Etiquette of Calls and the Sexes

A business errand is the only occasion for a call from a woman to a man, and in such a case, the lady calls during his business hours and sends in her name, not her visiting card. 

When Women Call vs When Men Call

Ceremonious calls are not made between women in the morning, evening or on Sunday afternoons. A man, owing to the exactions of business, may call in the evening and on Sunday afternoon. 

A woman should never call on a man socially. A business errand is the only occasion for a call from a woman to a man, and in such a case, the lady calls during his business hours and sends in her name, not her visiting card. –The Morning Union, 1915
