If Lesson VI, entitled "Setting and Clearing the Table" as outlined in
the course on the Care of the Home has been given, this lesson may be
devoted to what to serve and how to serve it, or it may precede the
lesson on "Waiting on Table". The manner of serving may be demonstrated
in the next lesson, in connection with the course on the Care of the
Home.
Simple equipment for family service will be required, if the form of
serving is to be taken up. For class practice, a table for four may be
arranged. This will necessitate a table-cover, four dinner plates, four
bread-and-butter plates, four tumblers, four cups and saucers, four
knives, four forks, four teaspoons, four napkins, a platter, one serving
spoon, and one serving fork.
