About New Year s
In Many Lands
Good Lack Offered in Manj

r
New Year's Day affords everyom
the opportunity to bring himself gooc
luck throughout the year. At leasi
that Is supposed to be true according
to several old superstitions coo
t cernlng the beginning of a new year
. The "First Foot"?the first persor
to enter the house on New Year*i
morning ? plags i
i significant role in th?
/jl JH>jl family's future for
t tunes. He must be i
SM SNcrTr dark man to brlnf

\G also brings a gift and
VL_X "carries in" mon
BHaHi than he "take* out,"
then the house is as
sured peace and plenty for a whole
year. The most auspicious gifts ai
1 luck-bringers are a lump of coa
' and a red herring.
Unmarried persons are advised t<
r look out of the window on Nev
i" Year's morning. If
you see a man, it is I
, a sign that you will
be wed before the
year is out. Should
you see a horse, you
can have a wish, and ?
it will be realized | I
within the year. To ^ ' *
see a dog is lucky,
but a cat foretells worry.
A little care will make it possible
to bring oneself good luck for the
^ entire year. Weai

possible, on Nev

garment must be

first dress in the
morning. Receipt o

I ( carry luck. Wleh everyone yoi
I meet "A Happy New Year," but re
, member when the greeting is givei
to cross your fingers for luck. Be
sure to say "rabbits" as the firs
i word when you wake before anyone
has had a chance to speak to you.
^ Love's progress will be aided 01
New Year's Day if you are carefu
; to put on the left stocking before the
1 right. The potency of this charn
i is supposed to be increased if yen
do all things as far as possible left
handedly during the day.
To open a bank account on Nev
Year's Day was considered htckj
? in Old "England, the custom growinj
. probably from the belief of man:
centuries that whatever you do ct
} the first day of the year will be ai
indication of what win happen dm
tag the months that wfll follow.
In some parts of England and Scot
land it is supposed tp be unlucky t>
leave a house until soma outside:
