THE NEW YEAR
By GEORGE COOPER
in Indianapolis News
’Katherine Edelman
-<s® —
rjERHAPS it was something about
J*the closing of the year that
brought Paul and Ethel to the
final decision. Anyway, it was New
Year’s eve when they talked the
matter over in a business-like way,
and definitely decided upon the
break. Months of growing irrita-
tion seemed to leave no other alter-
native than the court, they agreed.
Both seemed relieved when the de-
cision was made, and both agreed
the quicker everything was over
and settled, the better. They would
begin packing up right away: the
smaller things could be put away
tonight.
, Outside snow was falling in thick,
white flakes. Every now and then
sudden gusts of wind rattled the
doors and windows. But neither of
them seemed to notice. Perhaps
the tumult in their own hearts dulled
them to the fact that a storm of a
different kind was venting its anger
outdoors.
“What about this old clock Uncle
Henry gave us?” Ethel asked, as
she took it down from the mantel.
Paul laughed a little harshly.
“You keep it,” he said; “time isn’t
going to mean a thing to me from
now on.”
“But it came from your Uncle,”
Ethel protested; “he would want
you to have it.”
“I tell you I don’t give a darn
about the clock—or—or about any-
thing else for that matter.” Paul
threw a pile of books that he had
just picked up across the length of
the room. “Let’s get some one
else to do this—this sort of thing
makes the whole business seem aw-
ful.”
“Why, Paul, we just decided that
we would be business-like—that we
would make no fuss, or—”
“Well, I thought I felt that way,
but I was wrong. I just can’t fool
with this stuff tonight . . . Ethel,
this may sound crazy, but is there
any reason, now that we’ve decided
to part for good, why we can’t go
out and celebrate the New Year to-
gether. We—we don’t have to really
like each other to do that—we can
go down and watch the crowds.
Anything to get away from this
gloom!”
“Do you really mean that?”
There was a queer little catch in
Ethel’s voice as she spoke, and her
blue eyes seemed a bit misty. “Of
course I’ll go—I’ll be glad to—
there’s too many ghosts around here
tonight; it does make packing a-bit
difficult . . . But, can you get a
cab this late?”
“I’ll get one.” Paul’s voice was
firm. Relief and eagerness shone
from his dark eyes. “You hurry
and doll up. I’ll see to the cab.”
In half an hour they started
away. Both were flushed, excited.
It seemed a bit daring, adventur-
ous, to go out celebrating the New
Year together, when they had de-
cided only an hour ago that life
under the same roof was unbear-
able any longer.
In spite of the crowds in the ho-
tels and cafes, they found a little
table, with a delightful view of ev-
erything that was going on. Paul
ordered a bit recklessly. Since this
was to be their last evening togeth-
er, he was going to do the job right.
But when the food came, they both
ate rather silently. The small talk
that had come so easy on the way
down seemed to suddenly fail them
. . . Every once in a while Paul
glanced across the table at his wife.
What a pity, he thought, they
couldnfc make a go of things! In
his eyes Ethel was easily the best
A SONG for the Old,
While its knell is tolled.
And its parting moments fly!
But a song and a cheer
For the glad New Year,
While we watch the Old Year die!
Oh, its grief and pain,
Ne’er can come again,
And its rare lies buried deep;
But what joy untold
Doth the New Year hold.
And what hopes within it sleep!
A song for the Old,
While its knell is tolled,
And the friends it gave so true!
But, with hearts of glee
Let us merrily
Welcome the bright, bright New!
For the heights we gained,
For the good attained,
We will not the Old despise;
But a joy more sweet,
Making life complete.
In the golden New Year lies.
A song for the Old,
While its knell is tolled!
With a grander, broader teal,
And a forward view.
Let us greet the New,
Heart and purpose ever leal!
Let the ills we met,
And the sad regret.
With the Old be buried deep;
For what joy untold
Doth the New Year hold,
And what hopes within it sleep!
looking woman in the room—dis-
tinguished, different . . . Once his
glance caught hers and held it for
a moment. They both flushed and
turned hurriedly to their plates.
Some one asked the orchestra to
play "Love’s Old Sweet Song.” As
silence followed the opening of the
familiar melody both of them were
swept by emotion . . . Their love
had been the most wonderful thing
in the world! How had it died so
soon? What had happened? That
was the question taunting both of
them as the song went on.
Looking back they saw a hundred
little things, magnified until they as-
sumed tragic proportions — small
hurts left unhealed, sharp words,
One Glance Caught Hers and HeW
It for a Moment.
silence and misunderstanding.
There had been nothing terribly se-
rious; neither could find any big,
bitter thing accountable for the
wreckage.
Again, Paul looked at Ethel. This
time she made no effort to look
away. Tears shone in her eyes.
Suddenly his hand stole across the
table and found hers. “I love you,
Ethel,” he breathed; “can’t we be-
gin again?—can’t we prove to our-
selves and to the world that ‘Love’s
Old Sweet Song’ is really the sweet-
est song of all?”
For a moment they did not realize
that the orchestra had changed to
a livelier air. Then as they sensed
its swinging rhythm Paul reached
out his arms. In a moment they
were gliding with the happy throng
of dancers, a newer and deeper lov*
throbbing in their hearts.

Resolution That Fails
It is sad but true that never yet
has a New Year’s resolution paid
the Christmas bills.
David’s
NewYear’s
Inspiration
toy/Hide B. F’alm.ey’
T'N AVID had escorted Dorothy
L/ May to the New Year’s grand
ball for the last three years
and they had danced the .old year
out and the New Year in, while
whispering sweet “nothings” into
each other’s ears. But this year
David was possessed with the New
Year’s spirit. He felt a strong de-
sire to make someone else happy.
“What on earth is the matter late-
ly, David, you seem to be so ex-
uberantly happy?” spoke mother, in
. her kindly observant way. “Has
Dot promised to marry you, or are
you contemplating a proposal from
her?”
“Something better than that,
mother. I am planning New Year’s
resolutions,” replied David.
Several days before the great holi-
day, David found himself in a large
department store, buying a new
gown for his mother. He felt rather
out of place in a ladies’ dress sec-
tion, but with the' aid of an under-
standing saleslady, he soon found
just the thing, a golden brown floral
design, his mother’s favorite color.
Then he thought of slippers to match
and a pretty nosegay to pin upon
her dress, and he was quite finished.
He left the store simply bursting
with enthusiasm. Just as he turned
the corner toward home, he ran
into Dorothy. “Why Dot, I’m so glad
to see you.”
“Looks like you have been shop-
ping, Davy.”
“Yes, but I have something im-
portant to ask you, Dot. Would
you mind having your brother Joe
see you to the New Year’s ball? I
have something very important to
attend to first, but I’ll be there
later.”
“Why David Morely, what do you
mean?” said Dot, indignantly. “Are
you really breaking the spell of our
annual rendezvous?” Then,before he
could reply, she continued with pre-
tended indifference. “Very well,
I’ll go with Jean Raft. I know he’ll
take me. I suppose you are driving
Dolly for a ride. Well, you are
welcome to her. Good-by!"
Voices and laughter proclaimed
the approach of another happy New
Year, as David came charging into
the cozy living room where hia
mother was just finishing the homo
paper.
“I have your things laid out,
Davy, your best shirt and favorit*
tie.”
“You are always so thoughtful,
mother, never thinking of yourself,”
Dorothy Spied Them First and
Came Charging Over.
6aid David, as he chuckled, con-
templating the great surprise.
Some hours later David appeared,
quite ready for the evening. He
did really look charming and moth-
er did not hesitate in telling him so.
“I’m off,” he shouted, and then
he was gone.
But it was not long before mother
heard the loud peal of the door bell.
“Who in the world can that be on
New Year’s eve?” thought she, hur-
rying to the door. She stepped
back in surprise as she saw David,
himself, standing there smiling.
“What is it, my boy, have you
forgotten something?”
“No, mother, I am your gallant
knight, come to take you to the New
Year’s ball. The cab, without,
awaits your pleasure, Madam!”
And David laughed merrily. They
both roared with laughter.
“To prove that I really mean it,
mother, go up and look in your
room.”
Although she did not comprehend
what it was all about, she climbed
the stairs with vague misgivings.
But when she beheld the beautiful
outfit her son had selected for her,
she stood still and stared.
The silence was broken by David
shouting impatiently from below:
“Hurry, mother? or we shall be
late for the ball!”
Mother called out, “All right
dear,” as she slipped into the new
finery, truly feeling like a girl again.
As she pinned the flower upon her
dress, she marveled at David’s in-
genuity.
An hour later David and his moth-
er arrived at the New Year’s ball.
Dorothy spied them first and came
charging over, flushed and excited.
“Oh, Davy, can you ever forgive
me?” she sighed, beaming upon
him, adoringly.
David’s reply was drowned out
by the Happy New Year wishes on
all sides of them, but his eyes ex-
pressed the joy of an inspiration
fulfilled.
Pleasure Giving—
Talking to Advantage of Others
and Joy to Ourselves in 1937
'TPALKING is the. recognized
medium of communication be-
tween persons who are together
or who, being absent, use a tele-
phone. It is unfortunate haying
such a. marvelous medium at our
command that we so often fail to
put it to the use worthy of its
value. It is possible to send a
glow of happiness through the lis-
tener when we speak merited
words of appreciation. It is pos-
sible to solace .those in sorrow by
words of comfort spoken from the
heart. It is possible to make joy
doubly gladsome by expressing
our happiness in the good fortune
of others; .Through talking to our
children we can spur them on to
dc fine things, or encourage them
in worthy resolves..In short the
good we can do by talking in
the right spirit is inestimable.
Ey talking in the right Way we
bring good to others and joy to
ourselves.
It,is when we swerve from the'
best use of the spoken word that
we drag it down and harm both
ourselves and our hearers. There
is an expression “too much talk”
which is significant of this very
thing. The words speak for them-
selves, declaring that it would be
advisable to cease saying the
things we are. It is never said
of good words. Of them we could
say: Let us have more talk of the
same sort, it is needed.
Have you ever considered how
much is said when derogatory talk
is going on? Words are spoken
and reiterated over and over
again, as if by repetition the un-
pleasant things would be in-
creased. Unfortunately this is
what happens. Unkind or unfriend-
ly conversation, by some perverse
twist of human nature, is sure
to be repeated, and usually with
embellishments. Either the one
who repeats it cannot believe her
ears, and wonders if anyone else
knows about the unfortunate cir-
cumstances, or else she finds a
strange pleasure in repeating
slander. It may be the derogatory
words are against someone she
dislikes. It may be they are
about a total stranger. If the talk
was commendatory repeating it
would foster fine things. Good
things should be given frequent
repetition.
We all could add so much to the
pleasure and joy of living during
the new year 1937, if we would set
a watch on our talk, ..nd by a
wishful determination . use this
•great means at our command to
help others. It is one of the things
that costs nothing and yet which
can do such an endless amount of
good. It is a way open to all
alike.

Too often the honeymoon ex-

know by outward sign that she is
a victim of periodic pain.
For three generations one woman

helps Nature tone up the system,
thus lessening the discomforts from
the functional disorders which
women must endure in the three
ordeals of life: 1. Turning from
girlhood to womanhood. 2. Pre-
