Tips From Emily Post
!• /nen eating in a res
taurant v/hat shoula you do
v;it}i your wraps?
Ans. "In a . fashion&'ble
restaurant a man leaves
his hat and. coat in the
coat room or- checks the:n
at the entrance, a woman
leaves her v/rap in the
di’essing-room—or, if she
prefers, she goes into the
dinirig-room and sits dovni
at the table as she is.
She then merely thro.vc the
shoulders of her v;rap baok
of her, over her chair.
2. 'Tlaen should a boy ask
for a dance?
Ans. "If a girl is sit
ting in another room or
alone v/ith a man, a second
one should not interrupt
or ask her to dance. If
she is sitting in a group,
he can go up and ask her,
•'i/on't you v/ant to dance
some of this?’ She ' then
either refuses or accepts.
To refuse to dance v/ith
one man and then immediate
ly dance .'/ith another is
an open offront to the
first one."
3. Hov/ should you remove
bones and seeds from your
mouth ’/hen eating?
iuas. "Pish bones or
other accidental bonas are
taken bet'veen fingers and
the thumb and remo’/ed be-
t:./een 'compressed lips.
Seeas must be eaten quite
bare and clean in the
mouth and dropped into the
cupped fist and then into
the plate."
4. Should you shake hands
when introduced to a stran
ger?
Ai:s. '*“flien gentlemen
are introduced to each
other, they al.^ays shake
hands, ’"/hen a gentleman is
introduced to a lady, she
ge’ne ra 1 ly me re 1 y sm i 1 e s
and says, 'Ho;/ do you do5'
Strictly speaking, it is
her place to of^'er her
hand or not, r-.s she choos
es; but if he puts out his
hand, she of course gives
him hers, iiothing could be
more ill-bred than to
treat any spontaneous
friendl i'ne ss curt ly •"
7. Is it ruc'.e to -.'ipe off
the tt.blevrare 'rith a nap
kin?
Ans. "Sometimes' in res
taurants one sees people
,/iping !:nives, forks, and
spoons on their napkins.
This is an act insulting
to any reputable pro.prie-
tor and inexcusable.'*
