FIRST CALLS. Newcomers and brides are called upon
first.
After a country visit, the visitor should call
first upon the hostess when the latter returns
to town.
Other things being equal, the younger or
unmarried woman calls first upon the older
or married woman.
A woman returning to town before another
one would make the first call.
If one woman issues her AT HOME card
before another, she should receive the first
call.
FISH should be eaten with a fork held in the right
hand and a piece of bread held in the left hand.
The bones should be removed from the
mouth with the aid of a fork or with the
fingers. If by the latter, great delicacy
should be used.
FLOWER GIRL. The flower girls--one or two, as may
be the case--follow the maid of honor up the
isle and strew flowers in the path of the
bride, who follows after.
In the procession down the isle they should
follow the bride.
Flower girls and pages are not used now
as much as formerly.
FLOWERS. Between friends, flowers may be sent as
an expression of sympathy in either joy or
sorrow.
BIRTH, ANNOUNCEMENT OF. If wishing to send
congratulations after a birth, cards should be
left in person or sent by a messenger. Cut
flowers may be sent with the card.
BRIDE. If she wishes, a bride may present flowers
to her bridesmaids, and also to the best
man and ushers.
CHRISTENING. 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.
CONDOLENCE CALLS. When making a condolence
call upon a very intimate friend, cut
flowers may be left in person or sent,
together with a card, unless request has been
made to send none.
DEBUTANTE. Friends should send flowers to a
debutante at a formal tea given in her honor.
ENGAGEMENT. Flowers should accompany the
greetings from the parents of the man to the
parents of the woman.
FUNERALS. See FUNERALS--FLOWERS.
GROOM. He pays for the bridal bouquet carried
by the bride at the wedding ceremony, and, if
he wishes, for the bouquets carried by the
bridesmaids.
