The Ladies' Book of Etiquette, and Manual of Politeness
·
Florence Hartley
74
In
cases
where,
from
long
illness
or
other
infirmity,
a
gentleman
friend
is
confined
entirely
to
his
room,
you
may,
with
perfect
propriety,
call
upon
him.
It
is
both
polite
and
kind
to
do
so,
as
otherwise
he
would
be
deprived
entirely
of
the
society
of
his
lady
friends.
Many
thus
unfortunately
situated,
from
study
and
reading
while
so
shut
out
from
the
world,
become
the
most
delightful
companions.
If,
when
you
make
a
call,
you
unfortunately
intrude
upon
an
early
dinner
hour,
do
not
go
in,
but
leave
your
card,
and
say
that
you
will
call
again.
If
you
call
upon
two
ladies
who
are
boarding
at
the
same
house,
do
not
send
up
your
card
to
both
at
the
same
time.
If
one
is
out,
send
a
card
to
her
room,
and
then
send
up
for
the
other.
If
the
first
one
is
in,
wait
till
she
comes
down,
and
then
chat
as
long
as
a
call
usually
lasts.
When
you
rise
as
if
to
take
leave,
accompany
your
friend
to
the
parlor
door,
then
tell
her
that
you
are
going
to
send
up
for
your
other
friend.
She
will
bid
you
good-morning,
and
go
to
her
own
room;
ring
the
bell
after
she
leaves
you,
and
send
your
card
by
the
waiter
to
your
other
friend.
In
calling
at
a
hotel,
enter
by
the
ladies'
door,
and
send
your
card
to
the
room
of
your
friend
by
the
waiter.
It
is
well,
if
you
are
calling
upon
an
entire
stranger,
to
choose
a
seat,
and
tell
the
waiter
to
say
to
the
lady
exactly
where
she
will
find
you.
She
will
probably
enter
with
your
card
in
her
hand;
then
rise,
greet
her
by
name,
and
introduce
yourself.
If
you
speak
to
another
stranger
upon
the
same
errand
as
the
one
you
expect,
the
error
will
be
instantly
perceived
by
the
difference
in
name.
If
a
stranger,
bringing
a
letter
of
introduction,
sends
the
letter
with
her
card,
instead
of
calling,
courtesy
requires
you
to
make
the
first
call,
immediately;
the
same
day
that
you
receive
the
letter,
if
possible,
if
not,
the
day
after.
