ETIQUETTE
There is no country where there are so many people asking what is "proper to do," or, indeed, where there are Accounts of Women for the so many genuinely anxious to do the proper thing, as in the vast conglomerate which we call the United States of America. The newness of our country is perpetually renewed by the sudden making of fortunes, and by the absence of a hereditary reigning set. There is no aris- tocracy here which has the right and title to set the fashions. We believe the outward and visible signs of Convenient aristocracy are shown in perfect breeding, charm of man- ner, and unfailing courtesy, of which the inward grace is Care of their an instinctive refinement that is not merely a decorative attribute.
But a "reigning set," whether it depend upon heredi- tary right or adventitious wealth, if it be possessed of a desire to lead and a disposition to hospitality, becomes for a period the dictator of fashion to a large number of lookers-on. The traveling world, living far from great, centers, goes to Newport, Saratoga, New York, Washing- ton, Philadelphia, Boston, and gazes on what is called the latest American fashion. This, though exploited by what we may call for the sake of distinction the "newer set," is influenced and shaped in some degree by people of native refinement and taste, and that wide experience which is gained by travel and association with broad and culti- vated minds. They counteract the tendency to vulgarity, which is the great danger to a newly launched society, so that our social condition improves, rather than retro-

grades, with every decade. There is a Council of Trent, we may say, every five years, perhaps even every two years, in our new and changeful country, and we learn that, follow as we may either the grand old etiquette of Eng- land or the more gay and shifting social code of France, we still must make an original etiquette of our own. Our political system alone, where the lowest may rise to the highest preferment, upsets in a measure all that the Old World insists upon in matters of precedence and formality. We must fit our garments to the climate, our manners to our fortunes and to our daily lives.
There are established rules which regulate visiting, the use of cards, the leaving or sending of cards, and when these rules are clearly understood and faithfully followed there is a feeling of satisfaction which relieves the conscience.
Of course one should try to make one or two informal calls on intimate friends during the year. These calls can- not be classed in the more ceremonious visiting which we are considering at the moment, but it should be under- stood that even between intimate friends the code of eti- quette is the same in regard to the acknowledgment of all invitations.
Ceremonious card leaving is obligatory after receiving invitations to a wedding reception, a dinner, luncheon, card party or an evening entertainment, the call to be made and cards left within a week after the event, and whether one has accepted or not. If one has sent a regret one may call before the event.
An invitation to a church wedding requires that cards be sent on the day of the event, or soon after, to those in whose name it was issued and to the newly married pair. This applies also to marriage announcements, but it is

polite to call personally on a bride, within the year if pos- sible, if she is already on one's visiting list.
It is well understood that a married woman leaves her husband's cards with her own-one of her own cards for Transacts a each lady in a family, and one each of her husband's cards for each lady and one for the man of the family. If there are daughters in the household, one card of her husband's may include them. If she has a grown son she may leave two of his cards. These formalities are for the first call of the season. She need not leave her husband's cards in future calls during the year unless he has been the recip- ient of invitations, the courtesy of which must be acknowl- edged, and she may allow her son to attend to his own future calls.
The general rule is that a woman should make a call once a year on friends and acquaintances. One member of a family may leave the cards of others. Cards for an afternoon tea do not require a reply. They indicate merely that a hostess will be at home to her friends, who may come or not as they please. Those who call leave their cards as a reminder to the hostess that they have been present, and may leave the cards of members of their family as an acknowledgment of the invitation. Those who cannot go, or cannot send cards by a member of the family, enclose their cards in small envelopes addressed by hand and sent by mail on the day of the event. If a call is made or cards are sent one's duty is done, and a call afterwards is not required.
When making a first call, or any formal call, cards are left. A lady may give her own card to the servant who opens the door and may lay her husband's card on the hall table in passing. Cards are never handed to the hostess or to any member of the family. A first call

should be returned within a month, at latest. When call- ing on a friend who is visiting those whom one may not know, it is correct to ask for the hostess and leave a card, although she may excuse herself, assuming from courtesy that the guest and her visitor may prefer to be alone. Acceptances or regrets must never be written on cards. It is not in good taste for more than two members of a family to call together. A mother may be accom- panied by one daughter and leave cards of the others.
In social parlance one does not "make calls," one speaks of making or paying "visits"; and one never uses the ex- pression an "at home." It is a "tea." Even the most formal reception is spoken of in this way.
A custom in England which is being adopted here is to write the words, "To inquire," on one's card when one calls on a friend who is ill. A married woman calling to inquire would leave one of her own cards, and occasionally one of her husband's cards if the invalid is a personal friend of the husband as well as her own. The words "To inquire" are written upon a lady's card, unless the invalid is the husband of the lady called upon. In that case the words are written on the husband's card. If the invalid is a daughter in the family called upon, a lady leaves only her own cards. Necessarily cards of inquiry may not be sent by post, as the object is to make per- sonal inquiries of the condition of the invalid. After re- covery from an illness one may call on friends who have left cards, or may send to acquaintances cards with the words "With thanks for kind inquiries."
When going to a hotel to call, one sends up a card by a servant and waits in one of the reception-rooms. One may write on the card the name of the person for whom it is intended.

Invitations and Answers
The form of an invitation usually indicates whether an answer is expected. When the pleasure of one's company is requested, a reply must be sent. There must be no delay in answering an invitation to a dinner, luncheon, home wedding, wedding breakfast, card party, or theatre party. A note of invitation to a dinner requires a written note of reply within twenty-four hours, so that a hostess may know whether she may expect a guest and have time to supply the place should a guest decline. Those who en- tertain often and in a formal manner use a card of invi- tation, engraved in script, with blank spaces in which may be written the name of the guest, the words "at dinner," and the date and hour. The form is:
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Germain request the pleasure of
Company On
At o'clock One hundred Fifth Avenue
If a special event is to follow a dinner, the words in- dicating it are written on the lower left-hand corner of the invitation or across the lower part. The exact form when fully written may be:

If an occasion is in honor of guests, the preferred and courteous form is to begin an invitation with the names of guests:
To meet Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Hall
The general fashion is to write the lines above the en- graved names of host and hostess.
For a very ceremonious occasion, a card engraved for the purpose should be used. When older persons entertain in honor of very young people, as, for example, when par- ents invite guests to meet a bride and bridegroom a form may be:
Mr. and Mrs. William Delafield request the pleasure of your company on Thursday evening, January the eleventh at nine o'clock, to meet Mr. and Mrs. William Delafield, Junior
606 Fifth Avenue R. s. v. p.
A formal invitation to a dinner may be written on note paper instead of engraved on a card.
The word "ball" is never used on invitations. In fact, the word is in disuse in conversation, the terms "cotillion" and "dance" having taken its place. The French words bal poudré are allowable on an invitation, and indicate that guests are expected to wear fancy dress and powdered hair. Invitations to weddings and formal dinners are sent in the name of the host and hostess, but for an afternoon tea they are issued by the hostess alone.
Invitations to dinners and luncheons are, of course, not sent to friends who are in mourning, but invitations to

ETIQUETTE NOTES 243
weddings, receptions, etc., must be sent as a mark of compliment and remembrance, even when it is known that these friends will not accept.
There can be no provisional acceptance of an invita- tion to a luncheon, a dinner or a card party. An invita- tion for a husband and wife must be accepted or declined by both. One should not accept without the other.
Frequently the difficulty with the writer of a reply seems to be in choosing the words in which to write an acceptance or regret. The best course always is to ob- serve very carefully the formula of an invitation and fol- low it precisely in reply. If it is in the third person, the reply must be in the third person; if in the first person it must be answered in the first person.
