finished painting a door panel in one
of the halls OF the Hotel Crillon in
Paris. With his paint can in his hand
he hurried around the corner and
bumped into an officer in uniform who
was hurrylng in an opposite direction.
As the officer brushed the splashed
paint from his uniform the soldier
made profuse apologies.
"Oh. that's all right" replied the
officer, "Only be less speedy the next

upon the coming Halloween's ever
There were also curious dramas
which groups Of masquers performed.
They were generally given in the
kitchens Of the great house." but
often the family as we'll as the serv-
ants were present. Sir Walter Scott
insisted on having a New Years play
In his home every year.
Seeing the Old Year Out.
In some cities OF this country IL
used to be the custom to IRE of can
non and muskets. The ringing Of bells
is result of the religious side of New
Years. After the midnight services
were started the ringing OF the church
bells followed as a natural sequence
and was intended to remind absent
members of the congregation that the
year was passing.
Many superstitions are connected
with New Years day in all lands. In
Hartfordshire, England, the peasants
believed that IL a woman was the first
person to enter the house on the first
day of the year the whole twelve
months would be unlucky. II was sup
posed to be unlucky to meet q lame or
blind man, a monkey, a weasel or a
cat.
Odd Christening Custom.
In the north Of England, II a child
vas christened on New Years day a
little boy was engaged to meet the
baby as 1t was taken from its home, SO
as to avoid the possibility OF meeting
woman first. The boy received
cake and cheese wrapped in paper. for
his services.
And so when you hear the bells ring
out this year. whether you hear them
from your bed, a pew I'm some church,
an easy chair by smoldering fire or
chair at a restaurant table, don't /
think that what you are doing is any
thing new. You are watching a year
die and hoping or praying for the yesr
which is just born.

new YEARS Gifts
English Monarchs Practically Ex-
torted Offerings" From
Their Subjects.

II " ENRY VI is probably the first
IN English-speaking ruler TO
make capital out of New
Years gifts. During the
reign Of Elizabeth the custom rose to
Its greatest extravaganza. The Virgin
Queen, who apparently never lost an
opportunity for extracting money from
her Subjects practically ordered an
astonishing collection of gorgeous
presents of all kinds. The donors
ranged from the highest officers Of
state down to the very street cleaners.
Sums of money, costly ornaments,
caskets studded with Jewels, neck
laces. bracelets, gowns. looking-glass-
es, fans and curioslties from the new
ly discovered continents of North and
South America were among the pres
ents.
testers Greed Costly.
Another story of New Years gifts
concerns Archy Armstrong, a court
Jester of Charles /. which appears in
1.-The Banquet of Jests," printed In
1884. Archy was given a few gold
pieces by certain nobleman from
whom he expected larger gift. He
turned them over discontentedly In his
hand, muttering that they were too
light.
The nobleman, who would undoubt-
eddy have made a success in modern
business, remarked: "Prithee, then,
Archy, let me see them again; and. by
the way, there is one Of them which
would be loath to part with" Archy,
expecting larger gift, returned them
to the nobleman. who pocketed them,
saying calmly: 81 once gave money
into the hands Of a fool who had not
the wit to keep It."
New Years Eve Mosques.
Mosques In which the youngsters
took part were often given on New
Years eve. An old writer says of the
performance For this purpose they
don old shirts belonging to their IA

of brown paper. Attached TO this is a

New Year Thoughts

IN VERY first of January that we
arrive at is an imaginary mile
~ stone on the turnpike track OF
human life; at once a resting
place for thought and meditation. and
a starting point for fresh exertion IN
the performance of our journey. The
man who does not at least propose to
himself to be better this year than ne
was last, must be either very good or
very bad, indeedI And only TO pro-
pose to be better Is something; If
nothing else it is an acknowledgment
of our need to be so, which is the trst
step towards amendment. But, IN
fact, to propose to oneself to do well,
is in some sort to do well, positively,
for there is no such thing as a sta
tionary point in human endeavors; he
who is not worse today than he was
Yesterday, is'better; and he who is not
better, is worse.-Charles Lamb.
WYE ARE on the threshold of
" a new year. We do not
w know what the year holds
for US, but we are not afraid
Of il. We have learned to look for
kindness and goodness in all our
paths, and so we go forward with glad
hope and expectation.
1t is always a serious thing to live.
We can pass through any year but
once. If we have lived negligently
we cannot return to amend what we
have slurred over. We cannot cor
rect mistakes, fill up spaces, erase
lines we may be ashamed of, cut out

| children from the intimate contac
with toys they knew they could never
| own.
They had gone inside one of the big
shops and had been treated as we'll as
anybody they had not been afraid
They had looked to their hearts con
tent.
'It's true-what they's said," the
children agreed afterward, Gin there II
Is the land all right, where children's
dreams come true" For the reality OF
Fairyland had been expressed by the
marvellous and magical toys and games
and gay decorations of the Christmas
shop.
II, Gertrude Harding told herself
afterWard, these children had so loved
trip into the gayety of a children's
shop, were there not others who would
like to journey forth into the world OF
toys, too?
She thought it over. And did not
stop there She rang up a certain
number and asked for the matron.
You're the matron of the Children's
hospital, aren't you? Well, won
dered If any of your children would
care to go with me tomorrow and take
trip through the children's toy shops
They're most attractively fixed up this
year and some of them have special
attractions, a Santa Claus and many
other wonf1rouS features !"
So Gertrude Harding called for the
children. There were Is who were
able to 60 and of that Is the majority
were motherless.
Such an afternoon as Gertrude
Harding had. And such an afternoon
as the children had.
Those in the shops seemed especial
ly anxious to do what they could for
the children who were so obviously
from home or hospital. The mechan-
ical toys even seemed to put more
spirit into their performances Ger
trude Harding thought.
AS they were coming home several
little hands found their way into both
Of Gertrude Harding's hands. One
clutched a little finger, another had
hold of her thumb: so 1t went
"Mrs.," one of them ventured. '1et's
pretend we're al! children from a kin
dergarten and that you're our teach
er. Don't let's pretend we're from a
hospital, eh2"
Eyes. let's pretend that" she an
swered them. "Or how would it do to
pretend that ! WAS your mother and
that you were all my children?"
would you-hnnest-would you
pretend that?" one asked and the 9TH
ers looked at her eagerly hoping hop
ing. hoping she would not refuse.
''That would be the best pretend
Of ALL" she smiled at them.
So they pretended" and SO they
went back very happily from their
Christmas shopping trip.
Once again she took them on the

day before Christmas. It was hard
getting through the crowds, but it was
worth every effort
In one of the shops a gayly dressed
clown led the children In a process
sion. Once in a while he turned and
winked at them as though to say:
1--WE know what fun all this Is,
don't we? We're In the secret Of the
fun that children can have at Christ
mas time that the grovn-ups know
nothing of. They must just let us go
along and share our secret together,
chr?
And then the clown beat upon his
drum and the children all marched
stiffly behind.
When magnificent Santa Claus
asked the children to sing with him
and the voices of the hospital children
sang out with the rest Gertrude Hard
ing felt herself swelling with pride.
Later when Santa Claus perceived
that one of the hospital children had
an unusually lovely voice he asked
him to sing alone
And there In the shop he sang, sang
with the thrill of happiness that a
bird sings with when first he feels the
warmth and sweet fragrance Of the
spring.
He had never been asked to sing be-
fore like this-in big shop where
people were and where people listened
to him, not because he was being Wis.,
lied in hospital and must do his part
to entertain the visitors, but because
somehow or other they liked his voice.

Yes! She, Gertrude Harding, was @
"born mother" to whom no children
had been born.
But this year she had forgotten
something most important to be done.
And it was only several days before
Christmas.
She went down town, made her pur-
chase after quite delay and left the
shop.
Outside were three small children,
their faces close against the window
pane, their eyes cleaning, their small
ill-clad bodies tense and quivering

shifted the crutch which he had never
been without and which he would new
er be without to the end Of his days,
and then he was asked to sing an en-
core.
His face was flushed with the pleas
ure OF doing something which was
liked in this big outside world.
He looked at Santa Claus and
beamed.
He had already sung a popular song
which he had learned from the squeak
ing talking machine which someone
had given the hospital when 1t was no
longer fit for the home, and now he
thought he would sing something bet
ter. Somehow he felt it would be
proper, and vaguely perhaps he felt 1t
would show gratitude for Christmas
that went deeper. Dimly he thought
these things.
Someone had taught them a hymn
IN the hospital, hymn which he had
always loved. 1t made one feel bet
ter, stronger, happier somehow. It
was very glorious hymn he had al
ways thought.
And he sang:
ut came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old -
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold;
Peace on the earth, good will to men,
FROM heavens all-gracious king:
The world in solemn stiffness lay
To hear the angels sing
Right to the end of the hymn he
sang and the people thanked him and
Santa Claus told him it had been love
~ and gave him man-like clap on
the back.
