ETIQUETTE AND BUSINESS.
While Business Woman Is Exempt
from Certain Formalihes. She Is
Expected 20 Observe Some.

ihe rightly governing the code %
manners for the polite world has had %
be considerably altered since the advent
OF the business woman. for. Gesnite her
long hours OF work. she often holds "A
certain position in society. but she is ex-
empt from certain formalities. The
business woman is not entirely freed
from social duties as is the American
business man, and some few observances
OF the ceremonieS OF convention stilI ara
expected of her but she is not tied down
10 severe rules as is the case with her
Idle sister. says Margaret Hubbard
Ayres. IN the New York World.
The business woman who is az work
all day long must Of necessity be exempt
from formal social calls. such as should
ne paid between the hours OF and $50
IN the afternoon. for IL is always as
sumed that she is busy during these
hours excepting ON Sunday.
She reserves Sunday for calls of pleas
ure. rather than ceremony.
The business woman invited 10 din
ner cannot always pay her dinner call
on her hostess within the prescribed
time. She therefore sends a note OF
thanks within a couple of days after tho
dinner
Notes are frequently substituted by
the woman for personal calls and II is
necessary for her TO have her dainty sta
tionery free from the slightest trace or
suggestion Of her profession.
Great puncmality in the matter of her
notes or appreciation excuses the busi-
ness woman from calls and visits that
she has not the time to attend to.
She can keep IN touch with her world
through these graceful missives and az
the same time courteously furnish ex-
cuses Tor any seeming delinquency.
There are many occasions when the
business woman can only send cards in
stead OF leaving them in person.
Inc business woman also sends cards
TO her Intimate friends and to those TO
whom she is under obligations. announc-
ing the change in her home address.
The business woman observes the
same rule as a man in never confounding
her business with her personal card.
which should only bear her home ad-
dress.
The business woman also sends her
card with a few words of inquiry or good
feeling In the case Of some illness or mis-
fortune which may have befallen an ac-
quaintance.
The business woman observes a GER
tain amountof formality in her business
relations; thus, she does not send in a
! card with her personal address when
making business call on a man: nor
does she shake hands with a business
acquaintance unless he is also a per-
sonal friend.
