RESIDENTS' DUTY TO MEN. When calling, kinswoman
leaves cards of all the male members
of family who are in society. If these cards
left by kinswoman are not followed by an
invitation to call, it is presumed that the
acquaintance is not desired. Men can not
call upon women of the family of new resident,
unless invited to do so by either verbal
or written message.
RESIDENTS' DUTY TO WOMEN. The newcomer
receives the first call from the older resident,
which should be made within a reasonable
time. Women making the first call, leave
their own card and those of the male members
of the family.
It is unnecessary to be introduced in the
absence of letters of introduction. Visits
should be of short duration.
OLIVES are eaten with the fingers.
OPERA. See THEATRE.
ORANGES, served in divided sections, sweetened, and
the seeds removed, should be eaten with the
fork. If served whole, cut into suitable
portions. Remove seed and skin.
ORGANIST AT WEDDINGS. The organist is selected by
the bride, but the fee is paid by the groom.
OVERCOAT--MEN CALLING ON WOMEN. When making a
formal or brief call, the overcoat should be
left in the hall.
P. P. C. CARDS (VISITING). These letters--standing
for Pour prendre conge (To take leave)--are
written in the lower left-hand corner of the
visiting-card. These cards are used as a
formal farewell to such friends and
acquaintances whose friendship it is desired to
continue.
They may be left in person, or sent upon
departure from city or winter or summer
resort. They are rarely used in brief visits,
and should only be used at the close of a
season.
Care should be exercised in sending them,
as an oversight in so doing may cause the
loss of good friends.
PAGES AT WEDDINGS. At the wedding, if pages are
present, they are usually dressed in satin
court costumes, and carry the bride's train.
PALL-BEARERS. It is not good taste to ask relatives to
be pall-bearers. The usual number is six to
eight elderly men for elderly person, and of
young men for a young man. Six young
women in white would be a suitable number
to act as pall-bearers for a young woman.
