thought Ellen had 'talEen over''
after the loss Of their parents. and
stopped writing to Ellen without
ever telling Ellen the reason she
had not answered any letters.
Ellen had no idea her sister
Lulu had any such thoughts. She
proved to Lulu's satisfaction every
thing she had done had been for
her mothers comfort during her
long illness, and that there was no
money left to divide! There had
elapsed two whole years Of tInnec-

not only grieved for their loss but
she also grieved because Of Lulu's
seemingly indifference to her. The
New Year win be a much happier
one for both Ellen and Lulu be-
cause they have become reunited.

WHAT DO YOU BRING9
Out Of the haze Of approaching
days,
what do you bring, New Year?
Il bring a chain of gold called
Now,
OF moments to ill with thrill and
glow
OF service, love and cheer.
I bring you a chance and a chal-
lenge new,
And fresh, new programs to dream
and do,
With crimson dawns and skies of
blue.
And it's up to you, my dear"
Out Of the maze Of the yesterdays,
What shall I bring, New Year?
Bring with you courage that's
born Of fight
For high ideals and the cause
that's right.
Bring discomfort for the status
quo
Where life is begged and drab and
low.
Bring me the faith that mans
noblest dream
Is none too good to be true. Su-
preme
Let joys be counted that bring to
men
The nerve to wreck and build
nobler again.
Bring love that Is sure that good
can rise
And fill our horizons to the skies
With nobler structures on saner
plan
Than self ever drew for the tasks
of man.
Bring patience to wait, still contest
the wrong.
Though days be dark, nights dis
NAL and long.
Bring memories where fear and
failure met,
With courage to tackle and conquer
yet.
And, most Of all, a heart fun
dressed
To welcome and entertain Heavens
guest.
And out Of His promptings your
tasks shall spring
And make every Now worth re-
membering;
It's up to you, my dear"
George A. Bale.
