and the man who is too busy to acquit himself to this duty will soon find his leisure hours rapidly accuranlating, for no women of breading will evor ask a man the second time to her house who is so grosely ancivil. It is no longer good form for the mothers, vives, and cistors to leave their male relatives' canks with their own.

A well-known unthority says: "Nothing but death or a mortal lines shonki excuse a failure to call personally within five days after accepting an invitation to dine, ut according to the strict roles governing such matters, a wook is the extreme limit you may allow to pass without calling after shy social function to which you have been asked.

They very properly insist upon the observance of every Bocial low and no mau dofies the ethic of god society and escapes unscathed.

Elderly persons, young mother and terary or professional women are exempted from niany social obligations eznoted from others. People in morning should use a black-bordered card and are not expected to pay, visita: for several, months after their bereavement. It'is'do rigour. for friends to leave cards for those in afliction and to leave them in person with an inquiry at the door for the health of the family, leat with and making for aditiazids. It is also customary to call or at least te sesid cards on the announce; ment of a betrothal er after a marriage, or upon the receipt of a marriage announcerent. These cards should, if mailed, be altassed to the bride's mother."
