(Miss Hoyt will answer in this column all questions on matters of etiquette addressed to her in care of this paper. If a personal answer is desired enclose a 2-cent stamp.) Housewife: When the number of people seated at the table Is small, the f: ladles may be served first, beginning , either with the hostess, or with the JhKs lady at the host's right. When, how- ever, there are twelve to fourteen per- mc sons, this order of service might prove 7K awkward, especially if there is only lib one servant: so the better plan in such jJE a case would be to serve the ladles JIB and gentlemen In the order In which ;J they aro seated. The hostess should rll not speak to the servant during the ijl dinner. If she Is a perfect hostess, she J will have a perfect servant, and no II exchange of words will be necessary. Jj Edith: You should not go to tho 'jll station to meet the young man who !! is coming to see you. If some malo i ll member of your family cannot meet if him, he must find his wya to your l home alone.
