WEDDING RECEPTIONS. The ushers, should
introduce the guests to the groom and bride,
calling the latter "Mr. and Mrs. A.," beginning
with the relatives and friends, and continuing
with the others till all have been introduced.
In introducing the guests, the usher should
offer his arm to the woman, and if not
knowing her, should ask her her name, while her
escort follows and is introduced at the same
time. The bride may request the usher to
introduce the guests to the parents.
VALET.
TIPS. It is customary for a man leaving after a
house party to give to the valet who has
waited upon him at least one dollar and more,
in proportion for added attention.
WITH MASTER ON VISIT. As a general rule,
few American men take their valets with
them when they visit. But when such is the
case, the valet would wait upon his master,
and should give as little care to the household
as possible.
VEIL
MOURNING. See Widow-Mourning.
WEDDING. This should be white. While its
length depends upon the wishes of the bride,

Verbal Invitations. All invitations should be sent
by mail, and verbal invitations avoided if
possible; if one is given, it should be
followed by one in writing.
