New Arrangement of the Dinner Table.

The Athenians of the fashionable world are at present interested In the suggestion of the triangular table for dinner parties. It is done by arranging three tables in a triangle. The host sits at the point of the triangle, with the two most distinguished female guests on his right, and .'eft hand. The hostess occupies the center of the base of the triangle, and has the distinguished men with her. The beauty ot this arrangement is that at large dinners the host and hostess are not entirely removed from the guests at the center of the table. As is usually the case, they are so far removed that they cannot keep an eye upon them and see that they are well served and are being amused. But with the triangular table every one faces them, is near enough for conversation to be possible and agreeable, and altogether the conversation is easier to start and to regulate.— The Table.
