They are as much entitled to recogni'

FROM WOMANS
POINT OF VIEW

I am always glad TO answer questions
when I can-and give any interested party
the benefit OF my experience. but I must
ask indulgence when answers are not as
prompt as desired. Letters are answered
IN turn, and some OF them require time
spent IN obtaining information: also, oc-
casional letters go astrGy. as I know
from my personal. intimate correspond
ence. Then again. stamped and addressed
envelopes insure better attention than
letters less carefully prepared.
Sometimes I open letters 10 find that
the desired information would be too late.
That happens when social functions are
looming In the near future and somebody
has met a puzzling situation. Generally
such letters ask for information on the
subject OF visiting cards or notes OF ac-
ceptance or regret. There are only a few
rules governing the etiquette OF such oc-
casIons, but they are important Every
woman should know them. even though
she has no occasion for such knowledge.
We learn a good deal which IS never put
70 account. you know.

which is returned I'm like manner. and
then the acquaintance IS purely a matter
OF individual choice. The demands Of
etiquette have been met. Cards are con-
venient things even after terms OF init
macy have been established. for they
serve as reminders Of visits which might
be forgotten or might never be known.
The wise woman carries cards with her
wherever she goes. for there are many
uses for them. Nowadays she carries
shopping cards also, and saves time and
trouble when she makes purchases. A
neatly engraved card is always in good
taste, even when not strictly up to style,
