SOCIAL LIFE.

Many come to this country, anticipating, as it is a republic, to enjoy equality and liberty in every respect.  Although there exist no formal classes of society, as in the old country, all citizens enjoying the same privileges, yet there are distinct circles in society which to enter is not only difficult for the stranger but in many cases almost impossible.  In general, the people are very sociable, acquaintances are easily made and cultivated--persons will feel at home if they are not arbitrary.  Really, there is no country in the world that can boast of as many social organizations as the United States.  Literary, musical, military, church, school, temperance, and a vast number of other societies exist which give entertainments of almost every variety.

During the summer season excursions, barbecues, picnics and many other out-door amusements are given, while balls, concerts, theatres, festivals, dinners, banquets etc. enliven the winter months.  Witty and humorous speeches in which the American hardly finds his equal often spice these occasions.

The ladies are fond of company, like to make calls, and are very entertaining.
