HOSTESS: A guest at table should
not refuse to partake of any dish Of
fered. One can always take some of
everything. and pretend to eat a lit
tie, at least, so as not to seem to dis
like what the hostess has provided.
Guests should never comment on the
food. the decorations. nor anything
pertaining to the meal-not even to
admire.
