To the citizens of Hanseti-Ruska and honorable invitees below,

 

Their Ladyships, Juliya and Georgina Baruch, are pleased to announce the date of their joint Hauchmetvas, to take place at the Castle of Lichtestadt in the Duchy of Valwyck. The pair look forward to the day upon which they shall celebrate their coming of age, and are excited to carry on family traditions, as well as implement some of their own.

I. WREATH BESTOWMENT

 

First carried out by Viscountess-Consort Eleanora Amador, cousin to Lady Georgina and Lady Juliya, the pair of ladies shall be bestowed with wreaths of flowers to celebrate their coming of age. Lady Georgina shall receive a wreath of violets, sunflowers, and oleander to represent her modesty and humility, vitality, and gracefulness in the beginning of her life as a young woman. Lady Juliya shall receive a wreath of poppies, aster, and daisies to represent generosity, wisdom, and beauty to wish her well in the beginning of her adulthood.

 

II. UNCLE-NIECE DANCE

 

In place of their father, the Ladies Georgina and Juliya have decided to bestow their first dance as grown women upon their uncle, Duke Ruslan Baruch of Valwyck. The pair shall take turns waltzing with Duke Baruch with the eldest debutante, Juliya, taking the first waltz of the evening. After the Uncle-Niece dances, guests are encouraged to take to the floor.

 

III. THE DEBUT JESTER

 

Their Ladyships are also implementing their own tradition, in which a chosen relative shall be dressed and painted as a jester for the duration of the Hauchmetvas. The chosen relative shall perform at the request of the debuting lady or ladies, and shall be expected to follow instructions to a tee for the duration of the Hauchmetvas. Lady Juliya and Lady Georgina have chosen to allow their cousin, Viktor Baruch, the honor of being their Debut Jester, and shall be expected to appear to the Hauchmetvas in full jester regalia. 

 

IV. THE PARADE OF THE SUITORS

 

After the uncle-niece dances, potential suitors are highly encouraged to present themselves before the pair of ladies should they be looking to offer suit, presenting an appropriate gift to each of the two. Lady Georgina has requested hounds. After said parade, suitors may request to dance with either of the debuting ladies.

 

Any and all interested suitors may present themselves to Viscountess-Consort Eleanora Amador during or in the days after the Hauchmetvas so she might properly vet the prospective partners.

Viscountess Eleanora Amador beams with pride as she reads through the missive, pausing when she reaches the Debut Jester section. "That has Georgina written all over it."

[indiana105 2137]

Viktor Baruch sat in his cramped quarters within the castle of Litchestadt, reading through the missive he held in his hands with a flat expression. Immediately after noticing his appointment as the Debut Jester, he folded the parchment into a neat square and tucked it into his coat. "Fock ye, Georgina Baruch." he muttered, as he pushed himself from his bed. With that, he set off for Providence to find himself a wig and some powder.
