DEAR MISS MANNERS: I have a niece who insists you have not addressed the issue of where to place cellphones in a formal table setting.
She has a strong opinion that when seated, one should remove the napkin to one’s lap and place the cellphone where the napkin was set.
GENTLE READER: Indeed, Miss Manners has addressed the issue of where to place cellphones at any table setting, formal or not. It is with the wraps.
