the two, but, il, like the Russian
service. requires 4 maid
In the Russian service, no food
is on the table except candy or nuts.
All serving is done from the pantry
or the serving table. The food is
attractively arranged on suitable
dishes and offered to each person
by the maid from the left.
In the English style, all the food
is placed on the table and served
by those sitting at the head and
foot of the table. II one has
maid, the passing is done by her;
II not, by those sitting at the table.
In the mixed" service, some of
the courses are served from the
side (Russian) and some from the
table English
Without a maid. the English
service is the best With one. I
like the meat carved and served bv
the father from his place at the
head of the table, and the yege-
ables and other things served by
the maid from the side in Russian
fashion. When dessert comes. IL
