PERSONAL AND SOCIETY
LIST OF CALLING DAYS TO BE OBJ
SERVED THIS SEASON.
Fitting Up the Great Chamber-A
Novel Country Party-Move-
ments OF People.

With October attention is paid to the So
ciaI duties known as calls. The custom of
having one day in the week to be at home
and receive calls has grown to a considera-
bic extent within the last few seasons. An
Improvement on the custom, it has been
suggested, would be to have the ladies of
one section of the city select the same day,
so that all calls on one street could
be- paid with one visit to the neighborhood,
instead of six visits on as many days to
houses within few squares Of each other.
For the convenience OF those desiring the
list the following "at-home" days has been
prepared:

know. Another thing that should be in the
guest chamber is a clock with a noiseless
tick. Many a guest has awakened at an
i
interminable time for the breakfast bell to
ring. Guests have dressed themselves and
taken up something to read, not knowing
how near the breakfast hour might be and
wasted hours in waiting which might have
been spent in resting.
The New York Budget gives description
of novel party. ITO the strumming of ban
jos, songs and such yodles as were declared
peculiar to loving threats, a merry
company of the young set drove out of
town on Friday to enjoy an old-fashioned
party known as a corn-roast. A huge fire
was found blazing in a deep meadow lot
and each guest upon arriving was presented
long and sharply pointed stick. After Sc
curely pinning a good full ear thereto men,
maids and matrons seated themselves like
gnomes before the glowing brands, each
