glory be! We have several pretty
good derby hats of the past, one
little fellow with a low crown
and crimped brim, the vintage OF
1898 or therebouts. 1t is in good
state of preservation. 1t certainly
possesses a good deal of personali-

a hit under the London rules by
wearing it to office some fine morn

to wait and find out more definitely

Disregard of "Styles" Is
Latest Thing In London

The latest "style" in London is
to disregard styles. That is to
say, the up-to-date woman has a
dress made as she desires it. re-
gardless of what is supposed to be
"the prevailing fahion." She
seeks "personality," as she calls it,
and pays no attention to the fash
ion plates. 1t need not confarm
to anybody else's dress as regards
length. "fullness," fabric or "hang-
ing effects" if those are proper
dressmaking terms, with which we
confess no Familiarity.
What a wonderful lot Of
trouble it would save the women
if it should come to prevail that
one woman paid no attention to
another woman's apparel! If a
woman imagines she looks better
in a long skirt or if she prefers
"fullness' or "skimpiness" or any
thing else let her have it-and
there shall be none to point the
finger Of scorn at her and to re-
mind her that she is out Of style.
All she need to do to be happy
would be to convince herself that
the garment displayed "personali-
ty."

Two Sides To Proht-Sharing

George w. Perkins writes an in
teresting article in the current is
sue Of Rotarian Magazine, entitled
The Workers Fair Share" in
which he devotes considerable at
tention to profit-sharing.
At first thought proft-sharing
would seem to be a ready soluble
to the industrial unrest now pre-
vailing, inducing the worker to
produce as much as possible in the
hope Of sharing in the profits, the
same as stockholders.
But there are two sides to profit
sharing, as there are to every other
proposal.

New Years Day

In the Gregorian calendar this
date occurs twelve days earlier
than in the Julian; thus in Russia
and in those countries where the
latter is still employed, New Years
Day is celebrated on our 18th of
January.
The ancient Egyptians, Phoeni-
clans and Persians began their
year at the autumnal equinox
(September 21), and the Greeks,
until the fifth century 3. c., at the
winter solstice December 2D. In
the year 432 B. c. the latter alter
ed their New years Day to the
21st of June. The Romans cele-
brated the beginning of the year
on the Dist Of December, but Cae-
sar by the adoption Of the Julian
calendar postponed it to the 1st
of January.
The Jews have always reckoned
their civil year from the first day
of the month Tishri September 6,
October 2D. The 25th of March
was the universal date among
Christian peoples in early medieval
days. In England, however, the
25th day Of December was New
Years Day. William the Con-
queror ordered that the year
should begin on the 1st of Janu-
ary-the day Of his coronation.
Later England began her year with

A Path untrod; a House whose

Lacks yet the hearts divine per

A Landscape whose wide border

In silent shade meath silent skies;
wondrous Fountain yet unsealed; !;
A Casket with its gifts concealed; ;
This is the Year that for YOU waits
Beyond Tomorrow's mystic gates.

the rest of Christendom on the 25th

Little Benjamin, accompanied
by his governess, was out for his
morning stroll, when they passed
a street where a load of straw had
been scattered in front of house
in which there had been a serious
Illness.
"Miss Teacher, why have they
scattered all this straw about

"Well," replied the good lady,
