A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
DIRECTORY FOR THOSE WHO CALL

Lists of Ladies in Cleveland and Elsewhere
Who Will Be "At Home" on New Year's
to Receive Their Gentlemen Friends

The time-honored custom of making New Year's calls bids fair to be even more generally observed to-morrow throughout the United States than usual. It is a fashion which is neither old enough to call for a history of its origin nor new enough to require explanation. The beginning of a new year is recognized as an opportune time to renew old friendships and form fresh ones. In some places it is a practice to make New Year's day a time for revising acquaintance and the gentleman or lady's circle of friends for the ensuing year is circumscribed by the calls or cards received-for where time or inclination prevents a call the card is sent. An omission is taken as a hint of a wish to discontinue acquaintance. The custom, however, does not generally take on such importance but the caller exchanges the compliments of the season in a brief visit at as many places as is convenient and the failure to call upon a friend seldom implies any significance further than the inability to make the entire circuit of friends.

We have been at no little pains to compile a list of the ladies of Cleveland who will "receive" tomorrow and we herewith present it as complete as we have been able to make it. The publishing in the newspaper of such lists is a matter of no little convenience to all concerned, as the callers are enabled by them to map out their routes for the day, while the absence of a lady's name from the list is an indication that she is not "at home."
