CARD ETIQUETTE
The significance of a card is always considered by well-bred men and women, and its fitness to the occasion is an expression of its owner's individuality; in fact, the card is the beginning and the end of etiquette-the introduction and the. farewell.
A written name should never be used unless the bearer's formal cards are be -. yond reach.
Ladies' visiting cards should be nearly square, fine in texture, flexible and of a soft white. Changes in form of course occur, but these are the characteristics for those who respect good form.
It is imperative that Mrs. or Miss should be placed before the name upon the engraved card.
It is proper to use the husband's complete name. Initials are seldom seen.
During a young girl's first season in society her name is engraved upon ber mother's card. If she is the eldest unmarried daughter she is appended as Miss Smith, otherwise her full name is given with the prefix of Miss.
When two daughters enter society together it is proper for them to be men- tioned upon their mother's card together, thus.
MRS. JAMES SMITH THE MISSES SMITH
Afternoon tea cards are sent a week or ten days in advance of the date upon them.
To send a card without calling signifies inability to call in person.
Acceptances or regrets should be sent as soon as possible after receiving in- vitations.
"Party Calls" should be made within one week after date of the party.
Invitations in your city can be sent either by mail or messenger as preferred.
The visiting cards of gentlemen are shorter and slightly narrower than those. at present used by ladies. "Mr." should be prefixed to the name.
859
CARD ETIQUETTE
Any lady wishing to inform her friends of the presence of a lady visiting her family should enclose her visitor's card with her own, in the same envelope.
When cards of introduction are given, the name of the bearer should be written above that of the giver, prefixed by the word "Introducing", and the card placed in an envelope addressed to the person to whom the introduction is made. An invitation to dine should be answered on the day received.
It is always courteous to acknowledge the receipt of an "At Home" card. A visiting card should always be left when attending an "At Home." Any invitation requesting your presence requires an answer.
CARD ETIQUETTE FOR CHURCH WEDDINGS
Cards to a church or home wedding, followed by a reception, need no written answer if the recipient proposes to attend, unless bearing the letters R. S. V. P.
When attendance at a church wedding is impossible, cards must be sent the day of the marriage directed to those from whom the invitation comes.
If present at the church it is polite to send a card or cards to those who invite.
CARD ETIQUETTE IN WASHINGTON
Questions are asked concerning the requirements that the official element demands in Washington, and some knowledge of the etiquette of that city is necessary.
The President has absolute precedence. He receives visits-returns none.
He is addressed as Mr. President.
Any invitation extended by the President is equivalent to a command.
There was a question as to who should pay the first visit, the Cabinet officer or the Senator.
Many yield this point to the Senate. The families of Senators are in Wash- ington for a short time, while the residence of the Cabinet is fixed.
The wives of the United States Senators will hereafter call upon the wives of Foreign AMBASSADORS, while the wives of Foreign MINISTERS will make the first call upon the wives of Senators.
In all society, official or otherwise, the clergy take a signal position, and should always be accorded the place of honor, when present.
CARDS FOR BALLS
Note sheets are used for private balls, and the engraved invitation is in the same form as for any evening party ..
Cards of ceremony must be left within a week.
860
BOSTON BLUE BOOK 1923
If a lady is "at home" on a certain day, cards must be left on that day and no other.
Exceptional occasions of course require exceptional cards; for such there can be no fixed rules.
WHEN TO DROP THE JR.
When a father dies leaving a son of the same name the son should omit the Jr. from his visiting card. To be correct his wife should do likewise, but as con- fusion sometimes arises because of the mother and wife having the same name the wife often prefers to keep the Jr.
INFANTS' CARDS
It is a pleasing custom to send a small card announcing the birth of a child.
The full name is on the card, also the date of its birth in the lower left hand corner.
It is enclosed with the parents' card, to which it is daintily ribboned.
A visit of acknowledgment is usual. If not possible a card is sent, with "Congratulations" written upon the upper left hand corner.
WEDDING ANNIVERSARIES

LINEN-Twelve years married.
CRYSTAL-Fifteen years married.
CHINA-Twenty-years married. SILVER-Twenty-five years married. GOLDEN-Fifty years married.
DIAMOND-Seventy-five years married

A charge of 10 cents for each three minutes may be made. But no charge shall be made for time lost through interruption of street traffic or through the inefficiency of the vehicle or its driver, or for time between pre- mature arrival in response to a call and the hour for which the vehicle was ordered.
No charge shall be made for a distance less than one mile traversed by a vehicle sent in response to a call, but for a greater distance a charge of 20 cents a mile may be made for each mile or fraction of a mile in excess of the first mile.
When a vehicle is dismissed at a point more than two miles distant from the place at which it was engaged, or from the place in which it was when called, a charge of 20 cents a mile may be made for each mile or fraction of a mile in excess of such two miles.
Baggage-Hand baggage may be carried by passengers without charge. The carriage of trunks shall be optional with the person in charge of the vehicle, but if carried the charge shall be 25 cents for each trunk.
Ferry tolls will be paid by passengers.
By the Hour-When a motor taxicab is hired by the hour or for a trip wholly or in part outside the limits of the city of Boston, the person in charge may suspend, with the consent of the passen6er, the use of the taximeter as a means of determining the price to be paid, and the motor taxicab shall come tempo- rarily under the provisions of that part of this rule which relate to charges for automobiles.
Automobiles-The authorized fare for automobiles other than motor taxi- cabs shall be the same as for horse-drawn hackney carriages. This rule shall not be deemed to apply, however, to automobiles when hired by the hour or for a trip wholly or in part outside the limits of the City of Boston. This rule shall apply to automobiles hired at a garage as well as to those hired in the public streets. The rule as to baggage for motor taxicabs shall apply also to auto- mobiles.
