUT OF TWO FORKS  
    148 eti0148 OR AN AUTOMOBILE CHASSIS OUT OF TUMBLERS AND KNIVES FOOD AND TABLE IMPLEMENTS ARE NOT PLAYTHINGS  
    149 eti0149 NOR IS THE DINING ROOM A PLAYGROUND TALKING AT TABLE WHEN OLDER PEOPLE ARE PRESENT AT TABLE  
    150 eti0150 AND A CHILD WANTS TO SAY SOMETHING HE MUST BE TAUGHT TO STOP EATING MOMENTARILY AND LOOK AT HIS MOTHER  
    151 eti0151 WHO AT THE FIRST PAUSE IN THE CONVERSATION WILL SAY WHAT IS IT DEAR  
    152 eti0152 AND THE CHILD THEN HAS HIS SAY IF HE WANTS MERELY TO LAUNCH FORTH ON A LONG SUBJECT OF HIS OWN CONVERSATION  
    153 eti0153 HIS MOTHER SAYS NOT NOW DARLING WE WILL TALK ABOUT THAT BY AND BY OR  
    154 eti0154 DON'T YOU SEE THAT MOTHER IS TALKING TO AUNT MARY WHEN CHILDREN ARE AT TABLE ALONE WITH THEIR MOTHER  
    155 eti0155 THEY SHOULD NOT ONLY BE ALLOWED TO TALK BUT UNCONSCIOUSLY TRAINED IN TABLE CONVERSATION  
    156 eti0156 AS WELL AS IN TABLE MANNERS CHILDREN ARE ALL MORE OR LESS LITTLE MONKEYS IN THAT THEY IMITATE EVERYTHING THEY SEE  
    157 eti0157 IF THEIR MOTHER TREATS THEM EXACTLY AS SHE DOES HER VISITORS THEY IN TURN PLAY VISITOR TO PERFECTION  
    158 eti0158 NOTHING HURTS THE FEELINGS OF CHILDREN MORE THAN NOT BEING ALLOWED TO BEHAVE LIKE GROWN PERSONS WHEN THEY THINK THEY ARE ABLE  
    159 eti0159 TO BE HELPED TO BE FED TO HAVE THEIR FOOD CUT UP  
    160 eti0160 ALL HAVE A STULTIFYING EFFECT UPON THEIR DEVELOPMENT AS SOON AS THEY HAVE BECOME EXPERT ENOUGH TO ATTEMPT THESE SERVICES FOR THEMSELVES  
    161 eti0161 CHILDREN SHOULD BE TAUGHT FROM THE TIME THEY ARE LITTLE NOT TO TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY LIKE AND DON'T LIKE  
    162 eti0162 A CHILD WHO IS NOT ALLOWED TO SAY ANYTHING BUT NO THANK YOU AT HOME  
    163 eti0163 WILL NOT MORTIFY HIS MOTHER IN PUBLIC BY SCREAMING I HATE STEAK I WON'T EAT POTATO  
    164 eti0164 I WANT ICE CREAM QUIETNESS AT TABLE  
    165 eti0165 OLDER CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO JERK OUT THEIR CHAIRS TO FLOP DOWN SIDEWAYS TO FLICK THEIR NAPKINS BY ONE CORNER  
    166 eti0166 TO REACH OUT FOR SOMETHING OR BEGIN TO EAT NUTS FRUIT OR OTHER TABLE DECORATIONS  
    167 eti0167 A CHILD AS WELL AS A GROWN PERSON SHOULD SIT DOWN QUIETLY IN THE CENTER OF HIS CHAIR  
    168 eti0168 AND DRAW IT UP TO THE TABLE IF THERE IS NO ONE TO PUSH IT IN FOR HIM  
    169 eti0169 BY HOLDING THE SEAT IN EITHER HAND WHILE MOMENTARILY LIFTING HIMSELF ON HIS FEET  
    170 eti0170 HE MUST NOT JUMP OR ROCK HIS CHAIR INTO PLACE AT THE TABLE  
    171 eti0171 IN GETTING UP FROM THE TABLE AGAIN HE MUST PUSH HIS CHAIR BACK QUIETLY  
    172 eti0172 USING HIS HANDS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE CHAIR SEAT AND NOT BY HOLDING ON TO THE TABLE EDGE  
    173 eti0173 AND GIVING HIMSELF CHAIR AND ALL A SUDDEN SHOVE  
    174 eti0174 THERE SHOULD NEVER BE A SOUND MADE BY THE PUSHING IN OR OUT OF CHAIRS AT TABLE  
    175 eti0175 THE SPOILED CHILD THE BAD MANNERS OF AMERICAN CHILDREN WHICH UNFORTUNATELY ARE SUPPOSED BY FOREIGNERS TO BE TYPICAL  
    176 eti0176 ARE NEARLY ALWAYS THE RESULT OF THEIR BEING GIVEN STAR PARTS BY OVER FOND BUT EQUALLY OVER FOOLISH MOTHERS  
    177 eti0177 IT IS ONLY NECESSARY TO BRING TO MIND THE MOST IRRITATING AND OBJECTIONABLE CHILD ONE KNOWS  
    178 eti0178 AND THE CHANCES ARE THAT ITS MOTHER CONTINUALLY THROWS THE SPOTLIGHT ON IT  
    179 eti0179 BY TALKING TO IT AND ABOUT IT  
    180 eti0180 AND BY CALLING ATTENTION TO ITS LOOKS OR ITS CUNNING WAYS OR EVEN POSSIBLY ITS NAUGHTINESS  
    181 eti0181 IT IS HUMANLY NATURAL TO MAKE A FUSS OVER LITTLE CHILDREN PARTICULARLY IF THEY ARE PRETTY  
    182 eti0182 AND IT TAKES QUITE SUPER HUMAN CONTROL FOR A YOUNG MOTHER NOT TO SHOW OFF HER TREASURE  
    183 eti0183 BUT TO SAY INSTEAD PLEASE DO NOT PAY ANY ATTENTION TO HER  
    184 eti0184 SOME CHILDREN WHO ARE ESPECIALLY FREE FROM SELF CONSCIOUSNESS STAND STARDOM BETTER THAN OTHERS WHO ARE MORE READILY SPOILED  
    185 eti0185 BUT IN NINE CASES OUT OF TEN THE OLD FASHIONED METHOD THAT ASSIGNED CHILDREN TO INCONSPICUOUS PLACES IN THE BACKGROUND  
    186 eti0186 AND DECREED THEY MIGHT BE SEEN BUT NOT HEARD  
    187 eti0187 PRODUCED MEN AND WOMEN OF FAR GREATER CHARM THAN THE MODERN METHOD OF ENCOURAGING PUBLIC SELF EXPRESSION  
    188 eti0188 FROM INFANCY UPWARD CHIEF VIRTUE OBEDIENCE NO YOUNG HUMAN BEING ANY MORE THAN A YOUNG DOG  
    189 eti0189 HAS THE LEAST CLAIM TO ATTRACTIVENESS UNLESS IT IS TRAINED TO MANNERS AND OBEDIENCE  
    190 eti0190 THE CHILD THAT WHINES INTERRUPTS FUSSES FIDGETS AND DOES NOTHING THAT IT IS TOLD TO DO  
    191 eti0191 HAS NOT THE LEAST POWER OF ATTRACTION FOR ANY ONE EVEN THOUGH IT MAY HAVE THE FEATURES OF AN ANGEL  
    192 eti0192 AND BE DRESSED LIKE A PICTURE ANOTHER THAT MAY HAVE NO CLAIM TO BEAUTY WHATEVER  
    193 eti0193 BUT THAT IS SWEET AND NICELY BEHAVED EXERTS CHARM OVER EVERY ONE  
    194 eti0194 WHEN POSSIBLE A CHILD SHOULD BE TAKEN AWAY THE INSTANT IT BECOMES DISOBEDIENT  
    195 eti0195 IT SOON LEARNS THAT IT CAN NOT STAY WITH MOTHER UNLESS IT IS WELL BEHAVED  
    196 eti0196 THIS MEANS THAT IT LEARNS SELF CONTROL IN BABYHOOD NOT ONLY MUST CHILDREN OBEY  
    197 eti0197 BUT THEY MUST NEVER BE ALLOWED TO SHOW OFF OR BECOME PERT  
    198 eti0198 OR TO CONTRADICT OR TO ANSWER BACK AND AFTER HAVING BEEN TOLD NO  
    199 eti0199 THEY MUST NEVER BE ALLOWED BY PERSISTENT NAGGING TO WIN YES A CHILD THAT LOSES ITS TEMPER  
    200 eti0200 THAT TEASES THAT IS PETULANT AND DISOBEDIENT AND A NUISANCE TO EVERYBODY  
    201 eti0201 IS MERELY A VICTIM POOR LITTLE THING OF PARENTS WHO HAVE BEEN TOO INCOMPETENT OR NEGLIGENT TO TRAIN IT TO OBEDIENCE  
    202 eti0202 MOREOVER THAT SAME CHILD WHEN GROWN WILL BE THE FIRST TO RESENT AND BLAME THE MOTHER'S MISTAKEN SPOILING  
    203 eti0203 AND LACK OF GOOD SENSE FAIR PLAY NOTHING APPEALS TO CHILDREN MORE THAN JUSTICE  
    204 eti0204 AND THEY SHOULD BE TAUGHT IN THE NURSERY TO PLAY FAIR IN GAMES  
    205 eti0205 TO RESPECT EACH OTHER'S PROPERTY AND RIGHTS TO GIVE CREDIT TO OTHERS  
    206 eti0206 AND NOT TO TAKE TOO MUCH CREDIT TO THEMSELVES  
    207 eti0207 EVERY CHILD MUST BE TAUGHT NEVER TO DRAW ATTENTION TO THE MEAGRE POSSESSIONS OF ANOTHER CHILD  
    208 eti0208 WHOSE PARENTS ARE NOT AS WELL OFF AS HER OWN A PURSE PROUD OVERBEARING CHILD WHO SAYS TO A PLAYMATE  
    209 eti0209 MY CLOTHES WERE ALL MADE IN PARIS AND MY DOLL IS EVER SO MUCH HANDSOMER THAN YOURS  
    210 eti0210 OR IS THAT REAL LACE ON YOUR COLLAR IS NOT IMPRESSING HER YOUNG FRIEND WITH HER GRANDEUR AND DISCRIMINATION  
    211 eti0211 BUT WITH HER DISAGREEABLENESS AND RUDENESS A BOY WHO BRAGS ABOUT WHAT HE HAS  
    212 eti0212 AND BOASTS OF WHAT HE CAN DO  
    213 eti0213 IS ONLY LESS OBJECTIONABLE BECAUSE OTHER BOYS ARE SURE TO TAKE IT OUT OF HIM PROMPTLY AND THOROUGHLY  
    214 eti0214 NOR SHOULD A BRIGHT OBSERVING CHILD BE ENCOURAGED TO PICK OUT OTHER PEOPLE'S FAILINGS  
    215 eti0215 OR TO TELL HER MOTHER HOW INFERIOR OTHER CHILDREN ARE COMPARED WITH HERSELF  
    216 eti0216 IF SHE WINS A RACE OR A MEDAL OR IS PRAISED SHE NATURALLY TELLS HER MOTHER  
    217 eti0217 AND HER MOTHER NATURALLY REJOICES WITH HER AND IT IS PROPER THAT SHE SHOULD  
    218 eti0218 BUT A WISE MOTHER DIRECTS HER CHILD'S MENTAL ATTITUDE TO APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT ARROGANCE  
    219 eti0219 SELFISHNESS AND CONCEIT CAN WIN NO PLACE WORTH HAVING IN THE WORLD CHILDREN AT AFTERNOON TEA  
    220 eti0220 A CUSTOM IN MANY FASHIONABLE HOUSES IS TO ALLOW CHILDREN AS SOON AS THEY ARE OLD ENOUGH  
    221 eti0221 TO COME INTO THE DRAWING ROOM OR LIBRARY AT TEA TIME  
    222 eti0222 AS NOTHING GIVES THEM A BETTER OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN HOW TO BEHAVE IN COMPANY  
    223 eti0223 LITTLE BOYS ARE ALWAYS TAUGHT TO BOW TO VISITORS LITTLE GIRLS TO CURTSY  
    224 eti0224 SMALL BOYS ARE TAUGHT TO PLACE THE INDIVIDUAL TABLES HAND PLATES AND TEA  
    225 eti0225 AND PASS SANDWICHES AND CAKES IF THERE ARE NO BOYS GIRLS PERFORM THIS OFFICE  
    226 eti0226 VERY OFTEN THEY BOTH DO WHEN EVERYBODY HAS BEEN HELPED THE CHILDREN ARE PERHAPS ALLOWED A PIECE OF CAKE  
    227 eti0227 WHICH THEY PUT ON A TEA PLATE AND SIT DOWN AND EAT NICELY  
    228 eti0228 BUT AS THE TEA HOUR IS VERY NEAR THEIR SUPPER TIME THEY ARE OFTEN ALLOWED NOTHING  
    229 eti0229 AND AFTER MAKING THEMSELVES USEFUL GO OUT OF THE ROOM AGAIN

    267 eti0267 ETIQUETTE FOR GROWN CHILDREN ETIQUETTE FOR GROWN CHILDREN IS PRECISELY THE SAME AS FOR GROWN PERSONS  
    268 eti0268 EXCEPTING THAT IN MANY WAYS THE MANNERS EXACTED OF YOUNG PEOPLE SHOULD BE MORE ALERT AND PUNCTILIOUS  
    269 eti0269 YOUNG GIRLS AND BOYS OF COURSE SHOULD HAVE THE MANNERS OF A GENTLEMAN RATHER THAN THOSE OF A LADY  
    270 eti0270 IN THAT A GENTLEMAN ALWAYS RISES RELINQUISHES THE BEST SEAT AND WALKS LAST INTO A ROOM  
    271 eti0271 WHEREAS THESE COURTESIES ARE SHOWN TO AND NOT OBSERVED BY LADIES EXCEPT TO OTHER LADIES OLDER THAN THEMSELVES  
    272 eti0272 IN GIVING PARTIES YOUNG GIRLS SEND OUT THEIR INVITATIONS AS THEIR MOTHERS DO  
    273 eti0273 AND THEIR DEPORTMENT IS THE SAME AS THAT OF THEIR DEBUTANTE SISTER  
    274 eti0274 BOYS BEHAVE AS THEIR FATHERS DO AND ARE EQUALLY PUNCTILIOUS IN FOLLOWING THE CODE OF HONOR OF ALL GENTLEMEN  
    275 eti0275 THE ONLY DETAILS THEREFORE NOT LIKELY TO BE DESCRIBED IN OTHER CHAPTERS OF THIS BOOK  
    276 eti0276 ARE A FEW ADMONITIONS ON TABLE MANNERS THAT ARE SOMEWHAT ABOVE KINDERGARTEN GRADE  
    277 eti0277 THE GRADUATING TESTS IN TABLE MANNERS A YOUNG PERSON MAY BE SUPPOSED TO HAVE GRADUATED FROM THE SCHOOL OF TABLE ETIQUETTE  
    278 eti0278 WHEN SHE OR HE  
    279 eti0279 WOULD BE ABLE TO SIT AT A FORMAL LUNCH OR DINNER TABLE AND FIND NO DIFFICULTY IN EATING PROPERLY ANY OF THE COMESTIBLES WHICH ARE SUPPOSED TO BE HURDLES  
    280 eti0280 TO THE INEXPERT CORN ON THE COB  
    281 eti0281 CORN ON THE COB COULD BE ELIMINATED SO FAR AS EVER HAVING TO EAT IT IN FORMAL COMPANY IS CONCERNED  
    282 eti0282 SINCE IT IS NEVER SERVED AT A LUNCHEON OR A DINNER  
    283 eti0283 BUT IF YOU INSIST ON EATING IT AT HOME OR IN A RESTAURANT  
    284 eti0284 TO ATTACK IT WITH AS LITTLE FEROCITY AS POSSIBLE IS PERHAPS THE ONLY DIRECTION TO BE GIVEN  
    285 eti0285 SINCE AT BEST IT IS AN UNGRACEFUL PERFORMANCE AND TO EAT IT GREEDILY A HORRIBLE SIGHT  
    286 eti0286 ASPARAGUS ALTHOUGH ASPARAGUS MAY BE TAKEN IN THE FINGERS DON'T TAKE A LONG DROOPING STALK  
    287 eti0287 HOLD IT UP IN THE AIR AND CATCH THE END OF IT IN YOUR MOUTH  
    288 eti0288 LIKE A FISH WHEN THE STALKS ARE THIN IT IS BEST TO CUT THEM IN HALF WITH THE FORK  
    289 eti0289 EATING THE TIPS LIKE ALL FORK FOOD THE ENDS MAY THEN BE TAKEN IN THE FINGERS AND EATEN WITHOUT A DROPPING FOUNTAIN EFFECT  
    290 eti0290 DON'T SQUEEZE THE STALKS OR HOLD YOUR HAND BELOW THE END AND LET THE JUICE RUN DOWN YOUR ARM  
    291 eti0291 ARTICHOKES ARTICHOKES ARE ALWAYS EATEN WITH THE FINGERS  
    292 eti0292 A LEAF AT A TIME IS PULLED OFF AND THE EDIBLE END DIPPED IN THE SAUCE  
    293 eti0293 AND THEN BITTEN OFF BREAD AND BUTTER BREAD SHOULD ALWAYS BE BROKEN INTO SMALL PIECES WITH THE FINGERS BEFORE BEING EATEN  
    294 eti0294 IF IT IS TO BE BUTTERED AT LUNCH BREAKFAST OR SUPPER BUT NOT AT DINNER  
    295 eti0295 A PIECE IS HELD ON THE EDGE OF THE BREAD AND BUTTER PLATE  
    296 eti0296 OR THE PLACE PLATE AND ENOUGH BUTTER SPREAD ON IT FOR A MOUTHFUL OR TWO AT A TIME  
    297 eti0297 WITH A SMALL SILVER BUTTER KNIFE BREAD MUST NEVER BE HELD FLAT ON THE PALM OF THE HAND AND BUTTERED IN THE AIR  
    298 eti0298 IF THE REGULAR STEEL KNIFE IS USED CARE MUST BE TAKEN NOT TO SMEAR FOOD FROM THE KNIFE'S SIDE ON THE BUTTER  
    299 eti0299 ANY FOOD THAT IS SMEARED ABOUT IS LOATHSOME PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEAUTIFUL TABLE MANNERS ALWAYS KEEP THEIR PLACES AT TABLE NEAT  
    300 eti0300 PEOPLE WITH DISGUSTING MANNERS GET EVERYTHING IN A HORRIBLE MESS THE MANAGEMENT OF BONES AND PITS  
    301 eti0301 TERRAPIN BONES FISH BONES AND GRAPE SEED MUST BE EATEN QUITE BARE AND CLEAN IN THE MOUTH  
    302 eti0302 AND REMOVED ONE AT A TIME BETWEEN FINGER AND THUMB  
    303 eti0303 ALL SPITTING OUT OF BONES AND PITS INTO THE PLATE IS DISGUSTING IF FOOD IS TOO HOT  
    304 eti0304 QUICKLY TAKE A SWALLOW OF WATER ON NO ACCOUNT SPIT IT OUT  
    305 eti0305 IF FOOD HAS BEEN TAKEN INTO YOUR MOUTH NO MATTER HOW YOU HATE IT  
    306 eti0306 YOU HAVE GOT TO SWALLOW IT IT IS UNFORGIVABLE TO TAKE ANYTHING OUT OF YOUR MOUTH THAT HAS BEEN PUT IN IT  
    307 eti0307 EXCEPT DRY BONES AND STONES TO SPIT ANYTHING WHATEVER INTO THE CORNER OF YOUR NAPKIN  
    308 eti0308 IS TOO NAUSEATING TO COMMENT ON  
    309 eti0309 IT IS HORRID TO SEE ANY ONE SPIT SKINS OR PITS ON A FORK OR INTO THE PLATE  
    310 eti0310 THE ONLY WAY TO TAKE ANYTHING OUT OF YOUR MOUTH IS BETWEEN FIRST FINGER AND THUMB  
    311 eti0311 DRY GRAPE SEEDS OR CHERRY PITS CAN BE DROPPED FROM THE LIPS INTO THE CUPPED HAND  
    312 eti0312 PEACHES OR OTHER VERY JUICY FRUITS ARE PEELED AND THEN EATEN WITH KNIFE AND FORK  
    313 eti0313 BUT DRY FRUITS SUCH AS APPLES MAY BE CUT AND THEN EATEN IN THE FINGERS  
    314 eti0314 NEVER WIPE HANDS THAT HAVE FRUIT JUICE ON THEM ON A NAPKIN WITHOUT FIRST USING A FINGER BOWL  
    315 eti0315 BECAUSE FRUIT JUICES MAKE INDELIBLE STAINS BIRDS BIRDS ARE NOT EATEN WITH THE FINGERS IN COMPANY  
    316 eti0316 YOU CUT OFF AS MUCH OF THE MEAT AS YOU CAN AND LEAVE THE REST ON YOUR PLATE  
    317 eti0317 FORKS OR FINGERS ALL JUICY OR GOOEY FRUITS OR CAKES ARE BEST EATEN WITH A FORK  
    318 eti0318 BUT IN MOST CASES IT IS A MATTER OF DEXTERITY  
    319 eti0319 IF YOU ARE ABLE TO EAT A PEACH IN YOUR FINGERS AND NOT SMEAR YOUR FACE  
    320 eti0320 LET JUICE RUN DOWN OR MAKE A SUCKING NOISE YOU ARE THE ONE IN A THOUSAND WHO MAY  
    321 eti0321 AND WITH UTMOST PROPRIETY CONTINUE THE FEAT  
    322 eti0322 IF YOU CAN EAT A NAPOLEON OR A CREAM PUFF AND NOT LET THE CREAM OOZE OUT ON THE FAR SIDE  
    323 eti0323 YOU NEED NOT USE A FORK BUT IF YOU CAN NOT EAT SOMETHING  
    324 eti0324 NO MATTER WHAT IT IS WITHOUT GETTING IT ALL OVER YOUR FINGERS YOU MUST USE A FORK  
    325 eti0325 AND IF NECESSARY A KNIFE ALSO ALL RULES OF TABLE MANNERS ARE MADE TO AVOID UGLINESS  
    326 eti0326 TO LET ANY ONE SEE WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR MOUTH IS REPULSIVE  
    327 eti0327 TO MAKE A NOISE IS TO SUGGEST AN ANIMAL TO MAKE A MESS IS DISGUSTING  
    328 eti0328 ON THE OTHER HAND THERE ARE A NUMBER OF TRIFLING DECREES OF ETIQUETTE  
    329 eti0329 THAT ARE MERELY FINICAL UNREASONABLE AND SILLY  
    330 eti0330 WHY ONE SHOULD NOT CUT ONE'S SALAD IN SMALL PIECES IF ONE WANTS TO MAKES LITTLE SENSE  
    331 eti0331 UNLESS ONE WANTS TO CUT UP A WHOLE PLATEFUL AND MAKE THE PLATE MESSY  
    332 eti0332 A STEEL KNIFE MUST NOT BE USED FOR SALAD OR FRUIT BECAUSE IT TURNS BLACK  
    333 eti0333 TO CONDEMN THE AMERICAN CUSTOM OF EATING A SOFT BOILED EGG IN A GLASS OR CUP  
    334 eti0334 BECAUSE IT HAPPENS TO BE THE ENGLISH FASHION TO SCOOP IT THROUGH THE RAGGED EDGE OF THE SHELL  
    335 eti0335 IS ABOUT AS REASONABLE AS THOUGH WE WERE TO PROCLAIM ENGLISH MANNERS BAD BECAUSE THEY TAG A BREAKFAST DISH  
    336 eti0336 CALLED A SAVORY OF FISH ROE OR SOMETHING EQUALLY INAPPROPRIATE AFTER THE DESSERT AT DINNER  
    337 eti0337 MANY OTHER ARBITRARY RULES FOR EATING FOOD WITH FORK SPOON OR FINGERS  
    338 eti0338 ARE ALSO STUMBLING BLOCKS RATHER THAN AIDS TO SMOOTHNESS AS SAID ABOVE  
    339 eti0339 ONE EATS WITH A FORK OR SPOON FINGER FOODS THAT ARE MESSY AND STICKY  
    340 eti0340 ONE EATS WITH THE FINGER THOSE WHICH ARE DRY  
    341 eti0341 IT IS TRUE THAT ONE SHOULD NOT EAT FRENCH FRIED POTATOES OR SARATOGA CHIPS IN FINGERS  
    342 eti0342 BUT THAT IS BECAUSE THEY BELONG TO THE MEAT COURSE SEPARATE VEGETABLE SAUCERS ARE NEVER PUT ON A FASHIONABLE TABLE  
    343 eti0343 NEITHER IS BUTTER ALLOWED AT DINNER THEREFORE BOTH MUST BE AVOIDED IN COMPANY BECAUSE COMPANY IS FORMAL  
    344 eti0344 AND ETIQUETTE IS FIRST AID ALWAYS TO FORMALITY  
    345 eti0345 BUT IF A MAN IN HIS OWN HOUSE LIKES BUTTER WITH HIS DINNER OR A SAUCER FOR HIS TOMATOES  
    346 eti0346 HE IS BREAKING THE RULE OF FASHION TO HAVE THEM BUT HE IS SCARCELY COMMITTING AN OFFENSE  
    347 eti0347 IN THE SAME WAY IF HE LIKES TO EAT A CHICKEN WING OR A SQUAB LEG IN HIS FINGERS HE CAN ASK FOR A FINGER BOWL  
    348 eti0348 THE REAL OBJECTION TO EATING WITH THE FINGERS IS GETTING THEM GREASY OR STICKY  
    349 eti0349 AND TO SUCK THEM OR SMEAR ONE'S NAPKIN IS EQUALLY UNSIGHTLY ON THE SUBJECT OF ELBOWS  
    350 eti0350 ALTHOUGH ELBOWS ON THE TABLE ARE SEEN CONSTANTLY IN HIGHEST FASHIONABLE CIRCLES A  
    351 eti0351 WHOLE TABLE'S LENGTH OF ELBOWS PLANTED LIKE CLOTHES LINE POLES AND HANDS WAVING GLASSES OR FORKS ABOUT IN BETWEEN  
    352 eti0352 IS NEITHER AN ATTRACTIVE NOR FORTUNATELY AN ACCURATE PICTURE OF A FASHIONABLE DINNER TABLE  
    353 eti0353 AS A MATTER OF FACT THE TOLERATED ELBOW ON TABLE IS USED ONLY ON OCCASION AND FOR A REASON  
    354 eti0354 AND SHOULD NEITHER BE PERMITTED TO CHILDREN NOR PRACTISED IN THEIR PRESENCE  
    355 eti0355 ELBOWS ARE UNIVERSALLY SEEN ON TABLES IN RESTAURANTS  
    356 eti0356 ESPECIALLY WHEN PEOPLE ARE LUNCHING OR DINING AT A SMALL TABLE OF TWO OR FOUR  
    357 eti0357 AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO MAKE ONESELF HEARD ABOVE THE MUSIC BY ONE'S TABLE COMPANIONS  
    358 eti0358 AND AT THE SAME TIME NOT BE HEARD AT OTHER TABLES NEARBY WITHOUT LEANING FAR FORWARD  
    359 eti0359 AND IN LEANING FORWARD A WOMAN'S FIGURE MAKES A MORE GRACEFUL OUTLINE SUPPORTED ON HER ELBOWS  
    360 eti0360 THAN DOUBLED FORWARD OVER HER HANDS IN HER LAP AS THOUGH IN PAIN  
    361 eti0361 AT HOME WHEN THERE IS NO REASON FOR LEANING ACROSS THE TABLE  
    362 eti0362 THERE IS NO REASON FOR ELBOWS AND AT A DINNER OF CEREMONY  
    363 eti0363 ELBOWS ON THE TABLE ARE RARELY SEEN EXCEPT AT THE ENDS OF THE TABLE  
    364 eti0364 WHERE AGAIN ONE HAS TO LEAN FORWARD IN ORDER TO TALK TO A COMPANION AT A DISTANCE ACROSS THE TABLE CORNER  
    365 eti0365 ELBOWS ARE NEVER PUT ON THE TABLE WHILE ONE IS EATING  
    366 eti0366 TO SIT WITH THE LEFT ELBOW PROPPED ON THE TABLE WHILE EATING WITH THE RIGHT HAND  
    367 eti0367 UNLESS ONE IS ALONE AND ILL OR TO PROP THE RIGHT ONE ON THE TABLE WHILE LIFTING THE FORK OR GLASS TO THE MOUTH  
    368 eti0368 MUST BE AVOIDED END OF CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE
