As to Calling

After you have received hospitality from any of your friends you should hasten to acknowledge it by a call.
 A call of this kind should always be made as soon after the entertainment as possible.
 After ball or dinner party the call should always be returned within a week. If it has been a very formal en- tertainment, cards can be left instead the day after. In the case of a dinner you should ask if the mistress of the house is at home, even if you call the next day.
 You must always call after a-large re- ception, private theatricals or an am- ateur concert, and you should call just the same if you have not been able to accept the invitation sent you.
 You must never dream of leaving call of this kind unpaid after a week or ten days at latest. It shows not only rudeness to your hostess, but also be- trays ignorance of the usages of good society.
 In the case of bachelor being invited to an entertainment he should leave a card for the hostess and a card for the host a week or ten days after he has been to their house.
 The cards must be left whether he has been able to be present or not at the entertainment.
 If your hostess has an "at home' day, care should be taken to call on the first of these "at home' days that occur aft CT you have received her hospitality.
 If new acquaintance invites you to the house to an entertainment, you should be careful to make your call within as few days as possible. It shows greater politeness.

however. He said that he had but two
lectures outside of his Fourth of July
and Christmas lectures, the latter of
which for stated reasons, he did not
desire to give. OF the two remaining,
one would occupy five hours, and as he
must catch the one O'clock train it
could not be delivered. The other
would only occupy three hours, and

but it wasn't. He delivered it all right.
