    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.
