OPEN-AIR INTRODUCTIONS POINTS OF ETIQUETTE.
If when walking with a friend you meet another friend and stop to speak to him, it is not at all necessary to introduce the two men to each other. Your first friend should stroll on a few paces and wait for you to rejoin him. Of course, if you have reason for supposing that they would like to know each other, then an introduction may be made. If your two friends are ladies, on no account should you attempt to make them known to each other, unless you have the strongest possible reason for feeling sure that they would like to be introduced. When introduced to a lady in the street, don’t hold out your hand unless, of course, she offers to shake hands first—just raise your hat and bow slightly.—B. H. Hill.
