An Egyptian New Years Greeting.

An Egyptian New Years Greeting.
The following from Maspero's Guide
b the Cairo Museum Of Antiquities is
Of timely interest. showing how the
scarab was identified with New Years
celebration in ancient Egypt:
1.-THE Egyptians w%orshiped the scarab
from the most remote antiquity, for it
seems that in the beginning It was con
sidered as being n of the shapes of
the soul itself. So the image of it was
multiplied in order to assure to living
and dead alike a continuance Of being.
and. like all religious emblems held in
general esteem, it was used as q motif
OF o~rnamentation in jewelry. Scarabs
were set as rings. seals or pendants.

only an amulet. but an ornament, and
We're made of every size and material.
"A whole class Of scarabs bore good
wishes for the New Year: May Anon.

happy beginning of the year. Others
wished him to be provided with the
aura of life. or with life ITSELF"

1, 713 B. C.
In the middle ages it was religiously
observed by the flow of wine and the
eating Of baked meats. The chieftains
Of the European tribes appointed it
as the day Of receiving their captains
and vassals. Their chief was not adj
verse to receiving some token of re-
gard from his people to remind him of
them during the remaining 1854 days.
The people soon learned to consider it
good form as we'll as good policy to
bring with them a substantial remem-
brance.
Queen Elizabeth made New Years
day a general court occasion. in which
she greeted her loyal subjects and re-
ceived their gifts. 1t was customary
to present Queen Bess with the finest
raiment procurable. All the courtiers
tried to Guido each other in selecting
the most magnificent textures for their
royal mistress. Sir Walter Raleigh
one New Years morning outstripped
them all by presenting her majesty
with a pair of woven silk hose. the first
ever worn in England.
In northern climes the New Year has
always been one Of the chief gala days
of the season. The town folks always
call upon the chief magistrate and
drink his health. The idea Of paying
New Year calls in this country in a
general way for years was confined to
New York state, though other states
adopted it and practiced the custom to
a moderate extent. The early settlers
of jolly old New Amsterdam made the
advent day of the coming year the hap
piest Of the annus. In those primitive
times everybody knew each other from
end of Manhattan Island to the
other. After paying their grave re-
spects to the governor they visited
each other.
When the English came to New York
they continued the ancient custom.

lowship that has since prevailed be

popularity Of New Year as a day Of

or more, paying their respects to the
matrons first and winding up at the
home of their chief %attracter. Every
body who was anybody in those days

In fact, 1t was considered a duty be

creased in popularity and the calling
acquaintance Of the people in magni-
tude. The fair New Workers entered
into friendly rivalries with n anoth-
er as to who should receive the largest
number of callers.
The upper crust celebrate New
Year at their country homes. Occa-
sionally a solitary caller may be seen
walking through a fashionable avenue
a~nxiously looking for a house where
he once was a welcome visitor in or
der to pay his annual respects, but
nothing greets him but closed doors
and windows.
Because the fad has become passe
with the fashionables it does not fol-
low that there is no calling done. The
so called common people keep up the
ancient custom and look forward to

In times gone by it was one of the
p~leasantest of customs. and many who
condemn it secretly hope that it may
yet be revived with the unpleasant

And the good Mrs. Bowser removed
