How rare u such an instance. Ofttimes
one wishes that the fules Of table ell
Quette might be daily rchearsed. Il
seems absurd, and yet observation
teaches as how necessary that the Dc
not's be enforced and reinforced.
Do not use . spoon or . knife when
fork will do.
Do not elevate fruit or anything elst
to the mouth with knife.
DO not section Oh q alice OF breat
With your knife.
DO not butter an entire slice at on,
time.
DO not all = soup spoon towards you
DO not present the tip Of = spoon Il
your mouth.
DO not beat tattoo between courses
DO not mark out designs on the table
cloth With the silver.
Do not eat rapidly.
These rules seem trite and unneces
cary. But constant lapses show thei
importance.
