A
BACHELOR'S
CUPBOARD
Bachelor
Etiquette
of
a
young
lady
through
a
friend
must
call
in
com-
pany
of
the
friend
the
first
time,
after
which,
if
she
wishes
to
receive
him,
he
may
call
alone.
When
a
woman
has
been
entertained
by
a
bachelor
at
his
apartments,
she
leaves
a
card
for
him,
accom-
panied
by
that
of
her
chaperone.
In
paying
calls,
a
man
may
take
his
hat
and
stick
into
the
drawing-room
if
he
prefers,
although
the
serv-
ant
generally
takes
them
in
the
hall.
A
man
who
receives
callers
at
his
apartments
should
accompany
each
departing
guest
to
the
door,
and
open
the
door
for
him;
he
may
with
propriety
show
the
ladies
to
their
carriages,
although
this
is
not
obliga-
tory.
It
is
the
duty
of
a
man
when
calling
to
relieve
women
of
empty
teacups
and
to
carry
refreshments
to
those
who
are
sitting
at
a
distance
from
the
tea-table.
He
must
rise
from
his
chair
when
a
woman
caller
enters
and
when
anyone
is
presented
to
him.
When
he
rises
he
should
stand
beside
or
behind
his
chair,
and
continue
to
stand
as
long
as
the
lady
on
whose
ac-
count
he
has
risen
remains
standing.
A
man
calling
on
Sunday
afternoon
should
ask
for
"
the
ladies
"
when
the
mother
has
extended
an
invi-
tation for
him
to
call.
After
the
first
call
he
may
ask
for
"
the
young
ladies,"
or
the
particular
one
for
whom
his
visit
is
intended.
A
very
formal
afternoon
call
should
occupy
not
less
than
fifteen
minutes
and
not
more
than
half
an
hour.
