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.

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.

CHOICES AND THEIR CONSE
QUENCES IN A NATION’S LIFE
LESSON TEXT—Deuteronomy 11:8-12, 26-
32.
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—

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.
In the Silent Watches
While alone and in silence, man
can commune with himself.—Van
Amburgh.
Flood of Ambition
Ambition like a torrent never
looks back.

How long should a quart of oil last?
No one can answer that question
specifically because driving habits
differ. But there is one thing certain
... you will go farther with Quaker
State because it gives you “an extra

of Quaker State by making the “First

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.—
