The last December night,

Until the next years light.

Dragging footsteps came up the path.

The Chinese New Year.

"Gar-ne-fo-Toy"-Happy good luck
to you, may you be prosperous, may
your honorable family be prosperous
and may the spirits Of your ancestors
rest content-is the gist of the Chinese
New Years greeting. The New Year
festival begins the last of January and
continues two weeks.

exactly one day later. Even If you do
not keep the sun over you on your
voyage, 1t is apparent that you will
reach your starting point with your
calculations one day out, unless you
have provided for this by striking out
an extra day on the calendar If you
travel against the sun you will have
to add a day to the calendar.
The convention that has been estab-
lished with regard to this matter is to
consider the day as beginning at tho
180th meridian, so that the 1S1st
meridian Is always day ahead OF the
179th. AS the day begins first at the
180th meridian, the New Year comes
first at that point, too, being there
twelve hours sooner than 1t comes ut
Greenwich.

''And the feast of ngathering at the years end''
So the year dies. and SO
Into the aftergoW
All the years days SO.
We count them, one by one.
Days filed with shade or sun,
Days of great tasks begun,
Days Of achievement;
Days when we, weak and fran,
Felt all our courage fail,
When we, benumbed and pale.
Met our bereavement.
And far and far away
We find the years first day.
But was It sad or gay,
Can remember?
Slowly they die, the days,
AS does some ruddy blaze g.
End in smoking haze ~
Or crurnbling ernber.
Joys-there were joys to spare;
Criefs-there were griefs to bear,
Ah, and the joys all fair
Spent on the rnOrroWS!
Joys were the clinking gold
Dropping from out our hold
We, like to noisers old,
Clung to our sorrows.
And this is stranger still,
Sorrows that worked US i'll
Nor grow as sorrows will.
To things we cherish;
And out Of all the year
We find that sigh and tear
AS blessings now appear
And cannot perish.
So do we count the days
Down all of times long ways
And with dim peace we gaze
On bond and fetter;
And know at last that all
Of the blind blows that fall
And the cups brinmed with gall
But make US better.
So dies the year, and so
Gently we come to know
