The hostess makes what introductions she
deems proper.
DRESS. For an afternoon reception guests should
wear afternoon dress, and for an evening reception
evening dress.
AFTERNOON, GIVEN BY BACHELORS. See BACHELORS' TEAS.
EVENING. The etiquette is the same as for an
afternoon tea (formal), save that no cards
are left by the guests, and that the guests
should wear evening dress.
See also AFTERNOON TEAS (FORMAL).
WEDDING. See WEDDING RECEPTIONS.
REFRESHMENTS.
WEDDING RECEPTIONS. The refreshments are
placed on tables, and the guests help themselves
or are helped by the bridesmaids.
The groom and bride are waited upon by the
guests.
REGISTER, SIGNING OF. This is sometimes done by
the bride and the groom. This takes place
in the vestry, and the best man signs as chief
witness and some of the guests as witnesses.
REHEARSALS, WEDDING. Rehearsals should be held
even for a quiet home wedding, and at a sufficiently
early date to insure the presence of
all who are to participate.
REPORTERS AT WEDDINGS. If such is the wish of the
family of the bride, the best man attends to
the reporters, and furnishes them with the
names of groom, bride, relatives, friends, description
of gowns, and other suitable details.
RESIDENCE, CHANGE OF--WOMEN. After a change of
residence, the cards of the entire family should
be sent out as soon as possible.
RESTAURANTS. If at a table, and a woman bows, the
man should rise and bow in return. If a
man is one of a party sitting at a table, and a
woman with her escort stops to pass greetings,
he should rise and stand until they depart.
One man introduced to another who is surrounded
by male friends should rise to acknowledge
the honor of the introduction.
When a man is with a woman he should
exercise great care in recognizing male acquaintances
who may be in doubtful company.
He should avoid being in such company
himself when in such places.
Smoking in restaurants is a general custom.
The rules of the house govern this.
All fees to the waiters should be paid by
the one who pays the bills. If a woman is
paying her own bill when with a man, it is
in order for her to fee the waiter.
