The HoLLrpAYs.-We are glad TO learn
that the suggestion we threw out last
week relative to q social observance oil

response. We feel assured that the day
will be appropriated, as far is consistent
to friendly exchanges of good feelings and
kind wishes. The Ladies will be at home,
ready to shower their cheering smiles up.
on The social circle, and TO extend the
hospilalities of their hresidcs to their visit
ants. 1t will be the fault Of the gentle-
men, If the good old observance is no,
kept up. Then be alive to ysur own in
terests, bachelors and married men. Re-
member that the penalty for not calling
upon the fair sex on New Years day is
simply that the offenders will be debar-
red from the privilege for the remain
der Of the year. May not the hope be
INDUCED that it will be day when all
the bad feelings Of the past twelve months
may be buried. and friendly congratula-
tons and kind wishes be the delightful
harbingers Of a happy New Year.
