New Year's in France.

New Year’s in France is n greater day for exchanging gifts than Christmas. The custom of New Year’s calls, once so popular in this country, but now fallen almost, into disuse, is still supreme in Faris. Groat family dinners, in which the orange figures most prominently, add to the gajety of the day. So crowded nre the pavements on the boulevards that pedestrians sometimes have to take the middle of the street.
