But the fact dian't keep her from worryinf ovor the gttuaUon that was as evident as the nose \ an her face between Jim and Betty i upstairs. She’d slept very little the night before from thinking about them. And now she sat in Pa’s old ! rocker by the heater tn 4 «the front j room, listening to Mike's litQe feet patter acroas the floor above her. j She wondered what an ok! widow i could do to tighten things between two that she’d come to love as her own children For three days Mollie hadn’t beard Jim step his foot on the stairs, which substantiated the news she'd beard that morning from Tillie i Smith across the street Jim was j staying in a room downto^^—? Everything had been alright at .Christmas, apparently. Jim had I shouldered a cedar tree up the stain that'd been almost too big to fit through the door, and he’d said to ■ Mollie, grinning his infectious grin through the cedar breaches. "Mike v1 Par three days MeUte ha<B*t I leard Jim step Ms fee* — the stairs. * says Santa Claus won’t come srtth-: out a cedar tree all decorated with tinsel and lights.” They’d — tike tree and dee* | orated it and invited her up to look at it and eat fluffy popcorn that Betty* d popped tn an old Iron skillet on the stove. Betty’s step sounded oo the stairs, and a moment she and Mike I I came into the room. ‘Tm going downtown to buy a few groceries ; Mrs. Elma,** «he said. “Would it I be too much trouble to keep Mike while Tm gone*” Mike ran into Mollie’ j arms. anAy Mo&te amilsd up at Betty. “Of 7 course not. dear. Mike and I will play train—and ball . ’* sAe got out the little train she kept tor Mike when he came to visit het. After a while an odd. happy glow ' cams into Mollie's dim blue eyes. | and she asked Mike, “would you like to go over to aw Aunt Tillie. dear?“ I Mike eras all eagerness, because “Aunt” Tillie gave him little bags of eandy. •'Lo’a go—la’s go!” He Jumped up and down with excitement They'd hardly reached Tillie Smith’s little bouse across the street when Mollie asked Tillie. "Would you keep Mika a little while. Tillie* I I have something I must take care of at the house. I'll not be gone long." "Why, yes. Mollie. I’U take Care! of Mike. We’ll get along One." she said • • • Mollie sat in Pa’s old rockar by the heater and a strange little prayer slipped from her lips. “Dear God. forgive me. but it can’t be a ato’’’ Shesbecame silent and fastened a frightened took upon Betty who had returned from town with her arms loaded with groceries. "He’s gone . .. Betty, he’s GONE! No . .. . it wasn’t Jim who took him." She managed the falsehood, but somehow she wasn’t feeling bad inside for doing it, Mollie hardly knew what happened after she’d spoken the U«: only that Betty bad dropped her groceries in the middle of th4?floor and had, dashed to the telephone to call Jim. T&« after Jim was there, holding Betty in his arms and trying to stop bCr tears, and the whole neighborhood was roused with the news that someone had taken little Mike. Tillie Smith and Mike walked in the back door. "Weß—" Tttlie said ta surprise at the neighborhood gathering. "What's this? A New Year’s party? Mollie. I though; you intended to come back for Mike.” \ Betty and Jim were holding Mike between them and laughing now. I Presently their eyes slipped to Mol-1 de sitting quietly in the old rocker, and Betty said, so that only Jim | could hear. “Bless bar heart. Jim! > Bless her beert!” Gregorian Calendar Was Slow In Adoption? Great Britain and ber colonies adopted the Gregorian calendar in ITS 2; the Julian calendar having become 11 days alow by that time, parliament ordered that the day following September S, 11SX would be j September 14. and that the legal year should begin on January 1. The Gregorian calendar is. ta es- 1 feet, a revision edition of the old Roman calendar. The ancient Roman year began with tbe month of March and ended with December, the 10th month. Continental Europe had universally adopted the Gregorian calendar by 1700 but Great Britain, frowning upon anything originating ta Rome as Popish, continued the use <rf the old calendar*-with its legal year be* ginning on March S-untH the con* fusion arising from using e differ* • ent calendar than the one used by continental Europe prompted tbe ■doption of the Gregorian calendar 1 m HSL

SYRACUSE-WAWASK JOURNAL

New Year’s Eve Is ‘Watch Night’ In addition to secular celebra ttons, many religious denomination! hold special services on New Year*! Eve from 9 or 10 until 12 midnight The Methodist Episcopal churek was the earliest to adopt this custom and they are called “watchnight services.” In 1947, St George’s Methodist church in Philadelphia held its 178tk watch night service. The churck was founded in 1799 and in 1771 held what has been called the first Protestant church services is America. Many other churches an holding such watch night service! I today. Mammera* persist —falda alaag I a Bsa mßa atratah at Bread street each Janary L Mummers’ Parade Each New Year The Mummers* parade on New 1 ! Year’s Eve is to Philadelphia what | the Mardi Gras is to New Orleans. The earliest settlers in the vicin- : ity of present-day Philadelphia were - English and Swedes. The English cherished the traditional Mummer : J play "St. George and the Dragon." j I while the Swedes were fond of mas-1 querading informally on New Year's I Eve. The two customs had merged i long before the Revolution and ft i was customary—even among the Quakers—to extend hospitality to the masqueraders or give them a dole for refreshments. After the, Revolution. George : Washington replaced St. George as the central figure of the festivities . which continued along the path of spontaneity until 1888 when the pa- ' rade was sponsored by the Silver Crown New Year’s association. The municipal administration officially recognized the parade in 1901, and representative citizenry began turning out to watch and partici- ’ pate in the festivities. i Public Reception At White House It has been the custom from the ; beginning of the Republic for th* : President of the United States to welcome the New Year by bolding a reception open to the general public. ' On the first New Year’s Day after his inauguration. President Washington opened his home to receive the people. Throughout the seven years which Washington lived to Philadelphia, then the capital of the nation, he continued this custom. New Year Kisses Began In Scotland The custom of interchanging purely platonic New Year kisses started in Scotland. In the memoirs of Lord Langdale by Sir T. D. Hardy, it is recounted how just at 12 o’clock, wherever you may happen to be, you proceed to kiss the nearest girl byway of a New Year greeting. In Scotland, no work was done on New Year's as lata as 1904. No porters or crabs were at the Waverly station in Edinburgh, and a visiting noble lord had to wend his -way to his,hotel in a milk cart. _ January Named For Ancient God The name January is derived from the two-faced god. Janus. He was originally the god of light and day. However, he gradually became the god of the beginning of things 3 The beginning of the year was sacred to Janus and a festival in his honor called Angonia eras celebrated. At the beginning of any importers or cabs were at the Waver* vice was sought Janus was worshiped as tbe guardian of trade and shipping and he was the inventor of agriculture. Nev Year's Started 50 Centuries Afo New Year's has been observed as a holiday, either civil or religious, for the last 5.000 years. Nearly everywhere and at all periods it has been a day of rejoicing and of gift giving; and history tells us that in Babylon, 3.000 years before the Christian era. the day was sacred to Marduk, the solar god, of whom it was believed that all other gods were but various manifestations. The Babylonian New Year was called Zagmuk. and like that of the Egyptians, Phoenicians and Persians, ushered in the autumnal equinox—September 21. The nearest modern counterpart to this is the Abyssinian New Year which falls on September 10. The discrepancy is probably due to the changing fashions in the calenders from Julian to Gregorian. Had it not been for this, the Abyssinian New Year would not coincide with that of those other nations now mere names with big ruins to attest their one-time power
