hospital

Emily Post on tea party etiquette, circa 1922

Quoted: "Do come in for a cup of tea" This is Best Society's favorite form of invitation.

Quoted: As tea is the one meal of intimate conversation, a servant never comes to the room at tea-time unless rung for, to bring fresh water or additional china or food, or to take away used dishes.

Quoted: If the cake is very soft and sticky or filled with cream, small forks must be laid on the tea-table.

Quoted: The atmosphere of hospitality is something very intangible, and yet nothing is more actually felt—or missed. . . Introspective people who are fearful of others, fearful of themselves, are never successfully popular hosts or hostesses.

Quoted: They call her the "Miracle Baby.” Amelia Taylor was born after being in her mother's womb for just 22 weeks, less time than any other baby who survived. Miracles similar to Amillia's story happen all the time right here in Syracuse.
