The professional New-Year’s caller could not have desired a pleadanter day for his business than that which e had yesterday. It was a day of medium temperature, warm enough to imake walking agreecable, and not s0 cold as to require an intolerable amount of mufiling up; for nothing is more dis-' agreeable to a person than to be compelled, a dozen, or twenty, or thirty times a day, to unship his ear-muffs, remove his muffler, : pull off his wristlets, extricate himself from his overcoat, and rid himself of his over- shoes. After one has gone thirough, again and again, the process of unbundling whicl it is necessary to do with the thermometer far below zero, one gets wearied .of calling and of coffee, of pretty girls and cake. It might have been - bet- ter, perhaps, yesterday, had there been a: little more snow on the avenues, 0 that those gentlewen who have sleighs, or money with which to hire them, and are fond of making a display, could have done so.to more advantage. But of sieighing there was none, and the greater number of callers adopted the common ahd much cheaper methad-of walking or-using the street-cars. ‘The avenues on the South. Side, aterm which covers Wabashy;, Michigan, Tadiana, - Prairie, Calumet, etc., Were, a scene of ‘aui mated life, The sidewalks were -thronged with pedestrians and the streets themselves with carriages; the opening and ‘reépening of numerous houses gave evidence that their - inmates were enjoying that constant stream of visitors which used to be, and in some quarters ' §till is,: thee joy and de- light of~ the heart of "the . lady of the house. Other houses were chastely and® _simply ‘deeotnted - with - baskets of varying sizes, indicating that the ladies of _tilose par- ticular mansions were Teceivinge elsewhere, or were not receiving at all. ‘The fashion- able North and West Side streets - were shmi- larly crowded during the day, and when the sun weut down the lights in_many windows gave evidence that the mirth and happiness of the earlier hours had not come to an end, but were being continued into the night. It was a singularly quiet, peaceful, and pleasant day. ere were a few_people, and very few, who began the year in the police stations, owinz to too much indulgence New-Year’s Eve, or to the fact that they had dealt too freely with the property of “their neighbors and had_been_arrestedfor so do- ing. Preceding New-Year’s. Days . have been marked by sloppy weatner, by snow storms, biting breezes, fires, murders, orby a public’ display of intoXication. Yesterday was marred by none of these. Of drinking in private houses or saloons there was very little. Owing either to a change in manners or to the influence of the temperance socie- ties, the custom of offering wine New Year’s Day, has died out to 1 great extent. Another custom which is rapidly disappeaning here among people occupyng a-highex social posi- tion is that of promiscuous calling. It was found that the acquaiptances of a lady were in the habit of abusing the privilegesof New Year's Day by calliog upon her ac companied by & host of persons whom the Iady of the house knew nothing of. To chedk that, the customn has been adopted of sending cards of invitation to those persons whom the lady of the house desires to see. Old and intimate friends, of course, are ex- e Preser i} Badbeen in ja pected to call whether they receive them or not: but without them the run of ordinary acquaintaiices are expected to stay away. So from the combination of allthese circum- stances—from the pleasant.weather, greater restrictions in receiving, and the absence of riot and of crime, the first day of 1881 was so leasant thet it is doubtful whether it will Be ‘excelled by any New-Year’s Day for years to come. THE FARWELL HALL RECEPTION. A number of the ladies connected with the ‘Woman's Christian Temperance Union, the Woman’s Christian Association, .and the Young Men’s Christian Association deter- mined to receive in Lower Farwell yesterday in order to encourage those who are strang- ers in the. city to live temperate lives, and to set an example to other ladies. to offer no wine at table on New-Year’s-Day. For this purposa four large tables were improvised. and set in the most approved receiving style, with-choice cakes, sandwiches, cold meals,. foreign and ‘domestic fruits, etc., and a large urn of steaming hot coffee stood on the stage. All the good - things were the . generous contributions of good people who have a real desire to save young men from drunkards’ graves. Buteven kindness is. abused, and yesterday’s experience was 1o exception to this role, and showed that bromiseuous pub- lic receiving will not do, especiaily when free food and coffee are thrown in. At 11 o'clock the doors were thrown open, when there were _present Mrs., H. R.- Smith, Mrs. Dr. C. R. Waters, AMiss Tobey, Miss Souther, Mids Car¥, Mrs. Lowd, Miss Dr.. Morse, Mrs. J. H. Patterson, Mrs. J. E. fiimmvem;n,})![rls. Dr. Odelia Blinn. Mrs. V. S. Hil %g}e{i K. Anderson, Mrs. J. M Brodie, Alrs. A. H. Parsons, Mrs. Hagans, Mrs. M. M. Conklin, Mrs. K. 8. Greenlee. Ars. _W. L Midier, Mrs. Dr.. Moore, Afrs. K. A. Barnell, 2rs. D. W. Wihittle, 3liss Grace A. Fuller, and Miss Haud, us- sisted by Messrs. 1. 5, Vailand B. Schem- merhorn, who were to do the receiving. In front of hall, on Jadison street, was bung out it sign inyiting all. to come in.- No one expected that the Iadies .would be im- osed upon as they were for several hours. Their hearts were set on Teceiving ali: who came, but they had uo idea that 'a horde would swoop down upon thein to- consnme everything they had in a short space of time.” After the doors were . opencd PRICE FIVE CENTS. a stream of men of every class poured in. They were afl welcomed, aud were told to be seated. And the way the ladies had to rush about to wait upon all was appalling. A hundred were seated at atime. . They came in droves, from the professioual Iunch fiend down to the professional trmnp. And there were repeaters, who came again . and again and gorged themseives with cakes, apples, grapes, oranges, and coffee. Fellows who -had never known probably since. in- {ancy, when theirnothers washed them,what it was to be clean, were helped and _rehel agnin and again by beautiful and well-dressed Iadies. It was a treat and a Juxury for them, of which they . intended -to take tho fullest advantage. . ‘This thing kept up pretty well until thera threatencd tobe i famine in the land, cregted be unworthy men. 1t was found that the stores were closed, and the edibles could not, therefore, be replaced. So, at 2 o’clock it was determined. that the rabble should be shut out thereafter, and they were. * Trom that time on thers was not so great a rush. The room of the Y. M. C. A. was filled with young and old e, but only those who appeared at least cleanly and decent, and the friends of the ‘three ciations representedy were allowed in. There . was then “a - really enjoyabla and good time. Youngz men, strangers in the city, were made pmiculu}{ welcome, and the lunch was made to hold out untils o’clock, . when there was still some left, which was promiscuously distribnted.” 'The Iadies have learned that it. will notdo to have a promiseuous public reception for men on New-Year’s Day, in so central a locality, but to divide off iu various divisions of the f another reception is had. faras ceiving the friends of the Y. )L C. A. and the friends of the ladies’ associations repre- sented is_coucerned it was a success. and it Asso~ ; b will probably be repeated next year, when utn Iy Triends of the societies will be received | a arewell Hall. H AVENUE HALL. ¥ One of the cheeriest and most pleasant | places which was open to New Year’s eallers +* yesterday were the rooms of the Women’s ‘Temperance Union, at Avenue Hall, on Tywenty-second street. The roows were kept open from 10 o’clock fn the morning until 10" ; o’clock in the evening, and during that time | theladies entertained several hundreds of i persons. The following ladies were inat- ! tendance during the day aud evening to wel-- | come the numerous callers and serve refresh- | ments: Mrs, R. B. Pope, Mrs. Dr. Everest, : Mrs. Isabella Jones, Mrs. M. A. Cummings,’ Mrs. C. B. Alfon, Mrs. . C. Andrews, Miss | Mary 1L Loveland, Mrs. S. J. Lavender, Mrs. | F. W. Porter. Mrs. W. II. Newcomb, Miss 3L | Henry, Mrs. W. G. Waddell, Miss FannieMe- | Allister, Mrs, W. H. Whitcomb, Mrs. B. C. - Jones, Mrs. J. A. Cuwberlidge, Mrs. Dr. | Smith, and 3Miss Ida Mills. Refreshments ! consisting of coffee, sandwiches, cake, and | frait were served all the day and cvening, ! and were. of course, well patronized. | ‘The majority of the callers were young men, * but all were welcowe, and_during the even- ! ing especially a number of ladies were pres- | entand contributed to the pleasure of the | occasion. v i _ A very marked characteristic of the recep- | tion was, - that while awple occasion was | given to all to sign the pledge, ygt none were unduly urged so as to feel uncomfortable. 1t ! is sowmetimes the case in institutions of this - character that injudicious zeal oversteps the mark, and tends” to cause outsiders to keep away for fear of being anroyed by importu- nate entreaty. The utter absence of -this | feature yesterday made the Temperance | TUnion rooms a very pleasant resort. Strang- ers were warmly welcomed and made to feel at home, and _the masnitude of the success of the ladies is well shown by the pledge- book, which received something like ‘150 - signatures. The list of vis- Mors could ‘only. be partially kept, as they sometimes came- in half a dozenat a time, but it wentup into the hundreds. The . meubersiip. of the Union is at vresent | about 200, and it is & bright, wideawake in- stitution, and doing muel good. One attrac- on, if it may be. called such, yesterday was & [ ,‘according to his own ‘state- ment, twengy-twe 1 all out of his life, on charges'of drunkenness. - Heshowed his character very naturally in his face, and the ladies regardedl him asa better.illnstration of the evils .of intemperance than a dozen Jectures. He staid In the roowns 3everal hours, and, of course, signea the pledge. Another and corresponding illustration of the advantage of abstinence was pointed out * in.the person of a erl was induced to sign the pledge, and now has induced several of . his relations to follow in the same good way. £ * THE DIGNITARIES. . -* Tis Honor, the Mayor, kept ‘open house as usual ‘yesterday, and his callers were very numerous.
