Eating Melon with q Fork
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
I have heard that it is proper
to eat cantaloupe with a fork.
Is this correct?
2. Is-it proper to eat chicken
with the fingers?
READER.
/. Yes; many people use a fork
to eat melons. especially honey
dew melons. And, indeed, I
think that is a very graceful
way to eat a melon.
2. No; it is distinctly incor-
rect, because it is untidy for the
diner and unpleasant for the
beholder.
