Indeed quite often there is a! general mixup and when the toast is proposed with people standing some take their glasses and drink, others hold the glasses while the National | Anthem is sung. Both are incorrect. i The formal toast to the King should | be observed thus: as the chairman says "Ladies and Gentleman (or Gentlemen) the King!" everybody | stands at attention and holds. that position throughout the singing of the National Anthem. Then he or she takes the glass and drinks the toast. Simple enough, But not often done! aright. ~~ o> Flowers Brighten the Home We have some very lovely ETRE Black or Brown Velvet Fur-Trimmed to Fit any Shoe $2.50 TOY TOWN IS NOW OPEN Dishes Books Electric Trains Candy " COME AND SEE Christmas Cards, 3 for Se, 2 for 5¢ DOLLS--25c. to $3.00 Silk Hosiery, Chiffon--69c., 79c., $1.00 Chiffon Hosiery, $1, or 3 prs. $2.50 New Navel Oranges for Christmas now in.
