For Mrs. Jane Wilson

The corner of the card should not be
turned down.

P. P. C. cards may be left in person or
sent by mail upon departure from city, or
on leaving winter or summer resort.

The corner of the card should not be
turned down.

RECEPTION. At receptions a woman should
leave the cards in the hall or hand them to
the servant.

At a "coming-out reception" a woman
should leave cards for the mother and
daughter.

A married man returns his social obligations
to women by personal calls, or his wife
can do it for him by leaving his card with
her own.

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER. After her debut the
younger of the two daughters has no card of
her own, as her full baptismal name appears
on her mother's card beneath her name. A
year after her first appearance she may have
a card of her own.

When a mother leaves her daughter's card,
it is for the hostess only.

If reception day appear on the mother's
card, the daughters also receive on that date,
as the daughters have no reception days of
their own.

MOTHER AND SON. When a mother is calling,
she can leave cards of her son for the host
and hostess if it is impossible for him to do so
himself.

A son entering society can have his cards
left by his mother upon a host and hostess.
Invitations to entertainments will follow.

RETURNING TO TOWN. Cards of the entire
family should be sent by mail to all
acquaintances when returning after a
prolonged absence.

When using cards, if out of town, the
place of a woman's permanent residence can
be written on the card--thus: New York.
Philadelphia.

SENDING BY MAIL OR MESSENGER. A woman
visiting a place for a length of time should
mail to her friends her visiting-card
containing her temporary address.

P. P. C. cards may be sent by mail or
messenger upon departure from city, or
on leaving winter or summer resort.

After a change of residence the cards of
the entire family should be sent out as soon
as possible.

At the beginning of the season both married
and single women should send their cards
to all their acquaintances.

Visitors to town should send cards to every
one whom they desire to see, with the address
written on the cards.
