An illustration from Favourites of a nursery of seventy years ago; and some others of later date, 1916, leaf 370 — Do not allow yourself to stareAt any one with saucy glare.Grease not your fingers carelessly,And break your bread with decency.Dip not a dirty knife in salt^And carefully avoid the faultOf blowing, while at meals, your nose,Unless necessity impose. SCHOOL OF GOOD MANNERS 351 … Lean not your arms upon your chair,But keep your elbows down with care.Stuff not your mouth, nor blow your meat,AYait till its cool enough to eat.Sup not your broth w ith eagerness,But use a spoon w ith gentleness. 352 FAVOURITES OF A NURSERY
