A happy New Year to all
Here's to a happy holiday
Health and wealth for all the
year (from Virginia Southern to
the readers of her column.)
Father Time has declared th
finis of 1914 and Christmas day
of that year is now recorded
an historical event.
The week has been replete with
homecomings and merry gather
ings around festal boards. Hu
manlty has lived, breathed and
talked the beautiful Christmas
spirit We have given, we hav
received, we hav remembered
those who were less fortunate
than we. We have sent Christ
ma3 ships laden with good cheer
to the lands where the smoke o
battle obscured everything that
might otherwise have been cheer
ful, and where the clash of arms
drowned the sound of Christmas
carols, and now as the New Year
is ushered in, we can bat hope
that the dawn of another year
will find the whole world at
peace.
Today is a time to review one s
mistakes of the past and regis
ter new resolutions for the com
in g New Year.
The pretty custom of keeping
"open house" on New Year's
day, observed so widely among
Southerners, has a pretty signin
canee in the thought that as the
New Year knocks at the door la
den with good cheer for the fu
ture, so it is a fitting time for
friends to also come tapping at
the door, and while there will be
no large ' open house" receptions
today, there will be much visit
ing and formal calling.
"Old year, in your days
There was happiness too.
On our varying waya
Blossomed roses and rue.
There were pleasures and pain,
There were struggles snd strife,
There were both loss and gain
In the round of your life,
But in summing it up
As you slip from our hall
You poured in our cup
Mere of sweet than of gall."
One of the largest and most
elaborate events of the holiday
season will be the formal ball at
the Hotel Multnomah tonight

or to the surroundings. Clusters
of berry-laden mistletoe marked
places for the several hundred
guests and a repast of three
courses was served amid merrv
laughter where the holiday spirit
reigned supreme.
The banquet hall was then con
verted into a ball room, .the ad

with players who did not care to
