FRENCH CUSTOM OF EX.
CHANGE OF VISITING CARDS
ON NEW YEARS DAY

Paris, Jan. 4.-The long-stand-
| ing custom of exchange of visiting
car6s at the beginning of the New
Year has been suspended by the war
1t is quite possible that it will never
be generally revived. The custom
had once before fallen into almost
/ total neglect and President Falliers
is credited with reviving it for the
, benefit of the industries -cardmak-
ers printers and stationers-iw de-
rived a considerable income from the
industry.
According to the tradition, a per-
son was allowed about fifteen days
after the beginning of the year to
send his card to all persons whose
acquaintance he regarded as worth
cultivating. When the custom be-
came general certain of its draw
backs made themselves felt acutely.
A single person overlooked acquired
for the person in default a grudge
that was stronger than the gratitude
of all those that were remembered
! by him. Many a bitter enmity had
| its origin in the simple foreetful-
ness of a person to observe this Gus
tom.
The exchange of visiting cards,
originally purely social matter, be-
came also introduced into business.
Men who had no social intercourse
whatever, but had reason to culti-
yate each others acquaintance COM
meTcialiy, adopted the method of
sending their cards at the beginning g
of tho year. The result was such a
burden upon the postal authorities
that every New Years day special
boxes had to be provided at the post
offices for the reception of visiting
cards. The revival of the custom a
few years ago was hailed with a
great deal of grumbling those who
considered il nuisance were never
therless obliged to fall in line for
fear Of lacking consideration anon g
| their acquaintance. Last year the
visiting card was replaced by the IL
lustrated postcard as it was again
this year and will be no doubt for
years to come.
