A social letter begins: Dear Lady Kent,
and ends: Believe me, dear Lady Kent,
sincerely yours.
The address is: To the Countess of Kent.
COUNTRY CALLS. The usual rule in calling is for the
residents to call first upon the temporary
cottage people, and between these latter the
early comers call first upon those coming
later.
In the city there is no necessity for
neighbors to call upon each other.
CRACKERS should be broken into small pieces and
eaten with the fingers.
CRESTS. If men and women wish, these may be
stamped in the latest fashionable colors on
their stationery. It is not customary to use
a crest and a stamped address on the same
paper.
The present fashion in crests is that they
should be of small size.
It is not usual to stamp the crest on the
flap of the envelope.
If sealing-wax is used, some dull color
should be chosen.
A person should avoid all individual
eccentricities and oddities in stamping, such
as facsimile autographs, etc.
CRYSTAL WEDDINGS. This anniversary comes after
fifteen years of married life, and the
invitations may bear the words: No presents
received, and on their acceptance or declination,
congratulations may be extended. An
entertainment should be provided for. Any
article of crystal or glass is appropriate as a
gift.
DANCES.
CARRIAGES. A man should secure his carriage-check
when leaving his carriage. It is safer
to take wraps and coats to the house in case
of accidents.
When taking a woman wearing evening
dress to a ball or dance, a man should
provide a carriage.
DEBUTANTE. See DANCES--WOMEN--DEBUTANTE.
DRESS. Evening dress is worn by men and
women.
DINNER INVITATIONS. The hostess issues two
sets of invitations--one for those invited to
both dinner and dance, and one for those
invited to the dance only.
For the former, the hostess should use her
usual engraved dinner cards, with the written
words: Dancing at eleven, and for the latter
her usual engraved At Home cards, with the
written words: Dancing at eleven.
