,room ,business is the most attractive  
and profitable way for a woman  to earn 
money in her own home4 ,though married  
you will find you can buy  many things  
for yourself and family that you could  
not buy if you did  not have a business 
of your own4    ,i hope with my         
following instruction you will have a   
profitable  business4      ,yours for   
success1      7,mrs47 ,ida ,lee ,cary4  
,care of ,tea ,room      ,you may select
 any pleasant room in your house to use 
for ,tea ,room4  ,have the room well    
aired every morning and free from dust1 
you may use  one large table or two or  
three small tables that seat four to a  
table4  ,if a tablecloth is used in     
place of doilies1 first lay the silent  
cloth  without a crease or wrinkle4     

,then lay the linen cloth perfectly     
smooth  and even and in the center of   
your table place a linen centerpiece    
with  a vase of flowers or a small table
 fern4    ,if you use candlesticks place
 them on each side of the flowers1 place
  chairs around the table at each place4
 ,now you are ready to set your  table1 
the silver forks at the left of the     
plate and knife and spoons  at the right
 of the plate and lay them in the order 
they are to be  used1 the first one to  
be used on the outside4 ,place a folded 
napkin  at the left of the plate1 a     
bread and butter plate at the tips of   
the  forks with butter spreader laid    
across the plate4 ,near the top of each 
plate individual pepper and salt        
cellars1 at the right of each plate     
place a glass for water1 and sugar bowl 
and cream pitcher at each end  of the   
table4    ,food should be passed at the 
left and placed at the right4 ,when     
coffee  and tea is served1 place a cup  
at the right of each person4    ,when   

clearing off the table1 food must be    
first removed1 then the  soiled dishes1 
glass1 silver1 then crumb4 ,everything  
relating to one  course must be removed 
before serving another course4 ,soiled  
plates  and dishes should be removed    
from the right4 ,glasses for water must 
be  kept filled4    ,bread must be      
freshly cut4    ,water must be fresh and
 cold4    ,butter must not be soft and  
oily4    ,the sharp edge of knives must 
be turned toward the plate4 ,bowls of   
spoons and tines of forks must be turned
 up4    ,waiter or waitress is          
responsible for the heat of the dishes  
after they  come from the kitchen1 if   
not hot enough they must be sent back4  
,when serving fruit1 use for each person
 a fruit plate1 on which is a  fruit    
doily1 and finger bowl one-third full of
 warm water4 ,on the plate  at the right
 of the bowl lay a silver fruit knife1  
on the left of the  plate a fruit spoon4
    ,such things as mustard1 vinegar and
 olive oil cruets which may be  wanted1 

should be in readiness on the side-table
 or in the pantry4    ,i think it is a  
good idea to make a specialty of serving
 waffles4 ,i  found that my waffles     
pleased everyone4 ,if you advertise that
 you  are serving waffles with maple    
syrup1 chocolate or coffee1 ,i am sure  
you will have all the business you will 
be able to attend to4 ,waffle  receipt  
is in ,cook ,book under the head of     
,waffles and ,creamed ,chicken4  ,i also
 found my chocolate cake a great        
favorite with everyone4    ,with my book
 of receipts you should make a success  
of your ,tea ,room4    ,below ,i will   
give you a sample menu just to give you 
an idea of  arrangement1 but ,i will not
 quote prices4    ,if there are any     
questions you wish to ask me in regard  
to your ,tea  ,room1 write me and ,i    
will gladly answer them4      ,yours for
 success1      7,mrs47 ,ida ,lee ,cary4
