The following code of politeness, as
enunciated by a Pacific coast authority
| for local or other uses, may read like
heresy hereabouts. but practically every
body knows 1t has many followers: You
! do not have to return an invitation to tea
with a formal call. even if you do go to
| the tea and have a glorious time thereat.
rYou don't have to call after a luncheon
| II you happen to meet your hostess a day
| or TWO later and have chance to say
that the lunch was delightful. 1t does
| not matter where you meet her, in a
| hotel parlor, at some other pars
| house, at the theater--it's all the same
Only you must take the opportunity to say
the correct thing II you want to avoid
| the call. New York social authorities
now decree calls only on real occasions
| a death, an engagement or when the new
baby is first on exhibition. Otherwise
notes. chance meetings Or flowers are
quite sufficient and much easier all
round -
