By Flora Hill We must always keep in uilud our friends that we are with. First, do I he tilings that they enjoy, then do your liest to help them enjoy themseius. hi this way we should look our best ur all (lines, always appear happy and have a smile tor every one. it Is not so much what we any, but the way we say it. that Impresses the one we arc talking to. Table maimers are often neglected, but they should be watched closely, as they often rc eai scute bad traits. A little girl once said of a gentleman that she sat by at a banijuet table, nh! I know he is a gentleman because I did not notice him aii all when he was eating. He locked ns if he were jiist talking and having a good lime, but he must have eaten sonic For there was not much left on his plure when it was taken away.'- No hotter description could be given of good table no oners. There are some things that we must never do when the table; break up bread in soup; blow' on soup or coffee to cool it; play with silverware; lift a goblet by the bowl it, stead of by the stem; hold a cup in both hands while sipping from it; putting a used napkin back on the table twfore all have finished. Two of the worst crimes of eating are greediness and haste. A ton hearty appetite must I e res trained a little, and the harrier must hold down his «peed .. la to have a chane NVe should lie careful ul-ont our carriage We should not swing our arms when we walk as h looks as if we might lie taking our “daily dogeti’1 before the public. One looks i., i .. i ciit r h the hands an hanging by the side. Wo shointl never slump down In h chair for we show lack of interest and often look idiotic. We should take our re-t in t ir private loom, an Hint we euu npptdi interested in the conversation of § ur f.'tends. When sitting one should never play with jcwtlry, nor move their position, as it is very annoying to the ones that are near. It is easy lo overtime this nervous habit by relaxing the nody evei,v lime there is a chance. Be careful of your stand- ing posture as it is very uiiUaoming lo stand with chest diopped, stomach forward and both hands in some awkward position. However, a pciwn who stands erect Is attractive, liecftnae of their graceful lines. When two people are engaged in a conversation, do not interrupt, but wait untjl there is a break In tne conversation, ilic!i you inn apeak to either person without iicing impolite. When a geo Nr man is walking with hi, Ik», whether oac or more, he should always walk next to the curb. When doing something for a friend, whether It Is a gift or some favor, always lemembtr tuHr likes and dislikes and u to do something that will please them.

THE BUTTERFLY Once upon a time two little girls asked their mother if they might urep re a lunch and go to the brook on a picnic. She iuld them she did not caie, » » they hurried and »uon were gone. They soou reached a delightful apot, and sat down to rest. .Sarah, the younger fel asleep. Mildred, the older, soon grew Mred of sitting alone, so she got up and strolled up and down the bank of the little creek. Soon a large brilliant, lmgh colored butterfly sailed over her head. Now Mildred was very fond of bright butterflies. She set out in pursuit of the pretty thing, and before tong she discovered it was hauler to catch than she thought. She was tired and thirsty ami os she leaned down to drink, the butterfly flew down and alighted on her hand. She gasjted in awe, the butterfly was gentle. She turned and storied home and to her dismay she found ►'be was lost. Mildred burst into tears. Hut lo! a voice »va« speaking to her very softly. “Child, if you will take me and shelter me for one year, 1 will show you the way home.' Mildred was very much surprised to hear a butterfly talk. Hut why.” asked Mildred. The butterfly softly replied T was once a princess, but now I am merely a little butterfly. It I am sheltered for oue year. I am to return to my former self. When Mildred readied her home she found that Sarah bad become tired of waiting for her and had gone home. Tb ir father was starting to hunt for her. She kept the beautiful butterfly one year lacki'g one day. and on that day it disappeared and no one knows whole i went. where be entered high school there. Iieic he was always a «tar player on the baseball and football teams. He pitched for the base-ball team and played in the back field on the football team. All through his High School and Junior Col- lege life there was not a game that he did not play in. He was never pulled out of a baseball game ir kicked out of u football game. In the Spring of nineteen hundred and twenty, he grad- uated with high honors from the Cherokee Junior Col in the next vea he taught school at Fsbon, in a two teacher school where he was principal. The next year he taught in the Cherokee High School, was re-elected and taught there three more years. His sixth year he taught in Burnet High School. Mr. Sallee, the man I am writing a biography of, is a lover of all kinds of sporta. He not only loves games but likes to get out in the woods with a pack of hounds and roam them for fox and deer. ®G © BURNET BULLETIN PRINT—FERGUSON DESIGNER-PRINTER
