Silrer Star Home Visitors Note
Tasteful Interior Furnislling s

Several thousand visitors made an
inspection this week Of the French
provincial dwelling at 47O8 River
road, which was opened to the public
last Sunday as the fourth Silver Star
home of 1885.
They found 1t delightful demon
stration Of careful planning and
construction in a house of modest
size and cost. This white brick home,
built by Cooper Lightbown & Sons,
will be on. exhibition three more
weeks. 1t is open from am. to
9 pm.
Attention is being centered this
week on the furnishings of the house,
installed by Woodward & Lothrop.
Study shows the value of wise Sc
lection of furnishings in bringing
added charm and comfort to the
construction product, which itself
passed strict tests before the COM
mittee of specialists constituting the
Silver Star Homes Committee.
Pleased comment has been aroused
by the demonstration Of planning
accomplished in this small, six-room
dwelling. In like manner praise has
been voiced for the equipment of
the place, which gives it the desired
livable aspect. It is adequately fur
nished, but not "overstuffed," and
has color sufficiently cheerful.
Color Scheme Harmonious.
The color scheme for the living
room is eggshell. copper, brown and
green. The walls of the room and
the hall are papered in q small
wreath pattern, in off-white tones.

Epistles of the New Testament ana
gives us look into the early church
life and also a picture Of the aged
apostle. This Epistle consists Of
the following parts:
/. The salutation wv. 1-4). This
letter was addressed to Gaius, with
the fervent wish that his temporal
prosperity and physical health
would be measured by the measure
Of the increase Of his spirituality.
His supreme joy was to hear that
his children were walking in the
truth.
2. His praise for Gaius wv. 6Sl.
This praise was for the hospitality
which Gaius showed toward some
travelling evangelists. In spite Of
the opposition Of a certain prominent
member Of the church, Gaius re-
ceived these preachers into his home.
To receive Gods messengers into
our homes and send them forth on
their journey Is a deed worthy OF
God. One Of the best ways to help
the truth Is to show hospitality to
its messengers.
8. His condemnation Of Diotrephes
wv. 8, 10Y. The sin Of this man
was his Over-weening self-conhdencs
and arrogance. He loved to have
the place Of prominence: there
fore, for that reason he refused to
receive these travelling evangelists
and expelled from the church those
who had received them into their
homes. He even maliciously at
tackled John the beloved pastor. His
spirit of pride moved him to acts Of
tyranny toward others. &c.. -. .
4. His commentator of Demetrius

bearer Of this letter. John gives
the assurance that Demetrius was
Of good report among all men. His
life Of good deeds proved that he
was Ia fellowship with God.

Sunset Skies
BY ID. C. PEATTIE.

bx Ds Cs 1Eh1 AAEs
TXTHO will tell us why only in Win
" ter do we see that strange chill
apple green in the sunset sky? Is 1t
gold difYused on the very clear light
blue, giving US the Illusion Of green?
I call 1t green. but as soon as I
look at 1t, 1t turns into something
else, some shade that I cannot name.
Our visual range is Impoverished,
limited to the narrow octaves between
red and violet. It Is tormenting to
reflect that, even in q sunset, there
are colors, perhaps almost an inflnity
of them, which we shall never see.
Yet the physicists and astronomers
give us reason to think that In one
sense the sunset colors are not there
at all. Ascension to the stratosphere
has shown that darkness prevails as
the air grows rarer and space clearer
of particles. Out in the wastes Of
space all Is perpetual night. The
sun and the other stars must stab
through the darkness with binding
shafts, like searchlights. So. after
all. 1t is not the heavens, but little
earth. dear, dusty, ill-behaved and
mortal earth, that diffuses all this
bombardment Of the photons that
we call light; it Is the evening damps,
the restless dust, that give us sunset.
Yet even this Is not quite literally
true. For when the astronomer looks
at the sunset with his telescope, blue
turns white, clouds look dingy yellow,
purple becomes insipid pink, and all
the sky is a tawdry mixture. The
beauty of our sunsets. into which
the Monument lifts like shaft Of
courage and hope made visible. Is
then in reality only in the human
eye. and in the mind behind the eye.
