It is an aus- picious date for starting on jour- neys and for making visits to rela- tives. Good news may be expected in the letters received on this date. It is a time when checks may be ex- pected and early gifts of many sorts may be received. Good feeling should be preva- lent among all who plan holiday festivities. This is an auspicious time for social entertainments, es-| | pecially dances.
