A gentleman should never recognise a lady, to whom he has never been presented, at a ball or evening party, and should pass her as a stranger, unless she chooses to recognise him, when he should, as in all other cases, return the salute.
A very young person should wait to be recognised by one more advanced in age.
INTRODUCTIONS.
On giving introductions, always present a gentleman to a lady, save when a lady enters a room where several persons are assembled, when the lady is presented. Very young persons should be presented to older ones; and we should always present individuals to those persons to whom we owe particular respect, on account of age, station, &c.
It is in good taste to present both parties, merely inverting the order of the names.
