PRIVATE WEDDINGS. These are attended only by
intimate friends and members of the
family, and vary but little from home weddings.
If the family is in mourning the cards are
issued with the name of bride and groom
and new address, together with card having
bride's maiden name, and the announcement
cards are sent after the ceremony.
Afternoon dress should be worn at an afternoon
wedding, and evening dress at an evening
wedding.
PROPOSALS OF MARRIAGE. The time, manner, and details
of proposals of marriage are appropriately
left to the good taste and judgment
of the groom. If the proposal is rejected,
good taste, womanly refinement, and courteous
consideration demand that it be kept
an inviolate secret, and any such breach of
confidence may be rightly deemed the act of
a woman without taste or tact, and unworthy
of respect.
Proposals by women, while permissible,
are not customary.
PUBLIC BALLS, By public balls are meant county and
charity balls, and balls given by social institutions
where dancing is the main feature.
These public balls differ from private ones in
that all the duties of the hostess fall upon
some committees.
These committees would follow the same
rules as laid down for a hostess--issuing
engraved invitations from fourteen to seventeen
days in advance, engaging a caterer,
etc.
The etiquette for a public ball is the same
as for a private one, save that guests arrive
and depart when they please without taking
leave of those who receive, and men wishing
introductions apply for them to the Floor or
Reception Committee.
At the cloak-rooms a small fee is paid to
the attendant.
SEE ALSO all entries under Balls.
BADGES. It is customary for the men and women
on the committees to wear on the left side of
the breast ornamental and embroidered
badges, with the official position designated
on it.
