There will be less New Years calling this
season than ever before. The day coming
on Sunday, as it does, changes many of
the usual arrangements which are made
when it falls week day. Thus far there
have been almost no announcements for re-
ce1ving calls, and the only ones have been
invitational. 1t is quite safe to say that
many ladies will be at home informally Mon
day afternoon and evening glad to welcome
any friends who may call, but the old fash
ion which has been more or less in vogue
for years, for several ladies to receive at
one house and announce the fact will be
almost obsolete this year. 1t was a pretty
custom and picturesque one which is
passing out with the coming of the progress
sive ideas of the new century It's revival
with the bringing to the front of many old
customs, would be hailed with delight nv
the young people who know naught of it.
