The Informal Luncheon
Like the Informal Dinner except that the roasts are omitted.
When luncheon is announced, the first course may be on the table, and the dishes required for the remaining courses arranged on the side table.
Seldom more than three courses are served.
Tea, coffee, or cocoa are served throughout the meal.
