before or after taking a drink. Women should avoidsoiling the napkins with lipstick, which is oftendifficult to remove.

The fork is held incorrectly more often than any other pieceof silver.

When using the knife and fork together, as in cutting meat,the fork is held in the left hand so that the end of the

handle touches the center of the palm of the hand, and thehandle is grasped with the thumb and the first and secondfingers, the first finger pointing toward the prongs. To getthe correct idea, grasp the fork handle (prongs down) as if

it were a hammer; then slide the first finger down the backof the handle; do not let the finger extend along theprongs. Never hold the fork at right angles with the plate.Don't use the broomstick grip.
