E TIQ U E T By MISS FLO Dear Miss Flo: When no finger bowl is served after a fruit course is it permissible for one to dip the fin gers into the water glass and dry with the napkin? I have seen this done n any times in restaurants, and it al ways strikes me as being rather crude. D. M. * * * You are quite right. It iu very crude indeed to jdip the fingers into the water glass. If no finger bowl is served—the diner must get along without it. Dear Miss Flo: When one is wear ing a suit with an overblouse, may the coat be removed while dining? Should children be taught to call the household servants Miss or Mrs., or by their first names? Thank you. C. D. * * * The suit coat should never be re moved except in the home or the of fice. It is customary for the chil dren to call the servants by their first names. Dear Miss Flo: When a gentleman occupying a double seat alone sees a woman with an escort enter the car and knows that they will have to oc cupy separate seats, is it correct for him to offer to change seats with the gentleman, in order that the lady and gentleman may sit together? I did so recently, and I received such a look of surprise that I am still won dering whether or not I committed a breach against etiquette. R. D. * * * It was the proper—and the cottrte- cus thing—for you to do. I’m sure tley both appreciated it. Probably Hie only reason they looked surprised was because such action is not common. Dear Miss Flo: It is proper for a girl to assist her escort with his over- eoat? When a fork or other part of the table service is dropped, should the person make apologies to the hos tess? Should the spoon be left in the fruit—such as oranges or grape fruit—after use? H. D. • * * The lady should never assist her es cort with his overcoat. No apologies should be made when a fork or other table service is dropped—the accident should he entirely ignored. The fruit spoon must not be left in the fruit.
