From the picturesque. but chaotic

Some New
Year Customs
THE sole record of the observance
of the New Year by the pilgrims

>dE sole record Oh the observance
Il of the New Year by the pilgrims
in the new world, named New
England, was most prosaic, most brief.
"We went to work betimes,' said Alice
Morse Earle, the famous investigator
of old-time American customs. Many
of the good Puritan ministers thought
the celebration or even notice of the
day in any way savored of improper
and unchristian reverence for the
heather god Janus. Yet they came
from land where New Year was sec
ond in importance and in domestic OBJ
servance only to Christmas. Through
out every English county New Years
eve was always celebrated. In many
it was called by the pretty name of
Singing Fen, from the custom which
obtained of singing the last of the
Christmas carols at that time.
In Scotland the last day of the year
was called by the uglier name of Hog
manay. name of unknown and in
explicable derivation, and in Scotland
it was regarded as the most popular
of all the draft days" as the Christ
mas holidays were termed. Scotch
children of the poorer class In small
towns still ask on that day from door
to door at the house Of weather. fami
lies for dole of Oat bread, calling out
"HOgmanay" or some of the local rimes
which are given in Chambers "Popu-
lar Rimes Of Scotland" such as:
Hogmanay,
Trollolay.

Despite the strong pot set fort
in the scenario of ''The Honor Sys-

the remarkable directing OF K. A.

Under Mr.. Walsh's skllful guidanle
the cast Of 'The Honor System" has
had every opportunity of displaying
their versatility.
The greatest care was exercised IN
selecting this cast. and the whole

throughout are true to type in every
particular.
