CARRYING A TRAY.
Disastrous accidents happen to one !5 best china sometimes, merely because a tray is carried in a wrong way, or is overloaded, x Never carry a tray with your arms out. Tlio correct way is to keep your elbows well into your sides; then there is not so much danger of a collision with any person or thing. With a heavily-loaded tray it is s..fer to keep one hand underneath to bear the weight, rather than catch hold of the handles, which may not be able to -vJJid a very heavy weight. Heavy articles should bo placed at the back of the tray nearest you, and the tray held close to your body, it is not wise, however, to try to carry a tray that is very heavy, and thore is always a danger of one overstraining oneself. It is far botter to make frequent, journeys between the kitchen and diningroom than load everything on one tray.
