 ON NEW YEARS DAY.
 Not so Many Cards to be Sent Out by
 The Ladies This Kear-Rut Many
 Ladies Who will be at Home.
 Many of the young society ladies who sent out cards last year to their friends whom they wished to have call on them will not do so this year, as it is considered quite com mon, and for that reason fewer calls will be made than usual this New Years day. The proper dress will be the same as in former years, and he who wishes to make calls in the correctstyle will wear his Prince Albert coat in the afternoon and don his full dress suit for the evening wear. The small club sized visiting card with the name engraved there on is the proper card to use, the fancy New Years cards having gone out of style. In- toxicating liquors and square meals will not be seen so much on the tables of the young ladies who will be at home this year, and the gentlemen who make calls will feel relieved to think that they have not got to eat full meal at each house at which they call.
