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. '
