Christian Science

In all branches of The Mother
Church, The First Church Of
Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass,
the lesson on Sunday de-
nounces ancient and modern nee
romancy, alias mesmerism and
hypnotism. The golden text pre-
sents the message of God as given
to jeremiah: II will deliver thee
out of the hand of the wicked, and
l will redeem thee out of the hand
Of the terrible
Among the Bible selections in the
lesson-sermon are the words OF
Paul to the Ephesians: Finally, my
brethren, be strong in the Lord,
and in the power of his might.
Put on the whole armour of God,
that We may be able to stand
against tie wiles of the devil. For
we wrestle not against flesh and
blood, but against principalities
against powers, against the rulers
of the darkness of this world
against spiritual wickedness in higf
places"
Correlative passages from Sci
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy
state: 1--WE should become moro
familiar with good than with evil
and guard against false beliefs as
watchfully as we bar our door,
against the approach of thieves an
murderers You must contro
evil thoughts in the first instance
or they will control you in the Sec

Society
Clubs

Endorsed by the city schools and
by welfare and religious organiza
tions of the city, the concert to be
given Monday evening, November
27( by the East Side Choral club
for the benefit of the Children S
Clothes closet will not only provide
an opportunity to hear a splendid
program but one to aid a worth
while agency in its relief work.
The East Side Choral club is all
excellent musical organization ci-
rected by w. A. Payne and las
planned a splendid program to be
given that evening. These club
members are giving their time and
talents for the concert and as most
of them are busy teachers, setting
aside time for rehearsals is some
what of a sacrifice.
They number some excellent So
loists and their choral work is eX-
ceptional so that their program
without a doubt will be well WORTH
while as those who attended last
years concert know. Haunting
spirituals with their deeply reli-
gious feeling will be alternated
with instrumental and vocal solos

STYLE CHATS
With ALMA ARCHER

Just so your viewpoint doesn't
get muddyVRepeal is being ac-
companied with a return OF
church" linen for both table and
cocktail napkins. These church, or
Bisso, linens are that interesting
dry. thin texture which look too
divine with simple Italian embroid-
cry. Instead of getting into half
demented state over Christmas mug
gets, it doesn't take too much cour-
age to give everyone you know a
dozen Bisso linen cocktail napkins
in ecru, cornered withNa finely en-
broidered pine cone in brown. But
as far as I'm concerned on your
St. Nicholas list, put me down for
dozen Irish birdseye linen wash
cloths. It's a sin to expect the
world to wash its ears much longer
with these confounded Turkish tow
cling cloths, evidently some bi-prod-
uct of a carpet mill, and which
would find themselves considerably
taxed if asked to contact the ear
of a jackass, much less a human
being.

OF our handsomest trees. In fact. it is
believed by MANY to be the next in
choice to the American EN-. Given
congenial soil. it is one of the most
rapid growers among the hardwoods
and seeding will reech a height of
20 inches during the first year.
The size and stateliness of the tree
are impressive 1t lives to a ripe old
age, retains its handsome figure, and
yields yearly return of delicious fruit
to its owner. besides blessing him with
beauty and shade during the Summer
1t adapts itself readily to new en-
vironment and accepts almost any soil
In unused waste lands" this tree would
be very profitable one to plant. 1t has
range over the greater portion of the
Eastern half of the United States. The
trees reach their greatest height and
size in protected valleys and rich coveS.
The early American settlers found
this hardwood Of great value to them,
Not only did they use it for great beams
in their homes but also in the larger
buildings Their furniture was made of
it. their gates, fence posts and wagon
wheels. Not a bit of the wood was
wasted as the smaller pieces came in
handily for trim, molding and inteSior
work. even for the framing Of pictures.
Today pianos. sewing machine frames,
tables and caskets are among the things
made Of the wood.
The Greeks and Romans held this
tree es a symbo, Of luck. Instead of
throwing rice after a bridal couple they
used the walnuts. I am sure not as a
shower. The crusaders brought the nut
to England and here it received the
name of Walsh nut" which means
stranger. Later it was called the walnut.
The black walnu.s at Mount Vernon
are still beautiful. Each year many
bushels Of fruit are gathered from the
trees Last year nuts were sent to the
various State capitals. where cere-
monies were held and the nuts planted
In memory of our First President.
Today you may ride along forgotten
road which leads to an old tumble
down blacksmith shop or abandoned
dwelling. There you will see growing
beside the neglected building black
walnut in all its glory. Time has added
only to its stateliness and dignity.

he had picked up Reddy's trail and
started to follow it Reddy had not been
in the least disturbed. He knew that
the Dog was young and he had no
doubt at all that he could be easily
fooled with any one of the simplest
tricks. But it was only by leading him
into trap that Reddy had escaped,
and right then respect for him had
been born in Reddy.
That had been in the Summer, and
Reddy had seen no more Of that Dog
hunting season had opened, and here
was that Dog on his trial again. Trick
after trick had failed until at last he
had reached the Laughing Brook, and
by running in the shallow water and
jumping from stone to stone he had
broken his trail. Now he was curled
up. partly hidden, in some brush on
a great rock in the middle of the widest
part of the Laughing Brook. while far
ther up the Laughing Brook that Dog
was trying to find the lost trail.
Presently he came in sight. He was
working along the bank, trying to find
the place where Reddy had left the
water. Back and forth, this way and
that. with his nose to the ground he
worked patiently and persistently. Now
and then he waded out to sniff at a
big stone in the Laughing Brook. It
was clear that he knew that old trick
Of jumping from stone to stone Twice
he yelped, whereby Reddy knew that
he had caught faint scent on one
Of those big stones. Several times he
crossed to the other bank to search
there.
As Reddy watched. his respect for
that Dog grew. He even began to grow
q bit anxious THAT fellow is smart"
thought Reddy 1T won't do to take
any chances with him Even Bowser
would have given up before this. I
don't mind a good run on a cold morn
ing ahead of other Dogs. In fact, I
enjoy 1t. But this fellow is too fast
and too smart. I wonder II he will
find the place where I left the water"
He didn't have long to wait The
Dog found the scent and at once raced
into the woods, baying as is the way
of Hound on a warm trail. But in
couple Of minutes he ceased baying.
He had reached the place where Reddy

could hear that Dog shifting among the
leaves Now and then he gave an i'm
patient little yelp. He came back out
to the edge of the Laughing Brook, ran
back and forth there and then once
more went back along the trail. There
he worked back and forth on each side
of the trail and SO came to the old
log along which Reddy had run.
There he got the scent and followed
it to the end of the log, where it ended
Once more he began to work back and
forth with his nose to the grC4nd. and
finding no scent returned to the end
of the old log. For moment he stood

over to a fallen tree, put his four-pawS
up on it and shifted. A sharp yelp fol-

the defensive short-suited type. he can,
without fear, allow his partner to play
the hand in one no trump II that be
his response; or, If his partner imnle-
diately responds with two no trumps,
he can raise TO three without a tremor
Finally. If slam try Is developed py
the responding hand, the opening bid
der can take a natural part in the bid
tributional or in strong high-card hold
ings To make clearer the point we are
now discussing-signoffs- us state
the facts from another point of view:
When Sims player opens the bid
ding as dealer or second hand. he Is
not only willing for the bidding to
reach two odd. but he actually expects
1t to do so unless his partner passes.
The original bid intrinsically fore
shadows continuance to two-but
not necessarily more than that
Consequently
(a) Weak responses or signoffs by
the partner operate merely to keep
the bidding within the limits originally
provided for; they do not raise it un-
necessarily from one to two: they keep
1t from going beyond two. Going from
one to two Is part of a necessary
chance giving, fit-ascertaining process
which was provided for by the essential
reserve or rebid factor in the opening
bidders hand.

hand will never be played in one of a
suit unless the partner passes. Other

matically take it to at least one no
trump or two in a suit.
(c) Therefore when you are not
driving the bidding beyond two odd
in suit any bids you make in a fresh
suit are not necessarily pointing the
way to contract in excess of two.
The opening bidder in showing q sec
end suit, is making qualitative rebid.
not a quantitative rebid. The bidding

one no: trump, two diamonds
opener is not saying: BY bidding
second suit I am showing a much
stronger hand than If I had merely
rebid my hearts" His message. Is: II
have these two bidable suits; Tell me
your preference: do not necessarily
wish to get beyond two in the one you
