{WANUARY 1 was not always. New
Year’s Day, and even now in
Greece and Russia, ft' does not
arrive ha til twelve'days after the new
year has started’! f
It took longer to, agree upon a. com¬
mon day to celebrate New Year’s than
It did to select a common Christmas.
It was late in the Sixteenth century
Before iwu^iai-y L was Accepted, uni¬
versally. The more ancient nations
fjad always had a. preference for this
date, and Egypt, China and Rome cele¬
brated the day with, public rejoicing.
In Russia the day was made sacred
to Janus and was a time of special
sacrifice and prayer at ids shrine. He
J pictured, asjj a god with two faces,
one looking backward and one forward
°ne youthful and one very old—the
Old arid' the New Year.” In Derby¬
shire an old custom still prevails. At
just twelve o’clock the doors are flung
"'hie open and the New Year is ush-
ired in with shouts of welcome.
There are places in England, also,
where the Old Year is. still swept
out, according to an old custom. Men
und boys with blackened faces and
dressed to look like chimney sweeps, r
£<> through the streets with brooms,
Sweeping. ' f:
*• - '■*
i he practice of burning the Old
Year out with huge bonfires still pre¬
vails in some places, while in many
districts it is rung out by muffled
yells, and just, at midnight the bells
are unmuffled and the New Year is
'■ung in with joyous peals.
Hut in no other country is the cele¬
bration of New Year’s; made so Impor-
omt a festival v as in, Japan. The
G reets and by Ways of Tokyo, as well
us other cities, look like a vast piay-
ground. At a certain time'in the day
tt,e em Peror receives the princes and
the Princesses of the blood. At an-
-'.her hour all royalty and cabinet
hieinbers and their wives. The scene
marked with great ceremony.
; >ut all over the city the young peo-
! “ are having quite as good a time as
•o\alty; a festival of pleasure" is be-
mg held. Sometimes the faces are
•miudged with paint or ink—scarlet
repe. whir* silk and' brilliant gold,
!,!t di rough all tlie streets. Very lit-
m religious ceremony is observed
oew Year s day, but upou the third
January the day is given over to
worship in the palace, and upon the

TRENTON, Ga., JANUARY 1, 1925
((£>, 11124, Western Newspaper Vuiuu.)
Lawyer always came down
back, stairs the same way.
New Year’s morning was no ex¬
ception. There was a rush, a clatter
and a general tumbling noise—and
Ban emerged; into the kitchen.
His mother was just putting the
ias£ things on the tgble for breakfast.
“Happy New Year, mother!” called
Ben, disappearing into the dining
foom,
His mother, strange to say, did not
reply.
Polly Sawyer, tho youngest of the
family, and Harry were standing
arpund, the dining room gaffing for
breakfast to lie served.
“Mother’s' sort of queer this morn¬
ing,” whispered Polly to Ben. “She
looks just the same, but there’s a kind
ox difference about her. She hasn’t
said ‘Happy Now Year’ to one of us.”
Ben frowned and looked at liis
boots. “Oh, well, I guess she’s a little
tired, after the party, last night
Shouldn’t blame her.”
Bon really began to feel- uncomfort¬
able and he attempted a timid ques¬
tion,
“Mother, don’t you feel well this
morning?” lm asked.
Mrs. Sawyer looked up, surprised.
“Why, yes. Ben.
What made you
ask?”
“You seem so—
so sort of, well”
—he floundered—
“sort of quiet.”
“Quiet?” asked
Mrs. Sawyer.
Harry and Pol¬
ly looked a t each
other uneasily.
What was the
matter with break¬
fast, anyhow?
“Yes,” said Ben,
“and you haven’t
wished one of us
a Happy New
Year.”
“D ear, m e,
smiled M \s. Sawyer, “Ijn. sorry. I for¬
got ail about it. Well, I'll do it now.
Happy New Year, Ben and Harry and
Polly!”
But tills was not at all what they
wanted. She did not say it that way
when she meant it. She shouted it up
the stairs the first thing in the morn¬
ing, to get' ahead of everybody else.
The children felt strange and out
of time. Mother was always so jolly.
It took all the fun out of things to
have her this way.
“We had a fine party last night,
didn’t we?” asked Polly. “Every one
said they never had a better time.”
Ben looked hard at his mother. He
was the oldest and, though careless and
j noisy, loved her very much. “It was
; because mother worked so hard to give
! It to us,” he smiled. “Those little
cakes were just the ticket, and the ice
cream—oh, boy !”
The other children nodded. “Sure
thing,” mumbled Harry, looking as
solemn a3 an qwL
Mrs. Sawyer glanced from one to
another. “Children,” she said, “I’ve
got something to say to you New
Year’s morning. I third! this is tin
best time, for it is the very beginning
of the New Year.”
“Yes, mother,” they all agreed.
“It is the custom to say that wi
make new reso¬
lutions, hut I
wish we could
make new faces.
“New faces!”
exclaimed the
children together.
“Yes—just that.
But new’ faces are
not made from
the outside; the
molding has to
come from with¬
in. Face 3 are
made by thoughts,
and thoughts are
our only tools. I
worked for two
days to make it
a happy one for
you a_pd your
friends, i grew very tired, but 1 did
n< t mind flint, if it gave you pleasure.
Ydu say you had good time, lntt this
morning is the first I have heard about
It,”
“Ob, mother!” they wailed, con¬
science-stricken.
“You take too much for granted,
children. And if you don’t begin tc
think a little about other people und
v,hat they are doing and feeling, you
will grow up having very disagreeable
faces. I want you all to try to have
‘new faces’ this, year.' Make .vqUr eyes
see nice things about others: make
your mouths say kind words when¬
you can. Next New Year's morn¬
ing I’d like to shout a ‘Happy New
Year,’ and mean it. I want to see
happy faces not because you Rave a
good time, hut because you have
helped to ‘shine up’ the world for
others.”
“Yes, mother,” replied all the chil¬
dren, and then they got up with one
accord and ran around the table and
idsned her.
