Pray, what is the sense of making new ones?” Well, forget last year’s good resolutions and forget the past year entirely Turn with hope and contidence to the great new year about to dawn, and—yes, make new geod resolutions, as many of them as your brain can conjure up. Per- haps you did fail to keep the good intentions that made you so happy a you thought them out, but remember you y human, Indeed, if we all were not so very human there would be absolutely no need of our ever making any kind of good resolutions Many of us will see the old y go with few regrets, It brought us, perhaps, an tra share of ss and disappointments, but are we not all the better and stronger for them, and will not the lessons they tanght us stand us in good stead during the coming days? Dear friend, let me as- sure you that the difficulties and discouragements you surmounted during this still present year will without question make you a better and braver woman Welcome the new year; and by all means make new good resolutions, Bvery one of us needs to make them, because as I have sald, we are all man or womrn. In the hearts of most of us is a wonder, a curi- eosity, as to what the coming year may bring to ua, whether good fortune or bad, sorrow or joy. How: many of us realize that the shaping of our fortunes during the year to come ts in our hands? We do not need to depend on some imaginary fate to deai us out good luck or bad, as she will, if we have the earnestness and the desire to suc- ceed. All Desire Happiness. But, after all, we want something more out of the year to come than just material success, wel- come though that may be. Success Is not always attended by happiness, and what we all desire in reality in 1917 is happiness, no matter what Its source. To be contented and happy, that Is the most we can wish for anyone, including ourselves. We can find true happiness by making and keep- ing the proper kind of New Year's resolutions, The annual period for taking stock of our mental, spiritual and material resources finds amost of us nbout where we were a year ago. We are livifg about the same. We are thinking about the same thoughts, We are animated by about the same expecta- tions. When we are depressed it is because of the same old fears, Some have learned something in the dying year. Some have not. Some hope to learn during the coming year, Most of us spend the main portions of our lives ' tm disappointment over the faflure of that which swe hoped might come to pass, balancing that with our washed-out pleasure that the worst of the things we feared did not happen. Some of us lack grip upon ourselves. * This annual stock-taking of our mentality ghould light the future of the coming year with the experience of the year just passed.

Year's eve is an ocension of big celebra- 1 over the ce try, every man and woman having a desire to speed the old year und wel come the new with some form of festivity. In the cities the hotels and restaurants make a big fenture of this holiday, and each and every one advertises a special supper, with dancing, et: This is all very well for those who do not have to count the pennies when seeking pleasures for entertainiuent on New Year's eve ames high Everyone wants to be amused, to greet the incom ing twelve months with follity and == song, and the ci quence ts that the restaurants de mand and get high prices for entertainment on that occasion There are no end of. enjoyable ways of enter- taining in one’s own home on New Year's eve, and the woman who wishes to give pleasure to the family and friends on this occasion can do sc at very little expense, All she dis is to ask a jolly crowd, to think out a clever scheme of table decoration, to arrange some forms of ainusement and all will be well. The woman who has fairly ge rooms in her house will do well to select dancing as the chief form of entertainment for the evening. Dancing haw lost none of its fascination for the majority of folks, and if it is made the big feature of the party it is safe to say that most of the guests will be well pleased. A small dance need not be an expensive affair. -If you have a phonograph all ts well; If not surely you have some friend from whom you can borrow an instrument for the evening. Dancing to a phonograph is just as good fun as dancing to an orchestra, provided one’s partner is skillful at treading the “light fantastic.” When giving a New Year's eve party where dancing is to be the chief attraction of the eve- ning it is a good iden to ask one’s guests to come io the affair masked, This will lend mystery and excitement to the party and there will be great fun when the guests unmask as the hour strikes twelve and the new year is ushered in to the tune of many happy voices wishing each other “Happy New Year.” After the usual felicitations are over, supper should be served. This may be simple or elab- orate, Just ag the hostess desires, As for table decorations, a pretty centerpiece is to have a star made from a brilliant red poin- settia. In the middle of the star place a tall candlestick with a long white candle for the new year, Each point of the star should be marked by a low candlestick holding a shorter white candle, At the left of each plate have a spray of poinsettia. A pretty way to serve ice cream on this occasion would be to have it molded tn the ferm of a candle and candlestick, the candle to be the vanilla cream and the candlestick to be of pistachio green. A tiny wax taper may be tn- serted at the top of each “candle” and lighted just as all ore brought tn. : A simple supper menu for New Year's eve might consist of hot bouillon (a thin soup) served it is easy to hand around, chicken DAILY THBUNE + = ll ——_-_—— = FX s= ~~ One of the “Picture” Variety Emi- , ar eT nently Suitable for a Young Girl— “Tailored” Type for Wear With the Street Suit. ‘The sketch Wustrates two modish hats of widely different types.
