YOUNG GIRLS CARDS


THE time honored rule still holds good
among conservative people that
the visiting card OF the mother should
bear her name and those OF her daugh-
ters. and this not only while the latter
are in their teens. but as long as their
mother finds herself equal to taking
them out. and when she ceases 20 be

OF their own 10 come into force
The opposite Is the case In surround
ings where the daughters take differ
ont position IN life from that occupied
by their parents and move In a different
circle In consequence Their mothers
have probably lived a retired home life
and have confined their visiting TO
their own immediate relatives. The
daughters. on tho other hand. have
made friends with girls OF their own
age az school. at golf. az croquet and
tennis clubs and have enjoyed many
social advantages from so doing.
There could be no question under those
conditions whether they should OF
should not have cards OF their own. II
is a foregone conclusion. and when they
call on the friends they have made and
at the houses whore they have been en-
tertained they must leave cards bear
ing their name and address upon them
II is different when a girls mother
who formerly went into society has be-
come an invalid In this case the
daughters names still remain on their
mothers cards. and they can leave
them when calling upon their friends
