THE MOQUiS NEW YEAR.
Mythical Drama Acted to Placate the
Enemy of the Sun.

A Mythical Drama Acted to Placate the
Enemy Of the Sun.
The Moqui New Years celebration.
called So-yal-u-na, is largely presen-
tation of singular and elaborate mythic
drama, divided into two parts, in which
offerings are made to efigies of the great
plume headed serpent, the enemy OF
the sun, followed by a sun dance, in
which the conflict between the sun and
the inferior hostile gods is admirably
portrayed by Moqui men personifying
the various deities.
This celebration IS primarily per-
formed by warriors and commentaries

solstice. In other words the Moqui woe.
fully fear, when they see the sun going
farther and farther to the southward
each day, that he is going to desert
them and leave them alone upon their
cold, weary, sand blown mesas. One
wonders little that in this dread situa-
tion they have initiated profound and
mystic rites with view to propitiating
the evil one who would harm their
dearly beloved eternal fire.
Day by day the old men and seers OF
the tribe watch each morning the point
at which the sun rises from the eastern
horizon Of the pinnacled and ragged
mountain range They have found a
particular notch between two peaks,
past which the sun does not travel in its
southern march, but. instead it stops
and returns over it's long and dreary
trail to bring ultimately the spring, the
butterflies, and, most precious Of all, the

SLEEPING CAR MANNERS.

cwo Girls Tell Of Experiences With the
American Man.
There were three or four young
women in a parlor car on New
Jersey railway the other day and
two Of them gave their experience
in travelling alone at night. One had
ventured the remark:
1.-THE American men are always
polite to women travelling alone. If
they are not, it is certainly the
woman's fault. She is forward or
common or something"
That started the conversation.
One girl didn't know about this
and protested:
"Girls, you know I am not for

NEW YEARS CALLS.
A Good Old custom That Should Not Be
Allowed to Die.

4 Good Old custom That Should Not Be
Allowed to Die.
The formal custom of receiving New
Years calls has nearly died out in our
large cities, it having been superseded
by the regular afternoon and informal
evening receptions, to which gentlemen
take more kindly than to the old =.
ioned New Years party The 60 /
Knickerbocker habit has not. however,
died out altogether 1t has only been
brc ken up into different forms, the result
of the complex conditions of modern life.
So1le families still maintain the Gus
tori in it's entirety Some give formal
dinners, not the family" dinner, which
is usually the part of the Christmas
festival. and in the country carriage
loads not infrequently go round from
house to house making merry calls,
picking up additions to the party and
finally ending with supper at some hos
pitable house and in an evening with
games refreshed by apples roast chest
nuts. homemade plum cake and sweet
cider
1t is now said that this custom of
making New Years calls in the city
belongs to time when making calls
had not become daily business pur.
sued for want of other occupation by
men and women of leisure 1t Is true
that it belongs to a time when men
were too busy to do much visiting and
gladly seized this annual opportunity
Of looking up old friends, and especially
the busy wives and mothers they had
known as girls, and recalling and re-
counting the scenes and events OF their
youth.
This annual Frightening Of the links
of old friendship is the special function
of New Years calls. The day Is put to
very ba6 use when it is employed in a
mere effort to count up long list OF
names of people whom one may have
seen yesterday, or the day before, or
who have no steady purpose to prevent
them from calling every day of their
lives ~

Came in garments brightly glistening.
Singing DER and o'er again:

Tell to all below the story
Of the wondrous Saviour's birth.
Tell of how he came from glory
To be crowned the King Of earth.

Open far and wide they swing,
For Messiah unto mortals
Full forgiveness now doth bring

A QUESTION OF PEARLS.

II was a hrst evening at dinner ut
the exclusive New York boarding
horse. Most of the guests kept the
same rooms year after year. and only
during their absence in the spring or
summer could the ordinary stranger
find admittance. Two large houses
were thrown together by q door cut
through the partition on the first
floor. The dining room seated about
forty people, most of whom were in
their places when we were>shown to
our chairs at q small table. At q
glance noticed the ladies sitting OPP
posite to us, evidently mother and
daughter, and that feeting look left
an instructive distrust of the daugh-
ter. She was q self-possessed young
lady of pleasing appearance and ap-
parent decision of character. Pretty
scft brown hair waved slightly over
her forehead and matched the shade
Of her neat gown. Her jaunty jacket
of rather masculine cut suggested py
it's chic appearance the aid of a skill
full tailor. For the res, her ease OF
manner betokened an unusual knowl-
edge of the world and its ways. Al
she slipped her coffee, gentleman
about to leave the room stopped at
the table.
II hear, Miss Harvey, that you are
fitting across the water again" he
said.
"Yes," she smilingly replied, you
know 1 only came over for mother
and I would like to return in time for
the London season." She raised her
Gun of coffee in her hand. How long
are we to be away? Oh! Possibly
two or three years this time. wna' u"
you say mother?"
The older woman had taken no
mart in the conversation but now re-
ioined. Julia is never contented IN
this country"
Mrs. Harvey was a woman OF stfik-
ing elegance of mien. Beautiful grey
hair and . delicate complexion COM
bined with q patricsan cast OF feat
ures would have rendered her OF not
able distinction in any gathering.
The distrust of the daughter, how
ever, deepened to an unconqueraoie
repuenance for the mother. Yet but
one trait of character had left legi-
HE mark on those delicate and re-
fined features, and that was indomit-
able pride.
The next evening I met the land
lady in the hall She asked me to re-
turn to the drawing-room later. I'VE

When 1 entered the room the
young lady was playing q bit OF
Chopin to half dozen persons. Her
admiring audience failed to note that
her performance was superficial and
inaccurate. Her fingers fingered ON
the closing chords as she glanced up.
Il win now give you = little waltz OF

q eay, soulless air. At its close her

then some one brought her to me.

q host of friends and relatives. She
was often out making farewell visits
and her little room became . bower Of
roses from the gifts Of these friends.
In all her hurry she found many .
minute to devote to me and yet my
distrust remained.
Her affectionate manner and intel
lectual brilliancy could not obliterate
that first impression.
The people in the house did not
mingle in the least and the Harney's
were our only acquaintance. Julia
gave me o photograph of Mozart pur-
chased in Dresden and won a promise
that I would accompany her to tie
steamer. Nothing had been discover
ed to her disadvantage, nothing UNI
pleasant had happened and I began
to think my intuitive faculties were
disease an tainted with the canker
of unjust suspicion.
Julia had a married sister, Eugene,
living in a suburb of New York, who
often came to the house.
On the day preceding their depar-
ture, Mrs. Harvey came nervously to
our door. She had not been in our
rooms before. 81 want to ask a IA
vor of you," she said, 1T is a little
family agreement, which perhaps you
would be willing to sign"

mother replied, and you may be un-
able to find us again."

a matter of no consequence-better
SO perhaps. 1 will explain. Julia is
very anxious to take my pearl neck
lace with her to wear in England, but
l have loaned it to Eugene. Really.
Julia ought to have the necklace, but
Eugene, being the elder, feels that
she has the first right to it at my
death, and now she is unwilling to
give it up-of course she would give
it up, but she win be better satisfied
If we sign an agreement that the
necklace shall be restored to her on
our return"
We were dumbfounded. This was
our first knowledge of a daughter
who would require not only that her
mothers promise should be in writ
ing, but that it must be signed &
witnesses. The slip of paper stated
that the pearls were borrowed from
Eugene for the English trip, but the
words relating to their return were
a marvel of ambiguity.
Did Julia write them, / wondered.
Feeling for Mrs. Harney's embarass-
ment in exposing her family disputes,
we silently attached our names.
IF you should need us at any
time" I began, perhaps you could
reach us through"

terrupted me, "Julia will know best
what to do and will no doubt be able
