'vjtOrigin of New Year Gifts T <1.? ?V.? > - umo cue vutimiia ui \jiiriRi mii3, which, in their origin, are a curious mixture of poetry and sgrubolism and of superstition, those that belong to the observance of New Year's day are also relics of ideas that date from varly heathen agos. The French de Ave their term for New Year pres. ents from tho Latin word, Strenia, the name of a goddess whom the Romans venerated as the patroness 01 gifts. There was a grove in Rome dedicated to this goddess, where it was customary to get fresh twigs, to give as presents to friends and relatives on ' y New Year's day." During the sway of the emperors, Roman subjects made New Year's gifts to their sovereign. Augustus received such quantities ol these that he had gold and silver statues made of them. Tiberius did -i away with the usage, because he considered it too troublesome to express thanks for the gifts. Caligula, on th< contrary, reintroduced the custom, anc even made up for his predec .-.sor's re fusal to receive presents by requlr ing those that had been offered to hire to be given to himself as arrearages The custom of making New Year'1 . gifts, notwithstanding attempts to sup * press It, was continued after Europi had become Christian. Fcnr a time ores ent making was transferred to Easter but later it was again associated witk the first dtpr of January. {Best Gift of *Cime The passing of years is like th? coming of dawn?slow, silent, inevit able.

But there are more prec lou8 treasures which time cannot supply and the years cannot removefriendship, patience, faith and love.? Herbert L.
