woman, and if she does not specify the time,
will naturally be considered as an act of
courtesy, but not as an invitation.

These invitations should be given with great
care by young women. It is better to have
the invitation extended by her mother or
chaperone.

A married woman may ask a man to call,
especially if she have unmarried daughters.
An afternoon tea is an appropriate time to
specify. A man may ask a married woman
who has a family for permission to call.

At the beginning of a season, a man who
desires the further acquaintance of a woman
should leave his card in person for all the
members of the family.

A formal call, or the first call of the season,
should, mot last longer than ten or fifteen
minutes. It is proper for the man to inquire
for all the women of the family.

A man should call only on "At Home"
days, unless especially invited to come at
other times. The hostess should be home on
all "At Home" days, unless sickness or
other good cause prevents.
