THE SECOND As NEW YEARS.
Some Notes About Callers and Calling
Yesterday, HT

Yesterday was an ideal New Years day.
The air was frosty and nipping, causing
everybody to move briskly, while atths same
time the sun smiled freely and gave to every.
thing brlghtlook. Nearly everyone on the
streets wore happy and Joyous looks and
the compliments OF the season were cor.
daily exchanged all along the streets A
few business houses were opened 10 the
morning. but eyeTythlngwas closed In the az.
ternOon, and tile streets were thrunged with
pleasure seekers.
We predict that there will be general re-
greet on the part OF a large number Of young
ladies that they did not In some way an.
nounce In yesterdays INTELLI0ENcER that
they were going to receive. They would
have had gentlemen callers enough to keep
them busy. We further predict that next
year the receiving and calling will be done
on grand scale, Nearly every society man
called yesterday, and all'were loud In their
praise Of those ladies who had kept Open
house, and whose bright eyes had beamed
ON them as they kindly wished the caller "a
Happy New Year. The gentlemen are
heartily In favor OF New Years calls and
they will, II Is thought, talk up such boom
for next year, Us will eclipse anything ever
previously attempted In tile city.
Yesterdays calls were for the most part In.
formal, both on the part OF those receiving
and those calling, The gentlemen did not
begin their rounds until about O'Clock In
the afternoon, and from that time up 10 ii
squads OF them could be seen sCurrying along
our fashionable thoroughfares. The recep.
