The Ladies' Book of Etiquette, and Manual of Politeness

When
a
gentleman
calls
in
the
morning
he
will
not
remove
his
outside
coat,
and
will
hold
his
hat
in
his
hand.
Never
offer
to
take
the
latter,
and
do
not
invite
him
to
remove
his
coat.
Take
no
notice
of
either
one
or
the
other.
If
strangers
in
the
city
call
upon
you,
enquire
at
what
hotel
they
are
staying,
and
how
long
they
will
be
there,
that
you
may
return
their
call
before
they
leave
town.
CHAPTER
X.
MORNING
RECEPTIONS
OR
CALLS.
ETIQUETTE
FOR
THE
CALLER.
The
usual
hours
for
paying
morning
calls
are
between
eleven
and
two,
or
twelve
and
three,
and
all
calls
of
ceremony
should
be
made
between
these
hours.
Never,
in
paying
a
ceremonious
call,
stay
more
than
twenty
minutes,
or
less
than
ten.
If
your
hostess
has
several
other
visitors
at
the
same
time
that
you
are
in
her
parlor,
make
your
visit
short,
that
she
may
have
more
attention
to
bestow
upon
others.
After
you
have
received
an
invitation
to
a
party,
call
within
a
week
or
fortnight
after
the
evening,
whether
you
have
accepted
or
declined
the
invitation.
If
you
have
declined
on
account
of
mourning,
the
excuse
extends
also
to
the
call.
When
the
servant
answers
your
ring,
hand
in
your
card.
If
your
friend
is
out
or
engaged,
leave
the
card,
and
if
she
is
in,
send
it
up.
Never
call
without
cards.
You
may
offend
your
friend,
as
she
may
never
hear
of
your
call,
if
she
is
out
at
the
time,
and
you
trust
to
the
memory
of
the
servant.
