McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, S. C., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1937 Silks Are Most Sumptuous This Fall *•*•"•* IMPRQYED J UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL By CHBRIE NICHOLAS T HE fourth annual silk parade is on in country-wide pageantry and during this time your favorite stores will have an unusually wide selection of silk merchandise and the smartest new silk fabrics. Plan to do your shopping for your fall wardrobe at that time when the highlights of the season will be available. For the important evening wrap, silk and metal brocades in quaint ly beautiful colorings or exotic tones are in high favor. These are often elaborate in texture and include self and metal faconne as well as ex quisitely colorful metal brocaded flowers. For a floating full-skirted frock, silk and metal marquisette that reminds of oriental sheers that veiled harem beauties, is new this season. The queenly figure descending the stairs to the right in the picture is gowned in one of the opulent new silks. It is a black satin with self and metal faconne in a leaf pat tern. Here is a perfect demonstra tion of the new trend toward styling the gown with *that utmost sim plicity that ignores any suggestion of trimming in order the more to play up the superbness of the fab ric. It is interesting to note the gloves milady wears in that the cuffs are finished with bands of glit tering sequins that match perfectly. For evening there is nothing more breath taking than the colorful lac quer-printed silk satins. These fea ture flowers, geometries, Indian and Persian designs, and they are very new and important. See to the left in the picture how dramatically printed satin of the glamorous type drapes to the figure. Describing the swatches of hand some silks shown in the insets be low, the one to the left is a multi color stamp printed silk satin for evening. It will prove charming for a short-skirted young dance frock. It is also the type of silk that makes a fetching deep girdle for a black velvet dress—which is one thing about these more elegant silks: if your allowance does not permit buy ing yards and yards just a mere dash of them used in a trimming way on a monotone frock will give it an aristocratic air. To the right is a black silk satin with self and metal faconne richly interwoven into a leaf pattern. It ranks high among silks that are done in a grand manner. Centered in the trio of insets is a black faille with silver metal band ings, suitable for trimmings, blouses, dinner gown or evening jackets. © Western Newspaper Union. LEATHER TIE-BELT By CHERIE NICHOLAS This very good looking fall coat in bold herringbone patterned soft wool in natural beige has a notched collar of beaver and a wide crush belt of brown leather with fringed ends, each of which is a distinctive feature. The collaring of cloth coats with handsome fur is one of fash ion’s rtbst notable styling features this fall, while the use of leather in numberless trimming ways, es pecially for smart girdles, is one of the highest highlights of the mode this season. You can vision for your self the swank that a leather tie- girdle as pictured will give to coats made of cloth. The broad shoulders are also good points in the styling of the coat pictured. SMART FROCKS USE LAVISH EMBROIDERY A craze for embroidery is on. Some of the smartest newest wool ens for daytime frocks and for the stylish little separate jackets and bo leros and for waistcoats and blouses are embroidered with an allover scattering of tiny motifs or perhaps with florals arranged in the popular striped effects. Knitted fashions also reflect the flair for embroidery in that they carry flowers and designs done in bright yarns showing peasant influ ence. The black dress that has a gor geous bouquet embroidered like a corsage at either the waistline or shoulder is a winsome number. Any woman who can embroider could be the happy possessor of a fetching dress like this for to “embroider your own” requires but little effort. Evening fashions fairly scintillate with dazzling embroideries. Short sleeves, allover sequin-embroidered, enrich black velvet dinner gowns. Embroidery is done on lace on tulle, on velvet ribbons that girdle the waist and so on and so on the story of embroidery is endless this season. Even the simplest linen, cotton or wool day dress is apt to yield to the present urge for hand stitchery of some fanciful sort. Youthful Effect Stressed in New Wedding Clothes The extremely youthful trend of this season’s clothes has had its ef fect on wedding gowns. The most recent Paris brides have been dressed in demure creations of white mousseline or organdie which greatly resemble the frocks worn by French children for their first communion. Instead of the halo head veils or the conventional wreaths of orange blossoms, lilies of the valley or camelias, the dressmakers are us ing little round caps of tulle with a long floating veil attached just ir back. Roomy Jackets A gray velveteen jacket with full ness at the front is smart over a pencil-slim wool dress in matching gray. S UNDAY I chool Lesson By REV. HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST.

GOLDEN TEXT—Choose you this day whorfi ye will serve.—Joshua 24:13. PRIMARY TOPIC—Our Country. JUNIOR TOPIC—Choosing Sides. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— The Importance of Our Choices. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— «m- 4- tv/t«L-iv*cr TTv> tVu» ’MatiniVs JVTind. Nations as well as individuals are responsible before God for the man ner in which they live. They enjoy the blessings of right living and suffer the penalty of wrong moral choices. While it is true that na tional leaders may not always re flect the true character of the peo ple, it is generally true that there is a sort of national character which over a longer period of time accu rately represents the moral condi tion of the people as a whole. Many earnest men and women be lieve that the United States of America stands today at the cross roads of national moral decision. There has been an unquestionable decadence of true religion, of home life, of social purity, and a growth of moral indifference and outright wickedness which causes men who think to cry out for a revival of old- fashioned spiritual and moral stand ards ere it be too late. The most effective, and in fact the only really effective way to bring that about, is a revival within the church of Christ, and a resultant renewal of its service 1 in winning men to Jesus Christ as their Saviour and Lord. A 24-page booklet “Lessons in Soul- Winning,” by Dr. Will H. Houghton, will be sent by the writer without charge to those requesting it. If possible enclose a 3 cent stamp. I. Right Choices Result in Blessing (w. 8, 9). Making the right choice is in fact a simple matter, for it means only obedience to God’s commandments. God is the author of the moral law. He alone can and does deter mine what is right and wrong. Man need not determine, nor is he equipped to decide that question. He can and must relate the details of his life to the law of God. How im portant it is then that he properly understand that law, and what folly it is to neglect the study of God’s Word, where the commandments of God are made known unto men. Choosing God’s way means for both men and the nations which they make up (for my country is in the final analysis myself, and other individuals like me) the assurance of God’s blessing and prosperity. II. God Encourages Right Choices (w. 10-12). Our God is the great and untiring “giver of every good and perfect gift.” We need but to lift up our eyes and look at His handiwork, or stir up our memories to recall his goodness, and we know that he and all his blessed works encour age us to do right—to live right. But, alas, all too often God’s choicest gifts are perverted and are used to bring the very opposite re sult. The most beautiful lakes and naturally delightful surroundings are used for resorts and clubs which all too often lead men to moral de struction. Parents almost fear that their daughters may be too attrac tive, for the world, the flesh, and the devil are constantly out “scout ing” for beautiful women whose very God-given beauty may be used to glorify sin and lead others into disobedience to God. IH. Right and Wrong Are Funda mental and Eternal (w. 26-32). It needs to be repeated over and over again in these callous and in different days that there is laid down in the very constitution of the entire universe a moral distinction between right and wrong. Right is always right, and wrong is defi nitely and eternally wrong. There is no moral twilight zone, where things are neither white nor black, but a neutral gray. Note that the difference between right and wrong was to be the same “on the other side of the Jordan.” Time and place have no power to change moral law. What was right or wrong for your great-grandfather is right or wrong for you. What was right in your home on the farm is right in the city where you now live, or vice-versa. The passing of the years or a change of residence does not alter that law of God. May God help the people of our nation, and all the countries of the earth, to remember that it is still true that “righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people” (Prov. 14:34). A Season To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven; a time to be born, and a time to die.—Ecclesiastes 3:1, 2.

Early State Names If President Thomas Jefferson had had his say-so, there would have been more than the' present states comprising the Northwest Territory and most of their names would have been tongue twisters. As you know, the Northwest Territory consists of Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin and part of Minnesota, but Jefferson’s suggested names were Sylvania, Cheronesus, Michigania, Assem- sipia, Metropotamia, Illinoia, Sar atoga, Washington, Polypotamia and Pelisipia. These names can be found on the early maps.— Cleveland Plain Dealer.
