Rev. E. E. Adams Gives
 Second of Lenten Talks

Rev. F.. F. Adams of the Assyrian mission of the South Congregational church preached the second in a ser ies of Lenten sermons last evening, his topic being "The Second Birth" His text was St. John. 3:3, in which Jesus spoke to Nicodemus, the great teacher of Israel. Jesus told him that men must be born again if they wish to be true children of God and of heaven. Nicodemus could not under stand the meaning of being 'born again." Rev Mir. Adams said that this was not strange as there are great many people in this age who are called Christians. who attend church and study the Bible, but who cannot understand the meaning of the words. "I dare say there are a good many religious leaders like Nicodemus, preaching and teaching, who are not born again." he decfared. "The new birth converts the man just like the wind" Rev. Mir. Adams said. He can feel in his heart that great change is coming over him, cleansing and purifying him, and making him complete

The ll-mannered man or woman needs the art Of greeting aequaint- ances properly. The more one goes, the more he will meet and the moro he must greet. A greeting can be either repellant or attractive; it can bar ones way to social progress or can help one along the road to popu- larity.
 Greetings.
 IA man meeting woman ac- quaintance on the street lifts his hat from his head with the hand farthest removed from her, and bows.
 "A man on the street never shakes hands with woman without first removing his right glove. Par don my glove.'' is bad form. At the opera or ball he keeps his glove on.---
 3-Gentlemen always shake hands when introduced; women usually; but women rarely offer their hands to men just introduced to them.
 4-Acquaintances usually shake hands on meeting. There should be strength and warmth and sincerity in the handclasp.

Letter From Leslie Hamilton to John
 Alden Prescott.

Alden Prescott.
 My Dear Boy:
 As you knew that l was going to do, 1 went to see your friend, Miss Priscilla Bradford, on Friday after noon and took her to the club to tea with your cousin, Mary Alden-she calls you Cousin John Alden.'
 l think my young sister, Alice, called the turn when she saddles, they arc dumb-beIls."
 The first word your Priscilla Brad ford said to be was You know l have played and quarreed and made up with your fiance ever since we were young children. I could tell you much about him that you do not know"
 l answered, "I expect that is so. much about his boyhood friends. With the exception of Sydney Carton I don't remember that he ever men toned one of them, either man or woman to me. We had so short a time together that l guess we did what all lovers do--used all of it talk ing of ourselves"
 Sometimes, lover mine, l think per haps that is the sweetest part of low ing-this saying when did you first know that you loved me" and isn't it more beautiful than we could possibly have dreamed and think of it, sweetheart, this is the way it will be forever" and all those other cxclama- tions that go to make up the long, long conversations of lovers.
 Have you arranged for all your bridesmaids Priscilla asked (that name just suits hcr). ] knew by the way she asked it that she thought I ought to ask her to be one, but won't, John. I'm only going to have pretty girls to be my bridesmaids ard so 1 nswered-"Oh, yes, with the exception Of my young sister here, they are all classmates at school"
 Her face fell at this and Mary Alden spoke up-"No bridegroom gets much consideration at his own wed- ding, does he? One might think that sometimes he might want some one Of his relatives in the wedding party"
 Not in America" answered. You see, over here 1t is one Of the times when the girl has the center of the stage and no one notices tho bride groom except to sense the fact that he is in the conventional black"
 Just the Alice spied Karl Whitney coming in from the golf links. and she called him over. Karl was only too glad to come, for although I havent't said very much to you about him, "he has played and quarreled and

 Grandma Goose began to call 10 the members of her flock.
 This way" she cried. "Quiek! Quick" ... ..
 Every goose began to paddle like mad. Even those silly creatures to whom the General had talked behind the barn hurried to join Grandma Goose, They were terribly fright ened.
 In a few minutes Grandma Goose led the flock up the bank. And there, at the top. she paused for ono last backward look. She saw some- body. Tapping, at the waters edge, across the pond It was the General. He hadn't obeyed her. v Come here this instant" she called.
 But General Gander only waved his wings the faster. without moving from the spot where he was. He an- swered something that Grandma Goose couldn't quite hear,
 What's that he's saying?' she asked her flock.
 T think he's calling for help" Aunt Gussie Goose told her.
 Poor fellow" Grandma Goose ex- claimed "The mink has caught him. Maybe it serves him right. because he wouldn't mind mo. But can't help feeling sorry. You know. the General is my own grandson"
 It wasn't very gay procession that fled back to the farm yard. Somehow the flock missed General Gander. It seemed queer not to hear Grandma Goose scolding him.
 The next morning Grandma said that they'd 20 to the pond for their usual swim. The whole flock marched close together. There wasn't a single straggler.

 Every goose craned her neck and looked, too. Not one could believe it was the General. exactly where they had last seen him.

 Mary Alden was tactless enough to tell Miss Bradford--"this is the man we all thought Miss Hamilton would marry"
 Karl bless his heart, loyal to me to the last answered, This man had no such impression as that, Miss Alden, although he would have been happy to have been principal in the coming drama instead of standing on the side lines and giving worthless blessing"
 I could have hugged him. Yes, John, ] really could.

I knew they were criti. cizing me from the top of my mar celled hair to the new buckle shoes on my feet, which, by the way, have high French heels and contrasted greatly with their sensible oxfords.
 Darling, I'm so glad we are not go- ing to live in your old town. I never could be friends with your Priscilla Bradford if I should live to be 8 thousand years old.
 You haven't said one word 10 me about whether you ever told another girl you loved her. Surely you did not tell that Bradford girl that, did you? Don't think it is too trivial a question to answer. John, for I could not bear it if 1 thought you had made love to some other girl in just the dear way that you have made love to me.
 Not that I am jealous! Oh no! never could be jealous; that is an ac- Acknowledgement of inferiority and thank my stars that have no infer- iority complex.

It some way brings me almost within your dear arms. let my imagination revel a little and now I'm sitting on the arm of your chair. my cheek tight against yours, and instead of writing it, l am say it it--"Jack, I love you and l am just as impatient as you for that day when you and ] will go away together-just you and me"
 Where are we going on our we'd ding trip, John? I hadn't thought of that before, because be it far or near, nast or west, north or south. I care not if you are with

Order by Lord Cuzon.
 London, March 19.-(By Associated Press)--The first session of the pre- liminary conference on the Near East ern conference to be held at the Brit ish foreign office Wednesday will be presided over by Lord Curzon, after which the meetings will be condutced by the experts of Great Britain, France and Italy, the three powers party to the conference.
 It is expected considerable difficult ty will be encountered in dealing with the questions involved in the Turkish counter proposals to the Lausanne draft treaty, but the tone of Ismet Tasha's covering letter which is point ed to as cvincing the Kemalists de- sire for peace, is a cause for the op- timism which appears to prevail in British circles.
 The allied experts arc not expected to conclude their deliberations before the Easter holidays and thus the re- sumption of the Lausanne meeting will be prepared until early April
