morning until night the women went
back and forth making calls.
The hostesses, those who remained
In the house, were the elderly mem
bers of the household and the young
ones. There is a story told of how
the aristocratic women of Tarrytown
decorated their homes for ladies' day,
and how Washington Irving on that
day was included in the list of stay
at-homes. While the ladies' were maxi
ing their round of calls they dropped
in upon the literary recluse, who was
allowed to rank with the elderly ma
irons on ladies' day.
Young matrons with young babies
were the hostesses on ladies' day as
well as the old ladies, and so It hap
pened that q goodly number remained
at home, while q goodly number also
went abroad.
In these days ladies' day has disap-
peared to a great extent. but ladies'
week has taken it's place. During the
first week of the new year all women
who want to be included in the fash
ionable set must get out and call upon
their neighbors. From house to house
they must go, stopping in a minute,
then trotting on to make the next call.
Twenty calls of an afternoon is none
too few.
