Guests should make it point to be on
hand before the hour appointed for dinner.
Ii is extremely ill-bred to come striDging
in the next day or the day after In order
to ensure against keeping the table wait
ing, perhaps it would be better to come the
night before and stay over night.
1t is quite au fsit for the host to carve,
though tie custom has prevailed in come
countries for the guests TO carVo the host
before the repast was finished.
Guard carefully against mistaking o
plate OF hot soup for finger bowl. Should
such contretemps happen, however, it is
entirely admissible to put the fingers in
the mouth.
Beside each plate should be placed as
many knives, forks and spoons as will be
needed for the different courses. They
should be carefully counted, of course, and
private marks affixed in order that they
might be identified in case any CT them
disappeared during the dinner.
GUESS should no: be offended when re.
quested to give receipts for the napkins
they are provided with.
The waiter should present carved dishes
on the lef! side of the guest. The guest
can keep on the right side Of the waiter by
giving him hall dollar now and then.
II guest prefers his dish carved before
hand, he should buy plain wooden dish,
take it to some wood carver, and let him
carve it.
A fond mother should serve jellies and
sauces to her children in saucer instead
of in the hand, no matter no" much they
may saucer if they can't have it that way.
Ia winter plates should always be brought
in at white heat, and guests should come
provided with buckskin gloves for handling
