WHAT TO IN 60CIBTV, (By A. Codger in Rockingharti PostDinner and Other Occasions. (By A. Codger in Rockingha raPoat-. Dispatch.) At the early dawn of civilization when our primitive ancestors were tirst enlightened by the faint flickering rays of thought intelligence, the idea of courtesy was probably spawned. Manners, politeness, kindness and courtesy are grouped "'idfr the word etiquette. Most research* worker# iu history, Jack Dempsey, dlabe Ruth and other paleotologists agree that the term originated when neolithic man upon returning to his cave-like domicile after the chase, having killed and eaten a cat, replied to his ribs invitation to supper, "No thanks. I iiave just et u cat." Hence the word? etiquette. Caesar, who is known to have suffered a great deal from (Jaul trouble, was courteous to the last, and replied to Brutus' question as to the number, of eggs he had eaten on the morning of the Ides of March, "Et tu, Brute." The stone age ushered in the idea of calling on one's neighbors. The visitor would merely bounce a stone off the head of his neighbor instead of leaving a card?certainly a more impressive manner of making one's presence felt. And their sense of etiquette was so ingrained that nothing hut had health ever prevented their returning a call. The rules of etiquette are so broad that there is a particular set for every type of activity, but in this sketch we will only attempt to cover a few general subjects that are unimportant. At all formal dinners it is necessary that the gentlemen have their clothes on, and the rest of the men should practice hypocracy on such occasions The ladies as usual will wear rings and necklaces. Try and conceal your embarassment and emotion on such occasions. You should he at ease, as much as the man who is about to relax in a chair connected with some'ddgh^voltage wires, as cool us a steamer stoker* in the middle of July, as calm as a Jew over jhe first customer on Monday morning. If your feet hurt, take your shoes off,:.us it impossible to enjoy anything with a cow hide "persecuting your bunions, and it naturally cramps your style. The proper use of the myriad at the banquet board is always baffling, as it is dolled up more than the surgeon's deck for a major Operation. The cave man first honed down the rocks and made knives. A pretty sharp trick for a cave man. The use of the knife really takes practice and dexterity to keep from cutting your lip. * y Peas and beans are frequently on the menu and nothing is so annoying to the parties near you as the beans falling off your knife and bouncing around over their food. Your should guard against that carefully. A good way is to crumble corn bread, mix with molasses qnd the beans will stick to the knife and a safe journey to the ; as ure i. You should not i a g at the table unless acorn pan red by the others over their soup bowl. Soup can he passed up quickly if not too hot. The main idea is to keep in tune with the others. The meats and salads of course should he oaten by I mouth and no thought of host'or hostess will serve the ice cream hot enough to burn you. Usually the custom determines proper conduct: therefore the proper place for the napkin is under the left foot. It may be good breeding to sample everything the hostess offers, but not always good judgment. If she asks' you to have some more corn, it is considered excellent taste to say, "No thanks, I prefer rye or Scotch." Accidents will often occur and should cause but little embarassment. If you spill something on your neighbor immediately assure him that you didn't want it anyway, as that relieves him. If the meat slips out of your, plate while carving it a>nd lambasts the guest opposite you, dd^not be rude enough to try to reclaim the meat, as to the visitor belongs the spoils of victory. To knock an expensive dish over with your elbow is usually a costly break and is best passed off by some complacent re-mark as "Deucedly. poor pottery," etc. If your teeth should drop out into your plate, immediately grab the l ight plate and replace, as this is better than letting some molar plumber tinker with it. Incidentally never take jour glass eye out and lay it on the plate, n ssoine guest who is fond of stuffed olives may make a mistake. If called on for an after-dinner speech, say nothing, but do like all i the others and consume about an hour | ;.i saying it. After-dinner speeches are not so popular now as they were before the Volstead Act went into effect, as a sober man often hates to vaate his time. \\ hen d'.mr.g at hotels, always call Hoth 8enUiu?4 to Death. Wetumpka, Ala., Sept II.?Clyde ,Kee?e Bachelor and Hay? Leonard, negro, wore today sentenced to be hanged on Friday, October 22, for the murder of Judge Lamar C. Hmith, Bachelor's father-in-law. A jury in circuit court brought in a verdict of guilty In I^oimrd's case ahortly after 9 o'clock this morning. A similar verdict in Bachelor'a case had been returned in the aame caae 24 houra earlier. Notice of appeal was given in each case. Neither Bachelor npr the negro showed the slightest concern when the sentence was passed. ' V y \ 1 "" ' ' , The White House has had telephond communication for forty-flve years, | the first instrument being installed by i order of President Grant. the waiter "Jack" or "George" and do ! Dot fall to bawl him out so the other guests can hear H. That marks you I as a man used to handling men, a man J of affairs; then every one immediately knows that you are a section boss or a traffic cop. You should complain no matter how gobd the service is, In order to show people what you are used to. And don't forget to tip lavishly?a dollar or more for the most trivial service, as John D. Rockefeller and Andy Carnegie were noted for dimaa and quarters, as well as many individuals who were well able to spot more. In small restaurants where they have waitresses you need not bother about form?let the waitresses take care of that. It is very poor taste to make a date with a homely waitress. Some authorities say for you to act natural, just as you would at home, but you know better than that. You couldn't get away with it. You would either be kicked out or arrested. Manners on the street and elsewhere should be governed by the exigencies of the .occasion,. Simply because you have not been introduced to a manNor happen not to be on speaking tirms with him, does not constitute a good reason formot yelling ut him to "^watch his step" if he is about to be run over by something In walking along the street with your wife you should be on the outside next to the curb bo that anything falling from the roof or windows would not hit you. In walking with the other fellow's wife you should eall a taxi. In conversation always avoid sharp remarks as they are very cutting and may spoil your neighbor's evening, or if he is a tough may spoil your own. If married a good way to avoid making verbal breaks is to have your wife alorfg then she won't give you a chance. It's the height of poor judgment to pick a quarrel with a man you cah't lick. No sober man . and very few drunks will make this break. Always be courteous to -those less fortunate than yourselves. Be kind to the elevator boy. He has his ups and downs. c Be patient with teachers; their troubles are little ones, but many. Be patient for doctors; because they have to eat. Be courteous to your boss; as you have to eat, too. Never be rude to a policeman: he might hurt your feelings. Be fare with the street car conductor; he has his jolts. The art of conversation was first invented and fostered by the ladies; as they practice it most, they are most skijled in it. Can --you imagine anything more crude or unhealthy than arguing with your wife ot mother-in-law? This break immediately marks one as an injured imbecile. Conversation is best carried in a basket as there is less of it spilled then. One of the most costly orrors is trying to persuade a traffic cop against his will. It is a serious blunder to talk back to the judge when you are in a hurry, as he may become so interested in the subject that he would detain you. The sarpe rules of etiquette apply to sports; they should imitate the gentlemen as much as possible. The golf course is very much like the beach?you see both good and bad form. , ' If you have a regard for the truthj do not take up golf, as you will be unable to compete with the others in the locker room. If you are a real estate agent by all means play the game, as it will help you in your business. Your lies will seem more natural and less less forced. Most successful recruiting officers, as well as many other liars,, attribute their downfall - to golf. But on the green you are hound to your caddy by the links. It: is a Scotch game and should be played tight, although some sober people play. The main idea is to win, but if you can't win on the links you still have a chance in the locker room. It is hard to remember the rules governing etiquette of the many phoses of life. The subject is so polished that it slips the mind. But try and keep the closing thought?do not let too much etiquette spoil your opportunity to really enjoy yourself.
