THE FIRST HAPPY NEW YEAR GREETING
From the Earliest Ages Have Celebrated the Dav as an

All nations seem to have agreed.
since the memory of man runneth not
10 the contrary, to observe the first day
of the year as an occasion of feStivity
and mutual good wishes. When or how
this custom originated history does not
tell. 1t antedates history and extends
far back into the age of fable. Hun
dreds of years before the dawn of the
Christian era it was being celebrated
with considerable pomp in many parts
Of the world.
Before universal calendars had been
thought of as a remote possibility ana
the beginning of the year varied as TO
date in almost every part of the world,
this first day of the new year was rec
ognized as the one great FESTIVAL OF
the twelve months.
Tradition tells that Numa, who lived
nearly eight centuries before Christ.
celebrated a festival that was dedicated
to Janus on the first day of the month
sacred to the god. On this occasion all

Early in the history of the Roman

in January. There are traditions of

New Years Day, although it does not
come on the first of January in every
country, is an important day upon he
calendar. Some of the worlds great
est events have taken place on the day
which marks the advent of a new year;
great men and women have first seen
the light of this beautiful world on New
Years Day, others have died as the day
came in; and from the eaFaiest records
of celebration we find notice of feast
ing and interchanging of presents as
usages of the day.
Great Britain regards the first or
January with historic interest, since
it was on that day that the cooperating
union with Ireland was consummated
and the countries became known under
the monarchal term of the United King
dom of Great Britain and ireland. Al
though the Irish Parliament voted the
legislative union of the Emerald Isle
and Great Britain in 1900 it was not
until 1901, a year later, that the meas

countries became consolidate
