1923—1924.
We greet the year with, song and
laughter;
Although the old is dead,
The new comes shouting, running
after,
A bay leaf on Its head.
We hail it with triumphal cheer,
But oh. record the shame:
Although we honor so the year.
We oft forget Its name.
On checka and letters often we,
As In the year before,
Will write “1-14-23”
Instead of “24."

“My Husband’s Love”
Mother Graham Told the Trutli
About Elizabeth
I am always fairly sure of Junior's
obedience to my commands, but I
must confess that I held my breath
figuratively and literally when I told
him to apologize to his grandmother.
Suppose he should disobey me and
that with my stately and critical
sister-in-law looking on! There had
been a sufficiently large ado over
nothing already. X did not wish to
add the enforcement of maternal dis
cipline to the teapot tempest just
passed.
For a tense second his eyes so like
his father’s—and his grandmother's—
held mine steadily, and 1 realized to
my dismay that his baby judgment
had pronounced me unreasonable and
unjust. But his habit of obedience
Ujld and he advanced valiantly toward
his grandmother.
“I ani sorry I was rude. Danzie,"
he repented with a, parrot like inflec
tion, "and I fink Richard Second Is a
—is—a—
His eyes met mine appealingly, and
with a stabbing flash I comprehend
ed that I was compelling tie* small
hoy lo tell an untruth. Regardless of
anything save that possibility I
opened my lips to tell him he need
not voice his liking for the name,
when my mother-in-law, with the
royal capitulation of which she is
sometimc-s capable, ami which Dicky
inherits from her, caught hitn up in
her arms and stopped further utter
ance by hugging him tightly with
is face pressed Into her shoulder.
Junior Is Saved
"You shall/ not say It," she cried.
"Margaret tell him he need not. Oh.
we are wicked, teaching him to He.”
Junior wriggled his head free, and
looked at me.
"Don’t 1 need to say dat’s a nice
name?" he quer.ed. *
"No, Junior,” I assured him.
He considered a minute gravely.
"May I say vat kind of name It
is?" he asked hopefully.
"No, you may not. Mother does
not like you to use those words."
"Vat words?! Dumb-"
"Do you know Junior," Harriet In
terrupted, to my great relief, "that
I never will find my room if you
don't show it to'me as you promised.
And I’ll have to ask you to be porter
and carry a bag for me.”
The Childless Wife
Junior chuckled delightedly as he
laboriously climbed the stairs, and
as the delighted boy and the gravely
smiling woman vanished into the hall
above Lillian and I looked at each
other In recognition of the striking
circumstance that it had been th -
childless woman of our quartet who
unerringly had cut the tangled
threads of the trying situation, and
"managed" the small boy with com
prehending sympathy.
A sigh from my mother In law and
the look in her eyes told me that
she had shared our thoughts.
"Children in her life," she said re
greatfully, addressing me ns If there
never had been the slightest shadow
of difference between us. "That’s
what Harriet needs, but she can't
stand any not her own kin or Ed
win’s, and I don't blame her.
"Things are mighty mixed up In
this world,” she went on reflectively
her eyes still fixed upon the stairs
up which her daughter had gone.
"Now, here's Harriet, a born mother,
If ever there was one, hasn't a child,
and Elizabeth, who hasn't any husi
ness taking care of a cat let alone
a child, has four. I know"— she
answered the astonished glance I had
involuntarily given her—“Elizabeth’s
my own daughter Just as much as
Harriet is, and I have no business
talking that way—you never heard
me say It before, but the truth's
the truth, and you know I'm speak
Ing it. Margaret, Just as well as 1
do,"

New Ideas For New Year’s Games
and Decorations
“——
For the many vvno plan to entertain
on New Year's, we are giving some
suggestions for decorations and
games which will perhaps be helpful.
Decorations.
Bluebirds are the symbol of hap
piness and what better time to make
them a part of the decorative motif
that at New Year's?
The light shade Is a dainty fringe
of white crepe paper, on w hich black
letters are cut from cardlioard and
silvered ai» pasted. Bluebirds cut
out from decorated crepe paper are
also fastened to the fringe.
The table Is bordered with a white
crepe paper fringe divided at Inter
vals with strands of tinsel ribbon.
The centerpiece Is made of green
crepe paper cut Into petals and twist
ed; then formed Into a large pom
pon. Bluebirds cut from decorated
crepe paper are pasted to a light cov
ered wire whb h has been formed Into
a spiral by twisting around a pencil.
Tho spiral Is fastened to heavier wire
stuck into the pompon.
The little figures carrying nut cup
baskets on their heads ore painted
horns pressed up in crepe paper.
The clown head favore are made
from balls of cotton covered smooth
lv with crepe paper on which faces
are painted. The pnper ends are
fastened to a dowel with Spool wire.
Two full ruffles are fastened with
tinsel ribbon around the neck of each
clowm to which are hung bells.
The Costume.
The costume Is a very simple slip
over made of white crepe paper to
which Iftters are pasted to form "A
Happy New Year." The clock is
drawn out on white mat-stock and
pasted to the slip-over.
Games.
A "current events contest" is a
good one for a starter. Cut from
magazines and dally papers pictures
illustrative of events which have
taken place during the year 1923
Number them and pin them up in con
spicuous places, minus, of course,
their titles. By corresponding num
bers on cards distributed to the
guests can be written the answer or
description of the pictured happening
A good prize to reward the successful
contestant would be a picture.
Give each guest a two-page folder
on the cover of which la printed
“Turn Over a New Lenf.” A
gummed seal which is a realistic au
tumn leaf in four-color combinations,
would make a pretty decoration for
this cover. Inside write the follow
ing:
“For the answer to each of the fol
lowing, give a word of which the
first syllable ts pronounced ' new'*:
1. Another word for nourishing
2. Name of a disease
3. One who is Impartial
4. A m-w- Jersey city
6. Pertaining to a number
6. Containing air or gas
7. A post
8. The act of nodding the head
9. A famous scle-ntist
10. An English city famous for coal
11. Another word for many
12. A center
13. To count
14 A kind of antelope

thought. For example, a bowl of

represent the month of June, or per
