Table Manners of Other Countries.

[By a Traveller.]"
The other day I heard an Eng- Hishwoman laughing at an Ameri- can woman because she first cut up her food with her knife and then laid asido" the knife and ate with the aid of a fork.
This the Englishwoman con- sidered a sign of eccentricity and bad breeding. But if sho had travelled a little more she would perhaps have been more tolerant. She would have realised that you cannot judge foreigners' table manners by our standards, for the simple reason that every nation has its own ideas and kinks in these little matters.
Many perfectly charming Americans chop up their food as my friend's acquaintance. did. They also use what we should call teaspoons for dessert, employing desscrlapoons only for soup.

their knife and fork, when not in
action, at right angles to the diner, with the handles resting on the cloth and the points sticking up Into the air. Sometimes the im- plements fall off and deposit gravy and what-not on the cloth; but the Russians. A philosophical and fatalistic race, do not mind this much; and after a time the visitor hecenies comparatively Indiferent
too.
The Russians have many other ideas which strike the stranger as odd. When pouring out wine,. I found, they made 'a point of letting it slop over on to the tablecloth. This is regarded as the hallmark of hospitality; It shows that your host is not mean about his cellar. And, after inducing you to drink four or five vodkas, all deceptively watery in appearance but fiery in content, they lead you reeling into dinner with the hearty remark: "Now let's have something to drink."
For the stranger in China there are worse traps still. Your host begins, for instance, by having glasses of tea served. At my firat call on a war lord I made the mis- take of stoically drinking five In auccession, in the belief that I was doing the right thing. Imagine
my horror and disgust on learning that the tea should be raised to
