1t is customary in Scotland to 'sit out" the
old year. In the towns the custom dates from
time iinmemorial but in the country 1t was
long considered unlucky to be out of bed when
the new year was ushered in. Early in the
evening the children were washed and put to
bed An oat cake, known hammock. was
baked for each, and great care HAD to be taken
in the process of baking, for child whose
hammock was broken while being fired would
not survive the following year. At hSiIpast
eleven the seniors went to bed, but before
retiring they covered the fire and carefully
swept up the hearth carrying out OF the house
every particle Of ash. An anxious eye was kept
on the fire, however, for to have allowed it to
expire before the new year began would have
been unucky.
But it was different in the towns. Then, as
now, the streets were crowded at twelve
