HOSTESS.
INTRODUCTIONS. Introductions to the hostess at an "At Home" or reception by women assisting hostess, to those who have been invited to the entertainment by them, are not recognized thereafter unless by mutual consent.
The hostess receiving in her own home should offer her hand to all to whom she is introduced.
The hostess introduces her immediate family
to all her guests. No formal permission
is necessary.
In the case of one woman desiring an introduction to another, the hostess should be asked to bring this about.
INTRODUCTIONS BY CHAPERONES. At entertainments both the chaperone and her protege should enter together, and the chaperone should introduce her protege to the hostess.
WOMEN CALLING UPON. When calling formally upon a hostess, a woman should leave a card, whether the hostess was at home or not.
When a son enters society, his mother, when calling, can leave his cards for him, and invitations to entertainments will follow. If it is impossible for him to leave cards for himself she may continue to do so.
WOMEN LEAVING CARDS ON. When a mother leaves her daughter's card, it is for the hostess only.
