A A commitee of prominent New Yorkers, headed by Jacob Riis, believe that tin horns, ticklers and rowdy disorder must give Pf to music, singing, and seemly gayety as a greeting to the New ear. “New York’s manner of welcoming the New Year,” says Mr.) Riis, “has come to be a kind of ‘rough housing’ that found ite expres- sion last year in the slogan heard in the streets: ‘To hell with the old year, hooray for the new!’ We believe that our people are tired of this and will be glad to join in a better and saner way more worthy Can You Beat It? 3 FORTHE ELEVATOR OYS, OF THE BUILOING \ IN WHICH You * Ne WoRK nite” Ooprrig, 1018, ty ‘The Prose Publishing Oo.

We object here to its being understood that what goes om in the Great White Way is typical of New York. We shall try to drown out all rowdyism and other objectionable displays by the volume of the music we ehall have on hand. There will be bands in several of the squares, such as City Hall Park and othore, as well as large choruses.” A few years ago New York might have wagged its head over such © proposal and declared that the crowd liked its own kind of noise and must have it. But now—how abont the safe and:sane Fourth of July? Every man and woman now living has seen with his or her own eyes, in this very city, a day of deafening noise, danger and crazy obstreperousness changed in a few years, as if by magic, into an occa- sion of impressive pegeant, music and harmless rejoicing. What is more, the people who were supposed to like only noise seem to take eagerly to the change. With the transformation of the Fourth in mind, he must be a stubborn man who asserts that we cannot do the eame for New Year's Eve. ‘ Every one who rend a year ago of the great Tetrazzini singing in a public equare on New Year’s Eve to the mobs of San Francisco must have been etrack with the stirring possibilities of this sort of celebration. The greatest singers of the past—famous violinists, teo—often had the eame happy inspiration. It brought them moro real love and fame than was ever harvested by the modern $2,000-a- night artist with his prees agent. We recommend it to our petted, pampered songbirds of to-day. Besides the bands in the equares, the committee plans to have Plenty of singing of good old songs, such as “The Battle Hymn of the Republic,” “John Brown” and “Auld Lang Syne.” A good ides and worth trying. We have yet to learn in this country the wonderful effect of open air music in big doses as a feature of city celebrations. Almost eny crowd responds to it. Many a time a burst of music has changed aimless holiday rowdyism into geyety and erthusiasm. Marching, bands and good singing best known ontlets for exuberance. By all means let us SING out the old SING fn the new. ; CEES TEENS | A VOW. the PITTSBurR re tttsnrty WHYNOT 2 For THE MEN NOISE In THE RADIATORS Mr. Jarr Prepares WHO PUT_THE(|GaRBAGe Papen "”APER BASKET, EMPTIERS Door KNOB, POLISHERS ALDERMEN Srna CAN You (BEAT ITI) | | eeeeeecoooossooss coeesooosossesest | to suide His FN the matrimonial market ‘most men appear to be looking for a tomar l who ia 97 per cent. style, 2 per cent. cook, and 1 per cent. brains, Nowadays a lover considers himself “impetuous” if he calle twio @ week, postcards once, and parts his hair a different way to please you, Platonic Friendship is a vcntimental mackintosh, thich covers a mult tude of flirtations. . — When a woman of fifty miarries, she usually has to decide whether ah | ote rather be a young man's bank account or an old man’s guardian.

So far the story is commonplace enough. But this poor moral wreck, without hope or will power, has a wife who married him some years ago just after securing hie release from jail. The vow she made then she repeated in court on ‘hearing his new eentence. It is a plain sort of vow, eimply pyt, but it means a lot: “As long as there is life im me I will etand by you and try to help you. I shall visit you, care for you, pray for you, work for you, no matter whether you are in prison or out. I know your weakness and forgive it, for I know you cannot help it.” : Queer world. The strong man who deserves love and devotion too often doesn’t get it, eupplies it all himself. To the weak man, hardly fit to live at all, is given the glory of a love worthy to be sung by the poets. The eame man we pity for a hopeless weakness wo must envy for a priceless blessing.
