PREFACE

The papers entitled “The Expert Waitress” are intended rather as aworking model than as a set of rules from which there is no appeal. Itis recognized that tastes and opinions vary as much as do the variousdining-rooms in which they are expressed. In writing these papers, oneidea has been kept in mind: No rule has been laid down that has not agood reason for its existence.

Some things, desirable in themselves, have been omitted because theyare not possible to one pair of hands and feet, even when guided by awell-regulated brain.
