man who is to have the pleasure of the first
       dance with the debutante at her debut.  No
       man should dance more than once with the
       debutante.  If well acquainted with the
       family, a man may send flowers to a debutante
       at the time of her first debut.  A man
       should make a formal call on mother and
       daughter a day or two after her debut, and,
       if unable to do so, he should send a card.

  Debut.  When her mother receives visits after
       her debut, the daughter is included, and
       should be present.  The mother should keep
       a complete record of the visits made by entering
       the cards in a book kept for that purpose.

Flowers.  Friends should send flowers to a debutante
at a formal tea given in her honor.

Men.  When calling upon a debutante, a man
should leave cards for her and her mother,
whether the entertainment was attended or
not.

         See also debuts.

Debuts.  A debut may be made at a dinner,
       reception, or ball.  The debutante’s card
       should be enclosed with the invitation, reading: 
       Miss Wilson; or, if a younger daughter,
       Miss Minnie Wilson.  For an “At
       Home” debut, the least formal of all these
       entertainments, the name of the debutante is
       engraved below that of her mother.

The mother and elder unmarried sisters prior to the debut should call formally upon those whom they wish to invite to the ceremony.  Cards of the family are left, including those of father and brothers.

  Balls—­invitations.  When a young woman is
       to be introduced into society by a ball given
       in her honor, the parents may use a Mr. and
       Mrs. calling card, with the words added in
       writing:  Dancing at ten o’clock, with card of
       the debutante enclosed.

       Or the parents may use a specially engraved
       invitation.

  Cards, leaving.  At the entertainments at a
       debut, as at a supper, cards should be left for
       the mother and daughter, and if guests are
       unable to be present, they should send them
       the day of the entertainment.

  Entertainments.  Debuts may be an “At
       Home,” supper, or dinner, the latter being
       more formal, and only intimate friends being
       invited.  When making her debut, the debutante
       should stand beside her mother in the
       drawing-room, near the door, and be introduced
       by her.  On formal occasions the
       father stands with them.  The debutante
       may receive flowers from intimate friends
       only.

  At homes.  These are the least formal.
