BY Juliette Lee.

THE NEW YEARS RESOLVE.
The past year has closed behind us
New Year, ready to add another
years score to the sum total of our
human endeavors. II is well that We
pause and take stock of the past year
then we shall be better able to lay
out a program for our new year.
What advances were made last year
in material way? Have l added in
any way substantially to my worldly
goods? Were my investments of a
kind that deterioated just as soon as
they came into my possession? What
of my intellect do, l know any more
than did last year? Have / laid hold
of every opportunity to learn and i'm
year? Did | spend money wisely and
with an understanding of its best pur-
chasing power? What of my higher
life? Am l a better Christian? Have
/ done anything definite to grow into
greater .womanhood and into a higher
spiritual realm. Did / seriously use
my talent to help my fellowman? And
to build up a better world around
These are questions many women
may well ask themselves as they
make resolves for better things in the
year to come. Everyone of us no
doubt have fallen far short of our
highest accomplishments, but having
made this inventory let us resolve for
this year. to be better women, better
mothers, better wives and better
daughters.
