THE ROUND OF CALLS.
One New Years Party that Tells tint
Tnie of All.


Tale of All.
The pretty custom Of making New Years
calls. said to have been introduced by Con-
fusicius some ten thousand years before the
Christian era. obtained to considerable ex-
tent in Minneapolis yesterday. The snow
deposit was just in season to admit OF the
use of sleighs, and most of the calls were
made by gayly gotten up parties in truly
winter style. Receptions were given by the
ladies mentioned in yesterdays GLOBE and
by some few others who were overlooked
perhaps, one hundred in all having arrayed
themselves to extend their finger tips and
listen to the monotonous-
''Wish you happy N'year, I'm sure"
Some Of the arrangements on the parts
of both makers and recipients of calls were
quite elaborate and single description will
suffice. At 2 o'clock party of four young
men left the West hotel in an elegantly ar
ranged sleigh. Besides the coachman was
a footman with silver salyer. both function
aries being arrayed in the extreme of
the mode. The gilded youths were in full
dress, with pale lemon-colored gloves and
satin crayats and Marechal Neil bOuton
nieres. Four dapple gray horses drew the
sleigh and brisk trot brought the equipage
to mansion on Park avenue. The foot
man flew down, opened the gate and rang
tie bell, which was answered by servant
in gorgeous livery. The quartette entered
the parlOr, while the tiger deposited in
card-receiver in the hall their four individ
ual cards tied with lemon satin ribbon and
attached to a gaily-embossed and illumina
ted card concentrating the new year.
They were the first arrivals and eight ladies
arose in eager expectancy and, preceded by
the hostess, hastened to meet them, receiv-
lug, with sweet smiles of complacency, the
studied greeting lisped out in society style.
Several remarks are made about the weather
ard the tobogganing prospects, when the
hostess leads the way to the rear parlor
where table and buffet laden with delica-
cies tell the gilded youth they have not
foregone their dinner in vain. Delicacies
are hastily and daintily nibbed at and the
marty returns to the parlor and discusses the
Linton bal masque and Washbum dancing
party for five minutes. The gentlemen
really must go and the ladies rise in their
places while they back out and are driven
off, when there is rush for the hall to look
at the cards.
This is continued throughout the day ad
infnitum. the round being almost totally
devoid of variety either of scene or greet
ing When evening comes slight change
is wrought. Each gentleman has so ar
ranged that his final call is upon his par
ticular lady friend and there he quietly set
ties himself for the evening. At IL o'clock
the ladies retire to consult on their victori-
Gus campaign and the young men seek
Hbatory to refresh themselves.

DECADENCE OF ROLLER Kinks.

The FitteSt, Only, Survive Natural

No bubble ever expanded and turned its
inflated beauty to the sun in more pride
than Minneapolis took in her thirteen skat-

burst and the day of the Kinks has gone
A year ago and the roller rink craze was
sweeping over the country in such a fashion
that the ready speculator exchanged bank
stock for rink shares and prepared to grow
rich. The frenzy was universal, but Min
neapolis got more than her share. One
after another the buildings went up until

manufactures sprung up like magic and
merchant princes disguised themselves and
became managers. Men forsook their busl-

children deserted the schools for the frisky

swelled out to plethOric condition.

thirteen in Minneapolis only two or three
are paying expenses and over the others the
banner of the auctioneer hangs, like the
sword of DamocleS, suspended by single
hair. The struggle for existence is being
waged in earnest and we will soon have
only the survival of the fittest. A few are
keeping above water, while upon others
mortgages are being plastered like show
bills on a dead wall. Two causes are at
work against the rink. The first is the ma
tural reaction after an unnatural craze.
The second is the pnblc sentiment which
has been brought to regard the rink as i'm
moral, because certain immoral results had
their beginning in rink. For some of the
really first Kinks in Minneapolis it is mis-
fortune that bad ones have existed. 1t is
true that several of the scandals which re-
Gently Mortified this lordly city had their
origin in rink, but it is nevertheless a lit
tie hard that the good ones should suffer
from it. But they do. A sentiment
against Kinks has been created that will be
all powerful. The press has damned them
with faint praise and the pulpit has de-
nounced them unequivocally. Some, and
they viii be the best, will live, and under
their present good management will pay,
but the others will go. The year which
began yesterday will outlive many and
most of the MINNEAPOLIS Kinks

Z. II. Husbands was supposed to have
been knocked from his wagon and robbed
yesterday, but subsequent developments
showed that he had only celebrated the
holidays in his own peculiar way. Mr..
Husbands is the travelling agent for a COM
pressed yeast company. Yesterday morn
ing he was found by a milkman near the
Lowry farm in Northeast Minneapolis, out
beyond Gluck's brewery. in pitiable con-
dition. He was covered with blood. and the
first impression was that he had been way
laid by highwaymen, but an investigation
showed that he had INDUCED too freely in
New Years drinks and had fallen from his
buggy. He was taken into custody by the
police and was taken to his brothers home
on University avenue. He was consider
ably bruised about the head, but no wound
was found serious. The horse and buggy.
which Husbands had hired from Dixon's
livery stable, was found near Gluck's
brewery.

GIRLS, DON'T MARRY IN HASTE

Though you may love fondly
With heart and with soul,
Keep well the affections
Within your control;
And. while you are anxious
No minutes 10 waste,
This maxim remember:

In coming and going
Abroad in the land,
One meets with loves ruins,
Like beacons they stsndl
They say TO the thoughtless
In many cline,
Don't be in q hurry;
Give love ample time"
''My lover may change then"
The maidens reply.

Than after" we cry.
True loves like a diamond,
Mere fancy is paste.
Then. girls, this remember,
Don't marry in haste.
If you tarry awhile
In your prudence and pride
Ere you enter LIES garden
AS bridegroom and bride,
You'll learn Of each other,
And If both prove true,
You'll love him forever,
As be will love you.
Sweet girls IN your beauty.
Shy maiden or belle,
From the lords of creation
Choose wisely and well
There are sweethearts in plenty,
And some TO your taste;
But, dears, when you've chosen,
Don't marry in haste.
