NEW YEARS

Comes but once twelve months and
never comes to the American people without
it's usual compliment Of festivities. And
we are we'll pleased to be able to say that it
was we'll observed in this city and vicinity.
Thanks to the good sense Of society herea-
bouts, the custom of New Years calls
were so managed with coffee chocolate etc,
that the day was one of friendly intercourse
and social enjoyment and did not make our
young men end ''the rounds" by a sstarna
liza at the saloons. As society be
comes more refined and seeks to make these
New Years calls" more a pleasure than
a regret Of the memory, the wine cup is ban
ished from the hands of the fair ones, whose
"a sip for your happy New Year." male hu-
manity with kid gloves and hair parted in
the middle, cannot resist. These calls were
made more popular, as an American custom,
this year than ever before, and the zest
given them will probably make them re-.
