Table of Contents

To set a table seems, perhaps, very easy, but to set it properly and tastily is not such an easy matter. The advice herewith given may prove advantageous to many.

Place the table in the centre of the dining-room, under the chandelier, and see to it that it is perfectly steady; that is to say, that there is no danger of its being shaken while the dinner is in progress. Should it not rest firmly, perhaps an old relic, in the shape of a Bland Dollar, could be made serviceable by placing it under one of the feet. See to it that there is plenty of space between each cover; it is annoying to come in contact with every move of your neighbor.
