pearance OF the picture play John

tempered down 10 that everything
would come out all right in the end.

Some call this meanness Others

Daysey Mayme Appleton without
wasting any of her valuable time in
analytical research of human mo-
tives had discovered that her good
resolutions brought a smile of scorn
to her brothers face. and rather
than provoke it she decided to keep
her New Year resolutions secret
For several days she had been un-
svoidas!y prevented from, doing her
share of the homework by the labor
attendant upon the thinking. and
moulding and writing of her good
Intentions. One could not work. with
any concentration on the abstract
while facing anything so concrete as
dishpan or a broom.

That l will pin a flower on

That I viii be more modest, ac-

That I will have more guests at

them will incite my mother to higher
culinary ambition. and that there is
nothing more improving to the family
than to be constantly invested with
company manners;
That ] will prove my daughterly
love by getting breakfast every
morning."
These noble sentiments explain why
Dsysey Mayme is late to the table
every morning. 1t would be impossi-
bic to keep her good resolutions il
she did not constantly reinforce her
memory, SO she lies in bed while she
reads them, and deplores greatly
