Mexico weekly ledger., 1879-01-02
NEW
Beauty Holds Open Court.
Callers and Called Lunch
Fiends Happy.

disagreeable day the old time honor
ed custom of calling on the ladies
was better observed than ever before
IN Mexico. The sleighing being
good, the callers could make a large
circuit IN a short time, unless they
called on particular friends in their
rounds. We think this is a most ex-
~cellent way to begin the New Year,
and are glad TO see that the young
people of Mexico fall so naturally
into the custom. Being requested by
the ladies', we will next yeer, one
week before New Years day pub
publish a full and complete alpha
betical list of all ladies receiving
callers. In this way the callers will
know where Their friends are and not
slight any one, unintentionally.
