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.

' 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.

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.
