Newness fascinates us. In our plea sure, some, of us will wear our new clothes extravagantly, caring not that we arc abusing them,- some of us will • hoard the, waiting for that vory spe- _ cial occasion w'hich we feel sure mil cone sometirao; somo 'of usgwill hang them in closets, being too self-cons cious to wear then or to get the long est and most satisfying use out of them.- Like new clothes a Now Year nay fasci-. n. to us, iu‘'.y be used by us, lYhether wo make New Year’s resolutions* or not, tho Now Year beckons us on. It m .kos us ’Wonder what vre will do. It excites our curiosity a.s to ’what it,will bring us. There are those of us who mil use the year extravagantly in ’seeking pleadure and fun and constant oxcitenont.

All this striving and work is such a bother. Let us be non chalant about Now Years-, But some of us arc eagpr'and waiting 'to .’ do many things. True, we cannot accom plish them all, but just the trying ■will Luike us grov/, 'will make us stronger How aatisfying it would 'be "to . knov; each year of-our lives s-tands fon some real accomplishment. How sad^it is .to. foci that one year of our lives has been wasted.
