LATHROP LtjD ESOLVED: Tliat I will not Tn. make a single resolution this New Year.” I wrote it care fully in my diary and stared at it. Every year I’d broken every one I made anyway, so I wouldn’t make any. But I hadn’t figured on that big blonde bomber, Tim Wright. “Got your resolutions made out, Diane?” he kidded when we were stowing our stuff in the high- school lockers just before vaca tion. “Not me. I’m not making any this year, and then I won’t be guilty of breaking them,” I told him, pushing back my new Jackie hairdo. “You should resolve to let your hair grow again and not follow these silly bee-hive styles they have nowadays. You had pretty hair.” So there went all the effort I’d made to look up-to-the-minute. I New Year’s Eve I dolled up in my new dress—but the door bell never rang. “Listen Di, I’m going away for the holidays, but could you prom ise to keep the New Year’s dance date open in case I get back?” “Are you crazy?” I sputtered. “What girl is going to give up a bird-in-the-hand for a maybe? Everybody who is anybody will be at that Hi-Fi dance. Do you think I’m going to sit home, just in case?” “Honest, I’ll try to make it—if my folks will come back,” he promised. “And if you’ll wait for me, we’ll be steadies next year.” It was tempting because he was the B.M.O.C. and most of the girls would give their eye-teeth to go steady with him. But I wasn’t going to miss that dance and I told him so. He just said, “I’ll be there, probably,” and gave me the old eye. No Luck So New Year’s Eve there I sat all dolled up in my new taffeta waltz-dress and the doorbell never rang. I could have cried. I finally did. Just that afternoon Willie Tucci had called, desperate for a date, but I’d told him I was sorry —I had one. Now I wondered if I should call him back. That Tim! Go steady with him, indeed! I’d never speak to him again. Only my heart did a flip-flop every time 1 thought of his big broad shoul ders and the way he looked when ae laughed. So then I got out my diary and I wrote, “Resolved: That I will never be taken in by the prom ises of handsome men again. Re solved: That this year I will go with the first—or last—guy that asks me, regardless—just so I go. Resolved: That I’ll cut my hair again and wear it the way 1 want to. No man is going to dic tate to me. And Resolved: That I will never speak to Tim Wrigftt again.” I looked out the front door once more. It had been snowing all afternoon and now it had piled up in drifts. Maybe they were stuck some place. Over went my heart again! Well, I was stuck too! 1 went to the phone and dialed Willie’s number, but no one answered. Desperation Then 1 dialed Tim’s number— a thing I would never do ordinar ily, but I was desperate. Busy signal! So then I added in my diary, “Resolved: That I will never call a man, no matter who or why.” And just then the phone rang. “Who’ve you been talking to?” Tim’s voice grumbled. “I’ve been trying to get you for five min utes.” Five minutes! But I melted— just like the snow on the doorstep where I’d been standing watching for him. I just gasped. “Where are you?” “I’m home, naturally. We just got in. I’ll be right over.” Of course I should have said, “Oh no. you don’t. The dance is half-over I’m going with Willie. I have another date. I’ll never speak to you again. And I’m cut ting my hair.” But did I? I just stood there like a pool of warm butter and murmured. “Fine Hurry up. I’ll be waiting ” And 1 tore the sheets out of my dairy and hustled into my boots. GIFT GIVING Gift-giving and card sending have become a part of our Christ mas observance, whether we like it or not. We should not object, as both can contribute to the spirit of the season. And, in the final analysis, we have only ourselves to blame if we get so involved with the commercial aspects of Christmas that we overlook its spiritual aspects. sp** W®Y® kopimg th&fc y©w Gkristmas KolMay is as woimdWihiil as it caia 0® *=* s© gay amudl sparklinug tkaft ®aclra. day far ©^tsKiiass tK<& Ibiriglhit®st glittering ba'wiM® ©m yow tr®®!
