BLACK-DRAUGHT A GOOD LAXATIVE Style-Correct ‘Comfy’ Snow Clothes By CHERIE NICHOLAS f F YOU would be graceful, “lady of the snows,” you must be com fort-wise as well as fashion-wise. Warm and cozy but light as a feath er, the new lightweight woolens are the big news in winter sportswear this season together with a decided vogue for gay Tyrolean “picture” costumes. Wool gabardine, wool covert cloth, snow cloth and the finely knit ted snow-tested woolens are safe and happy choices, for they keep the wind at bay and are snow-shed ding and waterproof. Ideal for tailoring, they keep their lines and fit under the most strenuous cir cumstances. Be sure that your winter sports clothes are all wool, because this is the only way to be certain of adequate warmth without an ounce of extra weight to impede action. Two pair of wool socks, one short and one long enough to turn back over the tops of your ski shoes, also wool cap, scarf and gloves are advisable from a purely common sense standpoint. From a style bas is these details give opportunity to dramatize every ski and skate suit, so choose the smartest dashing items you can find—most especially of Tyrolean, Norwegian and Dal matian influence in colors and em broideries. The smiling snow enthusiast to the left in the picture is perfectly clad from both a comfort and style viewpoint. This smiling queen of wintry realms is sporting with pride a new spectator coat of weather- resistant wool, soft and fleecy as a warm woolen blanket. Swagger in cut with neck and comfortably full sleeves, it is buttoned smartly up the front in bright gold. A strik ing blanket stripe bands the sleeves and the bottom of the coat, also making the distinctive yoke set in for broad shouldered effect. Picturesquely Tyrolean in feeling is the “suspender” skating cos tume centered in the group. A cable knit sweater, in fanciful stitch, with flattering high neck is in soft white wool with matching toboggan-type cap, mittens and socks. Black wool gabardine flares in a widely pleated skating skirt and is caught at the snugly fitting waistline by decora tive woolen suspenders done in col orful and authentic Tyrolean design. To the right a classically tailored Austrian type ski suit is shown. It has a stunning, expertly tailored, double breasted gray wool gabar dine jacket. Back-belted and snug ly buckled, it stays nicely in place over high-built trousers in smooth suede-like black wool. A becom ing gabardine soft-crowned cap fits well down on the head. It is not only that modern snow clothes present an exciting variety of styles, but they are built on pro fessionally correct lines. Current collections include any number of classically tailored types with sim ple mannish effect. Styled in dark monotone shades they depend on bright accessories for color accent. Then there are the feminine outfits with emphasis on combinations of fabric and colors together with cun ningly devised details. To pink-cheeked winter sports fans now dotting ski trails and snowy hills all over the country side, crowding skating rinks or the old mill pond, it is of the utmost importance that sports clothes be snow-worthy and completely ade quate. Look to it that your snow clothes be warm and wind-resist- ant. Be sure, too, that they are freely cut for plenty of action. Be ware of gaps. Let sock upon sock, scarf and sweater added to sturdy costume, dependable slide fasteners and other strong and stout gadgets make you feel “sure” even should you find yourself head-first in a snow drift.

VEILS FOR SPRING, MILLINERY EDICT By CHERIE NICHOLAS Paris milliners are saying for spring “a veil with every hat.” And wait until you see the veils! Of course you may choose the modest little eye-screening affairs if you wish and they really are practical and will maintain their vogue the season through. However, they do not tell the whole story of veils, for in the new varieties there are most dramatic veils, some almost shoulder depth. Many tiny hats, es pecially the pill-box type, are in dividualized with clever veils, the wide mesh effects being especially good. The newer French veils also favor scrawly thread embroideries tracing fanciful patternings. Lowered Necklines Will Be Welcomed by Many Those among women of fashion that have been doing penance in wearing high unflattering necklines just to be stylish will welcome the good news that incoming dresses for spring assure a return to be coming soft lines. No longer will the throat have to be swathed in high drapes and fitted bands. The new trend is to square necks, and pointed ones also. This, together with short youthful sleeves, pre sents a very promising outlook. Gay Boutonniere A pompon chrysanthemum is the most brilliant of all boutonnieres.

LUNDQUIST, Dean of the Moody Bible Institnte of Chicago. ® Western Newspaper Uniotu Lesson for January 24 TWO MIRACLES OF MERCY LESSON TEXT—John 5:2-9; 6:8-15. GOLDEN TEXT—The same works that I do. bear witness of me. that the Father hath sent me. John 5:36. PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus Feeding Hun gry People. JUNIOR TOPIC—A Boy Who Gave Away His Lunch. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— Why Did Christ Work Miracles? YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— The Significance of Christ's Miracles. The world is looking for super men, those who can work “mira cles,” and thus afford an easy solu tion for the problems of the home and of the nation. Men are ready to marvel at and follow in almost abject submission those who prom ise riches without labor, food with out toil, short cuts to comfort and satisfaction. Often they are con tent if they only have something over which they may exclaim “Wonderfull” whether it be use ful or not. The miracles of God, through his servants and the Lord Jesus Christ, are not mere marvels or wonders. They are not for the advancement of the cause of any man or for personal glory. They are the mighty signs of an omnipotent God wrought for the good of men, for their spir itual enlightenment and as a testi mony to the one true God. The two miracles of our lesson present Jesus Christ as a Lord of merey and grace—ready to meet the needs of men. Deep and real was his compassion as his heart yearned over needy humanity It is suggested that in the study and teaching of this lesson we vary our plan somewhat and present sev en seed thoughts found in the two portions assigned. It is also urged that the context in both chapters be read with care. I. We Are Impotent Folk (John 5:2). The words well describe not only those who lay helpless about the pool of Bethesda but they fit us as well. Oh, yes, we are strong, capa ble, fearless, but only until we meet some great elemental problem. Then we see that we are indeed “a great multitude of impotent folk.” The gently falling snow stopped the undefeated Napoleon. The silent fog can paralyze a na tion. Death, sickness—who can stay their hand? n. Despair Spells Defeat (v. 7). Long familiarity with his weak ness had bred in the man with the infirmity a sense of despair. Such an attitude invites defeat. It is unbecoming to a Christian. Let us not forget in the darkest hour to “keep looking up.” HI. God Answers the Weakest Faith (v. 8). Jesus evidently saw in the man’s despairing reply a spark of faith. He who believes honors the name of God. We may need to cry “I be lieve, help thou mine unbelief,” but if we believe God will gloriously meet even our faltering faith. IV. God’s Command Empowers (w. 8, 9). Jesus told the man to “Rise—and walk”—the very thing he could not do for his thirty-eight years of life. But when the Son of God speaks to us he gives the power to respond to his command. V. Works Follow Faith (v. 9). The man arose, took up his bed, and walked: Man’s faith in God and God’s response to faith lead to man’s action on God’s command. Too many are they in the church today who have never stood up and walked for God. VI. Look to God, Not at Your Re sources (John 6:9). Humanlike, the disciples counted their money and found it was not enough to supply food for a multi tude. And then there was a boy, but he had only five barley crackers and two little fish. It almost sounds like a church-board deciding to close the cross-roads church and let the Devil have the boys and girls, because it costs too much to keep up the work. God help us to trust and go on for him. “Little is much when God is in it.” VII. Followers for Bread Not Wanted (v. 15). Those who follow Christ because of business advantage and social prestige know nothing of what it means to be a Christian. He is not a bread - making king; he is the bread of life. Essence of Prayer Prayer in its essence is not so much the expression of our desire for things at all as of our desire for God Himself. Discourtesy Discourtesy occasions not merely suffering, but sin; and Christian courtesy is a “means of grace” to all who have the happiness to re ceive it.—R. W. Dale. The Day’s Work Let us make haste to live. For every day is a new life to a wise man.—Seny.a. Grieving for Wasted Time He who knows most, grieves most for wasted time.—Dante.

Keep them in mind Linde ScujA: Rejoice In Friend's Success Allow no shadow of envy to mar the sunshine of a friend’s suc cess. He that from fear doeth good, is still more meritorious than he that doeth no good at all. The swan knows how to use its neck; that is why it is beautiful. The giraffe doesn’t and is gro tesque.
