Etiquette of Introductions.

Young wo men when introduced tc
young men should not offer to shake
hands.
When an. introduction is given the
name should be pronounced In clear,
distinct tone.
1t is bad fotm to introduce on the
street or in any place of amusement.
Introductions should not be given
either at home or in society unless per-
mission is asked.
In the introduction of elderly people
the younger should be introduced to
the elder-not the reverse.
The form of making an introduction
is the following: Mrs, allow me
to present Mr." or "Mrs. A., Mr..
B. desires the honor of knowing you. 81
Two ladies can shake hands on be-
ing introduced. 1t is considered good
form.
A hostess should always extend her
hand to stranger when brought to
her house for the first time.
At a dinner party the hostess intro
duces to the lady the gentleman who
is to take her in to dinner.
At lawn parties introductions are
freely given.
At a large reception the hostess, as a
rule, cannot introduce. She is too
busy receiving her friends. In this
case the "roof introduction is sufficient.
|. In walking or driving parties intro
ductions should be given by the eldest
member of the party.
1t is the duty of the hostess to see
that her guests are acquainted.
At large social affairs, such Ms the
dance, chaperons often ask young men
it they will he presented to the young
women under their charge.
A clever hostess always introduces
shy people. At all social functions
very young people should be presented
-"for their pleasure depends on their
introductiors."
In presenting strangers the hostess
should say something that would be
an aid to future conversation.
All introductions should be given in
simple manner. A lady introducing
her husband should say ''Mr.-" If
he has title give it to him, as Colonel
B. or DR.. A.
