 Although New Years day is men. tioned as an important festival by Tacitus in the First century. it is not referred to as a Christian feast day until well on in the Sixth cen. tury. It was then that the date of January was universally accepted, although even now in countries such as Russia and Greece, where the Gregorian rather than the Julian calendar is in use, the occasion is celebrated 12 days later than is GUS tomary with us.
 In imperial Rome the day was dedicated by Numa to the two-faced god Janus, in whose honor men were won't during this festival to forget old grudges and to whom they would offer sacrifices of cakes, wine and incense. And as a tribute to this two-faced god-this god who could look back at what had passed, and forward at what was to come Jclius Caesar named the month of January.
 In England it used to be the GUS tom to save part of the Yule log to light the New Years fire, in or der that some mysterious continuity reminiscent of the pagan vesfal fires, should remain unbroken.
 According to another old legend. the first pitcher-full of water drawn from a spring on New Years morn ing was supposed to possess re markable properties, and maidens used to sit up all night to obtain this "cream of the year."
 We still sit up to "see the New Year in."
 So, when the bells ring ou: at mid night and we rush into the street. shouting and slapping strangers on the back. and performing what we think to be very original antics, let US remember that people acted In precisely the same manner and did exactly the same "originar things at the festival of the Satnrnalia in pagan Rome more than 2.0O0 years ago.

 Reynold was just about to draw his face into frown when his mother looked at him 90 strangely that 1t made him think of his reso- lution.
