Formal and Informal Dinners
Serving the Formal Dinner:
"The entire dinner may be served from the butler's pantry, having each course arranged on individual plates and placed by
the waitress on the right of each guest, with the right hand, and anything which is to be served with the course passed on
a tray at the left and low enough and sufficiently near to the guest to be easily taken with the right hand, or each dish
may be so arranged on a platter, or serving dish on a tray, that the guest may easily serve himself." ~from New Dinners,
ca. 1910.
