...just-published book, Tiffany's Table Manners for Teen-Agers (94 pp.; Ives Washburn, Inc.; $3), Tiffany Board Chairman Walter Hoving offers comforting advice. "Be nonchalant," says he. If you choose the wrong fork or knife, don't fidget, keep eating. Sip soup from the side of the spoon or from the end-it makes no difference.
