NEW YEAR IN THE FIFTIES.
How the Feast Was Celebrated II
Generation Ago.

In the early "ffties." writes Katherine
b. Forte, in the New York Evening Post,
we used to read about New Years Day IN
New York as celebrated by our Dutch an
cestors, and it seemed to us to be very
far-away and bygone age; yet to the chill
dren of today the New Years Days of the
early fifties are just as obsolete and per-
haps even less known. For much fiction
has been written of the Dutch period.
and there have been plenty of veritable
diaries OF the lives and ways of those
worthy people before and after the revolu-
tion, and We know how their holidays
were kept, and what they We're; but the
later holidays of the middle and early part
OF this fast-passing century are not yet
far enough in the past to have been writ
ten about extensively.
Everyone then kept open house on the
list of January-the ladies received and
the men made calls. The day was kept
even in the tenement houses and among
the respectable poor for in those days
New York was very different place from
the New York OF today. The poor were
nearly all Englsh-speaking people, and
slums, except the Five Points" We're not
to be found. No woman of position ever
left the house on New Years Day except
in cases of urgent necessity or to go early
in the day to receive with friend. The
young and pretty girls were always in
great demand then. as they offered an at
traction in the homes where the daughters
were not grown up. or where there were
| no daughters and the hostess was herself
no longer young The young people en-
joyed the day hugely, there is no doubt
OF that; but for the elders it was not al
ways an unmixed blessing. The young
men boasted of the number of calls they
| had made and the girls of the number re-
| ceived. The housekeepers. who prided
| themselves on their table We'd with
| one another on this occasion, and brought
| out wonderful old recipes never used at
| and other season, but kept sacred for the
| festival day.
The staid fathers of families were started
out in the early part OF the day with d
| long list of calls all written out for them
| The elders often started with groans OF
| despair. but as often came back saying
well. 1t was pleasant to see Mrs. So and

this mixture on the mildew spots. on

the grass and let # lie In a strong sun

for removing the stains OF shoe olack-

IOilct Hints.

4 complexion brush of firm, even
br.stles is good to remove the dust
from the pores and should be used with
pure white CASTLE soap-which is heal
ing and gOod-and tepid water. After
the scrubbing a cream must be smeared
on, so that the skin will not show irri-
tation. II the skin is excessively oily
a few drops of alcohol may be added
to the suds
Three pints of water should be taken
each day. Half the women don't drink
enough water. 1t is Just as necessary
to take bath inside as out.
1t takes long time TO cure enlarged
pores, and the best way is by the use
OF the brush and a pure hygienic soap
BY this process the pores. which have
become enlarged by the clogged secre-
tions. are kept free and gradually they
will contract and become normal in
size.
Lemons should be an Indispensable
article on a woman's toilet table. 4
little diluted lemon juice applied at
night is an excellent bleach for the
hands, and. unlike most bleaches, soft
ems the skin.
1t is agreed by the medical author
tiles that olive oil is one OF the best
tonics for the nerves. Plenty of olive
oil in salad dressings. etc, will aid di-
gestion, while a teaspoonful taken clear
once week is the best medicine for a
rundown system and 1t will also help
clear a muddy complexion.
A good hair tonic is made as fol-
lows: Picnic acid. two grams: tine
ture OF nux yomica, seven and one-half
grams; tincture OF red cinchona. thirty
grams; tincture OF cantharides. two
