Scotland

Young Scotchmen used to wait
eagerly for the first stroke of twelve
marking the coming of the New
Year. AS the bell in the church
steeple began to toll, each would
rush to the door of his beloved's
home, to be the first to cross her
threshold. The girl would listen for
tThe first foot's entering step.
That sudden on the floor is welcome
heard,
Ere blushing maids have braided
up their hair;
The laugh, the hearty kiss, the good
New Year,
Pronounced with honest warmth" "
In Scotland, as in most northern
European countries, it is an old be-
lief that spirits, both good and evil,
are peculiarly active on New Years
Eve. On the stroke of midnight, ac-
cording to the ancient superstition,
all genii were in motion and could
be exercised by appropriate words.
Good genii we're called hillmen or
''hoghmen" in the dialect of Scot
land, and evil spirits called trolls.
Mummers used to wander about the
