and their guest.
Men of leisure should leave their own cards, while business men can have them left by the women of the family. The corner of the card should not be turned down. Cards are now left in the hall by the servant and the caller is announced. In business calls the card is taken to the person for whom the caller asked. When calling, a man should leave a card whether the hostess is at home or not. P. P. C. card's may be left in person or sent by mail upon departure from city, or on leaving winter or summer resort. When a man calls upon a young woman whom a hostess is entertaining, he should leave cards for both. When a man calls upon another man, if he is not at home, he should leave a card. When a man calls on the hostess but not the host he should leave a card for him. |
