State College Hints TABLE ETIQUETE Do you panic at the thought of setting a table for a party dinner—or even going to one and not knowing whi c h fork to use? There’s no need to worry. Tabic setting rules are sensible and simple. Remem ber it’s good etiquette to follow your hostess’ lead. Don’t start to eat until she does and then use the same piece of silver. The host sits at one en<J of the table, the hostess at the other end. A lady guest of honor is seated at her host’s right; a gentJx man guest of honor at his hostess’ right. PLACING SILVER—To set the table, use only pieces of silver necessary for the meal. Place sil ver about one inch from the edge of tabic, with piece:-' to be used first on outside. Knives and spoons go to the right of plate, forks to the left. TABLE LINENS—FoId napkins square or rectangular and place to the left of forks. Tablecloth should overhand the table 10 to 15 inches and should be exactly centered on table. If you use place mats instead of a tablecloth, they should be set one inch in from the edge of the table, GLASSWARE AND CHINA -- Glasses are placed to the right of each place setting and directly a bove the knives. Individual salts and peppers should be placed a bove the plate, or between two settings—the same goes to ash trays if they are used. Plate the salad plate to the left of forks and one inch in from table edge. If bread and butter plates are used, place them just above the forks. Fayetteville St. Church News By MRS.
