Old 1912 Sends Back Greeting
to His Successor.
DESCRIBES HIS OWN EXIT

With Suddenness.
WAS OvERTAKEN BY DARKNESS
Remains as a Spectator as Logn as
Possible and Receives
Grand Send-Off.

When 1912 had been safely showed into
oblivion to the toot of horns and in a
shower of confetti. the old boy sat him
self down to write a letter to his young
brother 1913, and this is what he wrote:
Dear Kid:
I'm wondering if You have the same
headache this morning that | had year
ago when / sat up. blinking my eyes
and wondering what in the name Of the
calendar had happened to me. They GER
tainly did give me a good send-off last
night, and l am wondering, also, if you
finished the evening the way l started it.
/ left so suddenly when the lights went
out at midnight that l didn't get chance
to tell you about that confetti business.
Did it get in your hair? Or have you got
any hair, yet? l couldn't tell whether
they were glad to see me go or whether
they were anxious to see you come in.

Cause of Disquietude.

Something must have happened to the
festivity in the early part of the evening.
1t looked if the bunch had forgotten
me. for the only sign of New Year eve
on Pennsylvania avenue up to about lob
o'clock was presented by three lonesome
looking youths who had bought 5-cent
tin horn. They blew it in turns. Later
eight young women with these snaky paper
things that unroll suddenly when blown
in the faces of respectable old gentlemen
came down the street. and shortly after
three more youths with tin pan per-
petrated a libel on terpsichore by turkey
trotting from 9th street to 10Th street.
Il was a little bit interested in seeing
whether or not there would be a walters
strike. There had been rumOr to that
effect from New York, but the walters
hadn't struck at the time I went by you
so suddenly. going toward the place
marked Exit The walters did not have
time to strike, perhaps

Pretty Girls All There.

''And say. kid. it made me feel jealous
to leave so hurriedly with all those pretty
girls sitting around. Honest. every fell
low must have gone over the city with
fine tooth comb to drag out all the
pretty ones. There We're about one
million nine hundred and eighty-seven
thousand pretty at?-well, any
way, there were couple of hundred. And
every one of 'em wore earrings, and had
their hair down over their ears. That 5
one of the things that grew popular in
my regime. I'm wondering what sort of
things they'll be wearing when you make
your getaway next New Years Eve.
They had lot of fun tossing confetti
around ! suppose If there's anything
that makes a young woman happy it is
dashing a half bushel of confetti on some
perfect strangers head, and then laugh
ing.
THAT blaze of light that you saw at
first was your welcome. Remember in
one or two of the hotels there was an
electric sign reading Happy New Year ?
Well, that was for you. Everything grew
dark just before that. and l slipped out,
and you came in. They sang Aud Lang
Syne' and shouted Happy New Year
Gosh, but l wish l could have stayed

Greater Activity Later.

1.-THE evening warmed up bit about an
hour before you landed. They were get
ting ready for you in grand shape. The
chicken a la king and the terrapin were
being Transported in chatting dishes. and
the popping of corks seemed to prophesy
a headache for January !.
.'Of course. that was all on the inside
of the cafes and hotels, where everybody
who could wriggle into his or her best
clothes seemed to be gathered. Some of
'em got there early and stood around in
evident pride. I saw one large, fat person
who wheeled to right and to left. and if
ever there was fellow who seemed to
be saying: Look me over, folks; l got on
dress suit he was it. Later, a garcon
placed a paper cap on his head, and made
him look like sleepy god Of the revels
and he was SO tickled that he forgot to
give the waiter the change.
There was section of a boy choir
dressed up in old-time clothes, singing
old time carols, i'm one of the hotels, and
in another one there were half dozen
cabaret actors, who started the year in
good fashion, I am told, by springinS
some jokes that have had such a time
honored career that every one knew they
were funny. Didn't make any difference,
though, one mustn't look at cabaret hui
NOR too closely.

Today's Beauty Recipes
BY Mime. D'Milie.

The best hair remover 1 know is a
simple paste made by mixing powdered
delatone with a little water. Cover the
hairs with this paste, leave on two
minutes. wipe off, wash the skin and
the hairs will be gone.
Mothers Salve is an old-time house
mold remedy that can be bought In
ready prepared form at most drug
stores 1t often breaks up a stubborn
cold IN head or chest over night 1t is
easy to use, quick to act, and relieves
catarrh, Group, sore throat, etc.
The Vaucaire home treatment for
developing the bust is prepared by
making syrup with 11a cupfuls sugar
and a pint of hot water into which is
stirred an ounce of gallol. Two tea
spoonfuls before meals accelerates the
blood's circulation and the underlying
tissues gradually assume their true
proportions
To correct dark, muddy or sallow
compilations, apply in the morning a
lotion made by dissolving an original
package of mayatone in a half pint of
witch hazel. This treatment makes the
skin fair, fresh and smooth and pre-
vents the growth of hair. 1t will not
rub off or show like powder.
Never use the comb or brush be-
longing to another person, for the para
sites that cause falling haid and bald
ness are easily conveyed Mothers
Shampoo removes these parasites and
restores dry, brittle and faded hair to a
glossy, fluffy condition. You can buy
Mothers Shampoo from your druggist
for 25 cents a package of ten sham
poos.-Adv.

AZ month ago detectives, who had

an estate was awaiting him at Chi

was really bona fide
He found $4,000 in a Chicago trust

to him. And he found that he was the
owner of five-story building at 422l

Several years ago he attained this
