M W* didn’t come home until six
•’clock, 1 ’ abo said. “We had breakfast
before we left—ham and eggs and
everything. I made the toast Burned
myself, too.’’
M 8!x o’clock! But, Rhoda, how can
yen work—" ~
“Who’s going to work? I told you
yesterday I couldn’t work today.
That’s why I finished the picture. Oh,
such a head!”
“Well, of all the silly things,” Jerry
aald. In her most pompously Prudence
voice. “Work all night or dance all
night, or— It Id plain Intemperance,
Rhoda. Tou ought to use a little Judg
ment about things! No wonder yoy r re
• wreck.” .
Rhoda laughed feebly. “Now, Iowa,”
she protested teaslngly. “There speaks
the com-ted baby!" Then ahe added
soberly: “Did you enjoy It, Jerry?
Every one liked yon ao much. They
thought jrou were perfectly lovely, al
though discreet. Korxky said you were
quite annoyed because he kissed you
—at least he thought It was you. And
Duane—”
“I had a lovely tlms, thanks,” Jerry
Interrupted. “It was the most amus
ing thing I ever saw In my life. No
wonder we hear these tittle stories
about Greenwich!” \
"That Isn’t Greenwich, that’s Brook
lyn," objected Rhoda. '“Bu^ anyhow
we admit It We do nothing by frac
tions. When we Jasx, we Jazs. But
remember this. Old Mississippi. When
we work, we Yrork. I’ve slaved away
every night but three In the last three
months. The theater twice, the party
once. If I want' to Jaxx until morn-
“It’a nobody’s business hut your
own," Jerry put In, laughing, as
Rhoda hesitated.
“Righto 1 Rush along the coffee,
Angel-face My merry-go-rounds ure
back-firing on me.”
Jerry hastened to pour the coffee,
and they drank a cup In silence, then
another. With the third serving Jerry
broke the silence.
“Rhoda, who Is Francy? 1 haven't
met her, Jiave IT'
“Francy? Oh, you mean Francy
England. Well, she Is Duane Aller-
ton’s new flame, since Kitty Karson
got married. What did he say about

“He didn’t mention her. It was ! god to me.

Rhode said surprisingly. *«he's 4e-
iag marvelously.”
*Tbereaa!“
"Tee, why notr , " T'
"But—then—why—for heaven's sake,
then, why doesn't she get a decent
room, and eat a decent meal once In a ’
while? I thought—” ,
"Wrfl, you thought wrong. It Isn’t
the mone^-wlth people like Theresa-
like all of u*. It's that horning up In
side—we can’t help It. Don’t try TO
know what Fm talking about, old
Angel-face; the more you think about
it the leas you’ll understand!”'
• - • • e • '
It was the next morning when Jerry
slipped softly upstairs with a break-
fast-tray that Theresa, asked her dif
fidently, almost apologetically, If she
would care i to see a few of her
“things."
“Oh, I should love to,” Jerry cried,
flushing with pleasure.
Theresa was vaguely surprised, a
little troubled, at her eagernefip. “If
you wanted to see them, why didn’t
you ask me?"
“Oh, I couldn’t ssk, Theresa. I
thought perhaps you’d rather not show
me—I was Just hoping you would sug
gest It some time.’’ '
For the first time In the weeks she
had known Theresa, she really took
time to do a thing quietly, deliberately
and with comfortable easiness. She
apent the full morning with Jerry,,
showing her dozens of little sketches,
unfinished bits of landscape, lovely
heads, delicately draped figures with
out r number, discussing' them mean
while with an Impersonal, Judicious In
terest that charined and fascinated
Jerry. She tom bed upon their beauties
at composition and execution generous
ly, but without personal warmth. And
ahe pointed out their defects with a
keen eye and an unsparing tongue.
And then she said:
“I have saved my heat fill the laat,
Jerry. This la my one passion, my
darling and my adored.” '
It was typical of Theresa that she
did not keep It on display, "her darling
and adored,” but packed away with
tender care In a dark closet, obviously
the one thing In her life that received
her tender care. Jerry almost held her
breath as Theresa brought It out, re
moved the protecting wrappers, and
turned It shout for her to see.
It v.;ub a cruel green ocean, lashing
great waves Into white foam, an ocean
of blackening shadows, and shifting
lights. At first glance, Jerry saw only
the turbulence of a multitude of wa
ters, and then, looking deeper, stand
ing out with sharp Im-islveness once
she had discerned Its presence, riding
the highest, wildest wsVe of all,
stretched the slim white body- of a
woman, triumphant white face up
raised, dominant , white arms flung
wide—a Joyous, Jubilant, fearless fig- *
ure of youth, swept on the black wa
ters, sprayed with the white.
Jerry cried out, enraptured.
'Theresa ! Oh, Theresa ! It Is beau
tiful I It la the most—thrilling—thing
I ever s»w. It makes you feel so full
of—freedom.” ;
Theresa nodded, her dark eyes
alight with pleasure. “Um, freedom.
I’ve been working on it for .tears, •
Jerry. A thousand or more. I think. I
used to s|»end the summer on the coast ~
In Maine with my nurse—when I was
a kid, you know. 1 adored the ocean.
It Is the only reall? free—really re-
lentleas thliii; I o\tr saw. It knows
no law hut Its own. Oh, yes, I know
what scieiitisia say about the moon,
and the tides. No, no, what little moon
riding the heavens could harness a
fathomless ocean! I used to sit, like
an ugly blackbird, on the highest rocks, j
and adore the ocoun in a storm. A
hundred times I went home drenched
to the skin, soaked, but exalted with I
rapture, to be soundly whipped for my I
mischief, and put to bed In disgrace.”
She paused, smiling at Jerry.
“Go on, go on,” she begged feverish
ly. “Tell me.” 4
“First, I suppose l,t was Just • per
sonal emotion—1 wanted to ride the
waves. 1 chafed at my bondage to
solid, sordid earth. I thrilled myself
to a rapture by fancying myself swept
high on the topmost wave. And so be
fore long—my thought a mother to the
thing, I suppose—It really seemed to
me I saw her, the Ocean Rider, a love
ly, slim, white woman triumphant on
the waves. I worshiped It. It was a

when the passion is hot
bound hand and root—to conventions
—to conviction*—to Prudence.”
“Yes. that Is what I mean. Tea
don't find that Withe and buoyant con
fidence, that triumphant Joyoutmesa
of safety. In freedom Itself. 'Only In
the, pursuit of It In eyee that have
•een freedom"—she waved k light hand
toward her Ocean Rider—“like thla,
subtle, understanding, inscntfuble—“
“Perhaps—perhaps you mean li
cense, Theresa, Instead of freedom.", .
Thlresa smiled at her gentle dlfll-
dencA “Yes, T get the distinction.
But unfortunately, Jerry, one must try
both before one knows which ,t§
which! There’s the pity of It. And
the eyes are faithful registers, they
reoord it all. 8o my brave Httln
Ocean Rider has got to have—not eyes
that have known freedom, but which
hold a vision of It—unrealized.”
That same afternoon, Jerry posed
tor the eyes of the Ocean Rider, who

must know not freedom, but cherish a
dream of It.
“I think I missed ray calling after
all,” she said. T should be a model.
The other night 1 was a corpse for
Rhoda. and now I’m a mermaid for
you.” '
And she sat. sweetly patient, la a
bright light, starry-eyed with delight
j that she could be of service, while
| Theresa worked passionately on the
eyes that were not Just right. And
* when she had finished, and declared
the res jilt far exceeded her expecta
tions. she kissed Jerry Impulsive
ly, for the first time, not on the lips
but on the. brilliant eyes which could
see visions. 1 Jerry herself saw no dif
ference In the picture, felt that Theresa
• had overestimated the importance of
an unessential trifle, but she was glad
Theresa was pleased with her.
! As she was tripping, almost hap
pily. almost as Ip the days before the
studio party of such sorry memories,
down the stairs to her own room, she
was slopped by Mltnf, a radiant vision
In a filmy griwn of silk and silver
lace, who held a cautioning finger
across her Ups to Insure silence.
“Sh!” She whispered. “Go quick,
and get dolled up. You haye a caller
—the best-looking thing you ever saw
In your, life I"
She turned expressive eyes toward
the celling to convey the extent of her
rapture. ^ ’ r >
“I took him in my room to give
you a chance to fuss up a little, after
messing about with Theresa. Shall I
make some tea?”
Jerry’s eyes were no longer starry,
but cold as loe. “Who Is It?”
“Sh, he’ll hear you. Duane AUerton

PAUL WRITES TO THE *
PHILIPPIANS.
- LESSON TEXT—PhIL 4:1.
GOLDEN TEXT—“1 can do all thing!
through Christ which strengthensth
me.”—Phil. 4:13. '
PRIMARY TOPIC—Paul and His
Friends.
JUNIOR TOPIC—Paul Pressing To
ward the Goal.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP
IC—-Choosing thtf Rest Things.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP
IC—The Christian's GoaL
The contents pt the epistle may be
summarized as follows:
b Salutation (1 :l-2).
2. Thanksgiving and prayer in which
he shows his loving interest in them
(1:3-11.)
3. Triumph of the gospel In spite
of opposition (1:12-26).
4. Duties enjoined (1:27-2:18).
5. Paul’s promise to send Timothy
and Kpaphrodltus (2:19-30).
6. Exhortations rfnd warnings (3:1-
4:1).
7. Renewed appeal for unity (4:2-9).
8. Personal mutters (4:10-23).
The essential message of Philip-
plans is a revelation of the mind which
should . dominate the Christian. ^
Iv.AH Things Loss for Christ (3:7-9).
The o?caslon for thla remarkable-.
declaration was the claim of the
Judaizing teachers for legal righteous
ness. In chapter 3:4-6 he enumerates
the grounds upon which he had a
right to tye his claims for legal
righteousness.
1. “Circumcised the eighth day," In
keeping with the demands of the law.
2. “Of the stock of Israel," related
by blood and birth.
! 3. “Tribe of Benjamin,” from which
the first king was chosen, and which
always retnnined loyal to the nation.
I 4. “An Hebrew of the' Hebrews.” in
contrast with some of mixed parent
age.
5. "Touchflig -the law, a Pharisee,”
the sect most zealous for the ritual
of Judaism.
6. “Concerning seel, persecuting the
church.” A passionate effort to crush
the church.
7. “Touching the righteousness
which 1* in the law. blameless,” as
♦n the condition of life demanded by
the law.
All of these; valuable In themselves,
when placed alongside of the excel
lency of the knowledge of Christ were
abandoned for a better thing. The
vjslon of Christ irave him • the true
perspective of values. In this light
he saw the utter worthlessness of
these things. After some thirty years
of such trials and sufferings as per
haps no other human being ever knew,
he lias no regrets, and still' counts
them as refuse in comparison with
what lie had gained in Christ.
II. Paul’s Pressn* Desire (vv. 16-11).
1. ‘That I May Know Him."
Personal acquaintance with the Lord
was his supreme dc lire. To know
the saving grace of Christ Is good,
hut to know- Christ Is Infinitely bet
ter.
2. "The Power of His Resurrection."
This Is an advance thought over
personal acquaintance. It Is the ex
pression of the life of Christ through
the apostle. It Is the power you gain
to overcome, .the mastery over sin
and self.
. 3. "Fellowship of His Sufferings.”

ML Pressing Toward tha Goal (w.
12-16).
Paul clearly grasped the meaning, of
his perfection In Christ, yet he was
keenly conscious of his personal limi
tations. Herein is expressed the true
law of progress In the spiritual life.
1. Conscious of Limitations (v. 12)
The first step toward? progress Is
to be profoundly dissatisfied with
personal attainments. No Intellectual
advum-ement la ever- made by those
who think they know enough, who are
satisfied with what they have.
2. Conscious of a Transcendent Goal

4 IV. The Sight Occupation of the
Mind (eh. 4:1-8).
The Ideal controls the man. “As a
man tklnketh In his heart, so is he."
When once the mind Is guarded and
controlled by. the peace of God, It will
dwell upon spiritual things.
