WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU GET THERE.
The following callers code has been pre-
pared by one who has experience in visit
ing friends on the opening day of the year.
They are worth persual and may give
some important hints for this occasion:
Gentlemen may commence calling at
nine O'Clock in the morning, and will
leave cards where the ladies may not
be ready to receive them at so early an
hour.
At or before ten o'clock. the ladies
should be in their parlors ready to receive
callers.
Calling may be continued till ten o'clock
in the evening, but no later.
".
First calls are due to the clergy and their
families. and they may receive calls on
New Years day or make them at their
pleasure.
Wines are not expected, and when on
the table are rarely offered to guests.
Liquors are prohibited. Coffee is the
standard beverage of the day. In general,
tables will be supplied with substantial
food, and gentlemen partake at their usual
hours.
Calls are. expected from friends, and
gentlemen will not take the liberty of IN
PRODUCING strangers, except under special
circumstances, which seem to warrant
such liberty. A gentleman calling with
| friends may introduce them. but this is a
mere formality, and gives no privileges un'
less followed by subsequent invitation te
the house.
First calls, especially neglected ones
may be made on New Years day, and il
friendly relations have been disturbed
either party may offer to resume them b.
making New Years call.
VIII.
Should i'll health. absence, number O
calls to be made, or other cause. proven
making any intended calls on New Year
day, they may be made at any time during
J the month. or. if that is not practicable
cards may be sent by messenger or b,
mail as it is scarcely possible for AM
gentleman of large acquaintance to max
calls fully in all parts of larg9 city on tn
same day.
In cards a large liberty is allowed, 4
! written or engraved visiting card may b
. used, or a card with the date and Ne'
Years compliments An autograph car
, is considered most mplimentary.
4 X.
To avoid confusion of names, and t
D assist the memory. gentlemen are expecte
to leave cards at all places where they ma
call.
? XII
To some extent, callers have been IT
quested to write their signatures in a
autograph album provided for the occasion
but this practice has not yet been full
e established,
