HOW JAPAN GREETS NEW YEAR Curtom of Oriental Countries I» to Give Special Performances in the Play Houses. fTMIE Oriental methods of greeting the New Year differ greatly from ours. In Japan, as well an in other Oriental countries, special perform ances are given in the theaters. In the temples nnd shrines priests and attendants entertain the people with special dunces. The Knguru, or Sacred Dunce With Music, is the fa vorite, for while It is being given prayers are offered for the continued happiness of the nation during the coming year. This very old dance Is performed by young girls, while the priests are the musicians. AU are in appropriate costume. Another ceremonial, which has been handed down for centuries. Is the Shu- Sai, or Dance of the Ancestral Sanc tuary. This Is given within the palace by the imperial family on January 8, and it celebrates the founding of the Imperial house, centuries ago.
