TABLE MANNERS

By Delap Stevenson

Tudor architecture may be copied by the very nicest people, but not Tudor table manners. According to Charles Laughton, Henry VIII. did not stop short of splashing gravy, even into the eye of a Minis- ter of the State.

Table manners unfortunately are not an innate or even an inherited characteristic. Each child has to go through all the evolutionary stages, beginning as a little animal utterly unashamed in its greed for storn food, and ending, after a course of nursery and school discin- line, as a person fit to attend publie dinngra.

Greedy bolting is amusing and rather charming in a puppy, but rude in even a very small child. It Is the first matter over which the -noblesse oblige of being human comes into play. Left to himself. a child has one idea-to get the food on board as rapidly as possible and he simply does not realise whether or not he is being messy Labout it.

A Hard Lesson

The next unnatural thing a child has to learn is to eat what he does not like. It has to be done in cold blood, too, with no special help from starvallon, the only thing which would Induce a young animal to eat anything it found nasty.

Lastly, there comes a. training designed to prepare the child for the time when he will have to ston after-dinner speeches. Although he has finished his last piece of bread and butter, he is not allowed to "get down," but has to sit for ages on a hard chair, doing nothing and listening to other people's talk. Table manners, of course, vary from place to place. Nobody could call the French uncivilised, but they set about their food in a do-

English Apathy Perhaps, however, it is we who are in the wrong. Perhaps our nursery training is too thorough. Children are taught to be such perfect little ladies and gentlemen at the table that they develop a kind of enforced apathy about what they eat. English cooking might not be the tragedy It so often la if Pauline and John, at their most impressionable age, had not been made to be so polite about Insipid milk puddings.
