CAVES BUILDING SUPPLIES Don Rosenberg and Herb Drews Good Fellowship and Good Cheer Linger On is the gallantry and chival- C 'xONE J ry of the gay nineties, but it’s still nice to talk about it. Nothing reflected the decor or the formality of those halcyon days more brightly than the annual New Year's Day festivities held in the better homes of the land. In them, good cheer, good fellowship and of course — good manners abounded, all in keeping with the times, the good old times. Months would be spent in prepa- | ration for the occasion and when the fateful day arrived the homes would i be decorated, the finest foods and drink spread on the table, and the coyest coquettes lined up to receive the gay blades popping through the open gates to partake of the m erri ment and wish one and all "Happy New Year! I sincerely wish you many joyous returns of the season.” The young dandies making the rounds cut quite a figure. Custom dress for these occasions included the conventional swallow - tailed coat. In travelling to their destina tion. they would ride in a grandiose hack with a huge, rounded front window, permitting unobstructed view of the outside—and them selves. If they wanted the finest team in the stable—and they did— they dug deeper in their pocketa, and paid willingly. News to Your Friends Send The Illinois Valle • A New Year looms before us.
