Etiquette In 1924,

Here is a curious extract from the
court regulations of the Hofburg for
the year 1924 on the etiquette to be OBJ
served by officers when invited to the
royal table. The regulation begins by
stating that officers usually behave I'M
der such circumstances with great po-
likeness and good breeding, like true
and worthy cavaliers" but that the
emperor thinks it necessary to issue
the following directions for the use Of
inexperienced cadets:
81. officers should come to the palace
handsomely dressed and not enter the
room in a half drunken state.
SO. When they are at table, they
should not rock about on their chairs
nor sit back and stretch out their legs.
SO. They should not drink after each
mouthful, as by so doing they will very
soon get drunk. nor drink more than
half a glass at a time, and before
drinking they should wipe their lips
and moustachios.
81. They should not put their hands
in the dishes nor throw bones under
the table.
So They should not lick their fin
gers nor drink so brutally as to fall off
their chairs"
