The Housewife's Blue Book #250449

Do not starch either table cloth or napkins, they must fall in soft smooth folds from the edge of the table. Knives and forks to be handsome must be of medium size, and if the purse permits, have a set for each course. It is also necessary to have two, better three, carving sets, two large and one small. The large one will be used for roasts and turkey; the second size for fowls; the smallest for steaks and birds.
