MEN. If well acquainted with a debutante's
family, a man may send her flowers at the
time of her debut.
After a slightly intimate acquaintance, a
man can present flowers to a young
unmarried woman as a token of sympathy either of
joy or sorrow.
It is not usual for a man to send flowers to
a woman who is a mere acquaintance.
BALLS. It is permissible for a man, if he wishes,
to send flowers to a woman he is to escort to
a ball.
THEATRE OR OPERA. It is permissible, but not
necessary, for a man to send flowers to the
woman he is to take to the theatre or to the
opera.
WEDDING TRIP. The best man should arrange
beforehand all the details of the trip--such as
the tickets, parlor-car, flowers, baggage, etc.
PALL-BEARERS. See PALL-BEARERS--FLOWERS.
FORK AND KNIFE. See KNIFE AND FORK.
FORMAL AFTERNOON TEAS. See AFTERNOON TEAS (FORMAL).
FORMAL DANCES. See DANCES (FORMAL).
FRUIT. All raw fruit, except melons, berries, and
grapefruit, are eaten with the fingers.
Canned fruits are eaten with a spoon.
FULL DRESS. This phrase is now no longer in good
usage, and instead should be used the term:
"Evening Dress," which SEE.
FUNERALS. A member of the family, or very near
relative, should take charge of the ceremony
and direct the undertaker. A large funeral
should be avoided, and the ceremony confined
to the immediate family and nearest relatives,
and, if possible, the service should be at the
church.
All the details of the funeral should be
carefully considered and carried out, with the
ceremony started at the hour set, and with
all appearance of confusion avoided.
It is not now customary to watch by the
dead at night.
Funerals should be private, and only those
intimately interested should be invited.
CARRIAGES. A carriage should always be
provided to call for the clergyman and to take
him from the church or cemetery back to his
house. Carriages should also be provided to
take the friends, mourners, and pall-bearers
from the house to the church, and then to the
cemetery and return. These are provided by
the family.
DRESS. See FUNERALS--MEN.
