Sunday calls.  Informal calls may be made on
       Sunday after three o’clock by business and
       professional men, provided there are no religious
       or other scruples on the part of those receiving
       the calls.

       Men should wear afternoon dress.

Suppers given by men—­women.  A young woman
       may accept a man’s invitation, provided she
       has the consent of her mother or guardian,
       and is assured that a chaperone will be present.

Suppers—­men.  Suppers are generally for men. 
       The hours are from ten to eleven.  A man can
       give such entertainments in bachelor apartments
       or restaurant, and if women are invited,
       chaperones should be present.

The invitations may be given personally, written, or a visiting-card may be used, giving hour and date.  If the supper is given in honor of a special guest, engraved cards or note sheets are used.

      Suppers may be of various kinds—­such as
      Fish, Game, Wine, Champagne.

Suppers and theatre parties. 
  Men.  A man should not invite a young woman
       to a theatre party or supper without inviting
       her mother or a chaperone to accompany
       them.  At large theatre parties or suppers,
       when there are ten or more guests, several
       chaperones should be invited.  Any married
       or elderly unmarried woman can act as
       chaperone, care being taken that they are
       well-known and agreeable to all, as much of the
       pleasure of the evening depends upon them. 
  Carriages.  A conveyance holding a large party
       can be sent to take invited guests to the
       entertainment.  The chaperone should be
       called for first, and should be the last one to
       be left at home upon returning.  The chaperones
       may use their own carriages and call
       for guests if they desire.  If the chaperones
       call for the guests, the men can be met at the
       place of amusement.  Conveyances should
       be provided for guests.

Suppers given by bachelors. 
         See bachelors’ suppers.

Table etiquette.  It is correct to take a little of all
       that is offered, though one may not care for it. 
       Bend slightly over the plate when carrying
       the food to the mouth, resuming upright
       position afterward.

When drinking from a cup or glass, raise it
gracefully to the mouth and sip the contents. 
Do not empty the vessel at one draught.
