5 to 7 p.m. in the
summer months.

Married ladies can, if they please, walk out unaccompanied or unattended
in places of public resort in town or on the parades of fashionable
watering-places; but married ladies, especially if they are young,
usually prefer the society of another lady, not so much, perhaps, for
propriety as for companionship, as to walk alone, either in town or at
fashionable watering-places, renders a lady more or less conspicuous,
especially if she is attractive and well dressed.

A young lady can now also walk by herself in the Park for the purpose of
joining her friends and acquaintances, both in the morning and in the
afternoon, but she should not sit alone.

Again, young ladies may walk alone in the fashionable streets, but they
should not loiter when alone at shop-windows as they pass, but walk at a
quick pace from shop to shop, or from street to street.

In the quiet neighbourhoods of towns, suburban towns, and
watering-places, young ladies walk unaccompanied and unattended to
visit their friends residing in the near vicinity of their homes, or to
attend classes, or for the purpose of shopping, etc. Indeed, great
independence is generally accorded in this respect, the line being drawn
at evening hours--that is to say, at walking alone after dusk.

At watering-places, and at all public promenades, it is usual for
gentlemen to join ladies with whom they are acquainted, and to walk with
them for a short time when it is apparent that their company is desired,
but not otherwise.

Ladies and gentlemen, whether related or not, should never walk
arm-in-arm, unless the lady is an elderly one, or an invalid, and
requires this support.

=Driving.=--From 3 to 6.30 are the received hours for the afternoon
drive during the summer, and from 2.30 to 4.30 during the winter.

The following rules as regards entering and leaving a carriage apply to
a motor-car or an electric brougham as far as the construction, make,
and size of the same render it possible.

When driving in an open or close carriage or motor-car it is quite
immaterial whether the owner occupies the right-hand or the left-hand
seat. The seat she occupies depends upon which side she enters, as the
lady driving with her should enter before her and should seat herself on
the furthest seat.

A visitor should always enter the motor-car or carriage before the
hostess.
