And the second quotation above
neatly supplements the first by say

All Of which suggests most forcibly
that time has destroyed the old-fash-
Toned method of observing several OF
our American national holidays; that
the times have changed and We in
them.
Now, there's the Fourth of July. for
example. The old-fashioned Fourth
is so entirely gone that we don't quite
know what 20 do with the day. In the
old days We used 10 twist the Lion
tail when we didn't know what else
TO do, but since We fought side by side
with the British In the Great War,
that seems as out Of place as do fire
crackers and the casualty list of small
boys
And it's just about the same with
New Years Day. About all that's
left US is TO listen TO the whistles blow

enthusiastically. The custom of max

man; ii is likely that II originated
independently in almost every cline.
Old-time European chieftains used to
set New Years" apart as a day on
which they would condescend to re-
ceive substantial tributes from their
underlings. Queen Elizabeth re-

sovereign. 1t was on a New Years Day
that Sir Walter Raleigh gladdened the
queens heart with a memorable pair
of silk stockiugs-the first ever made
and worn in England.
In Holland the custom of making
New Years calls had been general
long before the settlement of New
Amsterdam, and the natives of the
Netherlands who came 20 live in the
New World brought the practice with
them. And. of course. they had
plenty TO eat and drink-for who ever

Up to the beginning Of the Nine
