The opening of the new year, which la always a day of good resolutions, feasting and fashionable calls, promises to be cele brated next Tuesday with all the pomp of former years, and socially It Is l. oe un usually gay, as numerous large functions, both publlo and private, have been an nounced. Prominent among these are the luncheons to be given by Mrs E. L. Lo fnax. Miss Lomax and Miss Moliler at the borne of Mrs. Lomax at 1028 Dodge. Thla spacious housj Is admirably adapted to auch entertainment, and Tuesday being a holiday, the men will be able to distinguish the occasion by their presence. Mr. and Mrs. Henry W. Yates will observe their annual custom of opening their handsome home, "Hillside," for the Informal recep tion of their friends from'' S to o'clock, While out In the vicinity of Hanscom park a bevy of young women will keep open house during the afternoon.

The majority of them, however, will assist at the Lomax Mohler luncheon, but for the late after noon and evening they have announced nothing. The impromptu affair la always possible, however. Chrlatmaa day, for which people have been so busy making ready the last few weeks, is now but a pleasant mempry and those who are accustomed to the lngle of bells, a snow-covered landscape and froaty air, find it hard to realise that the glad festival has really arrived and de parted so soon. The moderate weather makes It almost seem a mistake. Yet It was duly celebrated with all the good cheer Incidental to the seaeon.

The resolution per taining to this matter read: "The charter shall contain no proposition for conferring the right of suffrage upon women." This was amended to read: "The charier shall contain a proposition conferring the right of suffrage upon women." The defeat of the amendment came In the carrying of a motion to table the resolution and Its amendment. Its mover supporting his mo tion with the argument that he did not think women wanted suffrage; that they live at home and are bound up In their husbands and children and do not care to enter actively ' into politics, as they can Influence their husbands and brothers and fathers without having a vote.
