Every land has its own dining custom, and the United States is no exception. Americans feel that the first rule of being a polite guest is to be on time.

If he is late, the food will not be so good, and the hostess will be disappointed. When the guest can not come on time, he calls his host or hostess on the telephone, gives the reason, and tells at what time he thinks he can come
