without his long white hair he'd had
to- make him look like the old year.
OF course he couldn't miss the party,
and so Peter Gnome and he arranged
that he should be the old year just
long enough to bring in the New Year
with lot Of fun and excitement and
merriment.
Peter Gnome was wearing bright
golden suit with a golden crown. He
had little wings attached to his feet
and he wore golden curls. He looked
very young, and very funny, because
he still looked like little gnome in
spite Of all his extra touches.
But the joke Of the party was the
arrival Of the Oaf family.
They came dressed as golden but

GnOme. "That Is a joke"
They flew about in their lovely cos

the Oaf family. "And so we're here
dressed as summer butterflies"
And then they noticed that Witty
Witch and old Mr.. Giant, who had just
arrived, were dressed like two cocoons
"They 60 ahead Of us and burst into
butterflies" they called. "We're the

New Years Then and Now,

As long as people can remember,
there have been New Year parties.
The old Romans gave theirs in honor
OF Janus, the two-faced god. One face
looked back at the old, spent year,
and one face looked forward to the
new, fresh year. They gave presents
to him and to each other with the
hope that the new year would be
good to them. Some of the people who
lived long ago waited until the end Of
March to celebrate the New Year
since that was the time that the trees
and grass began new life. The Per-
SLAMS still exchange presents Of eggs
at New Years, just as we do at Eas-
-er. But the rest Of us now do our
giving Of presents at Christmas. Par
ties, though, we may give to each 9TH
,er on January 1. In Scotland and
England everybody calls on everybody
else New Years day. and drinks
punch. Here in America calling has
gone out Of style. but If we do moth
Ing more, we at least shout Happy
New Year" to everybody we meet on

Joy That All Can Have.

The joy Of living is best found In
the real success Of life. Take away
success and there's no Joy in life to
one alive to opportunities and respon.

mere existence, for he wants to con.
tribute something to the worlds prog.
ress, the worlds good. And 1t is in such
contribution that real Joy Is found, the
satisfaction that comes from full reali
cation that one has done what he
could in the year given him. So this is
the joy this journal wishes every read.

1t is a great mystery that lies ahead,

short; shorter in absolute measure

each year, when October fades into
November, has wrought completeness.
No human life can bring completeness.
1t cannot bring completeness Of knowl-
edge or completeness Of happiness or
completeness of good works. The best
man can do, in his poor, limited way.
Is to CLEAN as much wisdom and win
as much happiness and do as much
good as the number Of his days per-

the mud Of Flanders wrote detailed te-

These men visited Olympus and did
