Dolly Has Something Say About Those New Year Resolutions

 He was going to get up early, very early, he swore. on New Years Day, and have plenty of time to eat his breakfast in peace and read the morning paper without hurrying like sin, but on the seccnd morning of the glad New Year he apT ears just in time to swallow his cup of coffee and 'muneh" at a roll, and speed off like March hare for fear he'll be late at the office.
 Here's another; it's Miss Economy, and shes going to live up to her name dur ing the year of 19l5 or de In the at tempt.
 She's not going to spend money reck- lessly, for "matinees' and fudge" and expensive shoes and white gloves. and "corsage" bouquets which she has pre- viously bought each Saturday if her beau didn't send her one.

This is an annual resolve with her. SO we don't pay much heed to 1t. but every year she solempiy rsiteratss this statement and vcrily believe shs thinks she's going to live up to it this New Year
 And so the story goes on from time immemorial.
 Occasionally we meet strong minded friend who has nerve enough to confess in a loud voice that she hasn't made tha ghost of resolution this New Year's- In fact. she stopped 1t years ago. for the sake of herself and for tho good of humanity. but the most of us whom driven to the wall must acknowledge that tho custom of years Is still strong upon us. and so the jury finds us guilty" After all. perhaps it's good thing that once year We take stock of ourselves and try even feebly to brace up even If it's for ever so little a while And besides, 1t makes an awfully inter esting situation to watch the rest of our fellow sinners ''backslidep just as we do. so by the time February comes in. we will be following again the advice of the an- cient dame who said:
 Tor. let's be comfortable"
 As for myself. I've made only one little tiny bit of resolution this New Years. and that Is firm resolve not to join any sort of an aggregation or organisa- tlon that has for its object the reforming of anything or anybody. either by law or moral suasion. which seem to mean one and the same things those days. be- cause I'm too busy trying to reform n.y. self.
