There's Good Reason for Visiting Cards DEAR Mrs. Post: Visiting card formalities are something I I never will understand. I've moved into a strange community and neighbors and friends of friends are calling and leaving their cards. Why do they leave cards when I'm in and receive them? I can understand under-stand why they would leave cards in my absence but not otherwise.
