other days. For that matter, they may have resolved to do or not to do lots of things, but l believe they were not a whit better than we moderns are in this par ucular.
 My resolutions, if they may be called that, are of an entirely different order. In one sense they cannot be called resolu- tlons at all, for their sum and substance IS simply the giving expression again to a desire to hold to the things in life tha, I prize. Every new year this desire comes upon me more and more strong ly You do not quite understand? Let me explain:
 T don't trouble myself so much abou, what I shall or shall not do under the conditions that are bound to arise with Tn twelvemonth Of course, I have cer- tain general lines of action, as most peo- pie have, and hope as I think most of us do, that I may gain in wisdom and understanding as the days go by But as for mapping out a detailed plan of cam paign when I don't know exactly wha, the campaign Is going to be-why I am through with that. What I do is to put an increased value on my possessions of one sort or another, and, so fortified. meet the coming year
 My dearest possessions are my friend ships I may say here that I include among my friendships those precious ones that exist within the family circle. As the old year closes I dwell on what these friendships. have meant to me, on all that I have received from them and the blessings that they hold in promise, Some of my friendships, now, are but memories, but they are none the less powerful indeed, certain friendships to which cling in memory are increasing factors in my life. At any rate. there they are with all thier richness. And, as l dwell on them, I find that I am pre- pairing myself to be more worthy of the gifts received through this source.
 "Another set of possessions is com they are-that have been especially de- lightful to me or from which I have learned lessons that l should keep in mindw. These experiences stand out when F. give myself an hour or two of mus ing on the past. Those of the past year are naturally freshest in my recollection. seek to emphasize them to see how they have affected me; how I have gained by them, or, perhaps. in what way I have missed something that they might have brought me. The future. I imagine, is unconsciously molded by just such andy ses
 This will give you an idea of my New Year thoughts. l have called the process going over my possessions. Possessions. indeed, they are. and of the most lasting kind.

Search for 25 Most Beauti-
 ful Words

In recent contest to determine which 25 words are worth being considered the most beautiful in the English Ian guage. James Shea, a New York lawyer, won first prize with an accepted list of Y words of the 9 he submitted. Here is the list of 9 words which, in the judg- ment of the prize winner. are the most beautiful in the whole English language: Melody, splendor, adoration, grace, elo- quence, virtue, innocence, modesty. faith, truth, peace, nobility, joy, honor, love, divine, heaven, hope, harmony. happi- ness, purity, justice, liberty, radiance, sympathy.
 From the foregoing list of 25 words the judges struck four grace, divine. justice and truth-as lacking in euphony com pared to the other words of the list. Grace and justice were stricken out be- cause of the harshness of the '.g in grace, and the 'j'' in justice. The word truth had a metallic sound, so the judges declared and divine. while beautiful in the sentiment implied, lacked euphony.

 The old Years heart it's hopes laid down, As in grave; but, trusting, said: 'The blossoms of the New Years crown Bloom from the ashes of the dead. The Old Years heart was full of greed, With selfshness it longed and ached, And cried 'I have not half l need My thirst is bitter and unslaked But to the New Years generous hand All gifts in plenty shall return True loving il shall understand By all the failures il shall learn, ] have been reckless, it shall be Quiet and calm and pure of life. ] was a slave; il shall go free, And find sweet peace where leave

New Years Resolutions

This is the time of year that we all do little paying. In the flush of the holiday season, we have perhaps, spent a little more or feasted little longer than has been good for us. Now the bills begin to come in and we learn that in- comes are not as elastic as expenditures; that colds. even when contracted at merry -nakings, make a man feel moidy and that the jolliest feast may have a Banquo in the guse of dyspepsia. All of which is depressing and makes us long 10 renounce the pomps and vanities and turn over a new leaf,
 And as this seems an especially good time in which to form resolutions, most of us quietly decide to renounce some pet sia or besetting weakness. It may be cigars or matinee tickets, but whatever il he. we are strong in our determina- ton 10 do without it.
