in question"
What Does Hosmanay Mean9
Just what the term 'Hogmanay"
means is uncertain. 1t is said to be
corruption of "Homme est me- Ga man
is born)' referring to the birth OF
Christ More plausible theories are,
first: that is is derived from the old
Scandinavian word "Hoggu-nott" ap.
piled to the night before the Feast OF
Yule and second, that it is from "Au
gui menez" Ito the mistletoe go), re-
ferrirc to the druidical ceremony OF
gathering the plant.
One of the oldest, most picturesque
and certainly the best known custom
was the "Wassail. This phrase, which
Il, supposed to come from the Saxon
expression "to your health" is famil-
lar to modern carol singers.
Spiced Ale a Feature.
The head of the household, just be-
fore midnight, assembled his family
around q bowl of spiced ale from
which, as the clock struck II, he
drank the health of each. He then
passed it to the rest, who drank In
turn-not a custom which would rec
ommend itself to the board of health
during the influenza troubles.
A general handshaking followed the
drinking of the toasts, after which
all sang gravely:
Weel may We a be.
Ill may we never see.
Here's to the king
And the guide companie
The whole family then started out
well provided with ale, buns, bread
and cheese to visit their neighbors.
If they met another party on similar
errand they exchanged drinks from
their ale kettles. Reaching the house
of neighbor, they entered with
shouted good wishes. If they were the
first to enter since midnight they had
the first footing" and as such must
give cakes or cheese and ale to every
person in the visited house.

is old FESTIVAL
New Year Celebrations and Ob-
ServanceS Are of Most
Obscure Origin.

YER since some forgotten
H. savage astrologer came to n
rough conclusion regarding the
length and nature of the di-
vision of time we call "a year" the
passing of one twelve-month period
and the coming of another has been
the occasion for celebrations, prayers
and the observance of countless
strange customs. Every race, no mat
ter how crude and inaccurate its meth
cd of calculation, has had n year of
sorts and has made its passing an
event in the life of the people.
The big dinners held in every hotel
and many homes on New Years eve
are symbolic, though the diners hardly
pause to wonder what is the reality
behind the symbolism, recently OBJ
served writer in the Boston Globe.
The ringing of the bells, the watch
services in churches and houses, the
gifts-are all relics of customs so old
that there is, perhaps, no man who can
say with certainty just how or why
they came into existence.
Probably Oldest Festival.
For the New Years festival Is as
much older than the Christian holiday
which precedes 1t as the Unborn human
instinct to worship something is older
than the religion of the Carpenter of
Nazareth. Christianity has merely
adopted the New Years festival.
The ancient Romans made of it
general holiday, with sacrifices to
Janus of the Two-Faces, and gifts and
visits. The gift custom seems to be
universal and is observed to some ex-
tent today.
The old Persians had a custom
which would have been much appreci-
ated just now. They gave their friends
eggs. Presumably. for the custom was
widespread among all classes, the
price of those was much lower in an
clent Iran than in modern America.
In-France the custom of New Years
gifts has survived longer than in any
other European nation. The druids of
Britain presented their friends with
branches of sacred mistletoe.
Frowned On at First.
The early Christian church rather
frowned on New Years observances,
probably because of the ancient Rom
an rites connected with 1t and with
the saturnalia which preceded 1t. Its
first mention as n feast in Christian
literature is In Canon II of council
which met in Tours in 567. Later II
became recognized festival In the
Catholic and Episcopal churches.
In England and Scotland the festival
has been observed to an extent equaled
In few other countries. 1t was called
"Hogmanay" in Scotland and was the
great national holiday. 1t was for
merly attended by celebration which
