While I appreciated your helpful hints about name pronunciation and reminders, and we all can use that help, can we not? What I MOST admired here was the lost art of the social hierarchy of introductions. I grew up in the Northeast where things are more formal. Indeed, as it is a touch in The South and in TEXAS! It really is not in California where I lived for years nor in Nevada where I reside now. Oh, but the social nicety of it! It makes my heart go pitter pat when a gentleman introduces another gentleman first uttering the phrase, “May I introduce….?” Because it is the lady’s prerogative. For various protection reasons for her older more formal “reputation.” Still it is lovely. Like when a gentleman stands or does the gesture of a half stand when a lady leaves the table.

I thoroughly love the social niceties of life. They are a social glue.
