When a mother leaves her daughter's card, it is for the hostess only.
If reception days appear on the mother's card, the daughters also receive on that day, as they have no reception date of their own.
After an entertainment the cards of the family may be left for the host and hostess by the eldest daughter.
The eldest daughter has her own circle of
acquaintances, and can visit and receive independently
of her mother.
