A married man returns his social obligations
to women by personal calls, or his wife
can do it for him by leaving his card with
her own.

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER. After her debut the
younger of the two daughters has no card of
her own, as her full baptismal name appears
on her mother's card beneath her name. A
year after her first appearance she may have
a card of her own.

When a mother leaves her daughter's card,
it is for the hostess only.

If reception day appear on the mother's
card, the daughters also receive on that date,
as the daughters have no reception days of
their own.

MOTHER AND SON. When a mother is calling,
she can leave cards of her son for the host
and hostess if it is impossible for him to do so
himself.

A son entering society can have his cards
left by his mother upon a host and hostess.
Invitations to entertainments will follow.
