Enquire within upon everything

1935. The Handkerchief. There is considerable art in using this accessory of dress and comfort. Avoid extreme patterns, styles, and colours. Never be without a handkerchief. Hold it freely in the hand, and do not roll it into a ball. Hold it by the centre, and let the corners form a fan-like expansion. Avoid using it too much. With some persons the habit becomes troublesome and unpleasant. [PUNCTUALITY BEGETS CONFIDENCE.] 1936. Visits and Presentations. i. Friendly calls should be made in the forenoon, and require neatness, without costliness of dress. ii. Calls to give invitations to dinner-parties, or balls, should be very short, and should be paid in the afternoon. iii. Visits of condolence require a grave style of dress. iv. A formal visit should never be made before noon. If a second visitor is announced, it will be proper for you to retire, unless you are very intimate both with the host and the visitor announced; unless, indeed, the host expresses a wish for you to remain. v. Visits after balls or parties should be made within a month. vi. In the latter, it is customary to enclose your card in an envelope, bearing the address outside. This may be sent by post, if you reside at a distance. vii. But, if living in the neighbourhood, it is polite to send your servant, or to call in person. In the latter case a corner should be turned down. viii. Scrape your shoes and use the mat. Never appear in a drawing-room with mud on your boots.
