I have question to ask regard
ing table etiquette What should
be done acith the spoon aohen soup
is eaten?
If the soup was served in
plate, the spoon is laid into the
plate, handle to right. If the
soup is served in one of the wide,
shallow bowls, so common in peas
ant ware, the spoon may likewise
be placed in the bowl when the
soup is eaten. But if the soup is
served in a cup, or in small
bowl no bigger than cup, then
the spoon goes into the saucer or
plate on which the cup is placed,
exactly as a teaspoon would go
if the soup were tea or coffee.
You will see that in most of these
new rules of table etiquette the
final decision depends upon your
own good judgment.
