Falnt gleams of intelligence, fugitive as a summer zephyr, came to Urn as be sat up in bed, but his efforts to retain and formulate i them Into entities of thought were fu- ■ tile. He remembered having heard i whistles, cannons, firecrackers and tin boras blended In discordant Inhar i monj. whii-r a large gentleman with a flush on hb face like the aurora boreaUs In the Klondllto leaned affectionately over a table and. grasping bb hand, exclaimed with husky effusiveness, "Ha'y Noo Yearsh, of chap!" There were other gentlemen around the table, and all bad (lushes on their faces, but Jones bad never seen them before. The portly gentleman with the beaming countenance, though, must hare" been a pretty Jolly fellow. He would look him ap. "Look him up!" Jones tbonght a moment while both hands pressed tightly against either side of his aching head. "Look him np7 Well. I guess not. This is Npw Teat's This Is the day I've bees looking for.

It was all over In an Instant, and it would take a klnetoscope and a Dick- 1 properly to depict it. Suddenly stopped short with an expression of anticipatory anguish on hb face. As bb overcoat flapped in tbe breeze both hb arms shot upward and hb banda were clapped convutaively on bb Hb bat was soaring through the air That derby of tbe latest block | bounding over bumps in the atmosphere at the rate of a million a I minute, and Jones' balr. overlong. was | fluttering.

"D — r said Jones as he overtook the hat and stamped on It with the force and vigor of an enraged human being. "D— hats! D— old gentlemen! Dpretty girb! D— New Year's resolutions!

"Wha's c'lnaxxer — wh-wberx Thorn as?" demanded a voice as tbe owner of It got nnsteadDy out of the cab on arm of the driver and caromed with a alx Inch balk hae he seemed to steering clear of to the front door.

Women who like to ke^ up to date are carrying cards no larger than those used by men, which are so tiny that baby cards are being printed with men's names. Even conservative women are carrying cards measuring less than two by three inches, so that in the ease of a deep mourning card there is only sufficient space for tbe name. The smallest women's card measures two by two and three-quarters of an inch; the largest and three-quarters inches by two and three-quarters inches, with four sizes coming between. Tbe pasteboard is of only mediuas Ihislrnssi Tbe stiff card is out of data. This year preference is given to the shaded old English lettering and the black and shaded French script, the latter being the vary Is test styled The ais* of the lettering U regulated by the length of the name to be engraved and the sire of the card is regulated by the length of the name.
