FOR DINNER GUESTS

THE first duty of the man or woman
: who has received an invitation to
dine at the house of a friend is to
send either an acceptance or regret to
that invitation. There is no function
where an even number Of guests is
more essential to its success than a
dinner A dinner engagement once
made can be broken only for some
vital reason, such as sickness, death
in the family, etc. / have known a
girl to accept an invitation of this
character, then, day or two before
the dinner, decide that her blue gown
was too soiled, and her pink one was
out Of date, and finally write hasty
note to her hostess, saying that she
finds she is unable to be present. This
is simply inexcusable.
Guests should arrive at the house
of their hostess about ten minutes be-
fore the hour set 1t is almost as
grave a mistake to arrive thirty min
utes too soon as ten minutes too late.
AS a rule no room is set aside for the
men, as they come in evening dress
and simply remove their coats and
hats In the hall, but a dressing room
Is always ready for the women.
When the dinner is announced the
hostess asks the men to escort the
ladies to the dining room. She desig-
mates to each man the woman whom
he is to take in. He then offers his
left arm to that woman and finds their
seats, which will be indicated by place
cards. The gentleman then draws out
the chair, seats his companion, and
seats himself. It is, Of course, neces-
sary that the hostess be seated first.
All seated, the guests take their nap
kins and, opening them ,unostentatious-

", lay them across their laps. The
first course Is usually on the table
when the guests enter the dining
room. The hostess gives the signal to
eat by doing so herself. In this coun-
try 1t is not usual TO begin eating until
all present have been served, but in
England it is considered better form
to begin as soon as you are served.
It Is in very bad form to refuse q
course even though you do not wish
to eat it. You may, If you choose, re-
fuse some dish that is passed but you
should never refuse the course. If
you do not like soup, that is no rea-
son why you should not have a plate
of it set before you. You need not
indulge in it to any extent but make
pretense of 1t.
Sometimes after dinner it is the Gus
tom for the ladies to adjourn to the
drawing room and have coffee there
leaving the men of the party to enjoy
stag smoke. This is the English
custom but more and more we are
adopting the French method of adj
journing to the drawing room all to-
gether.
