A Class Act

Etiquette School of Frisco

Yes, you’re allowed to eat asparagus with your hands.

But that doesn’t mean you should extend the practice to everything on the table.

If such niceties eluded you at that last dinner party (the gasps of horror tipped you off), you should pay a visit (or several) to The Etiquette School of Frisco (yes, Frisco).

Marsha Horne, resident maven of proper behavior, conducts etiquette and table manners classes for toddlers, teens, wedding parties, and even the average adult in need of some gentle reminders (like how to sit gracefully and when to use the small spoon) — ideal for even the staunchest of city types.

In her weekly classes she addresses topics such as appropriate table conversation, avoiding wardrobe malfunctions, and even telephone and correspondence etiquette. Or, if you’re in need of a serious overhaul, you can opt for private sessions.

After a few lessons, your errant table manners will be gone.

Just don’t count on them being forgotten.
