NEW YEARS DAY IN OLD
WALES

New Years day in old Wales was
not marked with such celebrations as
were some OF the other days during
the Christmas season. but there were
two customs observed which are
rather interesting. The first was the
visit OF the male members OF the
house to the homes of their neigh
bors on New Years morning. II was
considered unlucky for female to
enter the house first on New Years
day. but should this happen by acci-
dent, IL was supposed to be n sign OF
death In the family during the com
ing year. SO firmly rooted is this
old superstition in the minds of the
peasantry that some of the old folk
will engage men or boys to visit their
home on the early morning of New
Years day. ! was thus hired when
n boy on more than one occasion, and
took great delight in entering certain
homes as the first male visitor on
that day, for which | received a few
pence.
The second custom was tho visit OF
the waits" on New Years morning
with the New Years Water" The
waits" were supposed to be an es-
tablished institution of professional
musicians wearing arms, but now the
| name is used to designate companies
OF people who go around caroling dur
ing the Christmas season. On New
Years morning these waits" would
Journey throughout the community
Arriving at the door of home, they
would sing the following verse:
Get up on New Years morning.
The cocks are all n-crowing.
And II you think II II too soon,
Get up and look ut the stars and moon
After this they would knock loudly
and repeat slowly the following lines:
The roads are very dirty.
our boots are very thin,
We wish you all Happy New Year"
And please to turn us In.
When the door was opened n mem.
ber of the party who was styled the
Sprinkler" carrying in his hand a cup
of clear water and bunch of the
box tree. would sprinkle the members
OF the household with the New Years
water, repeating while doing 80 the
following lines:
Here we bring you water from the well
so clear.
For to worship God with us this Happy

GARMENTS FOR BABY

Almost impossible That She Should

Can you think of any more accept

just a useful and dainty collection OF
garments for the baby? There can
never be too many OF them sor child
wears out its clothes so quickly and
outgrows them as fast. and II is
comfort for the neat mother to have a
large wardrobe for her little one.
When you plan making presents to a
mother. don't embroider a pincushion.
or decorate laundry bag. or add to
her collection of whiskbroom holders
unless she is not near enough to
you to be able to accept a more useful
gift. Just think how you would like
some pretty little garment for your
little one and make one or set for
your friend.
For a child of the age OF one and a
half to three years the best materials
for making this wardrobe would be
nainsook or cambric for the under
wear; the same OF fine linen for the
dress and nice quality OF flannel for
the little sacque. Pink and blue fan.
