Kiss, wedding.  The kiss in the wedding ceremony
       is being done away with, especially at church
       weddings.  Only the bride’s parents and her
       most intimate friends should kiss her, and
       for others to do so is no longer good form.

Knife and fork.  The knife is always held in the
       right hand, and is only used for cutting the
       food.  The fork is used not only in eating
       fish, meat, vegetables, and made dishes, but
       also ices, frozen puddings, melons, salads,
       oysters, clams, lobsters, and terrapin.

The knife should never be used to carry
food to the mouth.

         See also spoon.
