rose lato on New Year's
morning with the barost i 0
I Nk suggestion of a headache.
That was the aftermath of j
/l]lv the previous night's cele/-nt/
bration, memorabilia of (
which were scattered all
about the apartment in a
weirdly Incongruous way. Roger's #
coat was still brightly speckled with
red, yellow and blue confetti; there
was a battered tin horn protruding | '
from one pocket, and u particolored
fool's cap made of tissue paper was
set raklshly askew on the bronze bust
of Beethoven on the piano.
In the hazily-recalled grotesquerle
of last night's homecoming, Roger had
denuded himself progressively, be- '
ginning with his shoes at the door, I
his hat and waistcoat beside the I
dresser; trousers and linen at the (
foot of the bed and, last of all. his
scarf tied in a beautifully neat bow "
beneath the nob of the bedpost. 1
Roger sat up regarding all this t
whimsically for some time and won- 1
dering dully how it is that morning
daylight always Imparts such a hag- j
gard aspect to the rosy visions of the ^
night before. He yawned and
stretched prodigiously; then made a ;
bound for the washbowl and 1m- s
mersed his head in gratefully cold and i
refreshing water from the tap.
"Heigh-hO! New Year's morning I
and my fortieth birthday all in one! ,
The good Lord knows that I don't
feel that old, but these periodic 'parties'
sure are beginning to pall upon t
me. If I were to do the conventional 1
thing now. I'd begin the new year by ]
making some amazingly moral resolu- f
tion and then? But, after all, why l
not? I'll make a resolution and not .
break it. either! I'm forty years old i
today and as comfortable a bachelor i
as any I know. Hereby I do solemnly j
avow a placid life of celibacy. No t
wedding bells for me!" I
Roger dressed leisurely, not a little t
pleased with the positive formulation ]
of the idea that really had been in j
the back of his head for months past.
He liked and admired girls, of course <
?what real man doesn't? But it was i
in a d*. ached, impersonal sort of way.
He er.ioyed their chatty conversations j
as mentally restful after weighty busi- \
ness conferences at the office all day i
long; ho liked vivacious femininity
across the table when he dined out
in the evening. But as for actually j
burdening himself with one woman for (
life?as 1'or voluntarily domesticating
himself, eschewing the good fellows at

the club, and as for systematizing his !
| life into a humdrutrf routine?no, no! I
not for Roger Featherstone! <
Ah! there went the telephone bell! <
His sister Madge undoubtedly?Madge <
I who had married Phil Barnes and
taken out of the merry whirl of tilings I
as jolly a chap as ever?
"Hello! hello! Yes, this Is Roger
talking. Oh, I though It might he you,
sis. Why, no-o-o! I've no particular
appointment for tonight. For dinner
at your house? Yes, I'll come, thank
you Eh? You don't say? Hetty
Hurting going to bo there with you,
ioo' Vreil, well, of course I remember
i.er! We used to he sweethearts
back in kid days. When did she got
back m town? Must be four or live
years since we ve met. All right, I'll
be over "
Roger sighed as ho hung up the receiver;
then grinned.
Oup*right, 1015, MeClart N>*r?pnp?r
"Tonight will bo a good time to fell
hem about my New Year's resolulon."
*
The cozy little dinner party was over,
lister Madge and Phil?'-Hub" she
atronizingly called him?were some- here
out in the back of the house,
'hey had left Roger and his old chum
ietty alone tete-a-tete in the dimly
It parlor.
How that girl had grown and "improved"
during these five years that
toger hadn't seen her! Why, she had
eveloped into a positive little peach!
Vhat a sensation she would make at
ne of the club dances!
She hadn't forgotten hbout their old
lays together, either?recalled lots of
ittle childish intimacies that had
lipped even Roger's memory. Why.

ively adorable! Yes, and those
Iquld, mischievous eyes of hers! i
Oeuco take it! what was that elusivo
icent she used? Did it come f'-om that
luffy hair, or the gown, or?
Roger was in the midst of telling
ler about his resolution to eternal
jachelordom. Ho had intended to do
t humorously, epigrammatically. Put
ho warm, physical proximity of the
rirl was an indubitably permeating
;hing?went to one's head?and that '

"So when I got up and remembered
that today is New Year's and my fortieth
birthday, I said to myself?"
"Yes, Roger," i? oh, the subtle,
unused, encouragement of that inflection.
It piqued him strangely.
"I said to myself that?"
"Yes, Roger?"
The man stared at her confusedly
and all at once was accusingly conscious
that, somehow or other, that
BOft, warm little hand of her was nestling
comfortably within his own tremulous
grip.
"You were saying, Roger, that you
told yourself that??"
"That I've been needing you forever
so long, dear," mumbled tho man, red- ,
faced.
And she; "Oh. Roger! What a perfectly
lovely New Year's resolution!")
NEW YEAR'S DAY IN CHINA
Occasion Whsn Whole Cnunlrv la
Painted Red?Time When All
Debts Must Be Settled.
Now Yoar is tho national payday in
China. All accounts must be squared
up at that time, and the man who
can't raise money enough to pay his j
debts has to go into bankruptcy. The J
laws are such that tho creditor can enter
tho debtor's house and take what!
ho pleases if there is no settlement.
To prevent such action families club
together nnd make all sorts of com-;
promises to ke>;p up the business reputation
of the clan. New Year is a
great day for tho pawnbrokers; their
shops are crowded with peoplo who
want to redeem their best clothes beforo
tho New Year. There are crowds,
also, who want to pawn other things I
In order to get money to pay their
debts. Pawnbrokers reeeivo high rates
nf interest, in which they are protect- i
cd by tho government.
Tho Chinese paint the whole country
red. figuratively speaking, on New
Year's day, in more senses than one.
Red is the color which with them denotes
good luck and prosperity, and
all the New Year cards and invitations
are on paper of that color. Every
child gets its New Year's present
wrapped in red paper, and red inscriptions
are pasted over the doors of
the houses. These inscriptions bear
characters praying for good fortune,
wealth and happiness, and they are
posted on each side of the outer door
af the houses. New pictures of Chinese
generals are put on the front
loors and the houses are scoured and
made clean.?Philadelphia Inquirer.

DO NOT NEGLECT TOOLS
Farmer* Suffer Large Losses by Failure
to Care for Implements That
Are Not In Use.
The farmer who puts away his farm
machinery without oiling and cleaning
it is certain to lose in the deterioration
of the machinery many times
what the time to care for it would
have been worth. Failure to take care
of farm machinery is a source of large
loss to the American farmer annually.
Most farmers realize that they
would save money by taking good care
of their machines, but neglect to do
fto pitllpr thrrfclich ml aq u n nu a ap Tr?.
difference. The most important step
toward having efficient machinery is
keeping it in good repair. In spare
time, each machine should be carefully
inspected and all missing, broken
or overworn parts notod. Write the
names and numbers of missing parts
on tags and fasten these tags to the
machine.
All machines should have a general
inspection at least once a year. A
rainy day In late fall is very good'for
this purpose.
Exposure to weather injures both
wooden^ and metal parts of machines
and a machinery shed should by all
means he part of the farm equipment.
Every machine should be cleaned.
oiled, and housed after it has been
used.
Painting aids greatly in improving
the appearance and prolonging the life
of machines. It protects both wood
and metal from the weather. Paint
should bo used freely when needed.
One of the best paints for all farm
implements is made with red lead and
linseed oil.
The use of good farm implements is
increasing rapidly in South Carolina
and farmers owe it to themselves to
he more careful of their tools. In the
year that has gone, they have learned
some important lessons in economy,
hut there is probably no more practical
way in which a farmer can economize
than by taking the proper care
of his farm implements?repairing
them, oiling them, housing them, and
painting them.
