You aren't congratulating anybody,

proud and who will give him the

There are plenty of them that aren't,

THE Old YEAR

THE Old YEAR
heard tho Old Year talking and he seemed
to say to me:
I'm what mankind has made me- not what
l hoped 10 be.
I did not bring the failures, my days were
bright and new
| was the time allotted-the work was mans
TO do.
81 am what others made me. had no will
or choice,
Through All the days OF trial was not given
voice.
II victory came, man earned this was the
faith and power;
II sorrow came. God sent tt furnished
but the hour.
Il came here ompty-handed. a year that was
TO be,
And what am in passing mankind has
am their petty failures, their glory, their
success,
am their souls advancement. their shame
and happiness.
81 was not born in evil nor governed by the
stars
brought to none high honors. to others ugly
scars;
Only my days were numbered. l was the
time for toll,
And each has reaped the harvest as he has
titled the soil.
"f am what men have made me. not what
| hoped to be,
And SO shall be the New Year which soon
shall follow me,
Our days good or eYil, each man
serves and strives,
For years are but the records on which men
write their lives"

CHAPTER XLII.
Mrs. Walter Urges Margaret 10
Dress BeCumingly

While it amused her. Margaret
also felt a bit worried because OF
Joan's confession. She laughed
when she thought of the name she
had applied to the stately Mrs
Thompson, then grew more serious
when she recalled Joan's naive man
ner of deciding whether she liked
Ted or Malcolm the better, But she
could only watch and await develop
ments. Joan was always popular.
Her freedom of speech and manner,
her breeziness, her familiarity with
outdoor sports made her much
sought companion of the young peo-
pie; both boys and girls. Margaret
knew she had made no idle boast
when she said she was bound to be
popular in college.
But the idea OF an engagement
ring having a "moral effect! the
serious way Joan had spoken was
really too ridiculous. And yet IN q
way she had been right. She had
meant that owing fealty TO some
one person might keep her from be-
ing too friendly with others. Mar
caret knew the working OF her
daughters mind so well that she
could now almost reason from
Joan's ndpoint-forgetting heI
own ideas on any subject they dis
cussed.
Ted, being a house guest. was
down TO breakfast. Margaret re-
pressed smile as she saw his sulky

. Why not?
After n girl has reached maturity
and n splendid, strong man tells her
OF his love and she receives IL hap
PLY as what she most desires and
they decide to be married. what Is
wrong In congratulating the girl?
The "Do and Don'ter" says congrat-
ulate the man. l should think con-
gratulations are In order on both
sides.
Seldom does girl marry unless
she believes she is marrying the one
man I'm the world for her. she has
met many, she has made her COM
parsons, she has made her choice.
IL her heart and her head have
worked wisely and she has chosen
n worthy man-she is to be congrat-
ulatcd.
A girl has to do the choosing of
her life mate all alone. OF course
there are always plenty of people
standing by wanting TO help, but In
the end she goes IL alone and makes
her selection according to something
that tells her hes the man."
At their wedding, II the sroom''
