Distracting diner

occasion for coupie

DEAR MiSS MANNERS —
My husband and I recently
accepted a friend’s invita-
tion to sup at a highly ac-
claimed French restaurant.
After greeting our friend
and his date, who had al-
ready been seated, we
gasped as we focused on the
next table.

The couple there seemed inno-
cent enough until we spotted the
young woman’s breasts. She was
seated across from ber date, 20 we
had the side view.

Without straining, one could see
down to her navel. At times she
would try #2 caver up, because of
the obvious chatter from neigbor-
ing tables. At other tizaes she
would sit back and arch her back,
so all was shown. She knew what
she was doing.

Our friends sat with their backs
to her but were aware of the situa-
tion. While we were conversing

with them, the woman’s breasts
were in full view.

An otherwise worderful evening
should zo‘ be subjected to this sort
of exposure. What, if anything,
could have been done to change
the situation? Should we have just
sat there aad pretended she was
ouiy a loud barking dog?

GENTLE READER — Miss
Manners supposes you could have
thrown a tablecloth over her and
made a citizen's arrest for vio-

lation of public decency.

But, why bother? The offence
was not comparable to that of a
barking dog; a sight at a neighbor-
ing table is more easily avoided
than a loud noise emanating from
it. It is not polite to stare at other
diners, for whatever reason.

However, if you could not take
your eyes off this sight, you could
have solved the problem by quietly
asking to change tables.
