Written by Walter Hoving, former chairman of Tiffany's of New York, it is a step-by-step introduction to all the basics, from the moment the meal begins ("It is customary for the young man to help the young lady on his right to be seated") to the time it ends ("Remember that a dinner party is not a funeral, nor has your hostess invited you because she thinks you are in dire need of food. You're there to be entertaining"). In addition to the essentials about silverware, service, and sociability, it includes many of the fine points, too—the correct way to hold a fish fork, how to eat an artichoke properly, and, best of all, how to be a gracious dining companion.

"Tiffany's Table Manners for Teenagers" was written by Walter Hoving, former chairman of the board of Tiffany & Co., with wispy, whimsical illustrations by Joe Eula. First published in 1961, the book was directed at teenagers simply because people begin to be invited to formal dinners when they are young and therefore find themselves in need of good table manners. But Mr. Hoving presents his version of good table manners simply, instructively, and with good humor for all ages. The text and illustrations are plain enough to be suitable for children. The book is only 95 pages long with, typically, a few sentences of etiquette advice and one black-and-white illustration per page. It describes dining as a guest in someone's home, but most of the etiquette would apply in restaurants as well.
"Tiffany's Table Manners" takes us through a formal meal in 6 chapters, with advice on using utensils and eating politely for each: "Let's Be Seated", "The Soup Course", "The Fish Course", "The Meat Course", "The Salad Course", and "The Dessert Course". Chapter 7, "Some Don'ts", warns the reader against common no-no's. Etiquette is debatable and changeable, of course. This book advocates eating with your left hand, in the European style, when using a fork and knife, claiming that shifting the fork from left to right hand repeatedly is "clumsy and awkward". I tend to agree, but many etiquette experts consider eating with the left hand to be affected or, worse, gluttonous. Mr. Hoving acknowledges that there are other systems of etiquette, but believes the one presented here is "attractive, graceful, and above all, natural." I think most readers will agree. "Tiffany's Table Manners for Teenagers" is a nice, straightforward reference for the whole family.
