GLOVES. Gloves should be worn at formal
dances, and should be put on before entering
the room.
SHAKING HANDS. It is not customary to shake
hands at formal dances.
SMOKING. Smoking should not be allowed in
the dressing-room, but a special room should
be provided. Men who dance should not
smoke until leaving the house.
WOMEN. The time for the formal dance is indicated
on the invitation, and all should be
there not later than half an hour after the
time set.
At private dances the maid takes and calls
for the young woman in the absence of a male
escort.
Young women should be chaperoned at all
formal dances by their mother or others.
Introductions should be made as much as
possible before the dancing begins.
DAUGHTERS.
CARDS. The card of the eldest daughter in
society is simply Miss Wilson, and upon her
death or marriage the card of the next
daughter becomes the same. Where there
are unmarried aunts and cousins having the
father's name, only the eldest daughter of
the eldest man can use the form Miss Wilson.
If two or more sisters enter society at
about the same time, their names may appear
on their mother's card as The Misses Wilson.
The name of the younger daughter should
appear in full on her mother's card--as, Miss
Mary Jane Wilson.
Until the younger daughter has formally,
made her debut, she visits only intimate
friends of the family. After her debut she
has no card, and her full baptismal name
appears on her mother's card, beneath her
name, and not until a year or two after her
first appearance does she have a card of her
own.
When a mother leaves her daughter's card,
it is for the hostess only.
If reception days appear on the mother's
card, the daughters also receive on that day,
as they have no reception date of their
own.
After an entertainment the cards of the
family may be left for the host and hostess
by the eldest daughter.
The eldest daughter has her own circle of
acquaintances, and can visit and receive independently
of her mother.
DUTIES AT BALLS. See BALLS--DUTIES OF
DAUGHTERS.
DAUGHTER OF BARON--HOW ADDRESSED. An official
letter begins: Madam, and ends: I have the
honor to remain, Madam, your obedient servant.
