earlv heathen ages The French ce
rive their term for New Year pres
nt frnm the Latin word Strenia
the Romans
whom
the name of a goddess
mans venerated as the patroness of
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
New Years day During the sway of
tho omtierors Roman subjects made
New Years gifts to their sovereign
Augustus received such quantities or
these that he had gold and silver
statues made of them Tiberius did
away with the usage because he con
ciiormi it tnn troublesome to express
thanks for the gifts Caligula on the
contrary reintroduced the custom and
even made up for his predecessors re
ficni tn receive nresents by requir
ing those that had been offered to him
to bo given to himself as arrearagas
The custom of making New Years
gifts notwithstanding attempts to sup
press it was continued after Europe
had become Christian For a time pres
ent making was transferred to easier
but later it was again associated with
the first day of January
The passing of years is like the
coming of dawn slow silent inevit
able The most eager cannot hasten
the quiet irresistible movement ana
the most reluctant cannot forbid Some
gifts the years bring which we would
fain decline age sorrow disappoint
ment Some treasures they take which
we would keep forever youth beauty
innocence But there are more prec
ious treasures which time cannot
supply and the years cannot remove
friendship patience faith and love
