CHAPTER
XIII.
TABLE
ETIQUETTE.
In
order
to
appear
perfectly
well-bred
at
table
when
in
company,
or
in
public,
as
at
a
hotel,
you
must
pay
attention,
three
times
a
day,
to
the
points
of
table
etiquette.
If
you
neglect
these
little
details
at
home
and
in
private,
they
will
be
performed
awkwardly
and
with
an
air
of
restraint
when
you
are
in
company.
By
making
them
habitual,
they
will
become
natural,
and
appear
easily,
and
sit
gracefully
upon
you.
Even
when
eating
entirely
alone,
observe
these
little
details,
thus
making
the
most
finished
and
elegant
manners
perfectly
familiar,
and
thus
avoiding
the
stiff,
awkward
air
you
will
wear
if
you
keep
your
politeness
only
for
company,
when
you
will
be
constantly
apprehensive
of
doing
wrong.
At
breakfast
or
tea,
if
your
seat
is
at
the
head
of
the
table,
you
must,
before
taking
anything
upon
your
own
plate,
fill
a
cup
for
each
one
of
the
family,
and
pass
them
round,
being
careful
to
suit
each
one
in
the
preparation
of
the
cup,
that
none
may
return
to
you
for
more
tea,
water,
sugar,
or
milk.
If
you
have
a
visitor,
pass
the
cup
with
the
tea
or
coffee
alone
in
it,
and
hand
with
the
cup
the
sugar
bowl
and
cream
pitcher,
that
these
may
be
added
in
the
quantity
preferred.
After
all
the
cups
have
been
filled
and
passed
round,
you
may
take
the
bread,
butter,
and
other
food
upon
your
own
plate.
Train
your
children,
so
that
they
will
pass
these
things
to
you
as
soon
as
they
see
you
are
ready
to
receive
them.
