Slow eater wins etiquette battle

DEAR MISS MANNERS—I
maintain that at a really fine
restaurant, the waiter/
waitress will wait until
everyone at the table has
finished a course before
removing the dishes for that
course.

If the dishes are removed

as each person finishes, the
slower eaters are put in an
awkward position, feeling
that they ure keeping the
others waiting and that they
must hurry.

My husband contends that
as a fast eater, he would
rather look at a clean table

than his dirty dishes while he
walts, We have been arguing
over this for all our married
life (almost 11 years) but
have agreed that your word
will be the final one.

GENTLE READER—~Miss
Manners agrees with you,
but hesitates to say so for

miss manners

fear of removing from the
table a conversation piece of
11 years’ duration. What
will your husband have to
chew over now, while you're
finishing dinner?

DEAR MISS MANNERS —
What is the proper mailing
address for the non-tradi-
tional household?

There is John Jones and
Mary Smith, elderly widow-
ed brother and sister who

now make their home
together. Then there is Betly
Brown, widow, and her
daughter, Greta Green,
divorcee, and Greta's
daughter by her first mar-
riage, Witney White, college
student. And the list goes
on.

We considered wedding
invitations addressed to
“Occupant’® or “To Whom
It May Concern,’ but

taste.

What about a gift that is
meant for the whole family,
such us a basket of fruit or
flowers? Do we send an
orange to Betty, an apple to
Greta, etc., or the basket to
one with a note admonishing
her to share like a nice girl?
GENTLE READER — Par-
don Miss Manners’ titter,
but do you consider blood
