When an invitation specifies the hour,
every effort should be made to be punctual.
It is impolite to be too early or too late.

At a formal call, when others are present,
a man should not be seated unless invited to
do so. He should leave as others come in,
and not remain longer than ten or fifteen
minutes.

A man having a card or letter of introduction
to a young woman should present it in
person to the chaperone. If she is out, he
should mail it to her, and she should at once
notify him whether he may call.

If a caller is a stranger to the young
woman's hostess, he should send his card to
the latter and ask to see her.

The chaperone may, if desirable, give a
man permission to call upon the woman
under her charge.

A man should not call upon an unmarried
woman until invited by her to do so. He
may ask a married woman who has a family
for permission to call.
