Unrestrained Colors Provide Clothes Magnetism A glorious lack of restraint marks the colors of Spring. Since in the mam, trimmings are un derplayed, gay colors play a dou ble part in both flattery and magnetism. This spring women will wear colors that were pre viously limited to the more friv olous accessories such as ascots and hankies. Tweed colors are myriad in clear randoms that include the entire spectrum. Many of the popular slubbed and novelty fab rics feature metallic threads. Woven, overlaid, embroidered and printed stripes often show a second color. Cross weaves offer great color interest. The newest color group around is the entire range of mauves, from pink through mulberry tones. Blue takes a purple cast for a hydrangea hue which promises to be a favortie in both pale and deep shades. Navy, of course, retains a strong position in the 1955 picture; but will have to share its dominance with many rival blues. Yellow is newly important, looking pale and fresh in daffo dil-pineapple tints. Gold con tributes strongly to the print and brocade line-up, and many yellows make pleasing grounds for printed fashions. Crisp, clean greens achieve a feeling of spring in many cate gories of styles from cocktail cottons to active sportswear. Although green hues appear mostly as prints on related back grounds or as specks in random tweeds, there is enough all-green to be worth notice. Convertible Suits Lead Double Life Making a welcome return for spring is the suit with two pairs of pants — with a difference. These suits, called “convertibles” or “threesomes,” have the con ventional coat and one pair of matching trousers. The second pair comes in another color and usually in a different weave. This combination allows the coat and matching trousers to be worn as a business suit. The coat and odd trousers supply the owner with a tasteful outfit for leisure wear. The coat may also be worn with walking shorts or with the gray flannel trousers many prefer with sport coats.

Sportswear For Spring Is Colorful As more and more men enjoy lengthened hours of leisure, sports wear looms ever larger in the fashion picture. This spring the man who wishes to round out and up-date his casual war drobe can choose from a com pletely new range of clear, clean colors, new- fabrics and a sharply changed group of designs adapt ed to specific sports and leisure activities. The new sport coats feature lighter weights in wool and man made fiber blends, tweeds and shetlands in herringbones, checks, fiberene effects, nubs and slubs. Many coat fabrics combine col or patterns with weave or tex ture patterns. Deep shades re lieved by bright color accents are among the style leaders. Popular combinations are black and pink, black and helio, cognac and deep brown. Stylewise, the single-breasted, two-button sport coat continues to lead, although the three-but- tton % model is gaining ground, es pecially among younger men. Both patch and flap pockets'are shown in the new sport coats. Pink Is Important Pink is an important new pas tel in sport coats and slacks. Light-weight worsted wool gab ardine slacks in pink are another instance of this color’s new popu larity. They are intended to be worn with sport coats of colors other than pink. Other favored colors in slacks to go with dark colored jackets are yellow, mint green and helio. Slacks in lightweight flannel, w’ool and blends with Orion, gabardine and covert are shown in solids, subdued -checks, twill weaves, slubs and nubs. The new slacks are pleatless with black buckle and strap. The trend is to trim, tapered lines. The new blouse-type jackets for spring have adopted an en tirely new tone. Colors are the brightest ever shown and novel ty prints are solidly entrenched Almost any pastel color that can be named is being used—pink, helio, light blue, mint green, orange shades on the rust side, sognac and sandy yellows. Ohe of the most successful of the novelty patterns is achieved by the flocking treatment (flocks of wool or rayon applied to a fab ric rather than woven into it). GOD a£ kofH e ' God is everywhere! And yet we speak of a church as God’s House. Well, man is everywhere. His planes soar above the clouds, his mines tunnel through the earth, his rails span mountains and plains, his ships ply the seven seas. And yet, every man cherishes the one place he calls home. He cherishes it not for its location or appearance, but for the love and companionship he has experienced there. In similar spirit man has thought it no blasphemy to call each church the House of God. For He Who made man in His own image must feel the same im-i pelling attraction for the scene of His communion with those He loves. * The greatest honor you can be stow on a friend is to invite him into your home. Each hour of wor ship God invites you into His. i A H '■-yy.y Wm. church FOR Alt Th. cX church strong Church, neither dr i Irrlj rdU#a - WkouTS con survive.
