Tlie Only Thing That Counts
A Mystery Romance of Modern Bohemia
By the Famous Novelet
Carolyn Beecher
(Copyright, 1920.)
CHAPTER XXI
ADELE had gone to Ydnkers.
Mrs. Cook helped Helen to
dress for Sloane's studio
party.
‘•You look beautiful, Miss West
field! You ought to wear them kind
of clothes all the time.”
“I think so, too, Mrs. Cook. Isn’t
it a shame that when a woman knows
she looks her best in evening clothes
she should be compelled to w’ear
tailor suits and house gownS that are
practical rather than beautiful?”
“If Mr. Lansing saw you now he
would tell you how lovely you are.
He’s a fine man!” There was a hint
of longing for confidences in the jan
itress' tone.
Helen blushed. Kirk Lansing had
asked her to spend that evening with
him. She had refused, pleading a
previous engagement, but saying
nothing to him about where she was
going. Almost she had been tempted
to break it—to tell Lansing she
would prefer to spend her time with
him. But —no! She would not en
courage him unduly. He was too
good a f- 'ifnd. She didn’t want him
for a lover—or did she?
But she was excited over what the
evening promised, so with a, shrug
dismissed both Mrs. Cook and
thoughts of Lansing.
It was just 7:30 when she arrived
at Sloane’s studio. She remembered
the time always, because just as
Sloane opened the door to admit her
the grandfather’s clock in the corner
of the dim.j "'ghted studio chimed
out the hour. i
His welcome was neither cool nor
too effusive. He put just the right
amount of warmth in his tones to
show her she was very welcome, not
enough to put her on her guard.
“I am early?” she said, looking
about. “The others have not ar
rived?”
“No, but they will be along pres
ently: at least, the Wheelers will.
Mrs. Pond telephoned she was ill, so,
of course, we can’t expect them.”
Helen scarcely listened to his ex
planation. She had expected origi
nality in the fitting up of his man’s
studio, and she was not disappointed.
Never had she seen a more unusual,
more exotic place, she thought* as she
gave her wraps to the Japanese serv
ant—the soft Chinese rugs, the won
derful if slightly bizarre draperies, the
lighting effects, all arranged so that
they palpably appealed to the senses.
Helen never was able to put into
words that feeling that the studio
aroused—was meant to arouse. But
she felt it from the moment the door
closed upon her and Sloane.
But—the Wheelers would be there
any minute and the light-footed, in
scrutable faced Japanese was in the
room. Surely she had no cause for
OUR HOUSEHOLD
CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE O.THOMAS
Christmas Memorial
Everybody is busy just now think
ing of, if not actually preparing for,
the blessed season that should bring
out the best in all dispositions. It
is hard not to be able to give just
the things we woula like to bestow
on our friends, but if you could go
with me, even in imagination to that
land across the Pacific, and see the
meager stores that the missionaries
are working with you would become
reconciled to do the best you can
with what you have here. The high
cost of living has struck the world,
and this wonderful lahd that we live
iri is called by the Japanese the “rice
country,” for enough rice, to those
people means almost the same as
“millionaire” does to us.
You remember that I spent six
Christmas seasons over there, and
I hear from there right often even
jet.
The kindergarten children always
have a tree filled with presents that
they made for their parents, and they
are the happiest lot of youngsters
you would want to see. They are
taught that it is more blessed to
give than to receive, a new lesson
for those people.
The Sunday school board allowed
us 3 cents for every child that at
tended Sunday school, and we had to
do some “tall planning” to get the
things that suited the different ages
with the cash on hand, and you know
that- our own funds did not allow
us to have much to add to any fund.
I remember one Christmas that the
three ladies in the girls’ school
wanted to have all the other Amer
icans in that city to eat dinner with
us. It meant curtailing our other
expenses, and no presents for our
guests. I bought a little toy tree
not more than 5 inches high; you
sometimes see them over here in
Japanese stores. Mine cost v 5 cents.
Then I bought horns and dolls and
dishes. I wrote a comic verse for
each present. They were as small
as the tree, the horns about an inch
long and nothing even three inches
long. Each rhyme was supposed to
fit the one receiving the present. One
dollar more than paid for everything
but we had many a hearty laugh
over that tree. It was a surprise
to very one and of course that added
to the mirth.
Several times I wrote to America
and got all the left-over illustrated
lesson cards the Atlanta Sunday
schools had not used, and many a
child sent me her lesson cards, and
I got a Japanese Christian to put the
golden text that was printed in Eng
lish into the Japanese language and
gave them to the friends of the chil
dren, the ones that came to our
Christmas trees. Such souvenirs
were as much appreciated as their
pictures are over here.
In the school that the Methodist
church has in Hiroshima, Japan,
there were then three organs, baby
organs they were called, and they
were so small that a man could put
one on his shoulder and take it any
where just as a sack of flour is
handled here. One of them was used
in the free kindergarten all the week
and then it was used at the chapels
Sunday afternoons and night. We
missionaries used to take the Chris
tian Japanese girls that were in the
school and scatter out to the rented
rooms every chance that we had and
teach classes. Then when Christmas
came we had some sort of exercises
at each place and taught the multi
tude, for you never saw, even at a
circus, the crowds that can gather
in one of those cities on the slightest
provocation. These rented rooms
were usually in a house occupied by
a native Christian, and it was always
a great pleasure to them to help with
the exercises. I remember that one
year the man said that his family
would like to furnish the decora
tions. We turned over to them 50
cents to buy material for that pur
pose, and when we walked in I was
astonished. The ceiling of the room
was made to represent an arbor, and
the most luscious looking grapes
hung among the leaves. At one side
a vine was simulated and I felt as
if 1 were really under an arbor. We
had recitations, a talk by the Japa
nese helper, a number of songs, all
in the Japanese language, and then
the distribution of the gifts to the
children that attended that Sunday
school. There is where some of the
cards from our American Sunday
school children went, as souvenirs to
the visitors.
I did not see a turkey while I was
ever there, the missionaries usually
had a roast or a nice fat hen, and
sometimes our friends in the United
States sent us a fruit cake. Once
I had a six-pound cake sent to me,
and on the way across it was packed
uneasiness—yet she w r as uneasy. An
indefinable feeling possessed her; a
wish floated across her mind that
she had accepted Lansing’s invita
tion.
Lansing was so wholesome. There
was nothing exotic either about him
or his surroundings. In spite of the
beauty of the studio. Helen felt stifled
—as if something prevented her
breathing naturally. She looked
longingly at the door, hoping the oth
er guests would soon arrive, while
Clifford Sloane entertained her by
telling her the story of one of his
Ming vase%
He had found.it in an opium den in
San Francisco. Had he been watching
Helen instead of looking at the vase
with the adoration a connoisseur
feels when he beholds such a piece
of pottery, he might have been puz
zled by the startled look that leaped
into her eyes—by its instant sup
pression.
“We were slumming,” he went on
fondling the vase, “in an. opium den
far underground—this was before the
earthquake. We found a Chinaman,
one who had lived in the family of
the Standfords, the founders of the
university. He was rather garrulous
for a Chink and we let him talk. I
had spotted this vase the moment 1
entered the room. I determined to
have it. So I listened to his tale
of his service with them and then
I looked at the vase. I made him an
offer. He latighed at me, his long
pipe between his blackened teeth. I
raised the price, and still he laughed.
Finally I succeeded. When I left 1
carried the vase with me. It is price
less. Are you an admirer of such
things?”
“I admire, yes. But I know really
nothing of antiques. Nothing of pot
tery. It must be an interesting
study. Your friends are late.” The
big clock, had chimed eight while she
was speaking.
“We will wait ten minutes longer,
then I will telephone. I hope noth
ing happened them on the way.
Traffic is so congested now that one
always wonders if an accident has
happened. Wheeler is not a very
expert driver and he insists upon
driving his own car.”
Helen made no reply, but kept her
eyes fastened upon the clock. She
was annoyed with herself because
of her feeling of insecurity, but she
could not overcome it. It was silly,
yet—the ten minutes were up.
“Do telephone!” she said abruptly
"How dreadful It would be if any
thing should have happened them."
Sloane went to the telephone in the
further end of the large room. Indis
tinctly Helen heard his voice at first.
Then more clearly as he said:
“I am so distressed! Yes, I will
give her you’’ message."
(TO BE CONTINUED.)
in a box with some other things for
the school. The woolen goods had
moth balls in them and my cake was
ruined. You can’t imagine how dis
appointed all of us were, for we had
counted on that fruit cake. We tried
faithfully to get the taste, or the
odor out of it, but it was there to
stay. Think of going for years with
out a taste of your favorite “goody,”
and then receiving one you could not
enjoy!
But when one Is interested in any
work there are generally compensa
tions far ahead of the losses, and so
it was that time. We could go out
in the city and find the real pleasure
that is meant when the Master -said,
“Inasmuch as you did gaod unto the
least of these ye were giving unto
Me.”-
What better epitaph can one want
to mark one’s last resting place, or
for a motto in this life, than these
lines. And this is the life of the
average worker in foreign mission
fields;
“Not stirring words, nor gallant
deeds alone,
Plain, patient work, fulfilled tlr<*
length of life;
Duty, not glory, service, not a throne,
Inspired his effort, set for him the
strife.”
Now, in the language of Tiny Tim:
“God bless everybody.”

Sick Room Hint
When a patient’s mouth becomes
dry and parched during the night, a
piece of orange held in the mouth
from time to time will quench thirst.
The orange should be cut into small
pieces and put within easy reach of
the invalid. It will be easier to han
dle than a glass of water and is more
refreshing.
For Aching Feet
An equal mixture of talcum pow
der and baking soda' will relieve tired
and aching feet. The feet should be
rubbed with it. Even shaking the
powder into the shoe will afford re
lief.

as Washara, beautiful; Minoaki,
MARY MEREDITH'S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
Here comes a lonely girlie for ad
vice. I am eighteen years of age.
Am I too young to spend all of my
time with a man the age of fifty-sev
en? He is a darling to me. He has
been married and has great-grand
children. He wants to buy me a nice
Christmas present. Do you think
there would be any harm in letting
him buy me nice presents? I don’t
say I am in love with him. I don’t
go car riding with him any at all,
and he owns a fine car, and has
plenty. And if I want to be a good
friend to him and he to me, do you
think there would be any harm done?
He lives close to me; I see him ev
ery day. So give me your best ad
vice as to what to do. I will thank
you a thousand times.
Is there any harm in a boy and girl
sitting out in a car in front of their
home in the afternoon? Is there any
harm in going to the door with a
man when leaving your home in the
afternoon? Is there any harm in
boys coming and carrying sister and
I out to the movies at night. If not,
is 11 or 12 o’clock too late to stay
out? Do you think there is any
harm in round dancing with the
men? I don’t think it looks so nice,
but if you say there isn’t any harm
I will take your advice. Do you
think there will be any harm in me
getting a job of work about twelve
miles from home in the city?
BROWN-EYED TULIP.
Do you think this man fifty
—seven years old could possibly
mean anything but harm to you,
a girl of eighteen, when he offers
you expensive presents? I
don’t. And if you have any
sense you will not listen to him
at all. If you do, you will live
to regret it. And you know per
fectly well you are not liking
him for any reason except what
you can get out of him at the
expense of your girlhood and
fair reputation. Staying out un
til midnight is not wise. The
movies are all right, but one
doesn’t have to spend the night
in them. There are shows at an
early hour to be seen. It is all
right to accompany your guests
to the door, whether men or
women. There isn’t any harm
in round dancing. Unless harm
is meant. I do not see any harm
in sitting in a car in front of
one’s house in the afternoon. But
why not sit on the porch or in
the house? You are old enough
to know right from wrong, and if
you have to work in a city twelve
miles from your home, you can
conduct, yourself as a lady
should. You should know how
to act.
I am coming for some advice to
you. I am not crazy about the
boys, but there is one boy I often
see at church on Sundays whom I
admire. He smiles at me every time
he sees me. What would be proper
to say to him? If a boy wants
to take me home from church I do
not care for, what must I tell him?
When a boy wants to wear my ring,
and I do not wish him to have it,
what should I say to him? I rm
sixteen and very small for my age,
people are always reminding me of
it. What must I tell them.
Thank you,
R. L.
Get some one who knows this
boy whom you admire to intro
duce you tn him. Do not carry
on a cheap flirtat'on with him
It isn’t nice. Just tell the young
man you are going with some
one else, avoind him as much as
possible, he will then see you do
not care for his attentions. Tell
the boy you do not wish to
lend your ring to any one. It
is just as well to let him know
it at once. Pay no attention to
what people say in regard to
your smallness. It is something
you cannot help.
As you are giving others such ■
good advice, I feel that it is to you ■
I must carry my sorrows. I have,
been going with a boy the past three
years, and was led to love and be
lieve in him, by which now seems
to have been false words. He seem
ed to love and be true to me unti’
this past fwo months. He said he
loved me as he could no other, but
he has ceased coming to see me. We
were engaged to be married soon, and
now I hear that he is to very soon
marry another girl, which I think
shall crush my heart. I know that
I can never again love any man as I
have loved him, and without him my
future happiness will be in vain. Do
you think he no longer cares for me”
What can I do, and how shall I?
Any advice will be greatly appre
ciated.
BROKEN HEART;
It is a hard blow to your
pride, no doubt, but stop and
think how much better if you
are to have escaped him than if
you were to marry him. For if
he is false to you now, it stands I
to reason he would have kept j
up his trickery and lies after
marriage. I know you are suf
fering, but the wound will heal
in time, and some other man j
will come along who will make
your life happier, and whom j
you will love and respect. So
back up, and carry on.

Type of Louis XVI Table

The style of Louis XVI which was
in vogue during the last half of the
eighteenth century was worked out
along classic lines. The beauty of
it lies in the delicate outlines, the
purity of the ornament and the
straight, classic lines.
The table illustrated shows the
slender tapering leg, with the fluting
which is another feature of this stlye

QOON you will put the calendars of a new year up on
Z / O your walls. You have weathered the labors of the past
p ; four seasons—with what benefits and damages you recall
’ full well. Now the cycle of a new year looms ahead, and we
must prepare to gather the fruits of 1921.
It is a time when conservative manufacturing enterprises
and business houses are reviewing the past, taking stock of
resources, and building future campaigns. Leaks are
■ stopped, needs are reckoned with, and plans are made with
extreme care.
Winter is the best time in most sections for complete
farm inventory, for overhauling machines and making
repairs, for accurate reckoning of profit and loss, for plan
ning crop changes, for discarding old habits and considering
new methods.
Every farmer knows this. It is good to see that there is
I 4 more definite planning of full year’s work at the
I? C^obc ever y December, on the farms of America. It is so
easy a matter t 0 ®lide through the comparative resting
r period of Winter, and then Spring with its hundred duties
bursts forth and finds many important matters and details
jpy -A unattended to.
We are glad to note th* B tren< -* toward business-farming
because we hope to be allied with Agriculture many more
years and because our interests are so closely mingled with
I 1116 interests of the farming world. So then, while we are
setting our own house in order for 19 21, we pause to publish
T the hope that you. the reader, may set forth into a new year
M of farming enterprise with all plans laid for a most profitable
twelve-month.

SABBATH
SCHOOL LESSON
For December 19—Matt. 14
DR. MARION M’H. HULL
Golden Text: .“You have no need
to send them away. Give ye them
to eat.” Matt. 14.
The disciples had just returned
from their mission on which their
Master had sent them, and had been
so successful in arresting the at
tention of the people, that news had
reached the palace itself. When
Herod heard of the wonderful things
that were being done, he was alarm
ed. There was but one explanation
to him, for his conscience was mak
ing a coward of him; —it must be
that John Baptist, whom he had be
headed, was raised from the dead.
He had caused that foul crime in a
drunken revel, and it had never
ceased to trouble him.
While the disciples were on their
successful mission, Jesus had gone
to Nazareth, and, as we learned last
week, He could do no mighty works
there because of their unbelief.
Driven thus from His home by the
unbelief of His fellowtownsmen,
and brought into dangerous promi
nence by the success of His disci
ples, He needed to get apart with
them into a desert place and rest
awhile, and for prudential reasons
to withdraw from the territory of
Herod, who might try to use violent
means against Him because of his
mistaken • idea as to His identity.
Thus He is rejected further, and
has to leave the country of His boy
hood and active ministry.
But there is to be no rest for the
Son of man. While He and His dis
ciples cross over to the eastern
shore of the lake where the country
is not so thickly populated, the mul
titudes are going by land around the
northern end of the lake and reach
ing their almost as soon as He does.
It was just before the passover, and
vast numbers of people were on
their way to the feast; therefore an
immense crowd had gathered on the
hillside near Bethsaida Julias. When
He heard they were there He came
out to them from His retirement,
and moved with compassion for
them, healed all that were sick.
15,000 Fed
The event which now occurred is
the only one of the miracles record
ed by all four evangelists; the rea
son for which we shall discover.
Each giveg some detail not given by
the other so we shall use them all
in our study of it. Early in the
afternoon Jesus asked Philip where
they would get enough to feed this
great Vnultitude, which was found
to consist of 5,000 men beside wom
en and children, which brought the
total to’at least 15,0 JO. Jesus knew
what He was going to do, but He
asked this to test Philip. When he
had first met Jesus, Philip had told
Nathaniel that he had found the
one of whom Moses and the prophets
had spoken—a prophet like unto
Moses (Deut. 18:18), and one who
should be greater than any other
prophet. Moses had provided man
na for the people’s needs. He want
ed to see whether Philip really be
lieved what he had told Nathaniel,
whether he believed He could do
what Moses had done. But Philip
couldn’t stand the test. He was a
dull witted fellow, slow of compre
hension. Moses gave the people
manna, bread from heaven, reveal
ing the Father’s providing care.
Jesus had come to reveal the Fa
ther, but Philip hadn’t seen Him yet.
So Philip goes off and talks it over
with the. other disciples, and they
are in just as bad a fix. They cal
culated the amount necessary to feed
the crowd; they are quite sure there
is not enough in all the nearby
villages; and besides, they haven’t
enough money in their possession to
buy the quantity if it was to be
had. So later on in the , afternoon
they came to Jesus and ask Him to
send the crowds away that they may
go and buy bread for themselves.
His reply is: “Ye have no need to
send them away. Give ye them to
eat.’ The ncomes out the result of
their conference.
However, Andrew, always thought
ful, conservative and resourceful,
has been thinking the matter over.
He has found a lad with a lunch—
five Uneeda biscuits and two sardines.
Not much for one boy, thinks An
drew; maybe Jesus can do some
thing with it, however; so he ventures
to suggest it, but expresses his doubt
that it can amount to anything.
Jesus instructed the disciples to
seat the multitudes in companies of
one hundred and of fifty each on the
grassy slope of the hillside. It must
have taken "nerve”-—that’s the mod
ern way of spelling “faith”—to have
the crowd sit down that way. Then
Jesus lifted up His eyes to heaven
and gave thanks—no, He did not ask
for anything; just gave thanks for
what he had in hand, and blessed it.
Then He distributed to the disciples
and they to the multitude. As each
took what he needed and passed it
on, each found an abundance. When
all were filled, at Jesus’ instruction,
CHRISTMAS
Is Coming!
. Here Are Some Tri-Weekly
Journal Suggestions for Mak
ing Simple, Inexpensive Gifts
at Home.
Fashion’s Decree Regarding Veils
The new net veils are very large,
large enough to swathe the hat and
hang down the back. They are coarse
and open. The smartest are the
square mesh filet or octagon shaped
fish-net veils with a border of chif
fon. The favorite colors are brown
and taupe.
Startling Colors
Startling colors appear to be the
most distinctive note in dress trim
mings this season. Elaborate em
brodery designs of Oriental inspira
tion, with tinsel thread worked in
with rich colors, are most popular.
Pape? Ribbons
A new fad introduced in the east
recently was that started by high
school girls who began wearing pa
per hair ribbons. They adopted pa
per, in protest against the high price
of silk ribbons.
White Vaseline
When vaseline must be used, the
suggestion has been made by a train
ed nurse to use white vaseline instead
of the ordinary yellow vaseline. This
may be bought either in tubes or
jars, and will not stain towels and
bed linen.
Decorated Boxes
Decorated boxes can be put to va
rious uses. Take tin boxes of various
shapes and enamel inside and out.
Cut out colored paper decorations or
use cretonne and glue it on the box.
If paper is used the boxes should
be varnished.
they gathered up the fragments—not
the scraps that the people left, but
the unused portion that Jesus had
provided—and there were twelve bas
kets full, one for each of the disci
ples for his next day’s meals.
The effect on the men was to make
them say, “This is of a truth that
prophet that should come into the
world,” and they proceeded to try to
make Him king then and there.
It was the greatest sign He had
ever given them. He had demon
strated that like Moses He could
provide for His people in the wil
derness, and that like Elijah, He
4?ould give an unending supply out of
little, so long as there was need. He
had shown them the Father, and that
He was not only from God, but that
He Himself was God.
Alone?
The desire on the part of the peo
ple to make Jesus king at that time
was no doubt shared by the disciples,
so Jesus constrained them to get
into the ship and cross to the other
side, while He went up into the moun
tain alone to pray. The temptation
to Him was so great that He had to
get apart with His Father again to
pray.
The disciples had a rough trip, for
one of those sudden storms came up
which made rowing difficult. Not a
moment did He lose sight of them,
however, for when the fourth watch
had come and they had not gone
more than six miles—about half the
distance—they were about all in, so
He came to their aid, walking on the
water. He made as though he would
go by, for He wanted them to call
to Him for aid. They thought they
saw a ghost, and were afraid—poor
fellows, I don’t blame them, for they
were nearly worn out, and could not
think! But Jesus calmed their fears
by telling them who He was.
Peter, as usual, said, “If it be Thou,
bid me come to Thee.” He did not
doubt it; he just wanted to show
the others that he believed it. It
was the same spirit in them that
made him say later, “though all oth
ers forsake Thee, yet will I not for
sake Thee.” It was self-confidence.
Jesus did not invite Peter to come;
He simply permitted it. “Alright,
come, if you want to.” And Peter
came, as long as he kept his eyes
on Jesus. Then thinking of his sur
roundings he began to sink. Jesus
caught him, and with him got into
the boat—and the balance of the way
was easy rowing. It always is when
Jesus is along. What a wonderful
Savior He is! Ready at all times to
meet every need of ours, giving abun
dantly, watching constantly, and com
ing to our assistance at the very
moment we need Him. “O thou of
little faith, wherefore dost thou
doubt?” Just take Him at His word.
Listen: “Whatsoever ye shall ask
in My name, that will I do.” John 14:
13-14. Draw a line under the “I” in
your Bible, and then leave it to Him
to work and do what you need and
what you can not do yourself.
