INTRODUCTIONS. Introductions to the hostess at
an "At Home" or reception by women
assisting hostess, to those who have been invited
to the entertainment by them, are not
recognized thereafter unless by mutual consent.
The hostess receiving in her own home
should offer her hand to all to whom she is
introduced.
The hostess introduces her immediate family
to all her guests. No formal permission
is necessary.
In the case of one woman desiring an introduction
to another, the hostess should be
asked to bring this about.
INTRODUCTIONS BY CHAPERONES. At entertainments
both the chaperone and her protege
should enter together, and the chaperone
should introduce her protege to the hostess.
WOMEN CALLING UPON. When calling formally
upon a hostess, a woman should leave a card,
whether the hostess was at home or not.
When a son enters society, his mother,
when calling, can leave his cards for him, and
invitations to entertainments will follow. If
it is impossible for him to leave cards for himself
she may continue to do so.
WOMEN LEAVING CARDS ON. When a mother
leaves her daughter's card, it is for the hostess
only.
