A hostess writes: I'm rather
confused about receiving my
guests in a restaurant. Lately
you said that a hostess receives
outside the door to the dining
room and after all her guests have
arrived they all go to the table
together. It seems unfair to me
to expect early comers to stand
around waiting for all the guests
as well as obstructing the pas
sageway into the dining room.
Couldn't they be sent in to the
table as they arrive, the hostess
alone waiting outsider"
To send the guests into the
dining room a few at a time would
be very strange. Correctly they
have to wait until all have ar
rived. If, however, a single guest
is very late, it is quite proper
that the hostess lead the way to
the table and let the late one
join them when she comes!
