If
you
are
obliged
to
leave
the
company
at
an
earlier
hour
than
the
other
guests,
say
so
to
your
hostess
in
a
low
tone,
when
you
have
an
opportunity,
and
then
stay
a
short
time
in
the
room,
and
slip
out
unperceived.
By
a
formal
leave-taking,
you
may
lead
others
to
suppose
the
hour
later
than
it
is
in
reality,
and
thus
deprive
your
hostess
of
other
guests,
who,
but
for
your
example,
would
have
remained
longer.
French
leave
is
preferable
to
a
formal
leave-taking
upon
such
occasions.
If
you
remain
until
the
usual
hour
for
breaking
up,
go
to
your
hostess
before
you
leave
the
room,
express
the
pleasure
you
have
enjoyed,
and
bid
her
farewell.
Within
the
next
week,
you
should
call
upon
your
hostess,
if
it
is
the
first
party
you
have
attended
at
her
house.
If
she
is
an
intimate
friend,
the
call
should
be
made
within
a
fortnight.
