"WOMAN'S BIBLE CLASS"

The fall term of the woman's bible class opens next Monday afternoon at three o'clock This is an inter- denominaional bible class conducted by the pastor of the Presbyterian church, every fall and winter until we have gone through the whole bible together. The object or aim of this class is systematic study of the bible by books-the author, the time or circumstance under which the book is written, contemporary bible history, an outline Of each book. the practical bearing of these books upon conduct and life. No book in the bible without it's place and special message. The books of the bible are best understood and most appreciated when read in their historical and chronological connec- tion. Like the stones of great building, each book has its place and mission. and stands in support of the whole structure of Gods revelation of Himself unto us in His word. Gods word is one. The scriptures are unbroken. The goal of the bible student is to arrive at clearer un- derstanding of the whole revelation
 
 knowledge of the wnole hibie as we have it. With its added refinements and culture along the way, this is the goal of the Woman's Bible Class. A personal study of the word of God in order to understand it's refine ments. it's lifting power and comfort in our lives It would seem that in an age like ours no noe could afford l.. l. are many people who read the book now and then, but not many who are studying it with system and devotion. Space forbids to speak of the value of such class as this, both in terms of now and the future years. when perhaps nothing shall be left to some of us but the word of God and prayer No book shall so tell upon your life, upon your home and family, or upon your age. as this one. It is food it is drink, it is inspira- ton. it is the only guide to success ful living for both worlds. It is the one library open to us all every day of our lives. Will we slight or neg lect this for other books? God will see to it that we do not come into the enjoyment of its blessings, Rev. 22:1S-19 The bible is book to be studied. not merely read Jos. 1:7-S; ? Tim 2:15.
 We are now entering upon the third term of this class. Thus far the class has finished the Penta- teuch. the first five books of the bible Last fall we studied the sec ond division of bible literature the twelve historical books. The class begins this fall with the book of Job and continues Gf we have time) through the Prophets to the New Testament. The class will meet twice a month Reading lessons are assigned. followed by class meeting and lecture on same. Nobody will be embarrassed by questions. No doc trinal differences discussed. A pay- erful atmosphere and fine spirit of christian friendship and fellowship. This class is open to all who would like to study with us this winter. Start at the beginning. Start next Monday at 3:30 D. m. hope we will have a good opening and a most en- couraging start.

L. Bond, Superintendent of Public Instruction. In his letter MT. Bond says there is no excuse for con- piaints because the law provided in detail fair and just exchange of old books for new.

Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

THE dainty lingerie gown is
to make a feature of the
Summer and here is one
that is made largely of flouncing
so that it represents the least
little bit of labor, while it gives
a very smart effect. The blouse
is made all with straight edges
and consequently is perfectly
adapted to flouncing. The skirt
IS a simple straight one. The
fiouncing, here, is joined to the
upper part beneath the tuck.
Of course, you can use the
model for materials with plain
edges and trim, and that trim
ming can take the form of em-
broidery or braiding with SOU
tache or of banding or anything
that you like. Georgette crepe
braided with soutache is fashion,
able and exceedingly attractive.
FOR the blouse will be needed,
5$4 yards of fiouncing 22 inches
wide with p yard of plain ma
terial, and for the skirt, 4 Is yards
of plain material SO inches wide
with 2$s yards of embroidery
22 inches wide.
The blouse pattern No. o4o5
is cut in sizes from SO to 40
inches bust measure and the
skirt pattern No. e4II in sizes
from 20 to "a inches waist
measure. They will be. mailed
to any address by the Fashion
Department of this paper, on
receipt of fifteen cents for each.

The Honeymoon House
Bv HAZEL DALE

Life was not always at it's best in
the Honeymoon House: there were
periods of ups and downs with Janet
and Jarvis just as there are with
many other youthful couples. Little
things that went wrong Jared hor-
ribly on the evenness of Janet's days,
and, as was perfectly easy to under
stand, she did not throw them off as
quickly as a less emotional girl would
have done.
Jarvis had had a streak of bad
luck. His work had somehow fallen
fiat, and, recognizing the missing
quality of dash that his things seem
ed to lack, he went from bad to
worse. One day he came in with a
new idea to tell to Janet. Little bills,
trivial enough in themselves, had re-
manned unpaid for week or more,
and because Janet went on apparent
ly without concern and saw to the
things that she had allotted to her.

He flung himself into chair and
waited for Janet to turn from the
typewriter, which he was pretty sure
she would do in a moment or two.
She could feel intuitively when Jar
Wis was out of harmony with her.
self.
"Well, what is it," she queried
finally, when her fingers had been
quiet for a minute or two and Jarvis
had not spoken. Then she turned and
saw the expression on his face and in
minute she had flown to him and
perched on the arm of his chair.
"I feel like a failure" he said
vindictively, almost twisting away
from her.
she spoke quietly.
az do too, sometimes. boy. Since l
have started work I have felt that
way more than ever. The whole
world seems unfair sometimes,
doesn't it?"
Eyes, but after all you're the
woman of the family" Jarvis said
quickly. II ought to make enough
to take care of you properly without
your having to work at all If neces-
sary."
Janet laughed suddenly.
What an old-fashioned idea" she
said mockingly. why, Jarvis More,
that doesn't sound a bit like you.
Something has happened to you. Tell
me what 1t is ?"
"Oh, you know how things have
been going" Jarvis said lmpatiently.
MY work has no pep and / feel at
a standstill. l don't seem to be get
ting anywhere"
But something else has happened,
hasen't it?" Janet insisted; some
thing deflnite?"
Cornered Jarvis turned to her des-
perately.
well. what do think about my
taking a regular job?" he blurted
out.
"A regular job? Why. what do
you mean?''
"A job that brings in regular
weekly pay, and then l could dabble
in my other work on the side. I'm
not setting the world on fire with it
anyway, and I could get a good job
doing commercial work if l tried"
But you'd be giving up your
originality, your SELF" Janet expos
tulated. "Why, Jarvis. you shouldn't
think of such a thing, really you
shouldn't I'd never be happy if /
felt that because of me you thought
you ought to work in an office and
come home dead tired and still find
time to do the work you love-"
Jarvis smiled a little relievedly.

ly, ] do feel all out of sorts. / want
to do big things; things that will
make you proud of me-"
And so do l." said Janet quickly,

Come and sit down here by me,

making room for me on the couch.
Certainly" 1 agreed-"sinc you

There is not" she affirmed. And
l may not have another opportunity

Where are the maids rooms?"
I'm the wing at the end of this

man who is to be Toms tutor, l

Then Grace and l will have the
entire floor in this main part of the

dence of the surprise I felt. Were
they?"
You may think it strange" she
went on, that my sister should
have slept up here while there were
plenty of rooms on the second floor
But it was a notion of hers to be up
here. She liked to be quiet. At first
nay brother planned to have her on
the second floor with himself. But
people passing to and fro in the
lower part of the house disturbed
her and she wanted to move up
here. So Brewster had these two
rooms altered as you see them. One
was for her. and. after her illness
set in, the other was for her nurse"
WAS she so i'll that her nurse
had to stay here all the timer"
asked.
Yes, for a number of months af-
ter Grace's birth, and during that
time the nurse and Grace slept in
what is now the nursery. Later,
whoever took care of the child slept
in there. So you have what was
Grace's mothers room.'

l inquired.
Yes, except that the cretonne
has been renewed and the wall paper
changed since then. Once in a great
while we have put guest in here,
but not often. Grace likes this third
floor very much-just as her mother
did,
Curiosity moved me to ask, Did
Mrs. Norton die in this room?"
1t was hard to associate the
thought of death with this light,
airy chamber with its dainty hang

There was a long sill ence. When
Mrs. Gore broke it her voice was
constrained.
NO, my sister did not die here.
