A man should not smoke in the presence of women unless bidden by them to do so. Few women care to say that it is disagreeable when asked, hence the better course is to await permission.
Women. If a woman has true regard
for herself,
she should
not indulge in smoking; if she
does, it
should be in absolute privacy.
SON.
Balls. A son should do all in
his power to
make the
ball a success by finding partners
for the
women having none, seeing that the
men are
introduced to the women, and taking
in to supper
a woman without an escort.
Cards. 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 for a host and hostess.
Invitations
