She was dressed like a bare-back rider in the circus, short tulle skirts and tights. They nearly mobbed her with joy." She yawned. "Well, I'm off to bed." He roused himself. "A happy New-year, my dear." "Thanks," she said, and wandered out, her absurd feathered tail trailing behind her. He lay back and closed his eyes.
They are preserved in the archives, among sundry old parchment deeds, in Dutch and English, bearing the seals of the early governors of the province. In this house, the primitive Dutch holidays of Paas and Pinxter are faithfully kept up; and New-Year celebrated with cookies and cherry-bounce; nor is the festival of the blessed St.
A loud, cheerful voice shouted: "Hamlyn, you are welcome to Baroona!" and close to me I saw the Major, carrying his son and heir in his arms, advancing to meet me from the house-door. "You are welcome to Baroona!" echoed the boy; "and a merry Christmas and a happy New-year to you!"
She was absurdly quiet and virtuous all the next day, gathered out her stockings and mended them; began a personal expenditure account for the New-year, heading it carefully with "darning silk, 50 cents"; wrote a long letter to Chris, and listened for the telephone. If only he would call her, so she could explain. Still, what could she explain? She had done it.

A happy new-year to you, and all the friends of freedom. My time and labors, while abroad were divided between England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.

Good or bad, as it may have been, we feel at home with it, and we are fain to keep the old almanac a little longer on the wall. But the last leaves are falling, the days are shortening.
'No, ma'am, said the elder lad; 'but my mamma is from the Highlands, and we are from the Highlands, and we are going back to spend the New-year at home. 'And where is your home?
