DRESS
FOR
MORNING
VISITS--A
lady
should
never
receive
her
morning
callers
in
a
wrapper,
unless
they
call
at
an
unusually
early
hour,
or
some
unexpected
demand
upon
her
time
makes
it
impossible
to
change
her
dress
after
breakfast.
On
the
other
hand,
an
elaborate
costume
before
dinner
is
in
excessively
bad
taste.
The
dress
should
be
made
to
fit
the
figure
neatly,
finished
at
the
throat
and
wrists
by
an
embroidered
collar
and
cuffs,
and,
unless
there
is
a
necessity
for
it,
in
loss
of
the
hair
or
age,
there
should
be
no
cap
or
head
dress
worn.
A
wrapper
made
with
handsome
trimming,
open
over
a
pretty
white
skirt,
may
be
worn
with
propriety;
but
the
simple
dress
worn
for
breakfast,
or
in
the
exercise
of
domestic
duties,
is
not
suitable
for
the
parlor
when
receiving
visits
of
ceremony
in
the
morning.
EVENING
DRESS--The
home
evening
dress
should
be
varied
according
to
circumstances.
If
no
visitor
is
expected,
the
dress
worn
in
the
morning
is
suitable
for
the
evening;
but
to
receive
visitors,
it
should
be
of
lighter
material,
and
a
light
head-dress
may
be
worn.
For
young
ladies,
at
home,
ribbon
or
velvet
are
the
most
suitable
materials
for
a
head-dress.
Flowers,
unless
they
be
natural
ones
in
summer,
are
in
very
bad
taste,
excepting
in
cases
where
a
party
of
invited
guests
are
expected.
Dark
silk
in
winter,
and
thin
material
in
summer,
make
the
most
suitable
dresses
for
evening,
and
the
reception
of
the
chance-guests
ladies
in
society
may
usually
expect.
