THE COlAoRNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ont. thursday, dec. 5, 1935 o/e3keteh Club® LESSON NO. 81 BALANCE IN THREE TONES In your Exercise work for last week you were asked to create three new designs featuring balance in black and white. This week you will study balance in three tones. In Pigs. 274-5 we have demonstrate the use of tones 1, 3, and 5 in reversed positions, each design giving an entirely different effect, and yet the same three tones were used. The flower in Fig. 274 we have used the White Tone No. 1 on the flower, on the stem and leaves the Black Tone No. 5, and the Half-Tone of square. Use similar t sign number one as 1 design Fig. 274. On y use similar tones as ■ On your number 3 ui as on our Fig. 27G. number 4 use similar Fig. 277. This is you No. 80. If you have had any experience in the use of black and white paint, the two extremes of light and dark, you will know that by mixing these two paints, that intermediate tones are produced. With these different tones we may represent, the LIGHT and one on your de- our number two our on Fig. 275. se similar tones Then on your r work for Ex. X7S 2.76 2.77 Grey for the background. Now in Fig. 275 we have changed these tones l»y using Black on the flower, Half-Tone on the stem and leaves, and White for the background. Two simple effects, and both different. In Figs. 276-7, we demonstrate the use of tones 3, 4, and 5 also in reversed positions. Let us study Fig. 276, on the flower we have used the Half-Tone Grey, No. 3 tone. On the stem and leaves we have used No. 5 Tone, Black. Then for the background we used Tone No. 4, a Dark Grey. In Fig. 277 we used Black on the flower, Dark Grey No. 4 on the stem and leaves. Then we used No. 3 a Half-Tone for the background. Sim-liar tones used on both of these designs No.'s 276-7, but note the difference in effect. Draw 4 squares two inches wide, underneath each square number 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively. In each square draw a circle slightly smaller so the circle does not touch the inside area lines of the square. Then inside the circle draw a smaller square without touching the circle. You now have 4 designs, each having a large square, a circle and a smaller In our work which is to he reproduced and printed in one colour, BLACK, we may use a variety of tones by the mixture of BLACK and WHITE paint. This requires the making of what is known as a half-tone cut or engraving, such as is used to print in the newspapers photographs of prominent men and women. If you look carefully at a half-tone cut reproduction in a newspaper you will find a series of dots. These dots vary in size and that is what produces the various tones in the reproduction of one colour printing. - That is the reason why an artist has to resort to the mixture of Black and White paint in order to get the intermediate tones, between black and white on painted tone drawings. The explanations given in this lesson are in response to letters inquiring about the difference between Black and White tones produced with the pen or pencil, and these produced from painting with brush Fun f Unspoiled LAURA WHEELER CLEVERLY COMBINES STYLE WITH SIMPLE STITCHES for the storm "to pass on before going on with their i tion.

The little hat has a brim rolled tight in the back and sweeping out straight in front--Paris calls this "the clerical type," and most becoming it is! The matching purse, of novel shape, is worked in the same combination of plain crochet and puff stitch, while its handle repeats the corded band of the hat.

GOLDEN TEXT -- The people had a mind to work. -- Nehemiah 4:6. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING TIME. -- All the events recorded in the first seven chapters of the book of Nehemiah took place within a period of one year, 445-444 B.C. PLACE. -- Susa, the ancient capi-tay of Persia, the winter residence of Artaxerxes, about eightly miles .east of the Tigris River: and the city of Jerusalem. "So we built the wall." This phrase . can almost be called a piece of quiet humor. Nothing could stop these people. God was there. The king's decree was in their midst, "And all the wall was joined together unto half the height thereof: for the people had a mind t0 work. ' But it came to pass that, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the abians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the repairing of the walls of Jerusalem went ward, and that the breaches began to ne stopped, then they were very wroth." In most editions of the Hebrew Bible, this is the first verse oi the fourth chapter. Here we have a complete list of the foes of Jerusalem. Here we find the anger of these opponents reaching its highest pitch. "And they conspired all of them to-<e< sir to come and fight against Jerusalem, and to cause confusion therein." The sudden arrival of hostile forces outside Jerusalem did certainly cause confusion. "But we made our prayer unto our God." Note here the plural pronouns. Hitherto there had been a melancholy solitariness about the earnest devotion of Nehemiah. The success of his misson began to show itself when the -citizens began to participate in the same spirit of devotion. "And set a watch against them day and night, because of them." Certainly prayer did not make these people carelss. Men who first speak t0 God and manifest dependence upon him are generally found to he those who make the wisest use of every available mi'! honorable source for bringing ab.vut those things concerning which Co ! has revealed his will. "And it came to pass, when our' t .rmies heard that it was known im-u> us, and God had brought their counsel to nought, that we returned a'l of us to the wall, every one unto his work." God has brought the Co: :i.sel pf the enemy to nought through the precautionary measures I now taken by Nehemiah, and the enemy apparently abandoned their intention of making immediate attack. "And it came to pass from that time forth, that half of my servants wrought in the work, and half of them held the spears, the shields, and | the bows, and the coats of mail; the rulers were behind all the h of Judah." We should gather 1 this verse that only in the case of Nehemiah's personal attendants there still an insistence upon £ being carried while the work of building went on. "They that builded the wall and they that bare burdens." If we into account, the enormous size of the stones used in the building of ihe ancient walls, we may realize that the moving of the blocks and placing them in situ required a distinct class of workmen from those who removed the earth and rubbish to prepare foundations, or constructed the mounds upon which the stone- should be thrown. "Laded themselves; every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other held his weapon. And the builders, every one has his sword girded by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me." Nehemiah had kept oversight of the entire undertaking. "And I said into the nobles, and to the rulers and to the rest of the people, The work is great and large, we are separated upon the wall, far from another." "In what place soever ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us; our God will fight for us." "So we wrought in the work; and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appear-Even though Nehemiah had made elaborate plans for the defence of the city while its walls were being built, nevertheless, he had confidence that his Cod would fight for his people. (See also Ex. 15:3-6; 14:14; Dent. 1:30; 3:22; 20:4; 28:7). A Friend! What is a friend? My friend is he who laughs with me, who weeps with me; one who en-ourages, praises, rebukes; who eats hicken and turkey or bread and yater with me; who comes to me at the wedding feast, or stands heme at the grave; who listens to my hopes, my fears, my aims, my despair; who rejoices in my success; who does not despise me in my misfortunes. s), inspects her treasured ship model, a replica of a Spanish galleon, in garden of her California home.
