1t is to be hoped that the meagre list here

impossible to receive on the first, and tha
the very pleasant custom Of making New
Year calls Is not dying out In our midst
Very little thought seems to have been giver

Tue habit Of visiting ones friends on tht
first day OF the year and expressing goot
wishes and cementing past friendships, is L
be commended. There are few enough gen
eral social meetings at best, and this is on
OF the most enjoyable.
Some Of the accepted regulations govern
ing the reception Of callers on such occasions
may be OF use to some Of our readers
Gentlemen carrying New Year cards SHOULD
present one to each lady,
The hostess should introduce the lady OF
ladies who assist her as soon as the gentlemen
enter the parlor,
The gentlemen should leave their overcoats
and wfapsin the carriage, or, II not calling in
q carriage, lay them of in the hall
1t Is strict etiquette for gentlemen TO veal
gloves They should appear either in full
dress or wear Prince Albert coat and medi.
UNI shade OF pantaloons
1t is one OF the requisites that the hostess
shall provide servant to attend tho door
The servant should remain constantly near
the door, so that gentlemen will not be Kept
waiting either for ingreSs or egreSs.
1t is customary for ladies who do not in.
tend to receive to place card receiver out.
side the door rgentlnmen friends 10 deposit
their cards in. This serves not only rs a
hint that the ladies are not at home to callers,
but also offers an opportunity for gentlemen
to pay their respects without making call.
A pre.ty custom Of late years is that OF pre-.
-tsenting boutOnniere to each caller.
Flowers, always beautiful, are still more so
at this time Of year, when the ground Is
covered with snow and the winds are chilling.
Ladies' can not use them too profuSeiy in
decorating their homes to-day.
The arrangements here will not be so
elaborate as in some OF the larger cities, but
there is no reason that the day should not
pass off with memorable pleasure to both
those who receive and those who call. The
year cannot be more appropriately opened
than with the interchange OF friendly greet
ings by members OF both sexes, and the ac-
QUESTION OF pleasuFeable memories that will
last through the year.
