Never
examine
minutely
the
food
before
you.
You
insult
your
hostess
by
such
a
proceeding,
as
it
looks
as
if
you
feared
to
find
something
upon
the
plate
that
should
not
be
there.
If
you
find
a
worm
on
opening
a
nut,
or
in
any
of
the
fruit,
hand
your
plate
quietly,
and
without
remark,
to
the
waiter,
and
request
him
to
bring
you
a
clean
one.
Do
not
let
others
perceive
the
movement,
or
the
cause
of
it,
if
you
can
avoid
so
doing.
Never
make
a
noise
in
eating.
To
munch
or
smack
the
lips
are
vulgar
faults.
Sit
quietly
at
table,
avoid
stiffness,
but,
at
the
same
time,
be
careful
that
you
do
not
annoy
others
by
your
restlessness.
Do
not
eat
so
fast
as
to
be
done
long
before
others,
nor
so
slowly
as
to
keep
them
waiting.
When
the
finger-glasses
are
passed
round,
dip
the
ends
of
your
fingers
into
them,
and
wipe
them
upon
your
napkin;
then
do
not
fold
your
napkin,
but
place
it
beside
your
plate
upon
the
table.
To
carry
away
fruit
or
bonbons
from
the
table
is
a
sign
of
low
breeding.
Rise
with
the
other
ladies
when
your
hostess
gives
the
signal.
After
returning
to
the
parlor,
remain
in
the
house
at
least
an
hour
after
dinner
is
over.
If
you
have
another
engagement
in
the
evening,
you
may
then
take
your
leave,
but
not
before.
You
will
insult
your
hostess
by
leaving
sooner,
as
it
appears
that
you
came
only
for
the
dinner,
and
that
being
over,
your
interest
in
the
house,
for
the
time,
has
ceased.
It
is
only
beggars
who
"eat
and
run!"
