Etiquette Column Michelle-Marie Heinemann is an Etiquette Expert and Doyenne of a thousand exclusive parties.

Mrs. Heinemann comes to us from New York City answering those questions everybody needs to know!

Dear Mrs. Heinemann, While dining at our private club recently, I noticed a gentleman at the adjacent table take a tooth pick from his dinner jacket and pick his teeth ferociously.

While I am not one to stare I quickly turned away.

Literally five minutes had passed and I glanced over and he was still cleaning his teeth with what was left of the stubby toothpick. It was revolting to watch, and listen to I might add, is this not something one should do in private?

Lauren B. Palm Beach Dear Lauren, Etiquette is indeed the toothpicks enemy! As my son would say....C’est degoutant!! I agree with him completely as nobody wants to watch another person extract food from their teeth....how vulgar, but more so, completely unacceptable. This is an extremely private affair and should take place in the bathroom, or a place in utter solitude. Toothpicks are archaic and usually found in roadside dinners, I imagine this is why your fellow club member smuggled one in.

Never use a toothpick in public, and certainly not at the table. Excuse yourself and take care of this in a discreet manner.

Yours Truly, Mrs. Heinemann

for a cocktail party held at the beautiful home of Lewis and Peggy Wheeler. Lew and Peggy were married March 30th of last year at Mar-a-Lago and have since been enjoying almost a year of travel and entertaining. Their Oceanside home which is classically decorated with a fine art collection was built by Peggy and designed specifically as a gallery for this collection. After the beautiful and elegant wedding at Mar-a-Largo, the year included passions that they both enjoy. The couple left for St. Barths on their honeymoon and Peggy, as a former travel writer and television talk show host, (she is also a real estate developer and has a company that designs exceptional large diamond jewelry), always looks for quaint beautiful out of the norm accommodations and restaurants. The summer also found them hosting over 300 guests in their lake home in Maryland between family, friends and charity events.

Besides supporting the many social charities, this season will find them skiing at their residence in Aspen as well as a quick trip to the Caribbean and returning to entertain additional family and friends in their beach home in Hutchinson Island. “A wine trip might be added to the schedule,” said Peggy since Lew enjoys collecting and serving fine wines!

There are many reasons to celebrate Miami City Ballet’s 28th season of dance and the Palm Beach patrons who showed their support as new Artistic Director Lourdes Lopez marked her inaugural season of programming.

The beloved dance company opened the 2013/14 season at Kravis Center in October and has premiered four rousing works new to South Florida audiences. Performance highlights included the Company premiere of Christopher Wheeldon’s ground-breaking work, “Polyphonia,” the emotionally evocative “Jardi Tancat,” by famed Spanish choreographer Nacho Duato, a rarely seen, boldly modern “Episodes” by George Balanchine and the hotly anticipated, “West Side Story Suite” (Jerome Robbins) that showcased the acting and singing talents of MCB dancers -- which received a standing ovation when it debuted at Kravis Center on February 28.

Palm Beach Theater Guild - Annual Party and Show “Singing For Sailors and Soldiers” For its annual party and show, the Palm Beach Theater Guild staged “Singing for Sailors and Soldiers,” a cabaret that asked the audience to imagine a performance for troops by Hollywood celebrities in Palm Beach. The event took place at 264 The Grill on Tuesday, February 25, and featured cocktails, a three-course dinner and hit songs sung by a cast that included pianist Confrey Phillips, Anne Marie Haymes, Mia Matthews, Jo Ann Pflug, Adele Zin and Palm Beach troupers Debbie Daley, Herbert Gould, Alan Heyman, David Lucey, Sonia Reese, Douglas Rill and Kristi Witker. The show was written and directed by multiple-Emmy winner Paul Noble, with art work and Palm Beach historical research by Pat Crowley.

On April 8 at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, the Palm Beach Theater Guild will present its opera-themed cocktail party and performances of selected, beloved arias in “A Night in Florence with the Florentine Camerata,” an evening based on the group of gentry, composers, writers and literati who met in a noble house in Renaissance Florence to talk about music and drama and, by 1600, invented the art form of opera.

Call 561-818-0170 or visit the Guild’s website at www.pbtheaterguild.org for information and reservations.
