". The men enter in single file, push
ing before them the boldest, who hides
his confusion by being preternaturally
impudent and witty. When the single
file has at last showed its entire sinu-
Gus length into the room, the men
edge toward walls and furniture as
men fearing the approach of deadly
enemies from behind. Each holds his
hat so as to guard himself still more
in that direction.
The ladies bow majestically and for
an odious while nobody says anything
till brave spirit begs leave to in
troduce my friend" Then every
body introduces everybody else as
my friend All the friends are re-
quested to have a little something:
POSSIBLY a few friends sometimes de-
cline. But careful examination of the
callers at night does not disclose a
condition that would lead one to sus-
pect that many of them are guilty.
Ethics of New Years Kisses.
Each friend as he lifts his glass says
hastily, Happy New Year" and then
peers around blushing lest he find
it fame. Same to you," says the ladies',
and the file prepares to side out. As
they emerge their giggles chime with
the CYCLES of the ladies. Later in the
day, the friends begin to bestow more
eloquence on their hostesses and soft
scuffies are frequent as each friend
attempts to exploit ibis prerogative Of
kissing them. The ladies submit with
soft patience. But if a man should
dream that their kindness is an invita-
ton to take liberties. he will find HIM
self undeceived quickly and impress
sively. The girls draw the line Just as
sharply as it is drawn in Fifth avenue
The difference is only a difference in
manners, not morals.

of Cornelius Vanderbilt ever since the
news of the latter's severe Illness was
removed to the Insane Pavilion at
Bellevue Hospital yesterday afternoon
after creating a sentation in the WAL

CITY PAVED WITH DTAMoSps.
washing" the Streets of Kimberley
for Precious stones.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
Before the consolidation of these
mines into one vast concern there were
scores Of small miners who had not
the necessary capital to enable them
to do more than scratch at the sur
face Of the earth, says a Kimberly cor
respondent. Arrived at certain depth
the ground fell in upon them, ana
working became an fmpossibility. Then
It was that a powerful company with
unlimited capital became necessity
and the De Beers Company absorbed
all these small concerns. Now. bv
scientific means, mining is carried on
to depths of over 1000 feet from the
earth's surface, and the diamonds are
sorted out by mechanical means in a
systematic manner which was before
impossible. Since De Beers took the
matter in hand they have applied their
methods TO the debris left behind as
worthless by the earlier workers. and
In IT they have found more diamonds
than had previously been taken out.
On the strength of this applications
have been made, and the rights grant
ed, for individuals to wash" the streets
OF Kimberly. for much OF the debris
in question had been used in repairing
and making roads. This washing IA
going on now with most excellent re-
suits, which prove that this city is
literally paved with diamonds. KIM

Carriage CaIIs.

Often the friends combine their
means to hire a cab for the purpose
of making calls in style. The host
esses like IT, for the settlers of tables
keep minute and jealous count of the
number of carriage callers that they
and their rivals in the street receive
on New Years Day.
The cab hired for the occasion has
a capacity limited only by the number
of those who can get in and on it.
Often the cabman is a friend himself
and helps to make the calls. This
makes the course of the vehicle pleas
antly erratic toward the end of the
day and occasionally it is left to shift
for itself after the various friends have
become oblivious.
The real genuine caller expects to
make at least one hundred calls and
do his duty at each. and still manage
to find his way home at night without
the help of the police. He performs
his calls as a sacred obligation long
after they have ceased to become a
keen pleasure. He is impelled by
two influences. One is that his lady
friends expect him to call, for a girls
social standing is measured by the
number of their callers, and the other
reason is that the men keep count of
the number of calls that they make
just as they would keep track of any
other sporting event.
The caller of the far west and east
sides has a mighty stomach and a
steady head. The most drunken OBJ
Jects to be seen on New Years Day
this territory are the very young
persons who transparency pretend to
be much more drunk than they are, In
order to impress the ladies with their
noble WickednesS

French Novel as Text Book.
So, after all these Years of Strug-
Cling, Tobias knew what it was to
have genuinely Happy New Year.
For when the Children came Home
for the Holiday Vacation the busy Mrs.
Tobias gave big Dancing Party on
New Years Eve, to say nothing of a
couple of Luncheons and a Formal
Dinner.
At these glittering Functions the
Family did what it could to keep Tobias

been educated in the East.
He celebrated the Glad New Year
by standing around in Doorways and
looking mournful1y at the Ligh Weights
who were doing the Cotillion and each
of them having the Time of his Life.
He saw his Wife hob-nobbing with
a Human Pickerel whose only Excuse
for being on Earth was that he looked
well in Evening Clothes
Daughter was dancing with a love-
ly Speciman of the night-blooming
Rounder and Son was passing the Gig
arettes. And no one was paying any
Attention to the Provider.
So he made quiet Retreat to his
own Room and had Glass of Milk
sent UP and read the Market Report
and managed to put in a Pleasant
Evening after all, seeing the Old One
out and the New One in.
MORAL: One New Year is just about
as Happy as another.
