ETIQUETTE.
THEATRE DRESS. : "Which is
considered the more proper, a tuxedo
or a dress suit for a week-end visit
to a yourg lady's house in Xew York,
probably a theatre party anions' other
thir-irs? If a tiLsuedo looks best on
rae, is it proper to wear it upon such
occasion? Is a siik hat necessary?"
(Answer.) If you figure-on goinrj
merely to the theatre and to din
der, a dinner-coat (which used to be
called a tuxedo) is quite proper. If a
more formal social assemblage is in
prospect, you would desire a dress
suit. The dress suit always is proper
and is the safer garment to carry, if
you are in any doubt. Many people in
New York now wear a soft felt hat
with evening dress, although of
course a silk hat is more dressy.
The crush hat (so-called "opera
hat"') is very little worn.
PRESENTS OF JEWELRY. "I
noted what you recently printed
about a woman not receiving pres
ents of jewelry from any man except
the one she is engaged to marry.
But isn't a girl entitled to receive
valuable presents from a man as soon
as they are engaged to be married?"
(Answer.) ..Ouiy her engagement
ring. She is not supposed to accept
other gifts of jewelry even from her
finance until just before their mar
riage. AT AFTERNOON TEA. "What is
a suitable menu for a woman to
serve her friends for afternoon tea
when they are being entertained by
her?"
(Answer.) Avoid anything elab
orate. Tea or chocolate, sandwiches,
cake and perhaps bonbons should
suffice ordinarily.
