THEATRES. A chaperone's permission should be
asked before a man's invitation to the theatre
can be accepted. The chaperone can also
accept, on behalf of her protege, invitations
from men to theatre parties or suppers,
if she too is invited.
The chaperone should be present at mixed
theatre parties--one for small, and two or
more for larger parties and suppers. The
chaperones may use their own carriage to
call for the guests, and then meet the men at
the places of entertainment. The chaperone
should say when the entertainment shall
close.
UNABLE TO BE PRESENT. When a chaperone
is unable to fulfill her duties, she may delegate
them to another, provided it is agreeable
to all concerned.
CHEESE is first cut into small bits, then placed on
pieces of bread or cracker, and lifted by the
fingers to the mouth.
CHINA WEDDING. This is the twentieth wedding anniversary,
and is not usually celebrated; but
if it is, the invitation may bear the words
NO PRESENTS RECEIVED, and congratulations may
be extended in accepting or declining the
invitation. An entertainment is usually
provided for. Any article of china is appropriate
as a gift.
CHOIR-BOYS AT WEDDINGS. These form a brilliant
addition to a church wedding, and when
employed they meet the bridal party in the
vestibule, and precede them to the altar,
singing a hymn or other appropriate selection.
CHRISTENING.
DRESS. The mother wears an elaborate reception
gown to the church, with white gloves and
a light hat or bonnet.
If the ceremony is at the house, she can
wear an elaborate tea-gown.
The guests wear afternoon or evening
dress, according whether the ceremony comes
before or after 6 P.M.
FLOWERS. A christening ceremony offers a good
opportunity for the guests who desire to
present flowers to the mother. This is not
obligatory, however, and must remain a
matter of personal taste.
GIFTS. A christening ceremony offers a good
opportunity for the invited guests, if they
desire, to send a present to the baby.
These should be sent a day or two before
the ceremony, and if of silver should be
marked with the child's name, initials, or
monogram.
GUESTS. The invitations should be promptly
answered.
At a church ceremony the guests, as they
are few in number, assemble in the front
pews.
