them. Adele flew to answer it,

How recklessly pretty she is"
Lansing said to Helen in an aside. as
She is pretty, but far from the
reckless creature she seems" Helen
replied. "Tne has some of the quaint
est ideas. Her philosophy of life is
a little mixed, but she runs straight
always. She couldn't help it because
she is good"
Lansing smiled at Helen's earnest
ness. Her simple frock revealed I'M
grudgingly the beauty of her throat
and glimpse of delicate white skin
where it vas cut square in the front.
He leaned toward her, took her two
hands in his, and held them with
firm grip.
Slowly she drew them away. No
blush mantled her cheek. It was as
II she were accustomed to his hold
ing her hands. He couldn't help Won
dering a bit. There was nothing for
ward, nothing at all common in
Helen, or in her manner. 1t was more
as if she had erected a fence about
herself, her emotions. That it had
cost her a certain amount to so shield
herself, he could not, of course, know.
But that she was coldly unresponsive

Once Lansing had said to Helen:
mo pure-minded girl should ever
ask to know what happened before
she came upon the scene" They had
been discussing story in a popular
wrong, the thing he has to do is to
keep still about it. 1t is the woman's
secret, isn't it? If he is a man he
never Will reveal it to any one, never

He had been surprised at the look
in Helen'S face; something like re-
lief from a strain-as if a promise
had been given that meant much to
her. The look was gone in a moment,
but the memory Of it remained
She was always surprising him by
some mood. But her growing in
timacy with Adele gave him slight
opportunity of seeing her alone. AS
he felt her firm withdrawal Of her
hands, noted the calm, undisturbed
expression, he thought: "a woman OF
ice! Yes--her eyes belle her"

his tea, and Adele chartered unceas-

Christmas Plans

There have been some of the
sure. There should be a box or
trunk or drawer, not used daily,
that could be used for the scraps to
use in Christmas presents or for
the finished products. We knew
last January that in twelve months
we would be once more in the rush
of Christmas, and then was the
time to mentally store away the
idea that each month would see
something prepared for the day we
celebrate.
/ heard a woman say that she
had seventeen presents ready for
the young people. She has not de-
cided just how these seventeen will
be distributed. Six are pretty hand
kerchiefs she has made. Not one
is elaborate, just an edge of crochet
Or tatting or little medallion in a
but the things she gives count for
something. Two of her presents
will be magazines-that is her most
expensive present, but family will
enjoy each subscription. The Tri-
Weekly goes to one, and that's a
good suggestion for all of U.S.
Money wasted, there is no lasting
value, but subscription puts some
thing permanently good into the
home.
1 know family that can be
counted on for dainty needle-work
The little girls sent their presents
for the very earliest years made by
their, own little fingers. At first
they overcast the edges of white
cloth or chamois and took pride in
the work. The gift that is made

Pointers on Feeding
Poultry Are Given

Feed according to the appetite of
your poultry, says the department
Of agriculture; no definite rule can
be given. Feed scantily of grain in
the morning and give all the grain
they will eat in the afternoon in
time to find 1t before dark. There
should be no grain in the litter at
noon; when found, it indicates feed
ing too much in the morning.
In general, feed by weight 2-3
parts of grain to 2 parts Of mash
When the birds are laying heavily
they should consume a larger amount
of mash.
A green range of alfalfa, clover or
grass furnishes the ideal condition
When these are not available it is
necessary to give the birds some kind
of succulent food. Mangel beets, cab
bage, sprouted oats or green clover
are usually considered the best green
feeds. If these are not obtainable
apples and potatoes make a valuable
addition to the ration. Feed at noon
in such amounts as the birds will
clean up before night.
Hard, sharp grit is necessary for
grinding feed; oyster shell to supply
lime for egg shells. Neither will re-
place the other

ture have been more universally mis-
understood and misinterpreted than
the next two parallels, unless the
next two--the treasure and the pearl
Claim that distinction. We shall
see about them next week. The mus
tard seed, the smallest of all seed,
is seen to grow until it becomes a
tree so large that the birds of the
air roost in it's branches. The wom-
an takes three measures of meal and
hides hides; a bit of leavea in it until the
whole is leaVened. We are told that
these represent the external and in
ternal growth of the Kingdom-the
mustard seed representing the small
and insignificant beginning of the
church until it is spreading and shall
leaven representing the gospel that
gradually pervades the whole world.
How thoroughly wrong both these
interpretations are can be readily
seen from a careful study of the
scripture. They are wholly at vari-
ance with the context. Matthew has
shown how the opposition to the
King has grown so that He has to
adopt a new form of teaching that
the Kingdom is to be in the world
that lieth in the wicked one, that
the preaching of the world Of the
Kingdom is to be only partially sue
cessful, the devil, the flesh and the
world making much of it ineffective;
and that evil is to grow along with
the good until the the time of the
harvest. How can the next two par
ables be interpreted then to teach
exactly the opposite of that? No,
they do not. The mustard is a. gar
den herb: and here we have a garden
herb showing abnormal growth and
becoming tree-something abnor-
NAL for it-and a tree SO large that
the birds Of the air lodge. in it's
branches. Remember also that Je-
sus Himself in the first parable said
the birds Of the air were the evil
one. What then does this parable of
the Kingdom mean? 1t is nothing
less than Christendom-that peculiar
admixture of good and evil, that alb
normal growth of good until 1T har-
hors all kinds of sins and evils. The
not of it; but it has grown to such
abnormal proportions that 1t is of it.
And the parable of the leaven pre-
sents still the influence of evil in
the Kingdom. Everywhere else in the
Bible, without exception, 1eaven is
Of Interpretation, it must mean evil
here also: The woman represents
the church, and she is doing what
the scripture forbids (Lev. 2:11),
putting leaven in the meal offering,
corrupting the children's bread, for
the three measures of meal Can ep-
hab) was typical Of Christ the Bread
of Life. How truly do we see this
phase of the Kingdom today-the
church corrupting the doctrine of
Christ by ritua1ism, Journalism, new
thought, Christian Science, Russian
ism, mormonism, and various other
phases Of error. purporting to be the
Bread of life.
Shall we be pessimistic over this?
NO, thousand times, no. History
has shown us the truth Of these
words or Jesus the Christ. But the
harvest time will come. and ali will
be we'll. Until then, keep heart and
eyes on Him.

MARY MEPEDlTHS ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME

| VIII you kindly give me the ad-
dress of the dolls hospital in At
lanta? I have been told there was
one there. I have two jointed dolls

am sending an envelope for reply
| Will thank you many times for any
information you can give me.

Now that Santa Claus will soon
be here I know of a splendid
shop, run by a Mrs. J. Grass,
227 Arcade building, second
floor, Atlanta, Ga, where dollies
be restrung and repaired. Also
one can buy dolls shoes and
stockings and wigs at this shop.
Work done promptly and very
satisfactorily.
Dear Miss Meredith: I have writ
ten you twice before but have never
seen either one in print. Will you
please answer these questions for
me? 1. What will take blackheads
and pimples off the face? How can
a girl win boys confidence? I am
going with young man twenty for
about two months. I love him dearly,
but he has never told me he loves
me, but comes to see me every chance
he has and that is not often, as he
is now in school good ways from
home. He never breaks date and
writes to me real often. Do you
think he loves me? I will appreciate
it very much if you will answer
these questions for me. Please sign
my initials. H. r. MD.
I am sending a letter to the
readers of this column on how to
remove blackheads and the prop
err treatment of the face. T am
sure the young man must care
great deal for you. Be sweet
and charitable and sincere. Let
the womanly qualities endowed
you by nature, come to the sur
face, for men love sweet, sincere
women, who are free from cat
tishness. Such woman inspires
confidence, especially when she
controls her tongue.
Would you be so kind as to give
m me. - INFORMATION pertaining to the
to know. Do they have any rules
as to how old a girl should be, or
II they have to have good educa-
ton? Will thank you so much if
you can help me. I am country
girl.
Suppose you write a letter to
the Industrial Department, Sal
walton Army, 272 Luckie street,
Atlanta, Ga. | am confident
you can get full information
from that source, and they will
be glad to accommodate you.
Here comes a young girl for your
good advice. Should a girl open
package, such as candy or birthday
present in the presence of the giver
if he be young man, or should she
wait till he goes. Please advise me.
Also is a girl of twenty years old
enough to go with a boy her father
objects to her going with. Should
she go on with him or take her faith
er's advice? Now, please, Miss Mer-
redith, answer as soon as possible.
Your kindness will be appreciated.
BROWN EYES"
It is perfectly proper to open
a birthday package in the pres
ence of the giver. If the present
happens to be candy, and you
do not wish to open it, you may
say: 'I do not wish to open this
lovely box of candy just yet.
[ want to keep it a few days,
Just to get real joy out of pos
sessing it. And when l do open
it [ shall certainly think of the
giver for remembering me so
kindly" A girl of twenty years
is old enough to have beaus.
