S. are much the same as formal dinners anywhere in the world. But as most people in the U. S. have no servants, their dinner parties at home tend to be informal. Guests may sit sown at a table ,or, as many new small homes have no separate dining room or very small dining space, guests can also serve themselves and eat in the living room ,holding their plates or trays on their knees.
