It is the custom in New York, on new year's day,
for the gentlemen to visit all their acquaintances ; and the
omission of this observance would be considered a decided
insult. The routine is as follows :—The ladies of a family
remain at home to receive visits : the gentlemen are abroad
actively engaged in paying them. You enter—shake hands
—are seate—talk for a minute or two on the topics of the
day—then hurry off as fast as you can. Wine and cake
are on the table, of which each visiter is invited to par-
take. The custom is of Dutch origin, and does not pre-
vail in any other State in the Union. Its influence on the
social intercourse of families is very salutary. The first
day of the year is considered a day of kindness and recon-
ciliation, on which petty differences are forgotten and trifling
injuries forgiven.
