When You Set the Table.

The question is often asked about the placing of silver. At the right of the plate and next to it the knife for the game; next the soup spoon and the fork for oysters. At the left of the plate is the large fork, the second size and the salad fork, with the napkin beyond if there is room, or it may be folded on the plate, and the dinner roll is enclosed in it Other knives, forks and spoons may be added as the meal progresses. Bread and butter plates are not used for dinner, but may be used for luncheon. In serving a meal a serving table is of great assistance to a maid, and is almost invaluable to the hostess, if she has no maid. If it Is placed at her leff*withln easy reach it may hold a large number of small dishes, plates, knives, forks, spoons and save the hostess from leaving her place at the table. When the dishes are passed by the maid a small silver tray covered with dainty doily Is used. ,
