FUNERALS.
When a death occurs in the house all matters should at once be placed in
charge of a relative or a friend of the family. The family itself should
be kept away from every one as much as possible, and none of the sad
details left to them. They should not be seen until the day of the
funeral. Front windows should be shut, blinds and shades pulled down,
and the outer or storm door of the house closed. A servant is stationed
in the hall near the door, as on reception days, to receive the cards of
persons calling. All acquaintances who have been entertained at the
house leave cards in person, others may mail them. Only intimate friends
of the family are admitted to the house.
Should you send flowers, do not purchase or order any set designs. They
are hideous--remind one of the tenement funerals, and are strikingly
inappropriate. A bunch of white roses or of violets is a beautiful
offering for a young woman, or two palms crossed, with violets or lilies
of the valley attached, for a man or an elderly person. These should be
accompanied by your card. If you have been an intimate friend, a few
words written--a short note of condolence--would not be amiss. To all of
these notes, and in acknowledgment of these offerings, one of the family
nearest the deceased in relationship should respond by sending their
card with the words, "Thank you for your kind sympathy," or something of
that sort, written upon it.
As a rule, when the deceased is a young man who belongs to several clubs
or who has a numerous acquaintance, it is better to have the funeral
from a church. Pallbearers are chosen from among his intimate friends; a
relative never acts as pallbearer. It is not customary for any except
the nearest relatives to go to the cemetery. Ladies of the family do not
accompany the remains to the cemetery, and they frequently do not attend
the funeral services at the church if the deceased is a man.
If the funeral services are held at the house the relatives and intimate
friends are invited into the back parlor, dining room, or upstairs, and
make their appearance only when the services begin. The undertaker
attends to seating people, arranging the rooms, etc.
There is only one proper dress for a man to wear at a funeral. It should
consist of black frock coat, dark trousers, dark scarf and gloves (gray
or dark tan, but not black, unless you are a relative), and top hat.
Should you be a relative or a pallbearer, wear a black weed on your hat.
As to periods of mourning, there seems to be some little difference of
opinion in New York. Ward McAllister treated the subject in quite an
exhaustive manner, advocating short mourning terms even for the nearest
relatives. For a wife eighteen months is considered the proper thing;
for a parent, twelve to eighteen months, sometimes two years; for a
brother or a sister, one year; and for a grandparent, six months. A
maternal or paternal uncle or aunt is entitled to about two months or
less, according to the intimacy which has existed between the families.
Seclusion from society is generally consonant with mourning for near
relatives. However, people now go to the theater and small dinners and
teas after nine months of mourning for the very nearest relatives.
It is not necessary for a man to shroud himself in black. A silk hat
with a crape band nearly to the top should be worn by widowers during
the first year of their widowerhood; but black shirt studs, black sleeve
buttons, handkerchiefs bordered with black, and the other abominations
in which the grief-stricken Frenchman arrays himself are not tolerated
in this country. In deep mourning one can wear black ties and black
gloves, but a white linen tie in summer is permissible. I do not
advocate the use of black scarf pins. A black band on the sleeve of a
gray suit is also another affectation which should be avoided. Cards
should be left after a funeral.
There is no code of etiquette established as yet for divorce. Second
marriages should be as quiet as possible. This advice is given to
bachelors who are contemplating matrimony with divorcees.
GENERAL ADVICE FOR UNCLASSIFIED OCCASIONS.
If you are chosen godfather, you are expected to send a silver mug to
your godchild. Christening parties are held about four in the afternoon.
Afternoon dress is required.
When giving a dinner or any entertainment at a certain well-known New
York restaurant do not refer to it as "Del's." This is an earmark of
vulgarity.
When speaking of the city of New York do not refer to it as "Gotham."
This shows the worst kind of provincialism and a vulgar spirit.
Even should your friends be among the most exclusive and fashionable in
any place, they are never "swells," nor do they belong to the "Four
Hundred." The latter term was once used by a gentleman to designate the
probable list of people who were to entertain in New York that season,
and has no bearing whatever upon the question of social limit.
If you send flowers never have them arranged in set designs. Fair
voyagers will thank you much more if you send fruit, sweets, or books,
as flowers on shipboard or railroad trains are nuisances. Books, sweets,
and flowers are the only gifts which a bachelor can offer or a woman
accept from him.
The terms "lady" and "gentleman" are distinctive. Your friends and
acquaintances are all supposed to be ladies and gentlemen. To
distinguish them as such implies a doubt. Should you call at a house you
ask if the "ladies" are in, so as to distinguish them from the other
females in the household. You also toast the "ladies." In referring to
the gentler sex, it is more complimentary to speak of them as "women."
You would say, "She is a clever woman," not a "clever lady." The person
who speaks of "a lady or a gentleman friend" has a defined social
position--on the Bowery.
Avoid slang, especially that of the music halls or the comic (?)
newspapers. You can well afford not to be "up to date."
In greeting a person say "Good morning," "Good afternoon," or "Good
evening," but refrain from such inane phrases as "Delighted, I'm sure."
On introduction or presentation, it is sufficient to say "I am delighted
to meet you." Avoid also the "How d'y do?" "How are you?" "Very well, I
thank you." All this is idiotic.
Whistle all you like in your bedroom, but not in public.
Gentlefolk have "friends" stopping with them, never "company." Servants
have and keep "company."
When you refer to wine it means any kind of vintage, and not necessarily
champagne. Therefore beware of the "gentleman who opens wine," or the
one who gives a "wine party," whatever that may mean. We speak of a
dinner, but not of a dinner party. A party to the play, no matter where
the location of the places may be, is never a "box party."
Do not be a professed jester nor yet a punster. The clowns of society
are not enviable beings.
When speaking of a fashionable woman do not refer to her as a "society
woman." That would imply that she belongs to various societies or
guilds, which is not probably the impression you desire to convey.
When a person has a predilection for the use of the word "elegant," and
especially when it is employed in the sense of beautiful, good,
charming, or delightful, you are quite just in your estimation of his or
her vulgarity.
Answers to questions should be given in the direct affirmative or the
direct negative. "All right" is not, to say the least, civil, and is
ill-bred.
Never exhibit your accomplishments, unless "by special request," in the
public parlors of hotels, or saloons of ships, or other places of
general gathering. The persons who sing and play the piano and make
themselves bores are as reprehensible as the window opening and shutting
fiends, the fidgety travelers, the loud-voiced and constant complaining,
all of whom are most obnoxious.
Under great provocation the expletive "damn" is tolerated by society,
but it should be whispered and not pronounced aloud. The man who swears
is certainly beyond the pale, and the one who uses silly and senseless
exclamations is not far away from him. One of the marks of a gentleman
is his complete mastery of himself under the most trying and aggravating
circumstances.
These are but few of the many "don'ts" which it seems necessary to
repeat in works of this kind. For a more extended catalogue of social
and grammatical sins, the reader is referred to that excellent book The
Verbalist, by Alfred Ayres, and the clever little _brochure_ Don't. A
careful study of these will assist him much in reviewing elementary
questions, the knowledge of which was taken for granted by the author of
the Complete Bachelor.
