Abstract
The symmetric group on 4 letters has the reflection group D3 as an isomorphic image. This fact follows from the coincidence of the root systems A3 and D3. The isomorphism is used to construct an orthogonal basis of polynomials of 4 variables with 2 parameters. There is an associated quantum Calogero-Sutherland model of 4 identical particles on the line.

Key words: nonsymmetric Jack polynomials.
