The WOman's New
Year

} THE recent years have brought
10 women u sane knowledge
OF health conditions and
or pure food requirements. They
nave brought the great prize of
an awakened feminine con-
} science and sense of RESPONSE
bility which has resulted in bet
} ter school conditions and In
mothers clubs and societies
} which have to do with the well
fare of the young.
} And, as 1t is fitting that all
New Years meditation shall
J have to do somewhat with reso.
lutions. 1t would seem that the
modern woman's outlook should
include the determination TO
} seek new paths of effectiveness
and achievement. And since
her allegiance Is TO her husband.
her children. her home, her
friends. her work, to the world.
she should resolve that the new
year shall bring the broader
viewpoint. the wider sympathy.
the receptive mind. which shall
make her respond to the needs
of those whom she loves and
shall make her n gracious and
useful member OF society.
For myself | am glad that
hope and health and friends
have come TO me in my New
Years ships, but go beyond
this TO be grateful for the Won
derful treasures of idealism and
opportunity which the New
Years ships are bringing to you
} and to me and to all the priv
ileged and fortunate women of
} this wonderful land of ours

THAT this shall be better year
4 Than any passed away

THAT this shall be better year
Z Than any passed away
/ dare not at its open door
To wish or hope or pray.
Not that the years already gone
Were wearisome and lone,
That so with hope too long deferred
My heart has timid grown.
Nay, rather that they all have been
So sweet to me and good
That if for better I should ask
Twould seem ingratitude.
And so with things far off and strange
do not care to cope,
But look in Memory's face and learn
What largess may hope.
Another year of setting suns,
OF stars by night revealed,
Ofspringing grass, of tender buds
BY winters snow concealed.
Another year of summers glow
OF autumn's gold and brown.
Of waiting fields and rudy fruits
The branches weighing down.
Another year of happy work.
Which better is than play;
OF simple cares and love that grows
More sweet from day to day.
Another year of baby mirth
And childhoods blessed ways;
OF thinkers thought, and prophets
dream,
And poets tender lays.
Another year at beautys feast,
At every moment spread; yf m
or silent hours when grow distinct,
The voices OF the dead.
Another year to follow hard
Where bettor souls have trod,
Another year of life's delight,
Another year OF God
