STANDARD RULES
OF ETIQUETTE

Question: What is the function
Of butler at a formal dinner?
Answer: AS the guests enter the
room, the butler holds out the chair
for the mistress of the house. II
there are footmen enough the
chair of each lady is held out for
her, otherwise the gentleman who
takes her in to dinner helps her to
be seated. Where there are two
servants, the head one holds the
chair of the hostess and the second,
the chair on the right of the host.
In big house, the butler always
stands throughout meal back Of
the hostess chair except when CIV
| ing direction or, in pre-Volsteao
days, when pouring wine. He is
never supposed to leave the dining
room, nor to handle dish.
In a smaller house, he does every-
thing himself. If he has an assist
ant. a second man or parlour-maid,
he passes the principal dishes, and
| the assistant, the others.
