In the ancient days the Druids sent
branches Of trees with good wishes on

runner Of our custom of sending flow-
ers with our New Year greetings The
Persians always exchanged gifts OF

reason for this custom Is not made
clear In any OF the records. although
mention of this fact Is found from
time to time.
First Footing"
New Year calling in Scotland was
known In the old days as first foot
ing" This is based on the belief that
the character of the first visitor on
New Years Day will affect the well
fare OF the household during the COM
ing year. In Scotland If luck was to
rest upon the home the first foot over
the threshold on New Years Day must
be that of man, and to provide
against such a catastrophe az a woman
being the drst visitor the people would
often engage certain boy or man to
come to their house at that time. One
old man in particular is said to have
made q business OF this. Shortly after
midnight he used to go quietly into
certain houses without knocking.
Then he stirred the fire ito let the
New Year In and offered greetings
to the family. Even today there are
restaurants in London where woman
will not be permitted to be the drst to
enter on New Years Day.
On the Isle of Man the FIRST foot"
must be one with an arched foot---one
that water runs under. This insurea a
fine garden during the coming yea
with no drought. Drinking the health
OF the New Year Is an old Scottish
custom A hot pint is always pre-
pared. This is a kettle OF warm spiced
ale to which various kinds Of sweets
have been added. As the clock strikes
twelve the company rises and each one
takes drink of the mixture, drinking

places and heralded the arrival OF the
Executive party with THE Star
Spangled Banner"
Everything moved like clockwork!
OF course, no diplomat was late. No
diplomat ever IS late for even most
casual appointment, and to be tHrdy
in greeting the ruler OF a Nation
would. in the eyes OF one accustomed
10 court etiquette. seem the gravest
raisdemeanor. Each ambassador or
minister. after having been presented
to the President by the latter's mill
tary aid, waited to present each mem
Der of his embassy or legation. These
latter individuals were then intro
duced to Mrs. Taft before the chief
foreign representative had paid his
own respects TO her.
After the Diplomatic Corps had
passed the receiving line, it's. mem
bers either loitered in the Green Room
or promenaded the corridor until the
time approached for them TO leave
the White House for the Pan-Anleri-
can building to attend the DIPLOMAT
breakfast and reception--which then
took second place In the days events
but now promises to be the foremost
function OF New Years Day in Wash

After the diplomats came the Chief
Justice and tho Associate Justices OF
the Supreme Court all members of
the Court being present unless Ill or
unavoidably detained, and for once
the word supreme" was a misnomer.

In every festival IN the old days
there were superstitious customs OF

Thousands of persons passed in line
before President Taft during his last
New Years reception--so many thou
sands that the sceptical would doubt
any one man could possibly have
greeted them ali---and the strain was
even greater upon Mrs. Taft, who
bravely tried to put an individual
warmth into her pleasant smile as
she stood beside the President, with
the ladies OF the Cabinet forming a
sort OF human sky line" behind her,
arranged according TO official prece-
dent rather than height or harmony.
Surrounded by his military and
naval escort---ail of whom had cele-
brated New Years by rising very early
IN the morning and arraying them
selves In full-dress uniforms before a

Ringing Out the Year.
Ringing the Old Year out began GEN.
turtles ago, when several men were ap-
pointed from each community to per-
form this service. This custom pre-
walls all over Europe and was brought
to America by our forefathers. In
the old days 1t was performed with
more or less ceremony. some of the
men being dressed to represent Father
Time They were followed by little
boys supposed to stand for the coming
year. In the Highlands of Scotland
1t was at one time customary ito burn
out the Old Year" with bonfires.
Quaint Customs.
In rural England and Ireland It was
the custom many years ago to be
smoked on New Years Day. This was
done by making fire In every room in
the house and shutting up the house
or course the human being could
stand this only for short time
Horses and cattle were put through
this ordeal as well as people. It was
supposed to be charm to keep man
and beast from harm during the COM
Ing year.
In the Tyrol when night falls on
December thirty first the head of the
house goes through the home sprink-
ling each room with holy waller. His
wife carries censor and the whole
place--house, barn and every building
of the farm must DO purified by the
sacred smoke and sprinkliug to be
ready for the New Year.

customary for poor children to dress
themselves In swaddling clothes folded
up in front 50 AZ to form vast pockets
and then go about the streets calling

Weather classes. They were then
given piece OF bread, oat cake or

Benton has approached every obsta-
