How II Originated and Is
Carried On
tttttttt&tAtAAAA

\ 7 EXT to Christmas the most joy
Gus annual festival has been
the advent of the new year.
\ This has been so ever since
the Christian era. AS far back as the
history OF man can be traced the New
fear day has been an occasion of
feasting and rejoicing From the old
est authentic record it has been trans
mitted down to our times and is still
observed. The feast was instituted by
Numa and was dedicated to Janus,
who presided over the new year Jan.
/, 713 B. C.
In the middle ages it was religiously
observed by the flow Of wine and the
eating of baked meats. The chleftains
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 20 remind him of
them during the remaining 364 days,
The people soon learned TO consider it
good form as we'll as good policy to
bring with them substantial rcmem-
brance.
Queen Elizabeth made New lear'S
day a general court occasion. in viii h
she greeted her loyal Subjects aud re-
ceived their gifts Il was customary
to present Queen EeSs with the fncst
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 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 Il
general way for years was confined to
New York state, though other states
adopted it and practiccd 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
one end of Manhattan island to the
other After paying their grave re-
speets to the governor they visited
each other
When the English came to New York
they continued the ancient custom.
which helped to cement the good fei
lowship That has since prevailed be
tween the two races. For years the
popularity Of New Year as a day Of
feasting became 50 prominent that
Christmas was lost sight 81 Year by
year the calling custom grew in favor
The young women would try to out
do each other in the sumptuousness of
their table and elegance of their toilets
In the beginning of the last century
the young maidens took pride in the
fact that the clothes they wore and the
tables they set were the work of their
own hands. The galants would start
out early and go over list of score
or more, paying their respects to the
matrons frst and winding up at the
home of their chief attracter. Every
body who was anybody in those days
drank.
In fact. ii was considered a duty he
owed to society and TO his hostess TO
drink whenever he was asked and fill
the bumpers mp to the brim As the
city increased In size the custom in
