Being Bromide do You Ever Say Now
 That You0e Found the Way Do Come and Call on Me- and Not Mean Word of 1t?

each ether as often as we choose but as matter of fact all the women I asso- cate with are shameessly negligent when it comes U old-fa shioned calling. Formal calling has gone out with horse-hair fur nitlre and Janice Meredith curls. Sucn tt thing as conforming to any established rule is a thing unknown today. The stock phrase, Now, do come and call on me- : or. Do just run in any time and see me, ? indicates, to be Sure cordial feeling, but like charity it covers a multitude of social sins
 Its this way" she continued, If a woman happens to be in the neighborhool of some one whom she knows and has d half hour to spare she may drop in,' just to kill time. It is a casual happening "a ather than a considered courtesy, and if the person called upon happens to be al home she usually sends word that she is out, or begs to be excused or if as in the good old days when they had an aft4 ernoon at home. they can never resist the temptation of accepting an invitation if it falls upon that day"
 Another thing she said and tha worst of all is that they rarely return the call, and if they do it is such agea afterward that it plainly indicates (sId most unflatteringy, too the indifference with which they regard 6the coy tesy. Hence, as natural conseGueiecs siscour- aged acquaintances, especially strangers, give up in despair and content themselves with seeing their friends at the various parties they attend
 "The real interpretation of Now, do come and call on me- is just this" said the woman in conclusion, be sure and att tend the next club meeting, or church so. ciety, or card club, and I'll be delighted to see you That's the story in a nut shell.'
