An afternoon tea is called a formal afternoon
tea when engraved cards have been
issued, naming set date.
CARDS. Guests should leave cards in the hall, or
hand them to the servant. Women may
leave the cards of the men of her family.
Those unable to attend should send card the
same afternoon by mail or messenger.
See also AFTERNOON TEAS (Formal)-Cards.
DRESS. Both men and women wear afternoon dress.
GUESTS. All guests, both men and women, wear
afternoon dress.
Guests may suit their convenience in arriving
or departing--provided they do not
come at the opening hour, nor stay to the
last moment.
After the guests have left their wraps in
the dressing-rooms, they leave their cards in
the tray in the hall and enter the drawing-
room, the women preceding the men.
After greeting the hostess and being introduced
to those assisting her, the guests quietly move
away and mingle with the rest.
Each guest goes to the dining-room when
he pleases and leaves when he wishes. It is
not necessary upon departure to shake hands
with the hostess at a large reception, though
it is better to do so at a small affair.
It is not necessary for a guest to stay the
entire evening; twenty minutes is sufficient.
HOST. If present, he does not receive with his
wife. It is not essential that he be present
on such an occasion.
HOSTESS. The hostess wears full dress. Daughters
may assist, or young women may be asked to do so.
HOURS. From four to seven.
INVITATIONS. For an afternoon tea a visiting-
card may be used with the hour and date
written or engraved on it. They may be sent
by mail or messenger.
The invitation need not be acknowledged.
AFTERNOON WEDDING RECEPTIONS are conducted the
same as Wedding Receptions, which see.
