There is an ancient kissing custom assoclated with a parish church in | Lancashire. The legend s that any- one who at the first stroke of mid- night kisses the keyhole of the church door. and then runs right round the| edifice tn time to kigs the keyhole be-i fore the last stroke of the hour, is cer-| tain of good luck during the whole of | the year. | It requires a certain amount of | nerve to enter this country churchyard at the dead of night, even for such al purpose. but rumor hath it that no new year is born without someone es- saying the race round the church. The ¥ aistance is such that it is impossible | for more than one person to. thus court ! a year's luck. | | .Churchyards have always been favo: | rite places for New Year oscplations. ! { In thei Wensleydale district, in days gone by, all and sundry could Kkiss | “without scandal” on New Year's eve| | in the porch of the church. | | It was largely availed of, too, for| it 1s on record that the accommoda- | tion fell lamentably short of the de- mand, and consequently there was| even more squeczing than kissing—if that were possible. A somewhat gruesome kind of 1 churchyard kissing used to' obtain| | among the Basques of the Pyrenees| | on New Year's eve. It was the custom for the maidens to. then repair to the/ | ehnw‘hynrd ‘and on their fingers wnnl kisses: tothe foqr quarters of the uni. verse. - A Kiss \ma supmsed to brush lhelr, lips on retizn, and.If it was warm it i inqicated’ that they would marry and be happy éver after. On the other hand, if the kiss was cold and of the earth earthy, the inference was that | single “biessedness” would be their lot. | The only means by which the omen | could be broken was by repairing to; the church and kissing the church bell, | a gravestone and piece of coffin {wood. - This remegy was very fre- quently resorted t nd so superstl- | tious were the Basque maidens that but for the consolation afforded some of them would have lost their reason: In these degenerate days the lot of the mayor of Durham is far happier cient times. If tradition can be relied on the chief magistrate was then un- der ap obligation to kiss the first cow, the first shcep and the first pig i orought ifto the first market of the ‘ew Year. {, ™hic went on until it occuired to a | resourceful occupant of the mayoral chair to interpret the custom as relat- ing to the first three market women, and henceforward they were the re- .cipients of the New Year kisses until the ancient custom vanished alto- gether. It s much to be feared that the .abuse of kissing customs has been | largely responsible for their falling ; into disuse, though some of them are i certainly more honored in the breach | ‘than-in the observance. | One such, which used to obtain in | .Oxfordshire, concerned the tenunts of .certain estates which they held on | icondition that on-New Year's morning | ithey publicly kissed the parish pump ‘or paid a drink fine to the assembled | populace. . | | As might be supposed, the tenants| | .almost invariably preferred to pay“the | | ‘fine, but it is on record that one mis- | ‘guided, close-fisted individual actually | kissed the pymp in ordcr to keep-the | fine fn his pocket. | The populnce were so disgusted -n his .meanness and infurfated at the | i loss of the liquor that they held him under the pump and pumped the wa- ter op him until he was almost washed awny. The exchange of drink for kisses, was, in the bad old days, a not infre- | | ‘quent New Year's day practice in pub- | | | tie houses, where it sometimes led to ! rows and riots among the frequenters. | At: one hostelry in the metropollb (Il was the custom for the landlord to | V hand out to every member of the op- | posite sex who called before the hour | | of noon on New Year's day a measure of ale in exchange for a kiss. What the landlofd’s better - halt | thought of this proceedln-— rc})ort say- | eth not. . Tl 'l At another London public house it H | ‘used to be permissiblc Yorjthe first cus- tomer on New Year's morning to kiss | the barfnaid by wheof, geging for his | liquor. But only the first was entitled to this privilege, and any subsequept caller who presumed to pay in this fashion had to forfeit half a crown to | the barmaid. One astute Hebe got her sweetheart to call first and mulcted several later callers of the customary half crown In the course of the morn- ing.
