Greeting visitors.  When an hour of arrival
       is specified in an invitation, the guest
       should be met at the station, especially an
       unmarried woman, by the hostess or host. 
       In case of married couples or bachelors, a
       man servant may meet them.

       In all cases the hostess should arrange for
       the conveyance of both the guests and their
       luggage.

       A hostess accompanies a woman to the
       guest chamber, but sends a man servant
       with a bachelor to the latter’s room.

  Invitations.  These should state definitely
       when a visit is to begin and to end.  It is
       also a good plan to allude in the invitation
       to any special amusement or entertainment.

       These invitations should be answered
       promptly.

  Men—­dress.  A man should carry with him
       one business suit, evening clothes, and one
       outing suit suitable for afternoon entertainments
       —­as, picnics, tennis, etc.  This is almost
       indispensable, and more depends upon the
       nature of the entertainments and the length
       of the visit.

  Women—­dress.  A woman should take at least
       three changes of dress—­one to travel in and
       wear in the morning, one for evening wear,
       and a third for afternoon picnics, outings,
       etc.  The length of her visit and the nature of
       the entertainments and her individual taste
       determines how much she may increase this.

House of representatives, member of.  An official
       letter begins:  Sir, and ends:  I have, sir, the
       honor to remain your most obedient servant.

       A social letter begins:  My dear Mr. Wilson
       and ends:  I have the honor to remain most
       sincerely yours.

       The address on the envelope is:  Hon.  John
       F. Wilson.

Husband and wife—­cards, visiting.  See cards,
       visiting-husband and wife.

In memoriam cards.  Printed or engraved notes, or
       special cards, can be used, and should be
       heavily bordered.  Custom allows much diversity
       as to the contents of the card.  Place
       and date of birth, residence, date of death,
       and any other information of interest to
       friends and relatives may be given.

Infant’s cards.  The full name of the child should
       be engraved, with date of birth in lower
       left-hand corner, enclosed in envelope with
       mother’s card, and sent by mail.  Such cards
       are generally held together with white ribbon.
