At an entertainment a chaperone may ask
a young man if he wishes to be introduced
to the one under her care.
FORMULA. A good formula for men is: "Mr.
Brown, may I present Mr. Clark?"
A man presenting a man friend to a woman
should say: "Mr. Williams desires to be
presented to Miss Wilson. Miss Wilson,
allow me to introduce Mr. Williams. This is
Mr. Williams, Miss Wilson."
The formality is sometimes waved, and the
forms, "This is Mr. So and So, Miss Jones,"
"Mrs. Smith, Miss Jones," or "Allow me to
present ----," are used when casual meetings
occur.
PARTY INTRODUCED. After receiving call of
party to whom you have been introduced,
the visit should be returned. If AT HOME
card was left, the call should be made only
on the days specified; if an ordinary card,
call at any time within three to ten days.
If the party introduced leaves town, he
should send his card to his late host before
leaving; upon his return, he should leave
his card again.
PARTY INTRODUCING BY CARD--WOMEN. A
note of explanation may be sent by party who
brings about the introduction to the party to
whom the introduction is made, giving such
explanations as may be deemed advisable.
Two cards should be used--a person's own
card and the card of the party being introduced,
enclosed in envelope, and sent by
mail or messenger. On the left corner over
name of party introduced should be written:
INTRODUCING MR. WILSON
PARTY INTRODUCING BY LETTER--WOMEN.
Care should be exercised that the introduction
is agreeable to all concerned.
RECEPTIONS. The man should express desire
for an introduction.
WOMEN. Women calling and meeting others may
be introduced to each other by the hostess.
Upon such an occasion, when a meeting happens
between women, conversation may take
place between them without an introduction.
It does not imply further acquaintance if not
desired.
Extreme etiquette demands that no two
women of the same locality be introduced to
each other without the consent of both parties.
The object of this is that, although the parties
may be agreeable to the hostess, they may
be objectionable to each other.
Women upon being introduced to each
other may shake hands, but a slight inclination
of the body, a smile, and an appropriate
remark are more correct.
When entering a room where others are
assembled, introducing a guest to more than
one person at a time is unadvisable.
Men are introduced to women, single
women to married women, and a young
woman to an older one.
No woman should allow a man to be introduced
to her unless her permission has been
first obtained. The exception would be in the
case of a very elderly man, or a celebrity,
when the honor would be conferred upon her.
