Does a man always light a woman’s cigarette first? I've heard that, when using a match, a man should light up first because of the initial sulphur taste from the match. A. The well-bred man will always light his woman companion’s cigarette first, and his male companion’s, too. If he wishes to avoid the sulphur taste, he can pause a second after striking the match. Q. How should one eat olives at the table? A. Unless a special fork or spoon is provided, one may take the olive with the fingers. Eat around the pit, then place the pit on the side of the plate. Q. When two men and two women are dining in a public place, at a square table, how should they be seated? A. The two women should be seated opposite each other. ac- | Lea (a meadow).
