New Years Cnris.

1t is to be hoped that those ladies
who are prepared to receive their
friends on New Years Day will do so.
The custom is universal elsewhere,
and is one which commends itself
greatly as means of cementing
friendship, forming acquaintance and
paying up social visits. The HERALD
will publish, on New Years morning,
the names of those ladies who intend
receiving, if they will have the good
hess to send them to us. This is the
way the thing is managed elsewhere.
1t is convenient and of great service to
the gentlemen calling, rs it enables
them to make up their list easily No
body expects any elaborate spreads,
The simpler and the more substantial
the refreshments the better. a little
wine, cakes, cold meats, turkeys,
coffee and chocolate are quite sufficient
Those ladies who do not intend re-
eeiving should hang basket on their
door knobs for the reception of cards.

An EXPERT,

Dr. Price is well known as an expert
in the study of culinary chemistry. and
all of the manufactures of Steele Il
Price are the result of his researches.
One of these discoveries is the cream
baking powder, by the use of which
light, sweet biscuits, cakes, ETC., at all
times are certainty. The market is
flooded with cheap, inferior baking
powders, and adulteratiou is so extern
sively practiced, that the cream bak-
ing powder does the work with two
thirds of the quantity required of any
other kind. In view of such cheap i'm
positions, the public are advised to ask
for these pure aud excellent articles !;
If they cannot be obtained of one gro
Ger may be of another. The purer the
articles that compose our daily food
the better they are for health. DR..
Prices true fiavoring extracts are real
ly delicious.
