1t Is proper to call after every In
vitat.on, and it is considered discour-

luncheon. These last visits should be
made in person, especially the dinner
CALL within one or two weeks.
In New York city, with its immense
distances, it is impossible for many
busy men to carry out this rule, espe-
cially where they are much in demand
as dinner guests. If it is first in
vitation a society man will make a
special effort to pay the necessary
dinner call within a week or fortnight.
When he is unableto do so he will
send cards and call as soon as he has
leisure, or he will perhaps send flow
erS.
While it is becoming the custom in
the metropolis for men to send cards
through the mail, bachelors are ex-
pected to make personal calls also
upon those who have entertained them
as we'll as upon their intimate
friends.
