" Morning visit, should be made between the hours of twelve and two, and should be of Avner duration, say from five to fifteen mina tes. A rentlemsn should keep his hat in his hand during" the visit, or at all events carry it sloth `aim into the re ception room, as I t indicates that hi does not intend to remain lone.

If a gentleman is presented to a Indy at an evening party inn proper manner, he is at liberty to call upon her anon after. although he may not have reeeived a visit from her ionic connections. She ia. of course. at liberty to make this acquaintance a alight or familiar one. " A lady may visit a public Jittery and many other public places unattended by a gentleman, without the slightest breach of decorum. This custom is In general one In Washington, and to seine extent in the other ci ties, which are day by day getting rid of the provincial ism that suggested its impropriety. NEW YNARN IMa VISITi.—" The practice prevails generally in Now York, and partially in the older litres. °leasing visits on New Year's day. The time of eisit ing on this day begin. as early as ten o'clock and coati nuee until three, or later. The lady remains at home to receive her visiters, who are usually gentlemen, and partakes of some refreshment with each, as wine and cake, or coffee, which a placed conveniently on Is table. "Each visitor leaves his card, and remains but a few moments. The day furnishes an opportunity of heating up any estrangements or differences which may have. arisen among friend■, and is one of great hilarity. DRESS...." The dress of both the lady and fieetietrum is so much a mere matter of taste, and depends so great ly on the fashion of the moment, that it would he su per throne to prescribe any fixed rule for it. There are cer tain proprieties, however, which no change of fashion can altar. Small matters, as well-made shoes and gloves , and appropriate handkerehiefs. frequently discover the true lady and gentleman. About these the well-bred person is always particular. " Every individual should dress in keeping with his circimistences, but no well-bred person will desire to appear conspicuous on account of the extreme fashion or outlandishness of lire dress. " It is due to society that its members should present respects ble appearance, but it is not dress alone which given an indivtibtal a position in it. The more unassuming the dress, the more appropriate and re spectable it is. '• A lady should be particular In select her dress with an eye to chasteneas. klilky and pliable materials, which show the graceful contour of the female form, are more desirable than harsh. myielding ones.
