Floating atop the Wassail bowl, apples stir memories of the “ apple- howling" when boys switched the trunks of fruit trees petitioning “ a good howling crop” : somehow, the “ lamb’s wool” (as the decoction of the Wassail bowl is often called) seems reminiscent of young folks rushing to the nearest spring at the stroke of 12 to drink the “ cream of the well” —the first one so doing, might expect good luck during the ensuing year. Handsel Monday—the Monday aft­ er New Year’s, is traditionally the “ big Day” for Scotch boys and girls: ■and, in addition to being the Scotch day of gift-giving, it is a day of feasting and ga iety.’ . ’ Small wonder, that families and friends gather on New Year’s eve to “ Drink a cup of kindness yet For Auld Lang Syne.’’ Tell Me an Indian New Years Story The ceremonial for the snow has passed, when enemies are forgiven and harsh words forgotten, as a new trail has been blazed for all through the New Year’s festivities. The story-telling, grandmother has taught the ancient chants and cus­ toms through the beads of the strings^of historic wampum^-but-now- she again has time to entertain the children. Gathered around her lodge-fire, they plead for another story with their bright eyes and shrill voices. To satisfy them, sh'e tells an ancient legend about the clouds. “ Long moons ago when the world was first made, the sky at win­ tertime was cloudless much as it is on clear midsummer days. The ground was covered with white snow and the ti’ees, except the pines, stood bare. The cold wind whistled around the Jaark cabins; and with a cloud: less sky, everything above and be­ low looked dreary, j “ The children, ’ too, missed the green leaves and changing colors over the landscape, and they gave a wish that the sky might have clouds now and then. It is true, dark-gray, fierce-looking clouds came in great masses and covered all the sky and let down snowflakes to amuse the children. But the children also wished for. bright clouds and the old bear in the sky heard their wishes. • “ So the old bear blew his moist breath into the heavy clouds and broke them up; he even made humps in some of them, and held on to the corners of others, until when they passed over the village, each cloUd had a different shape, some like bears, some like wild cats, some like hills and even some like funny people. Ever afterward, the clouds took these strange shapes to bring smiles and imagination to all children in ‘ midwinter.” —Dr, E, A, Bates, Cornell,. Wanted to Buy—Raw furs and beef hides.

Marcellus Townsley ‘Open House’ on New Year’s Day It was customary for the Dutch settlers of New York to hold “ open house” on New' Year’s day and to provide light refreshments, usually centering around a large bowl of punch, for friends calling to pay the compliments of the season. During .the latter part of the 19th century the custom of making short calls on New Year’s day was in full swing throughout America. Metro­ politan newspapers carried columns of “ at home” notices which, includ­ ing names of social prominence and those making no such pretense, an­ nounced hours during which visi­ tors would be received: having duly received, hosts and hostesses closed their receptions to join the proces­ sion of callers- at other “ open houses.” A succession bf “ open houses”- and punch bowls minimized the courtesy accorded hostesses—in many cases —and even resulted in- receptions being “ crashed” by bibulous young men; these abuses led to the aban­ donment of the “ open house” cus­ tom-, New Year's calls now being exchanged only by intimates and without any public announcement of intention to receive. ■ HAUCK BROS.
