Saint Valentine’s Day is celebrated on February 14 of each year. On
this day lovers all around the world mark this occasion as a day for
sending poems, cards, flowers or candy, etc. there might also be a social
gathering or dancing parties to mark the occasion.
Englishwomen of the 1700’s wrote men’s names on scraps of paper,
rolled each in a little piece of clay, and dropped them all into water.
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
Etiquette of Farewell
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.
www.themegallery.com
LOGO
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.
