example to shame the pagan reVelers.
That the revelers were not sufficiently
shamed is shown by the fact that as
late as 537 A. D. the council of Tours
specifically condemned the pagan OBJ
servancc Of New Years day, by that
time further corrupted through the in
PRODUCTION of Druidical rites from the
provinces Of Gaul and Britain.
The custom Of celebrating the first
day of the year as the feast Of the two
faced god. Janus. and Strenia, the god
dess Of gifts, was introduced into Rome
by Tatian. king Of the Sabians. friend
of Romulus. but it was not until the
reformation of the calendar by Julius
Caesar that Jan. l became the fixed
date of this event. On this day the
priests sacrificed to Janus on twelve
affairs. from which sacrifices they drew
representations for the ensuing twelve
months. The practices of exchanging
gifts and visits and almost all the New
Years day customs as we know them
were gradually incorporated into the
feast of Janus and Strenia.
The sacred mistletoe, used by us as a
Christmas decoration and as an excuse
for amenities not permitted at other
seasons, was contribution Of the
Druids to the Roman New Year fes-
tival
With the fall of the Roman empire
and the subsequent dissemination OF
Roman customs throughout Europe by
the barbarian conquerors New Years
day came to be universally observed.
different tribes adding to or subtract.
ing from the accessories to make them
accord with their own mythology.
In the middle ages. particularly after
the introduction Of the Gregorian cal
endar, the church began to shape the
general observance Of the day until
now it is a distinctly Christian holiday.

THE ORIGIN OF
NEW YEARS DAY

New Years day as holiday was in
vented, like so many other lasting in
stitutions. by the patricians of ancient
Rome. Though its Significance. has
changed, its customs remain practically
what they were before imperial Caesar
died and turned to clay. Noble Ro-
mans on the LIST day Of January in the
year A. D. arrayed themselves in
clean shirts and togas and sailed forth
to greet their Julias and Calpurnias
with as much assurance as the young
American of the last decade, In high
hat and frock coat, started on his round
Of New Years calls.
The Romans. too, had their clubs.
and on New Years day their side.
