THE FIRST DAY OF THE YEAR
Because 1t Came on Sunday 1t Was Not
Generally Observed as Holiday.
Business Will Be Suspended To-Day, However,
for the Enjoyment of New Years Pleas
ures-Where Callers Will Be Received.

The observance of New Years was generally
reserved until to-day. With the weather
threatening cloudy sky, raw wintry air and
constant fall of scattering fakes of snow, which
little folks call geese feathers" yesterday was
dreary as day can well be. Very few peo-
pie were on the streets, and more than che ordi
nary Sundays quietness prevailed. Even the
hotel Hobbies deserted by loungers, who
preferred the cosy fire Aone and elsewhere to
coming in contact with tew down town, who
saw little cheer in what " nothing more than
everyday scenes and incidents. With nothing
to suggest the first day OF another year except
the new calendars aud the recollection that it
the Indianapolis world waited patiently
for this morning. In some of the churches
there were sermons and illusions to the time;
Elsewhere could be heard occasional references
to good resolutions and the expressions OF the
hope that the year would close with better indi-
vidual results than the last but aside from
these the day may have passed unnoticed.
To-day, however, the holiday characteristics
will be observed as usual in cessation of busi-
ness the seeking of entertainment and the going
hither and yon of the caller devotine his time to
the demands of friendship. For the general
public no special amusemerts are offered. ex-
cept those the theaters announce, and at each
the attractions are sufficiently strong to call for
crowded houses. Workiugmen and all classes OF
employees though, will find the means OF enjoy
ment that suit them best, while the friends OF
the ladies named below will find welcome in
the time -honored custom of open house.
