The Ladies' Book of Etiquette, and Manual of Politeness

If
you
are
yourself
at
the
side
of
the
table,
pass
the
bread,
butter,
etc.,
to
the
lady
at
the
head,
when
you
see
that
she
has
sent
the
cups
from
the
waiter
before
her,
to
those
seated
at
the
table.
If
you
occupy
the
place
of
head
of
the
table,
you
must
watch
the
cups,
offer
to
fill
them
when
empty,
and
also
see
that
each
one
of
the
family
is
well
helped
to
the
other
articles
upon
the
table.
Avoid
making
any
noise
in
eating,
even
if
each
meal
is
eaten
in
solitary
state.
It
is
a
disgusting
habit,
and
one
not
easily
cured
if
once
contracted,
to
make
any
noise
with
the
lips
when
eating.
Never
put
large
pieces
of
food
into
your
mouth.
Eat
slowly,
and
cut
your
food
into
small
pieces
before
putting
it
into
your
mouth.
Use
your
fork,
or
spoon,
never
your
knife,
to
put
your
food
into
your
mouth.
At
dinner,
hold
in
your
left
hand
a
piece
of
bread,
and
raise
your
meat
or
vegetables
with
the
fork,
holding
the
bread
to
prevent
the
pieces
slipping
from
the
plate.
If
you
are
asked
at
table
what
part
of
the
meat
you
prefer,
name
your
favorite
piece,
but
do
not
give
such
information
unless
asked
to
do
so.
To
point
out
any
especial
part
of
a
dish,
and
ask
for
it,
is
ill-bred.
To
answer,
when
asked
to
select
a
part,
that
"it
is
a
matter
of
indifference,"
or,
"I
can
eat
any
part,"
is
annoying
to
the
carver,
as
he
cares
less
than
yourself
certainly,
and
would
prefer
to
give
you
the
piece
you
really
like
best.
