04:04Doesn't he?
04:05Well, a polite host and hostess
04:08Or even a date for that matter
04:10Always appear to enjoy themselves
04:14Let's stop right here
04:16Before we go on to dinner
04:18Let's see how things went with Jack
04:22Gives the hostess a chance to shake hands
04:24With the young lady first
04:26Waits for hostess to offer her hand to him
04:30Hmm, waits for ladies
04:32And more senior officer to be seated
04:36Very good
04:37Very good
04:45Now, that's more like it
04:48One at a time
04:54And if you want to compliment your hostess on the good hors d'oeuvre
04:58Do so
04:59That'll go over far better than just gobbling them all up
05:04Aha, there's the correct way to clean the fingers
05:08Perhaps not as tasty
05:09But still, the only way to do it
05:13Good manners
05:14A vital facet of a gentleman's character
05:18Such a man is considerate
05:20For example, introduces subjects of conversation
05:23That will be interesting to all the people present
05:25He's reasonable
05:26And he's thoughtful
05:28Suppose his companion doesn't know the company
05:31He would recognize a possible feeling of shyness
05:34And take care to draw her into the conversation
05:41Jack?
05:43Well, he may not be the center of attention that Charlie was
05:47But he certainly does seem to be more considerate
05:50More reasonable
05:51And more thoughtful
05:52And you know what?
05:54The party seems to be a bit more fun for everybody
05:58Okay, let's go back to Charlie
06:00See just how things went at dinner
06:09Nice going, Charlie
06:10You beat him sitting down again
06:12It must take a lot of practice to be that fast
06:19That's very cute
06:21And it'll keep your tie clean, too
06:23In case you have a leaky spoon
06:32Good point, Charlie
06:33That'll get their attention
06:35Now, who said fencing was a lost art?
06:41Bread
06:42Be sure to get just the one you want, Charlie
06:47Lots of butter
06:49Sure, you can get it easier with a dinner knife
06:52Than with that little old butter knife
06:54Who needs it?
06:55And why spoil a good conversation
06:58By stopping to chew and swallow?
07:06Back to that football game, huh?
07:08Well, the girls wouldn't be interested anyway
07:11So why bore them?
07:13Say, doesn't old Charlie look nice and comfortable?
07:18Now that's a bit of luck
07:20Solid cherry chair legs to rest the feet on
07:22Hardly shows the scratches at all
07:26It could happen to anybody, Charlie
07:29Charlie
07:30Charlie, don't hit the panic button
07:33Let her take care of it, Charles
07:37At Charlie
07:38The other people would like to go back to their eating
07:41Knock it off
07:43Charlie, stop it!
07:48Well, Charlie finally got over his little accident
07:51And before long, he was the center of attention again
07:54The self-appointed center, I suppose I should say
07:59Hmm, nothing like a good after-dinner cigarette, is there?
08:03Guess the hostess forgot to put an ashtray on the table
08:06Or, uh, maybe she thought nobody would smoke?
08:10Hmm?
08:11No, no harm done anyway
08:13Uh, what?
08:17Why, Charlie!
08:19Now, where's he going?
08:21You suppose he's leaving so soon?
08:25Well, I guess so
08:27But, uh, why not?
08:30Dinner is over
08:31And if he leaves early
08:33It's a chance to be alone with the young lady
08:37Okay, that's how dinner went with Charlie
08:40Now let's see how it goes with Jack
08:44He helps the hostess with her chair
08:47While Lieutenant Rand assists the young lady
08:49At a larger seating, you would assist the lady on your right
08:53The napkin
08:55In your lap
08:56Unless under the age of ten
08:59Who begins eating first?
09:02The hostess, of course
09:04And, uh, when you eat soup
09:06You dip the spoon in the bowl away from you
09:10Now, should clear soup be served
09:12In a cup or bowl with handles
09:14It is permissible to raise the cup
09:16And drink the soup
09:20By the way
09:20Note where the soup spoon is placed
09:23When not in use
09:25On the plate
09:26Not left in the bowl
09:28If you can't easily reach something on the table
09:31Without interfering with a fellow diner
09:33Ask for it
09:34And be sure to pass it on
09:37Your friends are as hungry as you are
09:44Bread and rolls are placed on the bread and butter plate
09:46And butter is taken with the butter service knife
09:49Not your dinner knife
09:51Or your own individual bread and butter knife
09:55Bread and rolls are broken in half
09:58And then into smaller pieces
10:00You butter each piece of bread before eating
10:06Say, this Jack is really on the ball, isn't he?
10:09Looks as though they're all having fun
10:12Maybe Jack's not the center of attention every minute
10:15But he's a good listener
10:16And he remembers to include all the people in his comments
10:22Obviously, the subject is one that interests all four people
10:24Without being too controversial
10:28Jack looks relaxed, too, don't you think?
10:31As he should be
10:33Without slouching down on the table with his elbows, of course
10:37And as the dinner moves on
10:39He's right in there pitching with the manners
10:44The serving fork and spoon are used just like other forks and spoons
10:49Fork in left hand
10:50Spoon in right
10:53Use the spoon to transfer the meat or vegetable to your plate
10:57The fork to hold it in place
11:07Now
11:08Your own silver is always positioned by your plate
11:12In the order of use
11:13And you begin at the outside
11:15And work in toward the plate
11:17As the various courses arrive
11:19This is true of an informal dinner such as this
11:23Or
11:24The most formal dinner party
11:26Where many courses may be served
11:29You still begin at the outside
11:31And work in toward the plate
11:34Another good rule is to observe
11:36Which piece of silver your hostess uses
11:38And follow suit
11:42One more point regarding the formal dinner
11:44A finger bowl will be served following the dinner
11:48Don't drink it
11:49Simply dip your fingers in it
11:51Then
11:52Dry them with your napkin
11:56I'm sure our friend would have no problems
11:59Because good manners are the same
12:01No matter what the occasion
12:04Okay
12:05Check the way the knife is held
12:07Handle in palm
12:09Index finger along the back of the blade
12:12When not in use
12:13It's placed across the upper half of the plate
12:16Or on the right side
12:18Blade facing in
12:19Never on the table
12:24The fork is used times down when cutting
12:28Then transferred to the right hand
12:31Times up
12:32For all other purposes
12:35When not being used
12:37It rests on the plate
12:38Just below the knife
12:40Or
12:40At the right side of the plate
12:44Say
12:45The young lady must be impressed
12:47By this display of good manners
12:49Especially after Charlie
12:52Uh oh
12:53Don't tell me he's going to spoil the whole thing
12:57No
12:59Don't believe he is
13:01A simple apology
13:03And any assistance you can give
13:04Is all that's required
13:06Or expected
13:07Here's an excellent example
13:09Of two other basic ingredients
13:11Of being a gentleman
13:11Or lady for that matter
13:14From the hostess
13:15Kindness
13:16An understanding that accidents will happen
13:19An earnest desire
13:20To set a guest at ease
13:22From Jack
13:24A sense of humor
13:25The ability to be generous with others
13:27And with himself
13:28If he makes the mistake
13:32When it is time to leave the table
13:34The hostess indicates saying
13:37Of course each gentleman assists the lady to his right
13:40As when being seated
13:43Time to go home
13:45No
13:46Not quite
13:47No matter how interesting your date may be
13:50It is polite and enjoyable
13:52To spend a few minutes chatting with your host and hostess
13:57A couple of points here
13:58Check the natkins
14:00Not folded up or crushed into a ball
14:02Just laid down naturally by the plate
14:06The other point
14:08No evidence of smoking
14:10Ashtrays or cigarettes
14:12This is not an oversight
14:14The hostess prefers that you don't smoke at the table
14:17So take the hint
14:20Don't
14:21If she wants you to smoke
14:23There will be ashtrays and cigarettes
14:25Probably in the living room
14:27So that's how dinner with Jack
14:29And the blonde young lady progressed
14:31And you've seen Charlie and the young lady
14:34In the same situation
14:35Well
14:36Who got the girl?
14:38Charlie?
14:40Let's see
14:43How about going to the movies with me tomorrow night?
14:45I'm sorry Charlie
14:46I'm busy
14:47Okay
14:48Next Saturday night
14:49Oh I already have a date then too
14:51Well
14:52Maybe some other time then
14:53Okay?
14:53Sure
14:54Maybe some other time
14:55Good night
15:01Jack?
15:02Well
15:03He wrote his thank you note
15:05The proper thing to do
15:07And also because
15:08It was a special night
15:10For him
15:21Why did Jack get the girl?
15:23Oh
15:24You know
15:25You know
15:26Lons prefer gentlemen
15:28And so does everybody else
15:30And so does everybody else
15:32And so does everybody else
15:37And so does everybody else
15:37And so does everybody else
15:37And so does everybody else
