New Years Gifts In Spain.

In Spain. as well as in Portugal, the
luxury to which a pretty woman de-
votes the most care and attention Is
the lace used in the fashioning Of her
fan and, above all, of her mantilla.
Few men have any idea until they at
tempt to make a New Years offering
of this kind Of the amount of money
that can be lavished on even the tlnl-
est piece of lace, particularly If it hap
pens to be old Italian or Spanish
point dating from the sixteenth or
seventeenth century. Ignorant as the
Spanish woman Is on most subjects,
she Is conspicuous for her profound
and extensive knowledge Of the diff
ferent kinds Of lace, and her talent
for distinguishing point d'alencon from
point d'argentan. and point de venise
from that old Italian point known by
the name of Greek lace, Is only equal
ed by the grace with which she wears
the national mantilla and maneuyers
her fan.-Chicag0 Times-Herald.

A Christmas Tree Feature.

Dancing Christmas fairies always en-
hance the children's delight in the
Christmas tree and, once made, can be
used year after year. Buy up a dozen
or more Of 5 and 10 cent dolls, and to
add to the variety have among thE
number some Japanese and colored
dolls. Dress these to represent fairies
in bright hues Of spangled gauze, tar.
latan or tissue paper and literally
sprinkle their hair, and garments with
diamond dust powder. Each doll should
be provided with dainty pair Of fairy
wings made from spangled tissue pa.
per and fastened to the body by means
Of concealed wires. These wires should
be coiled to obtain motion in the wings,
and nothing better can be used than
the fine spiral coils that come out OF
wornout wire stitched brooms. The
least motion will set this spiral TO
quivering, causing the wings to move
as If in fight. In like manner use the
spiral wire to attach the dolls In hover
ing positions over and around the tree.
The effect Is magical. Every footstep
causes jar enough to start the dolls
dancing and circling above and around
the tree, as If the invisible fairies OF
the air had come down to join the
Christmas glee.-Woman's Home Com

ROMAN NEW YEARS.
Various Dates Celebrated Mt Diner-
ent Periods.


ent Periods.
The good old Romans, who had some
hard common sense In spite Of their
self conceit, believed thoroughly In
New Years day. They were charac-
teristically careless as to when 1t
should be celebrated, and sometimes 1t
was held at. various dates Of the year
by communities living at no greater
distance from each other than a rail-
road train would take them In these
days in a few hours. But so long as
they got the full number Of high days
and holidays into the IL mouths the
good old Romans cared little whether
they adhered strictly to the almanac
or not. - tf.k
Even when Christianity became an
established institution In the Land and
the Christian leaders began to sys.
tematlze the days for celebrations In
which the church participated there
was still difference Of opinion as to
the, day on which New Years could
properly be celebrated. It Is even on
record that New Years day has been
kept on the date set apart for Christ,
mas, while it got SO mixed up with the
other divisions Of time at another pc
Rod that 1t was kept on Easter day
one year and on the 1st Of March on
another. 1t is necessary to trace the
celebration of the first New Years day
clear down to the sixteenth century be-
fore any definite understanding of the
proper day for the celebration can be
found.-Brooklyn Citizen. ~.

NEW YEARS IN SCOTLAND.
Bringing In the New Year at Iron
Church, Edinburgh.

CnQrcn, JQlnDurBu,
New Years Is the great Scottish hol-
lday. Christmas Is Of course an off,
clal holiday. and in the Large towns.
despite old prejudices. its observance
Is becoming more recognized among
the better sbusiness houses. But for
The general population of the country
the New Year is the great holiday festi-
tal. and, though temperance sentiment
ls making it's way, there Is still great
deal Of hard drinking at this season.
1t is none the less fact, however, that
the spread of temperance education
and the better amusement Of the peo-
pie are gradually having their influence
In making New Years less of a satur'
MALTA than it was wont to be.
Bringing in the New Year ut the Iron
church, Edinburgh, Is time honored
custom which does not seem to be fall
Ing into disuse. On the last night OF
1898 thousands Of young people. with
sprinkling Of older persons. congre-
gated as usual at the Iron church,
which Is in the heart Of old Edinburgh,
to speed the passing. year. When the
church clock showed midnight, q loud
cheer was raised. handshaking became
general, the old salutation, "A happy
New Yearr' was heard on all sides. and,
bottles of the national beverage having
been produced from topcoat pockets,
healths were generously pledged. Aft
er this had been done bands of roister-
ing youths and maidens set of to first
foot" their friends.-Chicago Record.

sweetened ale or egg flip Is the pre-
scribed beverage for the drinking Of
healths on New Years. In Scotland
the housewife takes care before retir-
Ing the last night Of the year to spread
the ashes smoothly on the hearth. II
In the morning the print of foot can
be detected, with the toe pointing to-
ward the door, It Is thought to fore
tell a death in the family during the

CHRISTMAS LONG AGO.
The Banquet In Old England Was ..
Event of Great Ceremony.

The Banquet In Old England Was IN
Event Of Great Ceremony.
The Christmas banquet of mediae.
val times was very brilliant affair,
followed by spectacular performances,
particularly at court, where process
sions. dancing and the acting Of allie
gories were favorite amusements. Be.
sides t. representations, the ballet
frequently acted some simple story. A
favorite allegory represented Prone
theus stealing the spark from heaven
and making his escape, Vulcan and
Venus forging the bolts Of Jove, the
fall Of Phaeton, the love Of Semele
md its fatal catastrophe. and Love
and Beauty setting the universe On
fire with their united power.
From the time Of Henry VIII until
nearly the close Of the seventeenth cen.
tury boar's head was q favorite dish on
Christmas day. This was an event OF
great pomp and ceremony. After the
guests had assembled around the fes-
tive board the procession Of retainers
Appeared. Then
Was brought the lusty Drawn
By old blue coated serving man;
Then the grim boar's head frowned on high.
Crested with bays and rosemary.
While round the merry wassail bowl
GaInished with ribbons blithe did trowl.
At Queens college, Oxford, the
bringing in Of the boar's head was at.
tended with professional honors. The
boar's head was carried in by the
strongest of the guardsmen, singing
merry stave.
The turkey as a Christmas dish was
introduced into England In the six
teenth century and Is therefore Of less
antiquity than the huge sirloin Of beef
or the mince pie. Mince pies were first
shaped like a manger, as were the
Yule cakes given out by the bakers to
their customers. Mince pie was also
long ago accepted as typical Of the
riches and spices brought by the three
wise men to the Child in the manger.
The plum porridge later developed
into the plum pudding, which dates
from 1875. At the old Christmas
feasts peacocks and cranes formed
some of the dishes. Before being roast
ed the peacock was carefully skinned,
and after leaving the oven the bird
was reclothed with its old plumage.-
