WRITTEN AFTER HOUSE PARTIES. If the visit
has been more than two days in length, a
guest should write to the hostess a short
letter, telling of his pleasant visit and safe
journey home.
CONCLUSION OF. See CONCLUSION OF A LETTER.
OF CONDOLENCE. See CONDOLENCE, LETTERS OF.
OF INTRODUCTION. See INTRODUCTION, LETTERS OF.
LETTUCE leaves should not be cut, but folded up with
a fork, and then lifted to the mouth. In the
event of these being too large for this treatment,
they should be broken into suitable
pieces with the fork.
LICENSE, MARRIAGE. A license, when required by
State law, should be obtained by the groom
and handed to the officiating clergyman the
day before the ceremony. Usually a small fee
is charged, and the details, when entered upon
the clerk's records, are open to public inspection.
The day need not be named, and until
the marriage is solemnized the license has no
binding effect.
LUNCHEONS. Usually only women are invited to
these entertainments. Oddities, such as pink,
blue, and yellow luncheons, are not in good
taste. They should be as simple as possible.
Informal luncheons are the same as informal
breakfasts. A more formal luncheon
is proper when introducing a special guest.
Small tables are used, and diagrams of their
arrangement are placed in the dressing-room,
designating the places of the guests.
CALLS. Calls should be made a week after
entertainment.
WOMEN. Women dress in visiting toilettes and
wear their bonnets, laying aside their wraps
in the dressing-room. Gloves should be removed
at table.
After coffee, the guests should take their
leave, making some gracious remark to the
hostess.
Calls should be made a week after the
entertainment.
GIVEN BY BACHELORS. See Bachelors' Luncheons.
GUESTS. Only women, as a rule, attend luncheons.
For further details, see LUNCHEONS--WOMEN.
HOSTESS. Introductions take place in the parlor.
At the appointed hour the hostess leads the
way to the drawing-room, followed by the
guests.
The hostess and principal guest should sit
at one of the centre-tables. Between the
courses the hostess and two of the women
seated with her rise and change seats with
others. This may be done by others also if
they desire. They take their napkins with
them.
