"At my initial appearance at a Swedish home dinner," writes Isaac F. Marcosson in the ' ' Saturday Evening Post," I learned about an old Swedish custom. Directly we sat down the host made a speech of welcome to the guests. As the meal got under way, someoiie who sat nearby leaned . over and said to me: "You will have to make a speech at the end of the dinner, so be prepared." Both the host's welcome and the chief guest's reply are formalities from which there is no deviation."
