NSw YEARS CALLs.-Our jenkins
Abroad.-As is usual on New Years day,
scaling" was the fsvorite pastime. In
our limited spacs, we cannot notice all
the places where "open house" was kept,
but we cannot overlook the charming
manner in which Miss Sue Lynch and
Miss Clara White received their guests
At their residence on Twenty-ninth
street, the only place at which the ladies
appeared in full dress. Miss Bird Wood
ward did the honors at her fathers house,
unassisted, but by her pleasant manners
was perfectly adequate to the task OF en-.
tertsining half dozen gentlemen at
once. The finest reception Of the day
was at the elegant residence of Mr.. w. d.
Hearne, where his accomplished lady
awaited all guests with a happy
New Year in the center OF the large
parlor. She was ably assisted BY Mrs.
Hiehe, of Baltimore, who was most beau
tifully dressed IN a pale green silk with
pink trimming, elaborated with lace and
diamond iewelry. Misses Mollie and
Annie Hearne and Mrs. Frank l.. and
w. II. Hearne, jr.. were the reserve
CORPS, which took care OF tha gentlemen,
and SO vanquished them that many OF
the gentlemen found it almost i'm
possible to get away. The table
was supplied with bivalyes from the
Atlantic, the fruits of the Pacific, the or
anges of the Sunny South, and the fish
of the st. Lawrence, all set forth on
silver and glass; the servants were very
attentive and could not have done more.
We will put the quintette OF young
ladies, Misses Sue Bell, Lizzie Penileton,
Jane, Annie and Jennie Miller at Mrs.
Millers on Market street, against any
five in the country for beauty-both the
types of the blonde and brunette being
represented in happy contrast. In our
rounds we missed greatly the usual ele-
gent entertainments at Mrs. George X.
Taylor's, A. Allen Howells, l. S. Della
plains, and others in the cenrai part
of the city. At Mr.. Dan Lists, the
brotherly love was represented by the
Misses Solomona, who during their pre-
vlous visit to this city, won hosts OF
friends. Under the same hospitable root
Misses Title Heiskell, Mary Paxton Min
ME OFT, and Misses Emma and
Mollie List entertained their
many acqusintances. Across the
street DR.. Logan's charming daughters
entertained during the day and evening
At Mr.. Mortimer Pollock's Misses Ida
Berger Matte Hubbard and Isadore
Pollock made their debut in society. At
Hon, Alfred Caldwell Misses Gertie and
Birdie Caldwell maintained a brilliant
and animated ''conversationelle' during
the day. At Mr. Henry K. Lists were
Misses Williams, Of Rochester, Lee
Singleton and Hettie List. the floral
decorations and entertainment being
very fine, the callers being presented
with button hole bouquets as II souvenir
of their pleasant visit. At MIR. Perce
Harden's on Twelfth street Misses Ida and
Gertie were assisted by Miss Stewart, of
Pittsburgh and Mrs. Rammelsburg (nee
Wheatl of Cincinnati.
Miss Maxwell and Miss Mary Ray en-.
tertalned their many friends at the resi-
dence of the former.
The calling was not as general as last
year, the unfavorable weather casting
a decided shadow over the spirits
of the gentleman. Let it be recorded to
the credit of the Young ladies of Wheel
ing that no where was any liquor in any
shape set out for the temptation Of the
gentlemen, consequently nothing occurred
10 MARI the pleasure OF the occasion.
