'So We Start Off th' New Year With Lofty Resolutions. We'll Quit Drink-
in', or Chewin' or Smokln' or Swearin'. Maybe Our New Resolutions Ml
Include All of 'Em."
No sooner is th' spirit o' Christ-
mas givin' exhausted till we're seized
with th' spirit o' retrenchin' an',
after a season o' spendin', with th'
New Year jest around th' corner we
unconsciously fall int' a retrospec-
tive mood an' take a personal invoice
an' solemnly resolve t' make a better
ehowin' both morally an' financially
at th' close o' th' comin' year. So
we start off th' New Year with lofty
resolutions. We'll quit drinkin' or
chewin' or smokin' or swearin'.
Maybe our new resolution '11 include
all of 'em.
But we never seem t' think o' th'
many other things we might elimi-
nate from our program fer th' com-
in' year that would not only better
our chances in th' hereafter but
which would make th' path o' life
iar pleasanter fer those who by force
o' circumstances are compelled t' tol-
erate us.
So let those o' us who are perfect,
aside from smokin', drinkin', chew-
in' an' swearin', dig around a little
an' see if we can't find a few things
besides th' ole moss covered habits
aforementioned that we could cut
out with profit t' ourselves an' those
we mingle with.
Next t' thinkin' only o' ourselves
th' worst habit is tryin' t' save
ever'thing we make. I don't know
which feller a community has th'
least regard fer—th' one who licks
up ever' penny he gits his hands on,
or th' feller who holds on t' ever*
cent that comes his way, but I have
my suspicions.
Livin' beyond th' outskirts o' our
incomes is another habit that is
worse than either smokin' or swear-
in' an' a habit that is doin' much t'
create a widespread distrust in so-
ciety. Bobbin' Peter th' grocer, t'
pay Paul, th' auto dealer, kin have
but one result.
We never hear o' our women folk
makin' any New Year's resolutions.
Ther's many things they might re-
solve t' do besides cuttin' out eggs.
PRETTY NEW YEAR'S POSIES
Ther resolutions might have a
blightin' effect on clubs an' billiard
rooms an' other refuges fer th' hen-
pecked an' homeless, but they would
help t' revive that feelin' o' love an'
respect fer women that seems t' be
goin' out o' style these days.
Good resolutions accompanied by
a great flare o' trumpets last about
as long as an ice cream cone in a
Turkish bath. Th' feller who boasts
that he's goin't' quit 6mokin' never
throws his pipe very fer, an' th' fel-
ler who proclaims from a store box
that he'b thro' with th' demon rum
is about as reliable as th' statesman
who says he's thro' with th' Repub-
lican party.
Let's do somethin' original this
year an' gather up a whole lot o'
nasty little characteristics an' try t'
do away with 'em fer good. We've
all got 'em. If you can't find 'em
ask somebuddy who knows you f
point 'em out. They're there.
Ther's lots o' folks who don't
chew or smoke or swear er drink who
carry a full line o' mean traits.

When We Review the Year.
Why Is It that our forward look Into
the new year Is always happy and
hopeful, while our backward look over
the year that Is closing, Is likely to be
serious If not sad? Is It because reali-
zation Is never equal to anticipation,
or because we have fallen so far short
of our flrst-of-January resolutions!
Terhaps If we entered on the new
year with a little more grave earnest-
ness mingled with our Joy, we might
have more satisfaction In reviewing
the year as It closes.

A New Year's Prayer.
Another year has gone to join
The rest In shadowland;
Its hopes, its fears, Its thoughts, lu
deeds,
I>lke finished structures stand,
Silent and faint In distance dim,
Lowly, or mean, or grand.
And we live on and toll again.
We build for good or 111,
We hope, we strike, perchance we fall;
In faith we struggle still.
Oh, help us, Lord, each day to build
According to thy wUl!
Orchids, Llllta of the Valley, Roses of
Various Colors, Add In "Doll-
•no" Up Table.
Orchids and lilies of the valley are
the chok-ost of nature's productions,
and where expense Is no object there
is nothing that can surpass them, es-
pecially for New Year's table decora-
itlon. Then comes the aristocratic
American beauties and the others of
that class, the Russells, the Hadleys,
the Iloosier beautleB and all of the
superb achievements of the experts In
flower growing.
Then there Is the mass of the roses.
These are the flowers that come with-
in the pocketbook oi the average
home. There are roses of all colors,
pink, yellow, red and white. And the
carnations—they seem to have an add-
ed charm at this time of the year.
A simple but beautiful table can be
arranged by purchasing two pots of
the Glory of Cincinnati begonia and
using the best plant as the center-
piece and the other as cut flowers to
finish It with. It Is best not to cut

One good New Year's resolution ll
to complain less and work more.
the flowers until you are ready to
use them, for they do not last well in
water, but they make a most dainty
arrangement. A few can be laid on
the table.
These, with a few maidenhair ferns,
make a very satisfactory table for
New Year's. The favors shown In th«
various stores are certainly bewitch-
ing enough to turn the head of any
Intended hostess. White narcissus is
plentiful and Inexpensive, as are the
Roman hyacinths, and they each make
suitable arrangements for the table.-*

Need a Sanity Clause.
When the Christmas bills float In
New Year's people will begin to compre-
hend that there can be no such thing
as a sane Christinas without a Sanity
Clause.
New York.—As the current of clothes
goes rushing by, one has a strong
temptation to reach out and grasp at
the straws that are swirling along on
the top eddies.
Standing on the bank and watching
the brilliant things borne down the
stream, one Is strongly reminded of an
alluring article by Mr. Beebe, the ex-
plorer, who has brought back so much
that was worth while to the zoological
knowledge In America.
Mr. Beebe rests quietly on a bank,
as he tells It, by which passes a great,
swiftly flowing stream which comes
from the heart of the Jungle and
which Is full of mystery and color and
splendid exotic life. The stream has
caught on Its top current parts of this
life, and as he studies It, keenly and
with knowledge, as It swiftly goes by
him, he is able to form In his mind
Just what the life of that special
Jungle Is. Fauna and flora go by, an
opossum with Its young, a peculiar
kind of snake on a log, bits of wood
that explain the tree growth, birds
that have been caught In branches and
cannot extricate themselves. On, on
goes the colorful stream, rushing past
the flat mud bank and explaining to
the zoologist and ornithologist the en-
tire life and personality of the source
from which all these things come.
It is thus In fashions. All the tu-
mult, the revolt, the color, the per-
conallty and the life of a country flow
by In this semi-annual stream of
clothes that are symbols of their
sources. And the one who stands on
the ?>ank wants to reach out n hand
or turow out a grnppllng pole, as Mr.
Beebe did, and bring In for closer ob-
servation the peculiar and particular
things that can be developed Into a
whole chapter of Interest.
Sleeves From Every Epoch.
Sleeves, for instance. There Is a de-
tail that one wants to catch at with a
grappling pole, pull Into the bank and
study for a week. They are represent-
ative of the history of the world.
Each epoch seems to have offered n
peculiar phase of arm covering for the
designers to Incorporate into modern
costumes.
We have the medieval sleeve which
opens after it leaves the elbow and
drops In a point to the knee; we have
the Chinese sleeve which Is roomy
enough for all the Juggling we care
to do; there is the tight sleeve of the
Dlrectolre that fits Into an oversnug
armhole and stretches to the knuckles
of the hand; there Is the Italian
sleeve that begins In an armhole that
Is nearly at the elbow and widens
Itself out in order that It may drop in
cloaklike folds to the wrist, where It
Is caught Into a band of white velvet
or cloth.
There Is the sleeve that Is slashed
from armhole to wrist, as Marguerite
and Faust wore it, and there Is the
Oriental sleeve that Is formed from
the front edge of n cape and confined
to the arm with a bracelet of tulle or
Jewels.
Another sleeve is merely a brassard
and, of course, It Is on an evening
gown. There are sleeves taken from
the church, from comic opera, from
the Round Table, from Wagnerian leg-
ends, from the days of Dante and, one
might almost add, from the Sultan of
Sulu. There are sleeves that are noth-
ing but arm bands above and below
the elbow, to which are caught swing-
ing folds of colored tulle.
Possibly the one garment which the
sleeve-mad designers have left un-
touched In their wild orgy of design-
ing Is the street coat which Is part of
a conventional tailored suit. All sorts
of liberties are taken with sleeves in
top coats, because this garment has
reached so high on the ladder of fash-
ion that it gets a whack of originality
Always Look Neat
Reserve ten minutes a day to treat
the nails, 30 minutes for the bath, and
time for the "100 strokes" for the
hair and one will have gained the
first step toward acquiring a well-
groomed appearance, says a well-
known authority on beauty.
With this habit formed It naturally
results that the little attentions neces-
sary to the outing attire follow.
Neatness Is a thing that grows on
one. It becomes a hobby if due
thought is given to its development.
Onco formed it becomes a second na-
ture.
They Should Agree.
Among the good resolutions of the
year motorists and pedestrians ought
to make up their minds to a reciproc-
ity of good feeling and the right oi
way.
from every designer who wants to
piny with the garment In either a com-
mercial or artistic way.
The short street coat, however, re-
mains conventional. So little has been
done with this garment In the line
of originality that we begin to believe
that the French Influence dominates
even In this line of American costum-
ery. Paris, as you remember, Insisted
that she could do little with the coat
suit because her tailors were wielding
hand grenades Instead of scissors.
Variety in Armholes.
It is not possible to deal with
sleeves, In detail or In mass, without
tnklng the armhole Into serious con-
sideration. The tailors and 'ressmak-
ers talk In an Interesting manner
about this alleged minor part of tho
costume. It Is a pity, one might say
In passing, that there are any cutters
and fitters who treat It as a minor
consideration, for the average woman
knows that the skill or awkwardness
In cutting an armhole makes or mars
the fit of the frock and her Individual
comfort
There are few people who can re-
strain their tempers when the subject
of armholes Is mentioned, because the
extraordinary deficiency of talent in
this particular line of dressmaking
reaches out Into the dally lives of thou-
sands. Let us hope that the cutters
of this winter will have learned more
than they knew last winter, if they
are going to attempt a dozen Instead
of two varieties.
There Is the tight Dlrectolre arm-
hole that hugs the skin so that the
fronts of the coat or bodice must be
perfectly adjusted In order that they
will not rise In waves about the neck.
There Is the long, loose Chinese arm-
hole which demands a certain lack of
contour In the bodice or Jacket.
There Is the pear-shaped armhole
which extends to the waistline and
Into which an elbow-length or three-
quarter sleeve Is usually placed. And,
topping the list of comfortable arm-
holes, is the one that belongs to the
lining and not to the bodice.
New Type Saves Temper.
If you have had trouble with the
fit of your Jackets and blouses because
of ill-cut armholes, remember that
this last type saves temper and tears.
When the sleeve is put Into the arm-
hole of tho lining and the outer ma-
terial is allowed to drop over It, mov-
ing with security and freedom accord-
ing to the shifting of the shoulders,
then you get the best armhole that the
American tailors can achieve.
This Is the kind that Is now In high
fashion. It Is run well over the top
of the arm and up on the lining, in
order that there may be no revealing
of the Inside material when the outer
armhole swings to and fro. Some
dressmakers use a band of embroidery
or soutachlng or ornamented cloth of
some kind over the lining from the
edge of the armhole half way to the
front, In order that the effect Is good
when the outer armhole shifts.
The recognition given by the de-
signers to this armhole In the lining
has been the reason for an Influx of
sleeves made of different material
from the gown fabric and also In a
different color.
Street frocks of heavy cloth will
have long, tight sleeves of braided
satin running from shoulder to wrist
They do not make a shocking contrast
In color, but depart from the tone of
the gown sufficiently to give an artis-
tic touch.

Too Old to Learn.
"Why don't you try to manage that
horse without profanity?" asked an
officer of a cavalryman.
"It wouldn't do any good," said the
cavalryman. "It ain't fair to this
horse to ask It to start at Its time of
life to learn a lot of polite words."--

ceedingly refined.
Three-Quarter Length 8leeves.
Three-quarter length sleeves and
elbow length gloves were a feature of
several smart afternoon dresses at a
recent wedding.
Bobbed Hair on Way.
It may be that the style of hair-
dressing adopted by the Bohemian ele-
ment of feminine art students will
spread throughout the realm of wom-
ankind. Word comes from Paris, and
It Is confirmed In America, that bob-
bed hair may shortly supplement the
masses of colls and waves that have
been in style for some time.
A more practical reason for the Im-
pending change Is advanced by reason
of the number of women who will adopt
a more or less masculine uniform gov-
ernment service work, either at home
or at the front It claimed that short
hair Is more convenient, more hygenlc
and more consistent with Buch uni-
forms.
Belted Dressss.
Belted fashions are everywhere ap-
parent where garments are shown
for young women. The belt appears
on the one-piece dress, tho separate
coat, the smock type of blouse and on
the Jacket of the suit. It has many va-
riations, nnd this perhaps 18 one rea-
son It has remained In style for «t
least four seasons.
