It was not quite 11, but the New Year's hilarity had already begun. The wine-flushed diners were clinking glasses, singing, whispering and throwing gayly colored confetti. j Over-worked waiters were dodging in and out through the . crowded tables, bringing fresh supplies of champagne, for, according to the notices hung about, after 10:30 no other wine would be served. Warren had begun the evening by declaring it was the rankest Impertinence for any management to presume to dictate to their patrons what they should or should not drink. "Five dollars graft to he head waiter before he'll serve yoa a table," he fumed, "and five dollars a plate 'for your supper God, it's a blamed imposition that you can't drink beer, if you want to." But that had been earlier In the evening. Now he had just ordered a fresh bottle of champagne, seemingly indifferent to the exorbitant bill they had already run up. His face was slightly flushed, and he was garrulously insisting on telling a story to"'' which no one seemed inclined to listen. Mr. and Mrs. Stevens and Mr. and Mrs. Dawson made up their party of six. Helen was seated between Warren and Mr. Dawson, on, whom the wine seemed to have a rather quieting effect, while it made both Warren and Mr. Stevens most loquacious. And now as Warren finished a par

ticularly old story, at which every- j body laughed because they were laughing anayway. Mr. Stevens pounded on tjie table with a vigorous: "Here's one I heard at the club the other day it's a corker." A CURIOUS CUSTOM, But Helen was much less interested in the story than in the gay scene about her. Every one seemed to feel they were licensed to relax and grow hilarious. It is a curious custom that favors the greeting of the New Year with a muddled brain and the prospect of a racking headache the next day. And yet this Broadway restaurant and hundreds of others were crowded to suffocation with people eager to celebrate New Year's eve in iustthis way with lavish expenditure ind a half tipsy revelry. Most of the men wore the fancy paper hats given as favors by the manigement, and as they were all in faultless evening dress, the effect was most grotesque. Some of the women had perched the caps over their elaborately dressed hair, but as a rule they were as yet too self-conscious to risk looking ridiculous. "Do you see that woman over there?" Mrs. Stevens whispered to Helen across the table. "The one in pale yellow? Isn't itv dreadful?" The woman was conspicuously gowned in shimmering- pale yellow satin, cut very low and ablaze with jewels, and she was now busily tying a long white kid glove around the neck of her escort. "No no, the "Order of the Garter," not the "order of the glove," somebody called out, at which there was a fresh burst of laughter. The orchestra was almost drowned in the noise, but now and then the strain of a popular air could be heard. A man at a nearby table was doing a sort of turkey trot with his arms and shoulders, without rising from his chair, and another was clapping time with his hands and feet. "What's the matter? Why haven't I got a cap," demanded Warren, suddenly. "Oh, here's mine. Somebody's knocked it on the floor." "Oh, dear, don't put that on," pleaded Helen, as he held up a blue and gilt paper helmet with a trailing paper plume. "Why not?" adjusting it jauntily. "What's the matter with that?" bending over to get a glimpse of himself in the mirrored wall. "Don't that suit my si vie of beauty?" "It looks so foolish," whispered Helen. "Please don't wear it." "Foolish! How about Stevens? You're not kicking about his. Think he looks all right, don't you?" Mr. Stevens was wearing a pink turban like effect, with long streamers, which was absurdly comical with his bald head and round, florid face. "Oh, Mrs. Curtis thinks I look well in anything. Isn't that it?" beamed Stevens. Helen tried to smile, but above everything else she hated the maudlin, foolish stage which most men reach when they have had much wine. "Say," demanded Mr. Dawson, "where are the horns? Haven't heard one, have you?" "Why, they passed an ordinance WAS MISERABLE COULDN'T STAND Testifies She Was Restored to Health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Lackawanna, N. Y. "After my first child was born I felt very miserable and I could not stand on my feet. My sister-in-law wished me to try Lydia E.

that they weren't to be allowed in any of the restaurants tonight. Didn't you know that?" "I think they make quite enough noise without any horns," commented Mrs. Stevens. "It's really shocking the way they carry on." "Well, we came to be shocked, didn't we?" grinned Warren. "We'd feel we hadn't got out money's worth if it was a decent, orderly crowd.'' i Suddenly a party of four at a table j near the center ot the room began to j sing. They were plainly professionals for their trained voices could be heard even above the uproar. j "Why, the orchestra's' playing with them." murmured Helen. "Of course, they are hired by the management," Mr. Dawson informed i her. "Did you think they were merely j diners?" That's quite a trick nowto put singers at one of the tables as i if they were guests." Soon the after-theatre crowd began i to pour in, and filled up the few ta- j bles that were still reserved. I

Mr. Dawson's knowledge of : actresses seemed extensive. bne s . with four men, isn't she? No, there's another woman with her." j The poping of corks and shrieks of ! laughter grew more frequent. The j waiters no longer served the champagne in buckets of ice, but slammed , the bottles on the tables, with no more i ceremony than if they were serving ; beer. They did not even take time to remove the empty bottles, which were either left on the table or put on the ; floor by the guests. j THE FESTIVE STRANGER. j The head waiter came around now, ' distributing additional souvenirs. A fantastic mechanical toy, in the shape of a turkey gobble with its back filled with candies, and a tail that spread and feet that jerked up when you pulled the ribbon, "The Turkey Trots." Just what bearing this had on the New Year was not clear, but the crowd at this stage was not critical, and the favors were received with shouts off joy. A stout man wearing a pink paper tamashant at a rakish angle now approached their table. "I want to sake hands with every lady in the room," beaming with impartial geniality. "I'm going to wish them all a Happy New Year."' "Sit down and have a drink, it's not New Year's yet," interposed Warren, as the man made an effort to shake hands with Helen. "No. must shake hands with the ladies first." "No, have a drink first,'' insisted Warren, as Helen drew back in em-! harassment.

"Now I want to ask your advice," he began confidentially, again turning to Warren. "It's about a matter of business, and you look like a man of discretion." They all roared at this, except Helen, whose cheeks burned with resentment. "Fire away," laughed Warren, "out with it." "No, hold on, bring another bottle of wine here," he called, as their waiter dashed by. "Oh, Warren, please don't order any more," whispered Helen. But Warren did not trouble to answer. He had drunk enough to be socially inclined, even towards the invading stranger. "Oh, there you are." A tall man shouted to their uninvited guest on the window sill. "Come back, Billy, the girls want you." NO PLACE FOR SENTIMENT. "No," protestingly. "These are nice people. I like them. I'm going to stay." Suddenly from the outside came the sound of bells and whistles. Helen glanced at the big bronze clock over the orchestra. It was just three minutes to twelve. Instinctively every one rose and waved their glasses which seemed the signal for a deafening din of shouts. The next moment the lights were turned off and the place was in darkness while from somewhere a booming gong struck twelve, and the shouts grew louder still. Under cover of darkness, Helen slipped her hand into Warren's and tried to draw his head down, in a mute appeal to kiss her. But he stood unbended. "Oh, dear," she whispered, "say something, something loving. Say that you DO care, and that we're going to be very happy this year." I But here the lights flashed up, and j he drew away impatiently, muttering j something about "no place for sentiment." The New Year had come. In .the midst of the still clamorous uproar Helen stood quite still with the same question throbbing in her heart that had been there the last New Year and the one before that. "What changes would this year bring in their life together? Would it draw them closer or still further apart?"
