To get on with the easy routines:
At the table, the girl is the first

that gives the best view of the

Usually the waiter pulls out her
chair, helps her into it.
Meanwhile, the boy stands by

to offer any help that might be

he sits.
He invites her to order first.
She chooses something of average

host, who instructs the waiter.
The girl is the first to suggest

BY Kite Turmoil

Are you too self-conscious about
your restaurant manners to enjoy
eating out? Don't be! Check ur
on the 'know-what" polish
your poise for dates and parties
during the holidays.
To review current etiquette for
restaurants and hotels let's look
over rules for popular procedure
recommended to young people by
Jean Stinchfeld. She directs So
cial activities for a leading hotel
in Los Angeles.
For a luncheon party:
Arrive at the exact time, usually
/ o'clock. If in doubt about where
to meet the group in large
place, ask. No hostess wants to
leave guests to hunt for late or
lost you.
From start to finish take your
time. Tired or busy as you might
be from the holiday rush, slow
down enough to relax and act
glad to be there. Don't spoil the
air of carefree leisure that gives
a luncheon party a personality
all of it's own. Wait for the hostess
to signal for the march to the
table. Let the honored guest be
the first seated. Don't wolf rolls
or relishes before eating is sup
posed to begin. For starting cue
watch for your hostess to pick up
the silver you are supposed to use
first.
