Q. What should a person do with | his left hand while eating at the table? A. Unless the left hand is in use, which is of course necessary at times, it should be kept in the lap. Q. What jewels, if any, should| the bride wear for the ceremony? A. Only the gift from the bride- groom. - DAILY LESSONS IN ENGLISH * By W. L.
