REMEMBERED
FORGOTTEN g
BY LAURA JEAN LIBBEY

THE heart is hard in nature and unfit
For human fellowship. as being void
OF sympathy and therefore dead alike
To love and friendship both, that Is not
pleased
With sight of others enjoying life
Nor feels their happiness augment his
own"
At the beginning Of the New Year
one should brush the dust off his list
of friends, looking up those who have
dropped quietly out of ones everyday
life without very good reason for
it. Making new acquaintances Is usu-
ally an easy matter. But to nurture
those acquaintances until they bios
som into friends, cemented by loyalty
and constancy is different problem.
quaintances by the score-people who
invite them to their homes to dine, to
tbeater party, or merrymakingAyet
they are still acquaintance only.
Friendship means much more than
this, while few actually understand it.
Many a one has counted up hundred
so-called friends today. But If adver-
sity assails one tomorrow there may
not be one heart among the many one
could turn to for solace and cheer.
Not one pair of hands would be ex-
tended to draw one in from the cold,
the storm and darkness, II one is sud-
denly bereft Of shelter. Past benefits
are not remembered. Acquaintance
find 1t easy to forget. Only friends re-
member the past and its hallowed
memories.

"Whoop. n fruit cake" yelled a
watchful soldier, and grasped 1t as 1t
rolled to the ground. 'Hurrah!"
Some knitted socks and dozen lit
tie packages tied up with ribbon fell
out of the shattered receptacle. Dale
uttered sharp gasp. Among them
was letter. He snatched II up and.
aflush and quivering, secreted it in his
pocket quickly.
But not for long. When he had dr.
vided the cake among his importunate
comrades and gathered up the num-
berless mementoes from home. he got
to his tent speedily. He opened the
precious misslve, his eyes sparkled he
kissed it fervently and his face fairly
shone.
What a wild, riotous, fun-producing

program so thrillingly.

and bis heart beat faster against the

of her courtship-where she first met
her lover, their introduction, the i'm
preston she formed of him at first
sight. She even remembers what her
reveries were and her wonderment as
to whether or not he thought of her.
She remembers each call he made; all
that was said or done; how she had
detected his growing love for her even
before he guessed it himself. She re-
and the conversation that brought it
quite Unexpectedly about.
AS for the man she married, not one
man in hundred can remember what
emotion swept across his heart at his
first meeting with her whom he was
to love evermore till death did them
part. Ninety-nine men out of a hun
dred will confess to their wives. "I'm
blest If l just know just how I hap
pened to propose to YOU" When a
man can forget that most thrilling of
all moments in his life he can forget
anything. Such men find it very easy
to forget their wife's or children's
birthdays, realizing that remembrance
would call for presents.
Many wives are glad to have the chill
dren not forgotten. But they are just
as well satisfied that he has forgotten
how swiftly time is running away with
their good looks and aging them.
Last, and by no means least, no man
or woman, no matter how happily mar
ried, should allow the old folks at home
to imagine themselves forgotten by
them. 1t doesn't take much time to
write a few lines once in fortnight.
We should always remember not to for
get those who have been dear to us.

The Old Year
and the New

The Old Year sat beside the hearth.

ITO some gave a gardens bloom.
Sweet pansies and forget-me-nots;
TO some the cypress and the tomb.
The barrenness of desert spots.
With love tarried for a while
Breathing the sweet Elysian air;
And bidding Hope sereneiy smile
Across the threshold of Despair.
Il entered on my natal hour
Burdened alike with bliss and bane,
Commissioned by my Lord to dover
Some hearts with ease, and some with
pain,
Where happiness had rich increase;

But those l robbed OF Joy and peace
They will be glad to have me go!
I've followed many bridal train;
Have watched by many a lonely bier:
With birth and death, with loss and gain,
Made up the record of the year.
And now beside DEFENDERS gate
Wuere hangs the years alarum bell,
] pause to scan the past and wait
The sound of my own funeral knell.
"One!-How the hours have slipped away!

Four!-Some good / might accomplish
yet.
Five!-An angelic song awoke!

Seven.-Soon / shall hear the final stroke

Popular Wartime Song Hi.s.s

The Shannon Four present this
and Harry and Jack" which tells the
boys to be quick and do the trick" so
they can come back TO the homes and
sweethcarts that await them SO bravely.
On the other side OF the same record
the Peerless Quartet sings "Au Rcvoir
but Not Goodbye, Soldier Boy" an
equally cheery number in the same
strain. The line. when you've won
your victory God will bring you back
to me-" further clucidates the purport
of its sentiment.
"Just a Baby's Prayer at Twilight"
describes the supplication of little one
whose daddy is 'ovcr there" 1t is
effectively sung by Henry Burr on
new Victor Record.
On the reverse side Percy Hemus
sings "On the Road to Home, Sweet
Home" The song is reminder that
no matter how far the loved one may
have gone there is a Hand that will
guide his footsteps back to those he lett
behind.
A strain from "Home sweet Home"
is appropriately interviewer with this
melody. Mr.. Hemus is prominent
American artist who has temporarily
given up his own career in order to-
teach sailors how to sing.
Other striking popular melodies ap4
pearing on new Victor Records are:

The art of Galli.Curcifinely displayed
in Il Puritani."

Here is an aria primarily designed TO
Show off singers vocal gifts. With
consummate art Galli-Cruci has made
these passages of vocal display a means
Of intense emotional expression on
new Nictrola Record just issued. For
sheer vocal dexterity this record is re-
markable. There are many brilliant
passages, and singers will note with
envy and admiration the ease with
which Galli-Cruci sings difficult, rap
idly-descending chromatic scales-one Of
the hardest things to do vocally.
One Of the most pathetic scenes in all
the old Italian operas is that in 81

English maid, having discovered that
her lover had apparently deserted her
on her wedding day. betrays the fact
that her mind is unhinged. As her
mind dwells upon the past the music is
sung in tenderest accents. Presently,
however, belief that her lover will re-
turn brings a new note of hope, and
the melancholy opening phrases give
place TO more joyous strains. The music

Dancers may consider themselves
fortunate in the presentation of two
such catchy tunes as Tickle Toe" a
medley Fox-Trot, and Going Up" a
medley One-Step from the recently
produced happy-go-l lucky musical farce,
Going Up" The Victor Military Band,
which plays them, adds color and zest
with its mellow brass and woodwind
and the clash of cymbals.
The first two of series Of standard
songs interpreted by Laura Littiefeld

sued. They are the Cradle Song" and
The Little Dustman' by Brahms. Both
have become classics in the realm of
children's songs. Mrs. Littie6eld has a
soprano voice of fresh and vibrant
