April and May were sitting on a

a beautiful Bloodroot, in a pure white

she looked like daffodills on a moss
bank, and tiny streams trickled of
her dress. June was glorious mass of
roses and green leaves. She f1uttered
with pleasure as Old Year approached
her, and threw a rose at him crying :
''In memory of the happy morning
when you babe me live"
July was Respondent and Old Year

The first day of January. 1910. was
made memorable in East Haddam,
Conn.,, by a happening that was in Its
way wholly extraordinary. There
were in the town nine unmarried
cided that husbands must be found for
them. Accordingly, in the spirit of an
enlightened public enterprise, nine
men agreed to marry them, and on the
aforementioned date ali of them be-
came wives, an elaborate ceremony
and much rejoicing signalling the
event.
On New Years day, 1914, London
experienced a most remarkable fog.
The city was immersed IN sea of sus-
pended moisture that extended for a
distance of 20 miles beyond its out
skirts. Business was at a standstill
and many people lost their lives by
falling into the Thames river and into
canals.
Four years later, on the first of
January, 1918, the White House (Which
had been burned by the British troops
in August, 1919 was for the first time
thrown open to the public after that
tragic event, at a New Years recep-
then, however, the building was still
undergoing repairs, which were not
completed for more than a twelve
month. 1t had newly received its first
coat of white paint, to conceal the
marks of fire that married the brown
ish stone of which it was built. The
cost of reconstruction was $246, 400.
On the first day of January, 1925,
Great Britain recognized the indie
pendence of the South American re-
publics.
Paul Revere, hero of the famous
ride, was born January L, 1735.
Mason and Slidell, the Confederate
commissioners, left Fort Warren for
England January 1, 1862.
President Lincoln issued his procIa-
nation emancipating the slaves Janu-
airy 1, 1868.
These are only few Of the many
notable events that have marked New
Years day in history. To give any
thing like a comprehensive list of them
here could not be attempted. Some of
the most important happenings of an
eient times, in Rome, in Greece and
elsewhere, are also associated with the
first day of the year.

brings you to visit me? It's only the
thirty-frst of December
But Pm last January said the
little fellow. Old Year laughed. "Of
course you are. You came IN my
waistcoat pocket and popped out be
fore the others-they were afraid of
the cold.''
"Ohl glad you haven't quite forgot
ten me. Now listen, Old Year, we
Months have a great scheme for to-
night. We're going to feast you in the
Ice Palace on Time Mountain. We
shall all be there, the whole lot of us,
and you must come, too"
you're very kind" said Old Year
"but really I'm so tired I'd rather sit
here and dream away my last hours"
"Now, don't talk like that, Old Year,
the party can't take place if you don't
come. How can we Months hold to-
gether without your"
Old Year smiled "All right" he
said. I'll come, but all my clothes are
worn out"
Another excuse cried January.
"Come along, they're all waiting. Be
sides, there's a surprise outside"
Old Year started at the word "sur-
prise" and then he strobe out of the
house with January on his shoulders.
Now although he had lived every
minute of the year there was one
thing that Old Year had never done
he had never flown in an airplane. So
imagine his establishment when he saw
a great white biplane covered with sill
yer frost outside his door. A gay,
breezy little fellow, whom he recog-
nized as March, sat in the pilots seat.
He wore silver goggles and looked
every inch an aviator
Old Year and January got in behind
the pilot, and soon the great silvery
bird was soaring up into the cold,
starry night.
They passed over cities and vii
where Old Year noticed preparations
for the coming of his successor.
They'd be surprised if they knew
where / was now" he thought. And
then he gave up his spirit to the JOY
of the flight.
Finally Time Mountain came in
sight, and as they approached they
saw a dazzling sight The whole
mountain was blazing with light, and
ated electricity.
When the airplane came into view
a great cry of joy was heard. and a

Old Years
Party
BY Marguerite Hope

1t was New Years eve and a thin
old man with wizened face was sit
ting by the fireplace. At first sight
you would have said that he was
rather a disagreeable old chap but
on closer inspection you found out
that he had very bright eyes and
quite a humorous smile round his
mouth.
It was surprising that Old Year
was feeling rather sad 1t was his
last night on the dear old Earth. The
next morning, long before it was day
light, he must fly away in a big snow
storm, and New Year, all fresh and
rosy and splendid, would take nis
place.
Old Year wasn't the least afraid of
what the future might bring, only he

fast
Old Year patted them kindly with
his big hands. They flew round him
very quickly, and in some magic way
Old Year was carried to the top of
the mountain. There he saw won

written in huge letters I'm Honor of
Old Year.
Accompanied by the Minutes and

Christmas tree over his shoulder.
After exchanging kindly greetings
with the whole company, Old Year
stepped up to June and asked her to
open the ball with him. For reply
she strewed him with her petals, and
then such a dance began as never
was seen before. The Minutes few in
by the windows, and the Seconds
jumped out of the cracks in the
Ice floor. Everyone was giddy with
joy and excitement, and Old Year,who
a few hours before was meditating
by the fire, now danced till even lively
June began to weary. Then he took
sweet April in his arms and the little
red feet and legs positively twinkled
round the hall. March executed a
wild dance with October. and blew so
hard that bits of his partners dress
were Strewn over the floor.
At half past eleven some of the
Minutes screamed out that supper was
served, and Old Year and his friends
flew to take their last meal together.
Every imaginable dainty was on the
table and the dancing had made the
jewellers hungry

midnight, and they closed their eyes
and slept, too.
At this moment some beautiful snow
flakes few in through the windows.
They formed themselves into a kind
of blanket and wrapped Old Year ten

going to cover up his face a pale blue
