The Annual Greefin6.

"a Happy New Year to you!" This
is the greeting which will be heard
on every side as we cross the thres-
hold of the new year. 1t has become
a custom to repeat it. In many cases
it has little meaning, and is nothing
more than an empty compliment or an
idle wish. How much do you mean by
it? 1t is very easy to repeat the form
ula. 1t is very simple matter to buy
a New Years card and enclose it in
an envelope. But when you send this
greeting, or speak it, do you regard
it as a pledge or promise that you will
do nothing to make the recipient of
it unhappy, and that you will do all
in ycur power to relieve his anxieties
and br!ng gladness to his hearth

a Happy Metz Near.

A happy New Year!" How MANY
people realize the meaning of the
words as they go about with this
familiar greeting upon their lips? Il
wish you a happy New Year," Does
IL not seem that tsc wish carries a
blessing with it? And | believe it
does when spoken by friends whose
words are always true and sincere.
For the benefit of those thoughtless
ones who never read between the lines,
let us analyze this significant greeting.
In the first place we wish our friends
happiness, and the next question which
naturally suggests itself is, what con-
stitutes happiness? A little friend of
mine tells me that it is to eat all the
candy he wants and not to go to bed
until he wants to do so. Another
friend of more mature years says that
she would be perfectly happy if she
had all the money she wanted to spend
as she liked. Another desires fame,
another social position. And so we
might go on asking and finding out
that almost every one has different
definition for happiness.
Ii the young lad were allowed to
follow his own sweet will and surfeit
himself with sweets and late hours, |
think the result would be anything but
happy. AS for wealth, who can blame
anyone for wishing for all that one
cares to spend, and especially wom-
-. b To-
exception rather than the rule. 1t is
the spending of it which decides the
happiness or unhappiness of the
possessor. / do not believe that any
one was ever really happy who used
wealth merely to crafty selfish am
hitions.
Fame. too, is a good thing to pos
sess. but how many who have gained
this high pinnacle will tell you that
It brings happiness Social position is
also something after which there is
much striving. Yet when the coveted
place is reached it is so often found
to be barren. and happiness has no
resting place there. Social position
brings heavy responsibilities with it,
and social duties are hard and labori-
Gus without the happy results that
follow labor in more worthy causes.
1t seems, then, that there must be
some special way to happiness not
easily found. There is, but it is easy
enough to be seen by all who care
to follow its winding way. Wiser
heads than mine found out long ago
that only in trying to make others
happy is real happiness ever gained
for oneself.
So in wishing our friends a happy
New Year, we really obligate ourselves
to do all that we can to make the
The Yale expositor., 1900-12-28

wish como truey and for this reason
the words should never be spoken idly.
or used as a mere matter of form. On
the other hand, to be sincere In the
greeting and to do what the words i'm
ply, Is certain to bring happiness to
all.
And now, let us go on to the next
word in tho analysis, new"
Everybody likes new things, un-
less an exception may be made to
the so-called new woman" New
gowns, new bonnets, new personal be-
longings of all sorts appeal especially
to women. While CLOTHES do not make
the person." every one has learned
that appearance in this world goes
long way toward success. Under the
inspiration of knowing that one Is
well-dressed often one has done his
best and the key note of success has
been touched. It Is human nature
that womankind should love pretty
new dresses, new bonnets and dainty
surrounding, SO let no one accuse her
Of vanity for desiring them.
New ideas are sought after by the
philosopher; new conditions by the
scientist; new inventions by the in
ventor. Editors eagerly examine new
matter; and that which is truly origin
al or opens new field of thought is
never found unavailable" no matter
how poorly It may be written.
There is a constant hunt going on
for something new to further stimu-
late the energies, ambitions and de-
sires of the worlds people; and never
was this craving so apparent as now
when we are closing the nineteenth
century. Everyone seems to feel that
we are on the verge of new era
which in spite Of the inventions Of the
past Is to be the most wonder produc-
ing period in the worlds progress. II
signal us, as has been stated, who
knows but what some shrewd, enter
prising Yankee will put on his think
ing cap, build flying machine that
will overcome all atmospheric con-
ditions and go sailing over to the
planet one Of these coming days?
Perhaps the North Pole will be dis
covered in the same way, although
why so many people will risk life and
property to find spot that Is almost
certain to contain nothing that will
sustain life or hope, can only be laid
to their insatiate greed for something
new.
1t is to be hoped, however, that
while these greater things are going
on, some one may invent an automatic
servant that will get up in the morn
ing without being called, never let the
fires go out, wash our best china with
out breaking it, and. from the very
nature of the invention, cannot talk
back" when we happen to go into the
kitchen and scold a little-Househo!d

And poor Dick, asked him If there
was anything l could do for him; he
replied: Yes but just then the maid
came in with note for him, and he
said he must go at once-I think he
wished to be alone with his sorrow.
Then you came in, and, instead of
sharing my pity for him, you accused
me of flirting with him!"

Detroit is learning that the Junior

thought was fine thing, is having

They think you both must have guess

the parlor with Dora when I ran in on
New Years morning to tell her of your
engagement. She had been on the
point of asking him to help her to

told me about it, l wrote him a note
telling him that I believed she would

UNIQUE BABY WALKER.
A Nursery Appliance Which Has
Real HyEienic Value Besides Be-
Ing N Plnything.

The equipment of the modern
nursery is about as complete as the
gymnasium for the training of the
child in its maturer years. The appli-
ances run all the way from rattles to
miniature merry-go-rounds, not to
mention ring-around-a-roseys rings,
hobby horses and similar chjt'Ssh di-
versions. Something in the satne line,
and intended for the very 5rst lessons
in walking, as well as for the gradual
development of his sturdy neither ex-
tremities, while they are undergoing
the transformation from the cartila-
ginous to the bony structure, is the l'aby
walker here illustrated. This consists
