The address is: To the Lord John J. Kent,
SON (YOUNGER) OF VISCOUNT-HOW ADDRESSED. An
official letter begins: Sir, and ends: I have
the honor to remain your obedient servant.
A social letter begins: Dear Mr. Wilson,
and ends: Believe me, dear Mr. Wilson, sincerely
yours.
The address on the envelope is: To the
Honorable John Wilson.
SOUP should be taken from the side of the spoon
without noise and without the plate being
tipped. Men with mustaches are privileged
in this respect, and may take the soup from
the end of the spoon.
SOUVENIRS.
BRIDESMAIDS. These are given by the bride to
her bridesmaids a few days before the wedding,
and take the form of fans or jewelry of
some kind that may be worn at the wedding.
A good time to present them is when the
bride gives a farewell dinner or luncheon to
her bridesmaids.
Failing this, they may be sent a few days
before the wedding.
The souvenirs should, of course, be all the
same in value and in style.
USHERS. The souvenirs given by the groom to
the ushers usually take the form of scarf-pins
or cuff-buttons. Sometimes the groom
also gives the ushers neckties and gloves.
A good time for their distribution is at the
farewell bachelor dinner.
SPONSORS. Only relatives and near friends should
be asked to act as sponsors at a christening.
Two women and one man are asked as sponsors
for a girl, and one woman and two men
for a boy, though one man and one woman
are sufficient in either case.
These may be invited by note or personal
call to act as sponsors, and should answer by
note or personal call.
A few days before the ceremony the sponsor
should send a christening gift addressed
to the child, and the giver's card, with a
suitable sentiment written on it, should be
sent with the gift.
A man may give some article of silver, and,
if a wealthy relative, a bank-book for money
deposited in the child's name.
A woman may present the child with a
garment, a carriage, a cradle, or some similar
article.
It is in good taste for the sponsors to call
immediately on the parents, to send flowers
to the mother, and to show that they are
pleased with the compliment.
