STANDARD RULES
OF ETIQUETTE

Question: How long should
formal call last?
Answer: Twenty minutes is the
prescribed time for a formal call,
but of course, if the hostess urges,
the caller may remain longer. II
the caller finds her visit inoppor-
tune, she will tactfully cut it snort.
In a home where the servant is in
attendance at the door, this diff
flculty will not occur, since the
servant merely will say that the
hostess is not at home.
Question: Does the hostess rise
to receive caller?
Answer: If the hostess is an ell
derly woman and the caller, a
a young woman, or if the hostess
is seated behind her tea table, she
does not rise, but merely extends
her hand in greeting. The hostess
rises to receive q man only when he
is very old or very distinguished.
