AFTER A VISIT Is it etiquette
for grown-up persons after visiting
in the country and being royally en- !
tertained to write the family a Una
after returning home, or should thtey
keep silence and the family either !
write to them or find out the best
way they can whether they have re
turned home?

ed guest wrote and dispatched a Ht
tie note of thanks to his or her host
ess immediately on reaching home,

after the conclusion of the visit. Now

ten days or a fortnight elapse before
informing one's recent entertainer of
one's safe arrival at one's destination
and giving such other facts as are
likely to be interesting to a lady in
whose company some days have been
passed.
