The success of the hostess depends on her
making the guests feel free from care and
ENNUI.
CARING FOR THE SICK. In addition to the regular
care of the guest's room and attention to
his comfort and pleasure, a hostess should
double her energies in case her guest is sick.
She is not called upon to pay for the expenses
of telegrams, doctor's bills, medicines,
etc., contracted by the guest. If a
guest departed without attending to these
matters, the hostess would have to pay for
them.
GIVING FAREWELL, To VISITORS. A hostess
should, in bidding farewell to her visitors,
see that she does not overdo it.
While it is not strictly necessary that a
hostess should accompany a guest to the depot,
yet many still follow this rule, especially in
the case of an unmarried woman, and are
careful to see to all the details of checking
baggage, etc.
In the case of a bachelor, such attention
is not necessary.
A hostess conveys at her own expense both
the guest and baggage to and from the
station.
GREETING VISITORS. When an hour of arrival
is specified in an invitation, the guest
should be met at the station, especially an
unmarried woman, by the hostess or host.
In case of married couples or bachelors, a
man servant may meet them.
In all cases the hostess should arrange for
the conveyance of both the guests and their
luggage.
A hostess accompanies a woman to the
guest chamber, but sends a man servant
with a bachelor to the latter's room.
INVITATIONS. These should state definitely
when a visit is to begin and to end. It is
also a good plan to allude in the invitation
to any special amusement or entertainment.
These invitations should be answered
promptly.
MEN--DRESS. A man should carry with him
one business suit, evening clothes, and one
outing suit suitable for afternoon entertainments
--as, picnics, tennis, etc. This is almost
indispensable, and more depends upon the
nature of the entertainments and the length
of the visit.
WOMEN--DRESS. A woman should take at least
three changes of dress--one to travel in and
wear in the morning, one for evening wear,
and a third for afternoon picnics, outings,
etc. The length of her visit and the nature of
the entertainments and her individual taste
determines how much she may increase this.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, MEMBER OF. An official
letter begins: SIR, and ends: I HAVE, SIR, THE
HONOR TO REMAIN YOUR MOST OBEDIENT SERVANT.
A social letter begins: MY DEAR MR. WILSON
and ends: I HAVE THE HONOR TO REMAIN MOST
SINCERELY YOURS.
