WHAT'S WHAT
By HELEN DECIE

Modern calling is by no means the
complicated problem set forth In obso.
lete manuals Of etiquette. Nowadays
the old time duty of paying calls has
simpliied itself almost TO the vanishing
point.
Twentieth century life has so many
more important interests for women
that there 10 neither time nor inclination
for the routine of formal calling once
deemed essential to social life. Women
meet verywhere now; at clubs, and at
political and social service assemblies,
as we'll as at the dances and theatre
parties given and returned by congenial
groups. II Is more considerate to make
calls on the appointed ''at-home" day
than to come unexpectedly and perhaps
at a time when the hostess Is about TO
go out. In. case OF this sort the
caller shouId not rema In, but should
leave her card and depart promptly. One
old convention has not changed; "a
card is a call" always. The pour prem
Dire conge, or going-away card Is seldom
used nowadays, although some persons
still make a point of writing p, p. G,
on their visiting cards before they de-
part for any prolonged absence.
