Proper Number Of Cards.
Authorities differ on the number OF
cards to be left. When one woman is
calling On another she must leave her
1 own for the lady of the house and two
/ of her husband if there is a man OF the
house. For example. at the White
House the wife Of an ambassador would
leave two Of her cards-One for Mrs.
/ Roosevelt and one for Miss Roosevelt.
She would leave three OF her husband
-one for the President and two for the
/ ladies of the White House. To leave a
card for Miss Roosevelt is "a special
mark of courtesy. Were she not the
daughter of the President the best au-
thorities I'm Washington are almost

behind this ruling is very sound. For
