tho New Year Season Brings Joy 60 the
YounE-TweIve Days Festival.
In the smaller cities of Russia, New
Years day Is in the Twelve Days FEES
tival." The Russians in many parts have
held to the old ways from time immemo-
rial. The preparations for the season
begin early in November. The host of
some great home begins To lay in stores
of salted beef and sausagcS. A'quors, etc.
The hostess calls on all her blends and
invites young anl old. Next day she is
succeeded by the nurse. who makes the
same rounds of visits. Her duty is 10 in
vite especially the young ladies. She is
hailed with JOY, and the lady of the house
hastens to mix for her the cup of wine.
She delivers hermessage and is piled with
questions as to the invited and rejected.
But the most important question is,
"Who are the electedY' These are the
young men invited by the hostess for the
girls or ''fair maidens," as they are
called. The duty of che young man thus
designated is TO look after the amuse-
ment and pleasure of his fair maiden
during the twelve days" The respon-
sibility of the choice lying with the host
ess. she has to be careful in her selection.
But the invitation has again to be re-
peated, this time by the master of the
house in the person of his servant or
''swat," who, with mace in hand, per-
forms his mission. On entering each
house he offers a prayer before the shrine
of the saint to which it is dedicated. lie
then delivers the invitation in the name
of his master or mistress. AT first, ac-
cording TO etiquette, the invitation is re-
fused. but after much pressing It is fin
ally accepted. When the day arrives. the
Young ladies who are the heroines of the
season appear in sledge, accompanied
by their mothers and favorite compan-
ions. generally girls of inferior rank, who
sit at their feet. This sledge is followed
by another containing the tire women,
charged with casl1ets and dressing boxes.
Other sledges follow, the longer the pro
cession the greater the honor to the
house visited.
On the arrival the host and hostess
meet the guests at the gate, bow with
| out speaking and conduct them into the
house. The young maidens are then de-
| livered over to the care of the hostess,
and after friendly greetings, presents to
| the domestics and sweetmeats to the
| girls. the mothers and retinue return
| home. On Christmas morning, as the
| bells are ringing, the hostess herself
awakens the fair maidens and serves
| their breakfast with the help of the
nurses. But very important part is
the Interpretation of their dreams on
this first night. Then the elected ar
rive. The days following are full of
gayety and pastimes for young and old.
This season is very important TO the
young people in Russia. who at other
times of the year, by the strict etiquette
observed, are kept much apart.

The custom of giving presents and par
ticularly that of exchanging New Years
calls is essentially Chinese. The coinci-
dence of these two rather peculiar acts
of brotherly love coexisting in Holland
and Scotland should furnish cause fOl
thought. 1t is little singular certainly
that the Chinese, who are not an over.
charitable or forgiving race, should ell
Join the forgiveness of all debts at the
beginning of the new year.
1t is an amusing spectacle in China to
see the creditor mercilessly hunting down
the debtor during the few days that re-
main. No one is exempt from the neces-
sity, for i'll order TO pay his own debts he
must in turn collect what is due to him.
The debtor who cannot fulfill his obliga-
tions by New Years goes into bankrupt
cy by the operations of Il custom stronger
than law. He undoubtedly earns thecon.
tempt of his fellow men, but at least he
is free from their persecution. His debts
are forgiven with quite as much sincerity
as could be expected under the circum-
stances.
Besides this painful phase of Chinese
Yuletide there are other preparations to
be made for the fitting celebration of the
great three day festival, beginning with
the first day of the first month. The
red peach paper which has been removed
from the doorway must be replaced, and
therefore about this time the profession
al letter writer of the Chinese quarter
takes his station ON the street corner and
is busily employed in writing sentences

gentlemen are more popular than 9TH
ers. a letter writer who claims to have
passed one of the inferior civil service
examinations, or who at one time has
been connected with fashionable joss

who has picked up his smattering of
knowledge at school, or by what is an
important factor in Chinese education
self help
II is quite customary also to bring
these red paper slips to the josshouse,
where for trifling fee they are stamped
with the seal of the joss. Certainly it is
worth taking some trouble with little
piece of paper which is to do duty for
an entire year, for as soon as the slips
have been prepared and stamped they
are glued to the doorposts against the
time when the evil spirits shall return
and make the last state of the man worse
than the first. The moral which the
Saviour pointed out to his disciples. that
.spasmodic effort is inevitably followed
by reactions unfavorable to the true
spiritual development, is fully borne out
by the history of the Chinese people,
