in the exact center Of the window seat
and motioned me to place myself in
the portion of the left side that remain

he will keep the young girl he has
been calling on for the last twelve
month no longer in suspense. That he
will save up enough money to start
housekeeping on his own hook instead
of being a permanent guest OF father-
in-law. That he will stop throwing
bouquets of choice flowers to the
vaudeville beauties he admires; stop
flirting with the pretty cashier in the
restaurant where he takes his midday
lunches. That he will not wine and
dine with the fascinating young wild
ows on his calling list. That he will
not borrow any more cash from his
dear old mother and forget to pay it
back. That he will choose. for COM
panions only young men whom he
considers worthy to be introduced to
his sister. That he will not tell his
dad he went to visit a sick friend
when he was at a stag racket. That
he won't ruin his health with high
balls and midnight gambols while the
town sleeps. That he will not bet on
another mans game. That he will
leave off his favorite nightcap-gin

water. That he will cut down his ex-
travagance, getting his old clothes
pressed instead of enriching the tailor
by buying new ones.
These and a thousand other resolu

He laid in a large stock Of his favor
its brands of cigars and cigarettes.
The force of habit was stronger than
memory. He bought at wholesale and
smoked at wholesale rate. His re-
solve never occurred to him until he
was on his last cigar and faced a long
spell Of sickness as the result. A wise
old philosopher once said, "He who
breaks worthy New Year resolution
has cast pearls to the winds" It ig
equally unsatisfactory to press upon
the average young man resolutions he
will almost surely fail to keep.
