Over England and Scotland, in
the villages of the plains and high-
| lands, ancient New Year supersti-
| tions still exist.
It is considered unlucky to wear
old clothes on the New Year; bad
luck falls on a house if anyone goes
out before someone has entered. If
the first comer—"first foot,” the
natives call it—be a man, good luck
will bless the house; if a woman or
a fair-haired man, the luck is evil.
So widespread is this belief that in
many villages the dark-haired men
of the community make it a regu
lar business to go from house to
house to “take the New Year in.”
In Herefordshire, at midnight, the
girls rush to the spring. The one
who gets the first drink, or the
“cream of the well,” is sure of a
handsome husband.
Unlucky, too, is the good woman
who gives away a light on New
Year's day. Where a brand goes
out, the evil fays come in. The
most tender-hearted woman will see
her neighbors shiver in a fireless
house rather than give away a light
on the New Years.

Bishop Hall's "Satires," pub-
lished in 1598, tell how every tenant
at the dawn of the New Year pre-
sented his lord with a fat capon;
and Ben Jonson, in his "Christmas
Masque” introduces among his cast
of characters "New Year's gift in
a blue coat, serving man like, with
an orange and a sprig of rosemary
on his head."
Oranges and nutmeg, gilded and
decorated apples, were frequent
gifts exchanged among the poorer
people. Ladies of fashion delighted
in pins, invented during the Six-
teenth century to take the place of
clumsy wooden skewers. Here we
have the origin of our own "pin
money"—a gift of money given in
place of pins.

SMART HOMEMAKEF.S, instead
of looking on holiday leftovers with
scorn, will welcome having them
because they save time in meal
preparation as
well as conserv
ing time in mar
keting.
Who doesn’t
welcome succu
lent slices of
ham, turkey or
roast beef when served with slices
of bread or rolls? They're the re
frigerator raiders’ delight!
Then, too, there are excellent
dishes which Mom can prepare
quickly from vegetables and roast.
Everything's cooked and needs just
a bit of ingenuity and heating to
make them ready for the table!
To make leftovers palatable, it’s
best to disguise them completely.
With the right recipes, it isn’t much
of a trick, and it’s fun, too, to test
your ingenuity.

FIRST AID to the
AILING HOUSE
Address
by Roger C. Whitman
QUESTION: 1 have taken all
the paint off a wicker set down to
its natural color. Now I would
like to know what I can put on it
to preserve it, as it is very dry.
Should I varnish it or leave it as
it is?
ANSWER: If you have used a
commercial paint remover to
clean off the old finish, you should
go over the surfaces with turpen
tine in order to take off every
trace of the remover; otherwise
your new finish will fail. If you
like the color, you can finish the
pieces with spar or quick-drying
varnish. This should protect the
furniture, especially if it is to be
exposed to sunlight. Otherwise you
can use clear lacquer, which would
give a lighter finish.

ANSWER: There are many good
cleaning preparations on general
sale which should serve your pur
pose. An alternative would be to
clean off the soiled wax with a
liquid wax that is meant just for
cleaning waxed surfaces. Still an
other method would be to go over
the woodwork with a cloth damp
ened with turpentine, then apply
a thin coat of paste wax, and when
dry polish thoroughly.
