quietly and pleasantly declines TO enter
into any controversy with any one in re-
gard to her proposition to celebrate New
Years day by a revival OF an old Gus
tom" In a most dignifed and courteous
manner she relterates her intention of
celebrating New Years day by keeping
open house to her friends" and at the
same time she refuses to make further
statements as to the programme that she
proposes for that day or the menu that
she will offer her guests. So II is that
one of the leaders of Oakland society
refuses to modify any of her plans or, at
the same time, give to the public more

Smith to-day, land so the custom is
nothing new for US. i propose to wish my

sure that there is no one on my list who
does not respect the standard which a
hostess chooses to set for her home. You

discussion of my home or guests seems
to me unnecessary and a trife ridicu-
lous."
And so Mrs. Smith has closed the incl
dent as far as she is concerned. but the
Oakland tongue has been unhinged by IL,
and everywhere there is discussion as to
whether the old system of New Years call
should be revived, and II revived whether
it will carry with it the attendant punch

New Years calls the butt of so many
rather serious jokes. The dignity with
which Mrs. Smith has put her person.
ality and her reception out of the case
has made the discussion a general and
impersonal one. and those who have
spoken do so upon the general PROPOSE
ton OF the revival of New Years calls.
Without any reference to Mrs. Smith,
i would say that oppose the celebration
of New Years day when liquor is used. 50
said Mrs c. J. Mills of Mills College.
"One of the reasons why New Years calls
fell into disuse was because of the abuse
of the occasion. 1t was well that that

"The custom of calling on New Years

a sad one
stanton came to this country about zen
years ago and soon found employment
with the Southern Pacific Company. About
year ago. while engaged in driving
spikes at track-laying in West Oakland
piece OF fish plate snapped and struck
him in the left eye. The metal meme

stanton has been employed In and about

Finally fearing that he might become
totally blind. he concluded TO apply To the

on the very eve of his hopes being partial

he now labors under the hallucination
tnat several men are constantly pursuing

they would set up the claim that he was
insane and committed suicide.

days. and hence he had concluded TO end
his misery. Teggart is aged 80 years and
