HOURS. For an afternoon musicale, the hours
are usually from four to six. For an
elaborate evening drawing-room concert, any hour
may be selected.
INVITATIONS. These are sent out two weeks
before the event. If entertainment is in the
evening, they should be issued by husband
and wife. If given in honor of a prominent
person at any hour whatever, the cards
should be engraved, and in either case the
word Music should appear in the lower left-
hand corner.
These should be acknowledged at once by
a letter of acceptance or regret.
NAPKINS, when in use, are laid on the lap, and, when
finished with, are not folded up unless one is a
guest for a few days; on all other occasions
they are left unfolded. A good plan is to
follow the example of the hostess.
When fruit is brought on, a small fruit
napkin is placed across the knee or held in
the right hand, with which to hold the fruit,
and when it is no longer needed, it should
be laid beside the plate.
NAVY, SECRETARY OF--HOW ADDRESSED. An official
letter begins: Sir, and ends: I have, sir, the
honor to remain your most obedient servant.
A social letter begins: My dear Mr. Wilson,
and ends: I have the honor to remain
most sincerely yours.
The address on the envelope is: Hon. John
J. Wilson, Secretary of the Navy.
NEW ACQUAINTANCES.
WOMEN. New acquaintances should not be invited
to entertainments unless agreeable to
all concerned.
An entertainment can be given to meet
new acquaintances if there be some special
reason for so doing.
Elderly persons and professional people can
send their cards to younger persons if they
wish to continue acquaintance.
NEWCOMERS.
BALL INVITATIONS. It is allowable for a new-
comer wishing to give a ball to borrow the
visiting list of some friend; but she should
enclose in each invitation a calling card of this
friend, so that the invited ones may know
that the friend is acting as a sponsor.
DUTY OF. No effort should be made to obtain
recognition of older residents.
Visits from neighbors should be returned
within a week. If from any reason a newcomer
is unable to call, a note stating the
reason should be sent.
If visit of neighbor's male relative is desired,
a woman may send him a written or
verbal invitation; but if visit is not desired,
no notice is taken of his card, in the event of
one having been left.
