Etiquette says don’t rise when man introduced
Poor Mabel! So eager to make a good impression! Instead, her ignorance of the etiquette of introduction surprises this young man – to say the least!
A woman never rises when a man is introduced unless he’s an especially distinguished person, or presented by a much older woman. She always rises when introduced to a much older woman. If she’s hostess she rises for all introductions. A man always rises unless at the theatre or any place where rising would be awkward.
The general rule for introductions is to present a man to a woman, the younger person to the older.
And what to say at introductions? Our 32 page booklet gives these and other important details of etiquette. It’s a guide to popularity through good manners at parties, dinners, dances and other public places.
