A married woman to whom a man is presented
receives him with some pleasant remark.
An unmarried one receives him with
a pleasant smile and repeats his name.
Personal introduction is done by a third
party introducing two persons to each other,
provided it is agreeable to all concerned. Introductions
should be made with extreme
care and caution, and not at all unless one is
well acquainted with both parties.
Outdoor Introductions--as, when meeting
others, or at outdoor sports--need not be
formal, but can be done haphazard. This
does not imply further acquaintance if not
desired.
FORMULA. A woman should introduce her husband
to acquaintances as "My husband,"
and not "Mr."; to intimate friends as
"Henry."
HOSTESS. Introductions to the hostess at an
"At Home," or reception by women assisting
hostess, of those who have been invited to
the entertainment by them, are not recognized
thereafter unless by mutual consent.
The hostess receiving in her own home
should offer her hand to all to whom she is
introduced.
The hostess introduces her immediate family
to all her guests. No formal permission
is necessary.
In the case of one woman desiring an introduction
to another, the hostess should be
asked to bring this about.
INTRODUCTION, LETTERS OF. The introduction of one
person to another by letter is as follows: The
party introducing writes the name of the party
he introduces upon his own card, and above
his name the words: Introducing Mr. Wilson
(his friend's name). It is then placed in an
envelope and addressed to the person to whom
the introduction is to be made. On the
lower left-hand corner of the envelope, Introducing
Mr. Wilson, is written, and given to
the bearer unsealed.
The party to whom a letter of introduction
is given should send it by mail to the party
they desire to be introduced to, enclosing
their own card with address, and then await
invitation to call.
This is preferable to calling in person, as
it may not be agreeable or desirable for the
party to open and begin such an acquaintance.
In business introduction, such formality
may be set aside.
If a letter of introduction is personally delivered,
the party presenting it should also
enclose card.
If the party called upon is not at home,
the letter or card should not be left, but sent
by mail or messenger.
The one giving another a letter of introduction
may write to the friend explaining
why it is done, who and what the party is.
