14 Encyclopedia of Etiquette at the hostess's request or has shown her any other trifling civility, should she bow to him on leaving, or when meeting him elsewhere? In answer to such natural doubts and queries, it is only necessary to say that a woman does not bow to a man of whose name she is ignorant and to whom she has not been carefully introduced. If on a first casual meeting, when no direct introduction was made, she has found him agreeable, she may, on some future occasion, ask that he be formally pre­sented to her. If no conversation has taken place between women who have been slightly or formally introduced, there is no obligation for either subsequently to recognize the other. The same rule holds between men and between a man and a woman. If on the strength of a semi-introduction, women in conversation develop a liking for each other or discover that they have a friendship in common, either of them may, as they part, offer her hand saying, It is a great pleasure to have met you; and thereafter they should bow to each other and con-verse when meeting.
