If a man sends a letter of introduction to
a woman, she should acknowledge it, and, if
she wishes, invite him to call.
PARTY RECEIVING--WOMEN. The party receiving
cards of introduction should call in person
upon woman introduced; if unable to do
so, a letter should be sent, stating reasons of
inability to be present. A member of the
family may make the call instead. It should
be done within three days.
If not agreeable to receive party for any
reason, a card may be sent or left. No personal
visit need be made.
INVALID'S CALLS. A woman unable to call from sickness
may have her calls made for her by her
sister, or daughter, or some female relative.
INVITATIONS. Care should be exercised in inviting
new acquaintances to breakfast, luncheon, or
dinner, unless there are some particular
reasons why they will be especially agreeable
to those invited.
All invitations should be sent by mail.
Verbal invitations should be avoided as
much as possible, and if a verbal one is given,
it should be followed immediately by one in
writing.
ACCEPTING OR DECLINING. Invitations to all
entertainments, when answers are expected,
should be acknowledged by a written letter
of acceptance or regret. The answer should
be sent to the person or committee issuing the
invitation.
Invitations to dinners, musicales, weddings,
and breakfasts should be answered at
once, and those to balls, dances, and receptions
within one week.
Invitations to ordinary "At Homes," teas,
or weddings, which do not include invitations
to the wedding breakfast or reception,
need no acknowledgment.
The invitations sent to a family--as,
mother, or daughter, or several daughters--
may be answered by one person for all. But
invitations sent to the men of the family
should be answered by each man.
When it is found necessary to decline after
accepting an invitation, a card should be sent
the evening of the entertainment with an explanatory
letter the day following.
BALLS. Invitations to balls or assemblies should
be answered immediately, and if declined the
ticket should be returned.
DANCING. While a woman may accept or decline
any invitation to dance, it is considered a
discourteous act to refuse one man and to accept
thereafter from another an invitation to
the same dance.
WEDDINGS. Such invitations should be answered
at once, except when the invitation does not
include an invitation to the wedding reception
or breakfast, in which case no answer is
needed.
