5) Remember,--bobbing and wriggling are taboo. Let the spring come from
the ankles and the knees. Imitate the grace of the swallow.
REFRESHMENTS AT PARTIES
_Socrates said, "Bad men live that they may eat and drink, whereas
good men eat and drink that they may live."_
--Plutarch.
1) Keep your refreshments simple and inexpensive. After you are better
acquainted, omit them frequently.
2) Boys, you should be alert to help serve, but use your judgment; don't
go off in a group to enjoy yourselves in the business of serving or
eating.
3) Avoid dropping crumbs on the floor or scattering them over the
serving tables. Avoid placing anything hot or moist on a surface that
may be disfigured by it.
4) Pay special attention to any who seem shy or afraid to mingle with
the other guests. See that everybody has a good time.
5) Help clean up at once, boys, what should be cleaned up, and leave the
room you use in perfect order. Don't walk off and let the girls do it
all. Make yourselves useful until the work is finished.
TABLE MANNERS
_Some hae meat and canna eat,
And some would eat that want it;
But we hae meat, and we can eat,
Sae let the Lord be thankit._
--Burns.
1) Do you know that table manners proclaim at once your social training?
2) Boys, at a dining table, draw back the chair for the girl or the
woman next to you, push it under her as she sits down, and then take
your own seat.
