Callers Plodding Through Slushy Stroots and Under Leaden Skies, ‘The prospect this morning was not an encourag- 4ng one for callers, as the dreary drizzle of last night had continued, and the pavements were in that slushy condition known to our English oou- sins as “very nasty.” As the morning wore along the rain ceased, the sky began tolighten, and those who had contemplated a round of calls began to feel encouraged, At the time that people began to think sbout calling thetr carriages the weather soeried to have decidef in favor vi a semi-clear day//and sp, under these ondiiions, the obtfrvekzse of ce 7, New Yearcalling went ond fi, uncer these cireumstitmegs, the fair hostess oft lay inanisested an inte in meteoroi exe: sh caly by bat of thelr callers the Weather must be held entirely responsible, and hot the dearth of other topics of conversation. ‘The fmpecunious young man who did not feel able to comply with the demands of the livery stable men was deprived cf his customary speech to the effect Unat tt was such delightful weather that really he preferred walking to riding and so had left his carriage at home.

The decorations of the drawing-room suite were unusually simple and elegant, Inthe great salon, the east room, a few plants were set upon the mantels and taller ferns in the windows. ‘The chandeliers through out the floor were festooned with smilax. ‘The red parlor and green rooms were similarly unos- tentatiously decorated. In the blue receiving chamber the floral decorations were more elabo- rate. The two mantels were banked with flowers. Upon the right one was a design of red and white herizontal bands in red and white cameiias, edged with a row of red tulips, -and fringed with the red leaves of the poinsetta. In the center square Were the figures “1887” in red carnations, and tiny flowers of mignonette.
