A matron who has lived a long time in the same house, whether in town or country, and has kept the same day at home, season after season, does not, as a rule, need to post cards to all her friends when she begins her summer or winter seasons in society.

hostess should let nothing short of illness or important business keep her from being in readiness to greet all who pay her the compliment of presenting themselves at her door.
