And, in the United States, especially in cities, such as New York, this custom be gan early. Dutch settlers are credited with beginning this pleasant practice. The men called on the women; so the la dies saw men friends at least once a year. It is said that George Washington was sur prised by this custom when he went to New York, as the first elected Chief Executive. Gradu ally, the calling idea spread from the East coast to other states, and for many decades was a popular way of opening a new year. Our first President started the precedent (which continued to this century ) of holding open house for the general public on January 1. He and his wife, Martha Washington, continued such social affairs during the seven years the national capitol was in Philadelphia. Although John and Abigail Adams moved into the White House in Washington, D.C.. before it was completed, they managed to hold a reception there on New Year's Day in 1800. Thomas Jefferson followed their example. In 1804. forex- ample, he held open house, from twelve noon until 2 P.M. During this period, a large number of guests arrived, in cluding government officials, diplomats, military officers, and even some Cherokee Indi an Chiefs, along with "most of the respectable people of Washington and Georgetown.” On this notable occasion, the Marine band played, and "abundant refreshments” were served. Other Chief Executives con tinued this custom and various Washington social leaders re ceived friends and constituents on New Year’s Day. Ou/i CluiUimaA. tui6.lt la cut'i jj'Ue+tcLi: tttcuf, the.
