Striking the Joint

T HE taking off of the joints, according to Oscar of the Waldorf, is the most important part of the carving. A carver can spoil a dinner by not knowing his business. He must have science and patience and be a graceful subject or he will surely be a laughable one. If he will do as shown in these illustrations, there will be no more grumbling over "tough joints" or sawing and pulling at bones while blaming the tools. Women as well as men ought to know how to cut up a turkey, and they can not commence to learn too young.
