WHAT A DIFFERENCE
 l2 MONTHS DO MAKE
Just as Many New Years Parties,
 But Not the Same

W hat difference d year does make! There were just many New Years eve parties staged in the city last eve ming as when the ncVer-to-be- forgot ten 1919 was ushcrcd in more than a year ago, but as the clock struck the hour of , and glasses were raised oil high. the gauge at Shuttle Meadow showed a distinct falling off. whereas a year ago. under similar conditions, the water level remained constant and the only noticeable falling off was in the stock on hand.''
 Many New Britainites attended the New Hcar's eve parties at the Allyn house, at Heublein's. the Bond. StOeck $ the various country clubs and other dining rooms and cabarcts. but bottled joy was the exception rather than the rule. Those who had it, brought it. and were mighty careful of it. Grape juice, lemonade. ginger ale, cider and other prohibition con CoctionS were most in evidence
 Tn this city the Wentworth club gave a highly successful New Years eve entcrtainmcn and dance. luncheon being served at midnight, accom- anicd by the usual paper hats. Streame CTS, balloons and other favors. In Bar decks hall the tiremen's ball held sway and big crowd was in attend ance. Mt the '. w. C. A. the A. D. $. fraternity of the High school held d dance. ElseW here, in private resi- dences. in lodge rooms and other SO cial centers smaller parties were staged.
 Churches. too. conducted the uSla | watch night services and the members of the congregations who were in att tendance showed that the old tim @ watch night services are not thing of the past.
