Excerpt from Good Things to Eat: Being a Collection of Recipes Which Have Passed the Crucial Test of Experience, They Are Therefore Presented With Absolute Confidence in Their Merits
The table is the touchstone of the gentleman; a man may hide his ignorance everywhere but at the table.
It is proper to stand behind your chair at the table until all guests are ready to be seated.
The napkin should not be spread out to its full size, but placed double across the lap.
Soup should be taken into the mouth noiselessly, from the side of the spoon, never from the point.
Do not place knife or fork on the tablecloth, or With points resting on the edge of the plate during a meal, but keep them on the plate.
When a plate is passed for a second helping, the knife and fork should be placed side by side at the right, on the plate.
