Put back the chairs, and brush all crumbs from the floor.

Collect all untouched foods and store them away in clean dishes. Remove the napkins, sending the soiled ones to the wash, and putting away those clean enough to be used again, care being taken so to designate those reserved for future use that each person shall receive his own again.

Gather the silver, placing it, handles upward, in pitchers or other deep dishes of hot water.

Now in a deep basin placed upon a small tray, collect all the refuse, carefully emptying and scraping the dishes which have contained food as clean as possible, that no crumbs or particles of food be introduced into the dish-water.

Pile the dishes as fast as cleaned upon a second tray in readiness for washing. It saves much liability of breakage in transferring from the dining-room to the kitchen, if each kind of soiled dishes be packed by itself.

Wipe carefully, if not needing to be washed, and replenish all salts, granola-cups, and sugar-bowls before putting away.

Brush the table-cloth, fold in its creases, also the subcover if one be used, and lay both away until again needed.
