IdoIotrous Rites Caused
Ancient NeWYeur Ban

Although it is not generally re-
called, Christians at one time were
prohibited from participating in the
social customs prevailing at the
season OF the New Year.
The reason for this was that while
the Christian emperors kept up the
custom Of observing the New Year.
the people continued so many idola-
trous rites that the church applied
ban upon participation in the
rites.
Finally, after December Is had
been fixed as the date OF Christ's
nativity, the church made January
a religious festival. This has been
observed in the Roman church
since 487 and in the Anglican church
since 1549.

The Scots have always made
big fuss over New Years, and no
wonder. The wassail bowl goes
round at New Years time, filled
with savory liquid and nostalgia
memories.
Traditionally, the wassail bowl
itself should be an ornament OF
graceful design; its contents should
be warm and spiey-with sWeetened
wine, ale, sugar, and nutmeg.
Custom dictates that at the stroke
OF u on New Years Eve, the head
of the household should sip the mix
ture and then pass it among those
present. A favorite custom Of the
Scots has been to pile into wagons
or sleighs carrying kettles full Of
the wassail, cheese and buns. The
party stops at various houses in
the community and the refresh
ments go round at each stop with
out paying much attention to the
approaching dawn.
open House. on New Years
Day was quite the vogue in the
United States around the turn Of
the 2Oth century. Newspapers car
ried columns of at home notices
announcing the hours during which
visitors would be received. And
having duly received, hosts and
hostesses closed their receptions
and joined the procession of callers
at other open houses.
Human nature being what II Is,
receptions were often crashed by
strangers prompted by the access
sibility of free punch, and success
sion of several open houses some
times resulted in the most welcome
guests arriving in excessively
boisterous or mellow moods and
contributed to the abandonment Of
the publicly announced 'ope n

Modern MARRIAGE
By Dr.. Paul Popenoe

"A wolf is neither funny nor
fattering. There aren't as many
of them as some people think.
Any girl can keep the situation
under control if she wants to-"
Good nights that linger are
merely looking for trouble"
Questions and Answers.
@. Why is the number of aged
persons increasing so rapidly in
our mental hospitals?
A. Partly because we don't pro-
vide any other place for them;
largely because we don't find con-
structive and useful work for them
to do.
@. Is it true that in some states
a woman can be arrested and
convicted for talking too much?
A. In some states the old COM
mon law of Great Britain is sup
posed to be still in effect: this
made the common scold" sub
ject to law. In American colonial
days, you remember, such an Of
fender used to be ducked, or put
in the stocks, as a warning.

If you want information on
dating, ask a high school girl. She
knows. If she doesn't know, she's S
at least willing to learn.
The American Institute of Fam
fly Relations put group OF them
on one of its recent radio pro-
grams. Here are some of the
answers to our questions:
"At IA or IS a girl ought to
be going in groups, attending
home parties, church social af-
fairs, and school dances"
After a girl has gone with the
gang for a year or two, she gets
to know .the boys and can go
with the ones she likes"
IF she's old enough to go on
dates, she's old enough to take
her parents into her confidence. "
There's difference between
going steady and getting serious.
Sometimes your parents don't
understand that there is a diff
ference. But you do"
Lots Of girls go steady because
it's easier. But they miss a lot
of good times that way, too"
You can let boy know that
you like him, without being FAM
iliar." &
