SEEDS should be removed from the mouth with the
aid of a fork, or dropped into the half-closed
hand.
SENATOR--HOW ADDRESSED. An official letter begins:
Sir, and ends: I have, sir, the honor to
remain your most obedient servant.
A social letter begins: My dear Senator
Wilson, and ends: Believe me, most sincerely
yours.
The address on the envelope is: Senator
John J. Wilson, or, To the Hon. John J.
Wilson.
SERVANTS-TIPPING. It is customary for guests leaving
a house after a visit to tip the servants,
unless positively requested by the hostess not
to do so. The average tip would be one
dollar, with more for extra attention.
SHAKING HANDS.
DANCES. It is not customary to shake hands at
formal dances.
HOST AND HOSTESS. The host and the hostess
should shake hands with each guest as they
arrive.
If guest takes leave of host and hostess,
they should shake hands. If they are
surrounded by guests, a pleasant nod of farewell
is admissible.
MEN. At a wedding, the opera, or a dance, and
all very formal occasions, gloves should not
be removed when shaking hands.
If the hostess wears gloves at any formal
affair, a man wears his when he shakes hands
with her. He should give a slight pressure
only.
A man with hands gloved should never
shake hands with a woman without an apology
for so doing, unless she likewise wears
gloves. A sudden meeting, etc., may make
a handshaking in gloves unavoidable. Unless
the other party is gloved, a man should
apologize.
When men are introduced to men, they
always shake hands. It is bad form to crush
the hand when shaking it.
When introduced to a woman, men should
bow, but not offer to shake hands.
CALLS. If the woman is seated when a man enters
the room, she rises to greet him, and, if
she wishes, shakes hands. She has the
option to shake hands or not, and should
make the first advances. It is bad form for
him to do so.
WOMEN. Upon introduction, a woman may
shake hands with either men or women, but
a slight inclination of the body, a pleasant
smile, and an appropriate remark are more
correct.
