upon the coming Halloween's eve!"
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 it
used to be the custom to fire off 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 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 If woman was the first
person to enter the house on the first
day of the year the whole twelve
months would be unlucky. 1t was sup
posed to be unlucky to meet lame or
blind man, monkey, q weasel or a
cat.
Odd Christening Custom.
In the north of England, if child
was christened on New Years day
little boy was engaged to meet the
baby as it was taken from it's home, so
as TO avoid the possibility of meeting
a woman first. The boy received a
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 in some church,
an easy chair by q 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 year
which is just born.
And back through the ages. through
a thousand generations men and wom-
en- have done the same and left some
trace Of themselves in some half-for-
gotten custom as you may do, quite
unconsciously, when 1920 makes its
bow to the world.

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

Y ENRY vi is probably the first
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, looklng-glass-
es, fans and curioSitieS from the new
" 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 1, which appears in
1.-The Banquet of Jests," printed in
pieces by a 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-
edly 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: II 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 fa-
theirs and mount mitre-shaped casques
of brown paper. Attached TO this is d
sheet of the same paper which, falling
down IN front, covers the whole face
except where holes are made TO let
through the point of the nose and af-
ford sight 10 the eyes and breath TO
the mouth. Each is, like a knight of
old. attended by sort of humble
squire, who assumes the habiliments OF

broom stick and is styled Bessie

opens all the doors at which he
pleases TO exert singing powers and
busies herself during the time of the
song with sweeping the floor with her
broomstick or In playing any other
antic that she thinks may amuse the
lndwellers. The common reward for
this entertainment is halfpenny, but
many churlish persons fall upon the
unfortunate guisers (masqueraders)
and beat them out of the house. Let
such persons, however, keep good
watch upon their cabbage gardens

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 he
was last, must be either very good or
very bad, indeed! And only to pro-
pose to be better is something; it
nothing else it is an acknowledgment
of our need to Be so, which is the flrst
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.
