Saint Valentine’s Day is celebrated on February 14 of each year. On

Also in the 1700’s, unmarried women pinned five bay leaves to their

pillows on the eve of Valentine’s Day. They pinned one leaf to the center

of the pillow and one to each corner. If the charm worked, they saw their

future husbands in their dreams.

One of the oldest customs was the practice of writing women’s

names on slips of paper and drawing them from a jar. The woman

whose name was drawn by a man became his valentine, and he paid

special attention to her.

In the United States and Canada, children exchange valentines with

their friends. In some schools, the children hold a classroom party and

put all the valentines into a box they have decorated. At the end of the

day, the teacher or one child hands out the cards. Many children make

their own valentines from paper slips, red paper, wallpaper samples,

and pictures cut from magazines. Many children send their largest,

fanciest cards to their parents and teachers.

Part Five Social Etiquette

Bidding farewell to guests mark’s the end of a tour guide’s

services. Wherever it is arranged to be, it is of equal importance to the

greetings and should be conducted with sincerity. If anything

undesirable happens at the last minutes, it may ruin the entire

experience of a tour. Therefore a qualified tour guide should be

thoughtful and enthusiastic throughout his service and try to make the

farewell impressive and everlasting.

Etiquette of Farewell


Part Five Social Etiquette

A farewell speech, formal of informal, is often necessary. The

contents of the speech depend on very often the special features of a

specific group, but the speech is usually flooded with beautiful memories

and good wishes.

There might be some inadequacies in the service, and it is always

wise to make apologies for the service and to invite criticism for

improvements. Evaluation forms should be given out before your guests’

departure.
