TOASTS--WEDDINGS. Toasts to the bride and groom
are customary at the wedding breakfast or
supper.
If the groom gives a farewell bachelor dinner,
he should propose a toast to the bride.
THEATRE PARTIES. See also CHAPERONE-MEN.
CHAPERONE-THEATRE.
THIRD PERSON-USED IN CORRESPONDENCE. While it
was formerly the correct usage to begin
formal communications in the third person, it
is now the custom to begin such letters: MY
DEAR MRS SMITH, or MADAM.
The third person would be used only in
writing to a workman, a strange servant, or
a business firm.
TIN WEDDING. After ten years of marriage, occurs
the tin wedding. The invitations sent out
may have the words: NO PRESENTS RECEIVED.
Congratulations may be extended in accepting
or declining the invitation.
Every conceivable device made of tin is
appropriate as a gift, but, as these are limited,
ingenuity may be displayed in getting up
oddities. An entertainment may follow.
TIPPING.
At balls. It is not customary to tip the servants
at a private ball, but at a public one
it is usual to give a tip to the attendant at
the cloak-room.
At christenings. The father usually gives
the nurse at a christening a sum of money,
and the mother gives her some article of
dress or piece of jewelry.
At house; parties. See HOUSE PARTIES. GUESTS.
TIPPING SERVANTS. Also under names of
servants--as, COACHMAN.
TITLES.
MEN'S CARDS. Men having titles use them before
their names--as, REVEREND, REV. MR.,
REV. DR., Army and Navy titles, and
officers on the retired list.
LL.D. and all professional titles are placed
after the name. Political and judicial titles
are always omitted.
Physicians may use DR. before or M.D.
after their names. On cards intended for
social use, office hours and other professional
matters are omitted.
WOMEN'S CARDS. The same principles govern
the titles on women's cards, with the addition
that women should never use titles of their
husbands.
