The dif- ficulty of knowing what to do with people after dinner does not apply after lunch; they will take then- selves off as a matter of course. Also the arranganent of the meal is much simpler. People do not, as ja rule, expect anything elaborate in the summer. The people who live to eat are nowadays in a minority. Some egg dish, salmon, a cutlet. fruit, or a sweet, and one of the white wines neet the occasion.
