In the absence of "At Home" days, or
specified time, calls may be received at any
proper hour, according to the locality of the
place.

When men make a formal call at other than
specified time, the hostess may justly excuse
herself. The caller would have no ground
for offense.

Intimate friends need not hold to formal
hours for paying calls.

Men of leisure should call only at fashionable
hours--from two to five in the afternoon.

Evening calls should not be made by other
than business or professional men, unless the
acquaintance be an intimate one, or unless
they are specially invited.

Business and professional men may call between
eight and nine o'clock, as their obligations
prevent them from observing the fashionable
hours.

Informal calls may be made on Sunday
after three o'clock by business and professional
men, provided there are no religious or other
