THE NEW YEARS EVE FATES
How Curious Madens Can Find Out
What Is in Store for Them

book and mark a hymn Gin the dark,

HYMN she will find it's text will indi-
cate the event of the year
On New Years eve the Italian maid
en- places in one corner of her bed
room thimble, in another water, in
a third ashes and in a fourth ring.
Upon waking in the morning, II she
sees the ring first she will be married
that year; if she sees the water first
the year will be unlucky; il the
thimble, fortune will smile on her;
if the ashes, she will die.
On New Years eve, if maiden
wishes to know her fate during the
coming year she must go into the
open air with psalm book in one
hand and a piece of silver in her
mouth. She must allow the book to
fall open, and If it opens at the death
psalm she will die; if it opens at the
bridal psalm she will marry, and what
ever else it opens to will indicate her
fate.

HAPPY NEW YEAR CUSTOMS
Celebrations Of the Mummers in Olden
Days in Notwithstanding to
Revive Visiting.

On Friday, January /, the mummers
will mum-thats their way of ush-
ering in the New Year How many Of
them know the beginning Of the GUS
tom-or the ending, 1t began in
nocently enough, but by the seventh
century it amounted to "diabolical
paganism," outrageous, blasphemous.
Ruffians robbed and even murdered
under the pretense of merrymaking.
Not all was frightful, however, In
Rome slaves were waited upon by
their masters and the poor reaped
Veritable harvests, which was but nat
ural, since 1t all came from the sat
urnalia of the Eternal City.
In England the mummers performed
plays, spoke dialogues and imperson-
ated famous people, especially kings
and warriors. Songs were sung both
by the mummers and their entertain
ers. Here is one:
To shorten winters sadness
See where the folks with gladness
Disguised all are a-coming
Right wantony a-mumming
In those days they loved too, to
masquerade as animals, bears and
unicorns being especially favored dis
guises. SCOTS couplet summed it
up:
who lists may in their mummIng see
Tilces OF ancient minstresy.
At last this mumming came to be
a menace as we'll as a nuisance, and
the chaste Henry VIII made 1t a mis-
demeanor to wear a mask.
1t was George Washington who
made the day what it once was in
this country. Said he: Never forget
the cheerful and cordial observance of
New Years day" The celebration
grew and grew, until a generation or
so ago. the scenes enacted at some
receptions were simply disgraceful. So
ciety having progressed some since 1t
was good form to imbibe until the i'm
biber quietly slid under the table.
OF late years there has been tend
ency to revive visiting on the first
day of the year But 1t is all very
informal. and every hostess knows
each and every one of her guests,
which was not always the case when
q was the fashion to have as many
