ADVICE ON SOCIAL CUSTOMS

IN departing. it is unnecessary to intro
duce him to others.
At a private dance the guests are
introduced by a hostess TO the daughter
or friend who is helping her to receive
and, as the opportunities occur, as many
introductions should be made as pos
sible. At large balls it is proper to Sc
cure the permission of the woman be-
fore man is presented.
On day at home the guests who are
near at hand are introduced by the one
who receives. but at a large reception
the hostess must not leave her place to
make introductions. She presents a
newly arrived guest to the one beside
her.
Keep in mind the comfort of your
friends. The best guide is the consider
alton of other peoples feelings. This.
added to clear idea of the customs of
well-bred people. will always solve the
difficulties that may present themselves.

The next exercise is especially de-
