CXXXIII.
When all are seated, send a plate of soup to every one. Do not ask any one if they will be helped, as every one takes it, of course.
CXXXIV.
Always feed yourself with the fork; a knife is only used as a divider. Use a dessert spoon in eating tarts, puddings, curries, &c., &c.
CXXXV.
If what you are eating before the dessert has any liquid, sop the bread and then raise it to the mouth. For articles of the dessert having liquid, a spoon is usually provided.
CXXXVI.
In helping sauce or vegetables, place them upon the side of the viands on the plate.
CXXXVII.
If anything is sent you from the host or hostess, do not offer it to any other person; and when helped do not wait until others are served, but at once arrange your napkin, and proceed to the important business of the moment.
