Ancient Table Etiquette.

Some of the ancient table directions are
very quaint. You are told, for instance,
not to eat much cheese, not to leave your
spoon on your platter, not to play with
your knife or roll your napkin into cord
or tie it into knots; only to take two or
three nuts when nuts are on the table, and
not to get intoxicated during dinner time.
The 'Boke of Curtasye' also warns people
not to play with the cats and dogs while at
table.-Cor. Chicago Herald.
