When Women Should Rise

IN receiving an introduction to a man or woman, should a woman rise and remain standing until the others are seated?

The hostess, on any occasion, rises for an introduction, unless she is much older than those whom she is receiving. A man must always rise for an introduction. Under ordinary circumstances, a woman does not rise for an introduction either to a man or a woman, unless the person introduced is much older than herself or is particularly distinguished, in which case it would be correct to honor his or her presence by rising.— Woman's Home Companion.
