TRI Wlsl.UA' JOURNAL.- The Tri-Weekly Journal 9 * Own Serial 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.” The Tri-Weekly Journal’s Fashion Suggestions Billy Possum.

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. goodland, Naklsit, easily seen; Wa kama, a bargain. 5. Q. —How many Americans re ceived the Croix de Guerre? A. —The war department says that there have been between 10,000 and 11,000 Croix de Guerre medals awarded to American soidiers and about 75 Distinguished Service or ders.

A. —Goucher college, Baltimore, Md„ has received the sum of $25,- 000 for the establishment of the Elizabeth King Ellicott fellowship for the political education of wom en, thus becoming the first women’s college to provide definitely for the enlightenment of women voters. 7. Q. —If a man nominated for the presidency died on November Ist., how would a successor be named? A. —Republican headquarters says that in event a presidential nominee should die before election day, the national committee of his party would appoint a nominee in his place.

Q. —How can one acquire a Rhodes scholarship and just what Is it worth? A. —A Rhodes scholarship has a value of 3)0 pounds a year and is tenable for three years, subject to the continued approval of the col lege at Oxford, of which the scholar is a member.

To be eligible, a candidate must be a citizen of the United States with at least five years domicile, unmarried, between the ages of 19 and 25, and must have completed at least his sopho more year at some recognized de gree-granting university or college of the United States. 9. Q. —A man in a lecture used the expression .“where the whang doodle crieth for his first born.” Where can this phrase be found, and what is a whangdoodle? A.—The whangdoodle is a fictiti ous animal, whose characteristics have never been adequately describ ed. The line reads: “Where the lion roareth and the whangdoodle mourneth for its first born," and is from a recitation, “The Harp of a Thousand Strings,” published an onymously, but attributed to W. T. Brannan. 10. Q. —What is meant by the term "Mississippi Bubble?” A.—“ The Mississippi Bubble” was a banking and commercial scheme projected in France at the beginning of Louis XV by a Scottish financier named John Law. It resulte ind the panic of 1720. FACTS ABOUT FURNITURE Type of Louis XVI Table J™ J 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 of furniture. Mahogany, amboyna wood and tulip and rosewood were used sot tables. —l / 1 Over Anomer Threshold WT 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. z International Harvester Company OF AMERICA Chicago (iNcoßromvnDi USA THURSDAY, DECEMBFIR 16, 1920. 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.
