The address on the envelope is: HON. JOHN

HUSBAND AND WIFE--CARDS, VISITING. See CARDS,
VISITING-HUSBAND AND WIFE.
IN MEMORIAM CARDS. Printed or engraved notes, or
special cards, can be used, and should be
heavily bordered. Custom allows much diversity
as to the contents of the card. Place
and date of birth, residence, date of death,
and any other information of interest to
friends and relatives may be given.
INFANT'S CARDS. The full name of the child should
be engraved, with date of birth in lower
left-hand corner, enclosed in envelope with
mother's card, and sent by mail. Such cards
are generally held together with white ribbon.
INFORMAL AFTERNOON TEAS. These are the usual afternoon
teas. By formal afternoon teas are
meant those for which specially engraved
cards have been issued, and at which all the
arrangements are more elaborate.
See AFTERNOON TEAS.
INTERIOR, SECRETARY OF--HOW ADDRESSED. 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.
The address on the envelope is: Hon. John
J. Wilson, Secretary Of The Interior.
INTRODUCTIONS. One should be careful in making introductions.
It is easier to evade than to cause
disagreeable complications. It is unpardonable
to introduce one party to another after
having been warned not to do so.
Forgetting a person's name when about to
introduce is awkward, and when it does
occur, one should apologize and ask name.
If a person fails to hear the name, it is proper
to inform the one to whom you are introduced
and to say: "Pardon me, but I failed to
hear your name." In making introductions
one should distinctly pronounce the names.
Parents should not speak of or introduce
their children as MISS ANNA, but simply
MY DAUGHTER ANNA. Only before servants
should they be spoken of as MISS ANNA.
Persons of celebrity should have introductions
made to them. Men should always be
introduced to women, the younger to an
elder person, and unmarried persons to the
married. Persons at an entertainment are
introduced to the guest of the occasion.
Women and men on being introduced may
shake hands, but it is not good form. A
polite bow, a smile, and friendly recognition
is more correct.
