HOW TO SET A TABLE AND SERVE A MEAL
Lay the silver straight, placing knives with sharp
edges towards the plate; bowls of spoons and tines
of forks should be turned up. All silver is laid in
the order in which it is to be used, starting from the
outside, forks at the left and knives and spoons at
the right. Water glasses at the right of plate, bread
and butter plates and napkins at the left. Carvers
and silver for serving should be laid out on a side
table to be placed on table as .needed. Also dessert
plates.
In serving, remember plates should be handed
and removed from the right side. Dishes passed
are offered at the left side.
Never reach across in front of a person for any
purpose.
