Don't lie back in your chair or place your elbows on the table.
Don't seat yourself until all the ladies are seated.
Don't sit sideways, but straight to the table.
Don't use your napkin as a bib. Let it fall across your lap.
Don't bend your head for each mouthful. Sit erect.
Don't cut your bread. Break it off.
Don't use your knife to carry food to your mouth.
Don't introduce your spoon point first—but sideways—into your mouth.
Don't speak with your mouth full or even half full.
