scratch pad she was writing down
the names of the guests. When she
jotted down the names of the neigh

them soming to her door in their
silks and satins
With the thought came a start

would not do for this occasion.
Questioningly she looked about,
her gaze gliding to the carpet be-

The piano was out of tune. The

The house warming" did not
mature. The new neighbors re-

friends were gradually lessening
their calls.
Rita shed tears of repentance,
bitter repentance.
One afternoon Jack came home
early and caught her crying in the
kitchen.

standing watching her in complete

Rita was happy, unspeakably
happy. For Jack had purchased
the new house on Vernon street.
the very one she had long wanted
him to buy.
To Rita the Dutch Colonial"
house was the one thing to be de-
sired. 1t was hers at last, her very
!own-the white house with the
green shutters. 1t was a beauty,
with eight large rooms. She ador
ed the long living room with its
brown Japanese wall paper and
colonial fireplace. Then there was
the kitchen, with its modern con-
veniences, the dining room with its
set-in buffet, the pantry, the coy
den and the four bedrooms on the
second floor.
Rita arose from the chair where
she had been sitting dreaming of
the new house, and crossed to the
other side of the kitchen. She stood
by the dining room door, viewing
the rooms of the bungalow. They
were so small, the ceilings low. 1t
was cheaply finished. The wall
paper was terribly faded. Well,
she could see it needed repairs
when she contrasted it with her
new house. Had it been seven
years that she had lived there? she
questioned herself. Yes, it was
seven years past now, and in all
those years she had never been
able to do as she had wished New
er once had she had party; and
never once had they invited her
husbands business friends to dine
In contrast, Rita pictured her
friends gathering in the pretty liv-
ing room of the Vernon street cot
tage. There she would begin life
anew, she resolved.
She was called back from her
reverie by one of the neighbors
calling.
Rita stepped into the kitchen. 1t
was Mrs Lowell. At first glance
she knew her to be troubled over |
something.
What's this news I've just !
heard?" she questioned, eagerly. |
Il hope you've heard good news" |
Rita replied little teasingly.
We'll, it's good and bad combin- |
ed" Mrs. Lowell answered. Tell |
me what's happened"
To this, Rita unfolded her Sc
cret. They talked until the clock !
struck II, which reminded them of !
the approach of the dinner hour !;
Rita stood at the kitchen door
watching her neighbor as she hur-
ried home again. She was an ad-
mirable person, kind and thought
full OF her friends 1t was with a
sincere hope that she wished her
new neighbors to be as friendly.
BY the first Of the month the But
lers were settled in the Colonial"
Rita tripped about her new man
The rare days added the only nee
essary touch to complete her hap
piness. 1t was all so wonderful to
her, so unbelievably wonderful 1t
had all happened so quickly. She
had been transplanted from the
small flower box where she had ex-
listed so long to a garden. Her
growth and influence would not be
hindered now by the small quarters
OF the bungalow. Then she was to
receive the new neighbors and soon
to enjoy their friendship she had
been anticipating so long.
But the new neighbors did not
seek Rita's friendship. They look
ed upon her with cold curiosity.
There was nothing about the But
Iers that was in harmony with their
surroundings. How they had Sc
cured the house had been a puzzle
to the neighborhood.
Rita was sitting alone in the iv-

Questions and Answers.
Camphor upersitition-Is there
any virtue in wearing a camphor
bag as a preventive of scarlet fever
or other disease? There are several
cases in our neighborhood and we
have three children. MRS. c. l..
Answer-No, that is superstition.
All you can do is keep your chill
dren from personal contact with
children who show signs of having
anything that is called cold or
sore throat.
Green and Black Tea-Please
advise me whether two or three
cups of black tea for supper each
evening will prove harmful to the
nerves Is green or black tea the
more harmful? G. G. G..
Answer-Perhaps not to a vigor-
Gus adult engaged in hard outdoor
work For most Sodaotarv narC0OC
or indoor workers one cup of tea
is about the limit for supper. There
is no appreciate difference in the
effect of green and black tea.
Boric Acid-Would it be of any
benefit, in case of eyestrain from
drafting, to use an eye cup with a
solution of boric acid, to strengthen
the eyes? Or what would you sug-
gest? o. A. w.
Answer-Boric acid is an anti
septic, comparatively harmless, and
non-irritating to the eyes 1t does
not strengthen the eyesight, of
course. 1t would do no particular
harm for you to battle the eyes once
or twice day for few weeks only,
with a solution of heaping tea
spoonful of boric acid in a pint of
boiled water, at about tepid
warmth, but if there is some defect
of vision, as implied by eyestrain,
you would do better to attend to
correction of the lighting of the
place where you work, or to have |
an eye specialist fit suitable glasses |
for you to wear at your work.

proof of the brides ability as a housewife is
presented.

the love of God 1.-THE Father and
the communion Of the Holy Ghost
be with you ALP e Cor. 1919. 4.
At the baptism of Jesus the Father
speaks from heaven: This is my
beloved Son." The Son is being bap-
tized in the Jordan; the Spirit des-
cends in the form of dove and
lights upon the Son, (Matt. 3:16 I'D
Here we have three persons, three
distinct persons. 5. There are
three that hear record in heaven:
The Father, the word (Son of the
Father, see Jn.1 14-15), and the
Holy Ghost; and these three are
one" | John 81. Thus the bible
with great force confirms this holy
doctrine: there is one God, one di
vine essence, and three distinct per-
sons. This of course, to our human
understanding. is mystery.
A Deep Mystery.
The great doctrine Of the Trinity
is, in its last analysis, a deep mys-
terry. We cannot understand it. The
story is told of st. Augustine that
he once studied hard to find out how
God is triune. One might be dreamt
he was walking along the seashore,
where child had dug hole into
the sand, and with a shell was dip
ping water out of the sea into the
hole. He asked the child what it
was doing. Oh, said the child, I
am just emptying the sea into the
hole" He laughed and said: you
never can do that!" Indeed, ans
wered the child, "and wouldst empty
the mysteries of the great God with
the little dipper of thy thoughts?'
The story shows how foolish it is to
try to understand the Incompetent
sible mystery of the Trinity. It is a
doctrine to be believed, though it
cannot be fully understood, to be
believed because taught in the bible.
The doctrine of the Holy Trinity
is one of the articles of faith sub.
scribed to by the 600 million chris
tians in the world. 1t forms a part
of the christian faith; which ex-
cept man believe faithfully, he
cannot be saved For he that does
not regard Jesus Christ as true God
with the Father and the Holy Ghost
is trusting in a powerless human
Savior, a mere man, unable to re.
deem a lost world.
The Father is true God
The Son is true God
The Holy Ghost is true God.
Three distinct persons is one di-
vine essence,

The Unity of God.
There is only one God and Faith

through all, and in you all, (Eph.
49,. The Scripture assert the uni
ty of God in the following passages:
''Hear, o Israel, the Lord, our God
is ONE Lord" (Deut, 6:4). There
is ONE God, and there IS none
other but He"(Mark 1882; Tim.
2:5). Paul, the apostle said: 1--WE
know that there is none other
God but ONE"(1 Cor. s:4). Thus
saith the Lord, the King of Israel.
and his Redeemer, the Lord of
hosts; I am the first, and am the
last; and BESIDE ME there is no
God" Elsa. 44:6). The oneness OF
God was impressed on all mankind
when God issued the Law, saying:
''Thou shalt have no other Gods be
fore me' Eek. 20:3).
Three Distinct Persons in God.
Though there be but one Cod
yet there are three persons. These
three persons are DISTINCT from
each other, that is, the Father is not
the Son, nor the Son the Father,
nor are the Father and the Son the
Holy Ghost. There is one person

One of the most distinguished troop OF
musicians and dramatists on the Redpath cir
cult is the Geneva Players Co. Headed by
Geneva Adams Metzler, pianist of note and
an actor of drama; these players have won
their way by lay and play into the hearts of
hundreds of audiences. Helen Allen is the
vocalist of the quartet. In addition to arich
contralto voice she possesses rare ability as an
interpreter of drama and has rightly been
termed an artist To the concert tones of the
piano, and the mellow sounds of trained
voice there will be added the soft strains of a
violin. Coral Binning is the violinist; her vio-
lin obligatos greatly enhance the program.
Miss Binning is also reader. The fourth
artist is Miss Mildred Zaman, who with her
readings, soprano voice and her performance
at the piano helps make the program one
that has called forth the praises of many an
audience.
Distinctly unique and delightful is the
plan of the Geneva Players program. The

musical prelude Of Part I is in itself pro-
gram classic. Music of a given period is pre-
sented in costume with faithful adherence to
all the historic details. For example, COLO
NAL sketch features stately nlinuet and
series of the bestbeloved colonial songs with
violin obligatos. The entire prelude is char
acterized by tuneful melodies and distin'
guished grace Of presentation.
Part III of the program, which includes
at least two one-act plays, is delightfully."-
spirited diversion. One highly amusing
sketch is character comedy with all its
opportunity for bubblmg humor in situation,
lines and Interpretation. The Geneva Players
are clever condolences. But they are equal
ly convincing in the more serious plays OF
power and deep feeling. There they display
the fire and dramatic warmth of discriminate
ing and highly successful artists. They are
players of exceptional histrionic and musical
ability--a company that wins instant PoPu'
larity in any community.

Frigid Weather i'm Arizona Recently
Says Sam Smith-Lewis Chaplin
FrOZe Out in California.

Samuel Smith, who is spending the
winter at Phoenix, Arizona, writes
The Sun as follows:
"Just to let you folks know what
kind Of weather we are having in the
Sunny South for the last three days
our hydrant in the yard a been
frozen, so that we could, get no water
until after 10 o'clock, and in some
places, where the sun did not strike,
not till after noon. There has also
been a great snow storm and blizzard
at Los Angeles and San Diego, where it
froze so hard that it is feared nearly
of the fruit crop will be lost.
PHOENIX has very few tourists this
winter. They claim they have been
| robbed here and have not come back
this winter. Many of the large hotels
have hardly any guests, and they still
hold the prices very high, as the people
who have them rented say they got
their leases during the war and cannot
let go, so most of them are going
broke.
There will not be much doing in the
cotton fields, either, this season, as
the planters haven't the money to buy
seed. There are millions of bales ~
ing in the yards and storage places,
with no sale for it. There is also lots
of cotton in the fields which has not
been picked, as the growers are unable
to pay the pickers.
Lewis Chaplin came back here from
San Diego ten days ago. 1t got too bad
for him there. We have both been feel
ing on the bum for n week or so, dur
