=For Women.=--Guests as well as hostess should wear at a large luncheon
simply the best afternoon gown they possess. The hostess should wear no
hat; the guest a dressy one, with white or light gloves. In summer, a thin
dress of light silk, or organdie, a flower-trimmed hat, white gloves, thin
dress shoes, and a bright parasol are suitable.
=For Men.=--In winter, conventional afternoon costumes should be worn for
a luncheon. For a noon breakfast, the same. For an earlier breakfast, a
complete morning suit, with sack coat. With this, a colored shirt is
permissible; a four-in-hand tie, derby, morning gloves, and black shoes.
For summer luncheons and breakfasts, white duck or very light striped
flannel may be worn; tan or white Oxford ties, and a straw hat.
