thing to spend the closing hou-s of the old
year in the quiet seriousness IF prayer and
sacred song Children had their share in
this. for fathers and mothers had not in
that simpler time learned to feSr the giving
Of definite religious instruction 50 their sons
and daughters 1t was clear ane plain that a
child must be trained in the way he should
go, and watch night part of that train

And indeed no youngster ever tried to
beg off There was first Of all yhe joy Of doing
the unusual and the fun OF sitting up past his
bedtime So you HE'D yourself to the nursery
couch or the sitting-room lounge, after a hot
supp,1 an oldfashioned winter supper Of sau-

half-past ten. father walked YOU, tucked you
into cap and overcoat, and the family party
started out under the cold stars, snow crunch

Not so very long age the writer came
across an old chrome, Of the sort that looks
in a dim and favorable light like fairly de-
cent OIL painting. In its day 1t had doubtless
been the chief ornament of a wellfurnished,
comfortable parlor. Now it cluttered the win
dow of a secondhand shop, dingy and out of
sorts with fate But even in the unflattering
light Of dusty show window, 1t had certain
charm for the one who found it. 1t was the
picture OF a watch-night service, such as she
had once known so well. Bright moonlight
flooded the scene, bringing out in sharpened
detail the snow-laden boughs of dropping elms
and the Gothic spire OF a small stane church.
From stained glass windows and opened door
came streaming the warm glow Of shaded gas
jets. From village streets focked men and
women and children, stopping to say a word of
greeting as they passed into the vestibule. The
spell of the picture took her, with the speed
of the magic carpet or of the sevenleagued
boots, back TO the New Years ewes Of her girl
hood
So she had walked with father and mother
and sleepy small brother. Just the treeg
had looked In the frosty moonlight And just
as warm and softly glowing had been the
stone church, through whose open doors came
the resonant strains of the great organ. She
remembered with aching vividness the faces

old custom of revamping threadbare resolutions

say that it is all waste of effort flash in the
pan, half-hearted CLOSING over Of mistakes by
wcrdy and none too sincere promises Of reform
The humorist will have his little fling in cartoon

sardonic glee of Robin Goodfellow over the folly
of mortals and find in every resolve new subject
for laughter. From the pulpit Sunday will
sound the admonition of the minister and the

cynic, the hooking grin of the humorist or the
approving smile of the moralist prophesy the fate

that even the most momentary impulses toward
better things will not be entirely wasted
There was time when, in the simple .ath of
childhood, you set down in black and white your
promises to do better. On the first page of your
new diary, yearly Christmas present you wrote
In your best Spencerian hand-we knew none
better in those days-something like this: Dur
