TO MAIZIE GORDON there ha*
always been something so satisfying
about a I'fytw Year. The old year
was gone an^ nothing could be done
about it; but a new one meant new
beginnings, fresh opportunities, new
hope and courage to put into living.
She and Donald had had only one
year dThappy married life, then his
firm had failed, and persistent effort
had, so far, failed to bring him an
other job. Still Maizie kept her faith.
“Something’s bound to come
soon,” she mused as she went about
her morning tasks, “The New Year
is almost here—”
“Hello, darling,”’ called Donald
from the doorway.” Greet an un
crowned king—a working man. Once
more we eat.”
“I bow t6 your majesty,” laughed
Maizie. “Shall I offer a kiss or
kneel at your feet?”
“1 prefer the kiss; this is a de
mocracy,” grinned Donald.
“Sit here and tell me all about it.
I knew something good was near.
Another one of my hunches. Re
member it was at a New Year’s
party we first met, and we were
married on another New Year’s day

way to us.”
“If that’s the way it works, keep
right on with your hunches, dear.
Maybe that little house you’ve been
wanting will just throw open its
doors some day and invite us to
take possession. How do you get
these hunches you talk about?”
“Just believe hard enough and
you’ll get what you want,” giggled
Maizie. I’m concentrating on that
house right now.”
Winter and spring passed. Don
ald’s work was going fine. “It’s not
such a hot job,” he confided to Maiz- 1
ie, “but one can’t be choosy these
days; but the company’s a going
concern and there’s always a chance
of advancement. Gosh, it’s hot irN
here.” They were, at dinner, and
Maizie had turned on the electric
fan. “You look all washed out girl,
this is too hard on you. Better run
down to your mother’s till this hot
weather is over.”
“Desert the ship? Never,” quoted
Maizie. “I’m all right. You’re go
ing to get that raise in salary and
then we’ll look for a >house.”
“What!” retorted Donald, “anoth
er hunch? Don’t we have to wait
till the New Year?”
“It’s more than a hunch this time,
Donald, and we’ll wait till the New
Year,” replied Maizie soberly.
It seemed to Donald, sitting in
the chair at the end of the long
corridor that the night would never
end. Nurses slipped in and out qf
Maizie’s room stopping occasional
ly to say: “Your wife is doing fine,
Mr. Gordon,” but always closing
the door behind them with that air
nL finality that meant: “You are
not to come in,” when he wanted
nothing so much but to be with
Maizie. When he tried to question
the doctors they were noncommit
tal. Twice he had gone out in the
frosty air to walk, but he couldn’t
stay away. Then with the gray
dawn a smiling nurse led him to
Maizie’s bedside.
She smiled bravely at him, and
gave him a reassuring kiss. “Poor
boy, it’s been hard for you, too.
Now take a look at your son.” She
turned back the blanket and re
vealed a downy pink head snuggled
close to her breast. “Do you know
what day this is, Donald?”
Donald stared reverently at his
son. “No,” he said, “I’m still too
dazed to think. It seems years since
last night.” Maizie smiled.
“It’s New Year’s day, and Lady
Luck is with us. We’re a proud fam
ily.”
“And I’m closing the deal for the
house tomorrow,” Donald added.
