NeUu Years Customs in European Countries Some Odd Pretty Mays in Which the Day is
 Celebrated in Many hands.

|aSg E@ @lT IS interesting to note, in connection lEM MAl with the reviewing of the customs and lEM Ml ceremonies which grow up about le1z@2Al niversary day of any kind. how much they reflect the character of the day celebrated, and embody the central thought which gave rise to it's national or international observance. It is also instructive to note the evolution which gradually takes place in the methods of obSery- ing any public anniversary day. To take down an old volume and read of how our forefathers threw themselves body and Soul into the spirit of such days as they rolled by, makes one realize that times have indeed changed, but for better worse will have to let each decide for him. self. A paragraph from Irving's Knickerbocker is illustrative of this point:
 New Year truly day of open-handed iberality, of jocund revelry, and warm-hearted ongratulation-when the bosom seemed to swell with genial good-feIowship-an the plenteous table was attended with unceremonious free dom, and honest, broad-mouthed merriment, known in these days of degeneracy and refine ment." And without taking up the challenge thus thrown out, that times sain't what they used to be- and willing to admit that perhaps we did make mistake in not arranging for our earthly advent 200 or 300 years ago. let look the bright side of the matter, and remember that the chap with the cooked hat and knicker- lockers has long since moldered in the grave, while have life and it's opportunities be- fore us.
 And the coming of the new year emphasizes this last thought and gives fresh hope as one feAllZeS all the pOSS1DlLI1eS ana opportunities lying hidden therein. It is this all pervading es- of thought of the New Years anniversary which be traced in almost every custom be- longing to the day, which has arisen in this or other lands.
 In France and the other Latin countries the great gift day of the year is New Years day. Tn the popular eye it is the greatest festival of the year. It is the great family day. In the morning the children out of bed and at their stockings before the light of day has begun to +l.,o c60CN Nf They then rush off to be the first to salute their parents and offer them good wishes for the new year. If any member of the family has died dur ing the year all the near relatives assemble at the grave in the early morning, renewing flowers and ornaments. After the midday meal, the younger members of the family cali upon the older ones and in the evening they all meet for dinner at the home of the oldest member, who is considered the head of the family. When the French speak of their family it is in the broad sense and includes all relatives

In Scotland, in France, New Years day lords it over Christmas. as the most important festival of the year. The day before known as hogmanay at which time the children Of the poorer classes ill the retired and primitive towns swaddle themselves in great sheets and go along the streets in little bands, calling at the doors of the wealthier inhabitants for a dole of wheat en bread or sweet cake.
 Another visitor whom every family expects on this night is the First-Foot, name given to the person who first sets foot over the threshold after the clock strikes 12. Hence in Edinburgh and other large cities the streets were thronged in the old days and there din and chatter in the air the First-Footers pressed up and down carrying het-pint, or bowl of hot toddy, which each offered the other with "A gude New Year. And girl caught the street, with escort. might be kissed by any youth. This merry rollcking custom prevailed until in 1911, when the rowdy and criminal element made it the occasion of bold robberies and held posses sion of the streets of Edinburgh for several hours since which time the First-Footer has come to be the exception rather than the rule.
 But it is to Germany we have to turn for curious bit of horse play in connection with the celebration of New Years St. Syl- vester's night. In many of the larger cities, and especially Berlin, everybody is privileged to bonnet with blow of the fist any citizen who ventures into the street after dark with high silk hat. The unfortunate visitor from the provinces and the stranger in the city the special mark of the roysterers Suddenly he finds himself the center of jolly group of and boys and the cry of Hut ab!' sounds in his and when he finally makes his escape it is with his hat rim resting on his shoulders and the battered remains of the crown of his hat resting his aching head
 In rural Russia New Years begins pre- eminenty juvenile festival. The boys rise with the sun, fill their pockets with dried peas and wheat, much after the of the American youth Halloween night, and go in bands from house to house. As doors never locked, it is easy for them to effect entrance They use the peas their enemies and the genter wheat upon their friends After breakfast the hanGsomest horse i'll the village is bedecked with evergreen and bright berries, and led to the house of the nobleman followed by the pea and wheat shooters of the early morning. The lord admits the horse and guests to his parlor, where all the family is gathered. This is the greeting of the peasants old and young, of their locd and master

 The Persians celebrate the begin ming of the year by exchanging pres ents of eggs, which is suggestive of the custom surrounding our observ- ance of Easter, and may convey with it the thought of new life and a new year, the egg, at least if it is fresh, symbolizing beginning and life with all its promise and possibilities.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
 It seems almost trite to remark that MT Polls tenth big vaudeville com pany, which opened yesterday as the Jacques. is the best that he has yet given us; and yet the remark appears to be justified. The leading feature, Sugimoto's Royal Japanese troupe, Is a most extraordinary one, easily real izing the most extravagant expecta- tions that MT Poli had aroused con corning them by his advance represent tations. No such remarkable cXhibi- tion of dexterity and daring has ever been seen on the local stage and 1t IS not probable that it has ever been eX- celled on any stage. There are nine per sons in the troupe, ranging ill age down to two little tots of eight who are the most remarkable acrobats that have been seen here. Some of the feats performed by this troupe are startling in their sensationalism, and keep the audience wondering how hu- man beings can be found daring enough to accomplish them. It is an act to astonish any audience, and 1t is one that will be talked about from one end of the city to the other. MT Poll has paid out big money for the act, but the holiday receipts were so large and the people showed such ap- preciation of the shows that he feels encouraged to invest his profits i'll the biggest acts to be found in vaudeville. The remainder of the show is. very fine, notably attractive acts being in- troduced by Yorke and Adams, Sfsson and Wallace the Brownings, Daily and Revere, Dudley and Orme, and Bran non and Martini. Prices are 10 and 20 cents for matinees, all ladies ID; evening prices, 10, 70 and 80 cents for all.

THAT GREAT CIRCUS.
nhe Whole State is Waiting for the
 Grand Opening

Grand Opening.
 That Connecticut Is taking a great interest in the circus and entertain ment presented by A. A. Duchenin, who is to personally direct Company As big show January 23, 24 and 2o. is shown by the fact that Hartford, New Haven, Norwalk, New Britain, and Bridgeport military and social or ganiZationS are anxious to secure dates from the New York vaudeville mana ger. But to all the entreaties of the applicants, Mr Duchemin has been forced to turn a deaf ear and Company A will accordingly have the honor of presenting the novel and unique en- tertainment before any other orgafil- zation in Connecticut.
 AS Company A and MT Duchemin are desirous of making a stellar show ing with the first presentation, Water bury will be treated to a high class entertainment. Military and society leaders from other state cities who are anxious to produce the amateur circus will be here to view the produc- tion Under Mir Duchemins skillful direction the circus will be produced with disregard for expense.
 The presentation will be perfect, as he has put on the amateur circus i'll several of the largest cities of the east, the experience thus gained en- abling him to offer the production without hitch or flaw. He has nu- nerous novelties to add to the inter- est in the production. One is the pro gram of the circus, which will create considerable amusement when offered here. This program will be of ;l char acter to insure it's preservation.
 Some noted professionals will ap- pear in conjunction with Company As galaxy of amateurs, and the showing of the professionals alone will be worth much more than the cost of ad- mission. All roads will lead to the Auditorium on circus night, and. as usual in circus time, the schools and x1actories will close while the per ra;Ormers are in the ring. Company As ringmaster will be Mark H. Reilly.
