The chaperone is taken into dinner by the
host, unless the latter takes in the woman in
whose honor the dinner may be given. In
the latter case, the chaperone is seated at the
host's left. She gives the signal for the
women to leave the dining-room.
All guests should be introduced to the
chaperone, and she should be called upon
after a short time by the host.
DRESS. All guests wear evening dress.
HOST. The host should call upon the chaperone
within a few days after the dinner.
If men only are present, he either precedes
or follows the guests into the dining-room,
and if he has given the dinner in honor of
some man, he has the latter seated at his
right. His duties are the same as the host
at dinners.
INVITATIONS. These are usually given in brief
notes, but may be engraved, and are similar
to the regular invitations to dinners, and are
treated accordingly.
MEN. The men wear evening dress, and follow
the same etiquette as at other dinners.
WOMEN. The women wear evening dress, and
follow the same etiquette as at all dinners,
except that no calls are made by them afterward
upon the host.
BACHELOR'S FAREWELL DINNER. If the groom wishes,
he may give a farewell dinner a few evenings
before the wedding to his best man, ushers,
and a few intimate friends. He sits at the
head of the table and the best man opposite,
and on this occasion he may give scarf-pins,
link cuff-buttons--or neckties and gloves, if
he wishes--to the best man and ushers.
BACHELORS' LUNCHEONS. These are conducted like
BACHELOR'S DINNERS, which see. The one difference
is that, should the luncheon be given
before 6 P.M., afternoon dress should be worn.
BACHELORS' OPERA PARTIES. See THEATRE AND OPERA
PARTIES GIVEN BY MEN.
BACHELORS' SUPPERS. These are conducted the same
as BACHELOR'S DINNERS, which see.
BACHELORS' TEAS OR AFTERNOON RECEPTIONS.
CHAPERONES. If women are present, a married
chaperone is indispensable, who should be
the first person invited by personal call.
The chaperone at a small affair pours the
tea, and at a large one she receives with the
host, and each guest is presented to her.
The host conducts the chaperone to her
carriage, and also any other women who may
have assisted her.
