Show Calling In KoKlsnd. New- York Ledger. In England it would be tho worst possible form for a gentleman to call on an uumarried lady and ask the servant ser-vant if she is at homo. He must always ask for the mother only. A gentleman is never asked to "call again soou," but he is told: "I hope we shall see a good deal of you." In Knglaud, cards are left only when the person called on is out. They are never sent in before the caller, if the person called on is at home. For husband and wile to have ! both names on one curd,-"Mr. and ! Mrs. .Jones," is very bail form. So it is ! for unmarried ladies to have sepemte ! visiting cards of their own. Their i 'names should be engraved under the name of their mother or of some other i married female relation. In Kngland I one's address should always be on one's I card, in smaller letters, "in tho right I lower corner. We might enumerate a ! thousand other peculiarities, but we have cited enough to show that an American citizen could not easily acquire ac-quire what in Kngland is called "good form" without an expenditure of time that could be put to a better purpose. |
