CALLING CARDS

Nothing is so difficult but that 1t may

A WRITER on social usage has

in the countries Of Europe the ell
duette of the calling card is clearly
laid down by social law; in this coun-

If there were but a congress of GUS

slons on which the calling card can

much confusion could be avoided ! AS
this cannot be aone, we can only do
our best with our calling cards, and
trust to luck and instructive good taste

there are.
In some sections of the country it
is customary for newcomers to make

1t is customary for tire old resident to

dance invitation, whether it Is accept
ed or declined.
Call or leave cards after teas, also
unless you are sure that custom of
the neighborhood exempts you from
this duty. In some of the big cities,
among many groups, cards are not re-
quired after teas. But an unnecessary
call or card can never be objected to.
Send cards when it is impossible to
attend tea for which cards have been
sent.
Leave cards or call at the home of
the mother of bride whose wedding
or reception at the house you have at
tended.
Married women leave a card of
their own for each woman Of the
household, a card of their husband for
each married woman and another for
her husband. Young men or bachelors
of any age leave cards for the daugh-
ter of the household and for her
mother.
Here are five "don'ts" about cards !:
Never regret an invitation on a
card. An invitation sent on a card, if
it demands an answer, should be an
swered by note.
Never leave a card without making
a call on any ones day at home.
Do not return first calls by card
alone unless the hostess is not home
when you call. In that case a I, ard

Never have anything put on the card
but the name, address and, X Nan ed,
