1、 Dining CustomEvery land has itsown dining custom, and the United States is no exception. Americans feel thatthe first rule of being a polite guest is to be on time. If a person is invitedto dinner at 6:30, the hostess expects him to be there at 6:30 or not more thana few minutes after. Because she usually does her own cooking, she times themeal so that the coffee and meat will be at their best at the time she asks theguest to come. If he is late, the food will not be so good, and the hostesswill be disappointed. When the guest cannot come on time, he calls his host orhostess on the telephone, gives the reason, and tells at what time he thinks hecan come.As guests continueto arrive, the men in the group stand when a woman enters and remain standinguntil she has found a chair. A man always rises when he is being introduced toa woman. A woman does not rise when she is being introduced either to a man ora woman unless the woman is much older.When the guests sitdown at a dinner table, it is customary for the men to help the ladies bypushing their chairs under them.Even an Americanmay be confused by the number of knives, forks, and spoons beside his platewhen he sits down to a formal dinner. The rule is simple, however, use them inthe order in which they lie, beginning from the outside. Or watch the hostessand do what she does. The small fork on the outside on the left is for salad,which is often served with the soup. The spoon on the outside at the right isfor soup, and so on. Sometimes there is a separate little knife, called abutter spreader, on a small bread-and-butter plate at the left. As the bread ispassed, each guest puts his piece on the bread-and-butter plate.
