  • two soups
  • two fish

Directions

1

Always change knives and forks, or spoons with plates. As before stated it is well to start with two or three relays of implements by the plates.

2

Don't have over two vegetables with a course. Let them be offered to- gether on the same waiter. At a large dinner you can have two varieties ot the same course, i. e., two soups, two fish, two meats, etc., letting the waiter offer the guest a plate of each at the same time, the guest choosing between them.

3

Everybody is always out of bread ; prevent it if you can.

4

One good waiter is worth much more than two poor ones.

5

Two hours is long enough to serve any dinner that Christians ought to eat ; three hours and a half is too long.

6

The host goes in first with the lady whom he seats at his right. The hostess goes in last with the gentleman whom she places at her right.

7

The worst torture that survives the inquisition is a had formal dinner. A worse torture than any known to the inquisition is any formal dinner (the better the dinner, the worse the torture) inefficiently served.
