ABOUT AFTEE-CALLS. Another point on which uncertainty exists in someminds is in regard to making calls after afternoon teas,receptions, kettledrums, etc. On this point the rule isnow generally established that when one attends inperson, or sends a card to any of these entertainments,no after-call is required. Those who attend leave acard on the table, and those unable to go may send acard, and. that is all that is needed. An after-call isalways required after a dinner invitation; but, on otheroccasions, in New York and other cities, cards may nowbe left afterward in person, or sent by a servant, andthis takes the place of the MISCELLANEOUS RULES OFETIQUETTE.
