Pooches in the Picture Parade
T^HERE are “blue bloods’* in the
canine world, just as there are
blue bloods '*n the human world, and
some of the blue bloods among the
pups are ju£t as funny-looking as
some of the blue bloods that walk
erect on two legs. This parade of
champions from many scattered
dog-shows i® offered in proof.
But no matter how he looks, it is
true that the dog is man’s best
friend, and anyone who has ever
owned a dog, whether it be cur or
champion, will agree. Some of us
may not agree that others choose
the type of four-footed friends that
we would choose, but aren’t we the
same way when it comes to choos
ing two-legged companions?
A gloomy Gus is this doleful
bloodhound,, but he shouldn’t be
—he’s a champ: “Brigadier of
Reynalton.’’
The ultimate in lap dogs is the chihuahua. Here Champion Cecilee of
Etty Haven, who weighs only 1 % pounds and has a sleeping suit and spe
cially-built glass house, surveys a few of her laurels. Tiny as they are,
the diminutive chihuahuas are always one of the “biggest’’ attractions of
the dog show.
Pugnacious in appearance,
but an old “softie” at heart,
is the champion English
bull-dog at the left. Even
“Thein’s Rio Rita,” the
champ chihuahua below,
could give him a battle.

What a food bill when these nine Great Dane puppies start to growl
“Studies in the Christian Life.”
What an attractive title, and what
Interesting and instructive studies
we are to share during the com
ing three months!
When setting out on a journey we
want to know just where we are
going. Just so when we take up a
new study we need to define the
limits of our subject. We are to
study the Christian life—not life in
general, not religious life, no, not
even life in a Christian land or dur
ing the Christian era. It is there
fore most appropriate that our first
lesson in this series should tell us
who the Christian is and how he
lives.
I. God’s Children—Who They Are
(vv. 1-6).
1. They are “Born ones” (v. 1).
The Revised Version correctly
translates “sons” as “children.” We
are sons in our position, but we
are children by the new birth. A
man may attain the legal relation
ship of a son by adoption, but he
can be a child only by birth.
2. They are separated ones (v. 1).
The world, that is, unregenerate
man, does not belong to this family
of God. How hard it is for even
church people to understand that
fact. They do not appreciate and
cannot understand God’s children,
because they themselves do not
know God.
3. They are glorified ones (v. 2).
“We shall be like him for we shall
see him as he is.” What a glorious
hope, realized even now by faith in
the hearts and lives of God’s chil
dren. The present difference be
tween God’s children and the world
is to become even greater, for in
that day when Christ “shall appear”
(for he is coming again!) God’s
children shall be like him. Spiritu
ally and morally—yes, and even
their bodies shall be transformed.
4. They are purified ones (w. 3-6).
The standard whereby the Christian
measures his life is the purity of
Christ. The question is not “How
much purer am I than my friends
and acquaintances?” No, the norm
for the Christian life is far higher,
we are to be purified as “he is
pure.”
All sin is a disregard of God’s
law (v. 4). His children do not
thus defy Him. They have taken as
their Saviour the one “who was
manifested to take away sins.”
There was no sin in him, and the
one who abides in him has victory
and does not live in ski. He may
fall into some act of sin, but in ut
ter misery and repentance he turns
from it to his Deliverer.
- II. God’s Children—How They
Live (w. 18-24).
Love is the supreme test of Chris
tian profession. “We know we have
passed out of death into life, be
cause we love the brethren,” says
John in v. 14 (R. V.). How far
should love go? “We ought to lay
down our lives for the brethren”
(v. 16).
Such a sacrifice is not often de
manded of us, but the writer goes
on to say that we may show that
spirit in daily service to those in
need. *
1. In loving and sacrificial serv
ice (v. 18). Words may comfort and
strengthen, especially when they
are words of love. Love does not
stop with words, however, but acts,
reflecting the spirit of God, who not
only is good, but does good.
2. In the assurance of faith (w.
19-21). Assurance is the blessed
privilege of the child of God. Well
may we -feel condemned when we
measure our lives by his divine
tests. But after all, even “if oui
heart condemn us, God is greater
than our heart.” Salvation does not
depend on either our works or our
feelings. It is of God. Does this
condone sin? God forbid. We are
rather so to walk that “our heart
condemn "e not.”
3. In unquestioning obedience (w.
22-24). The hallmark of character
in a child is obedience. Scripture
does not countenance the unfortu
nate standards of men on this point.
The children of God “keep his com
mandments” which are beautifully
summed up in v. 23 as believing
in Christ and loving one another.
Divine Purpose
What is it after all which gives
men the energy to do things seem
ingly impossible? It is, and always
has been, the result of the divine
purpose.
Bond of Perfectness
And above all these things put
on charity, which is the bond of
perfectness.
Honesty the Best Policy
Unimpaired integrity is an in
comparable asset.
Plaids Outstanding in Fall Modes

plaid in her fall ward- L
robe simply is not “in
it” when it comes ’to swank in
dress. There’s no doubt about it,
colorful, youthful practical plaids fit
into the campus, the office and the
great outdoor scheme of things sim
ply perfect.
All sorts of plaids are on the au
tumn fabric list from high-tone
dressy plaids of silk velvet and
handsome wool weaves down to the
most utilitarian, practical, washable
types—the kind that go bicycling
along dusty roads and then come
out “fresh as a daisy” after each
tubbing.
Bicycling is a fad so important
nowadays designers recognize they
must create fashions tuned to the
sport. The new sturdy washable
plaids are proving most likable for
outfits of this sort. The girl on the
“bike” as shown in the group illus
trated is fashionably and sensibly
frocked in a dependable completely
shrunk washable plaid that gives
this rider the look of being keenly
style-minded.
The schoolgirl centered in the
picture is likewise alertly fashion
conscious in that she also selects
plaid for her voguish blouse, and
it’s safe to say she will be getting a
lot of wear out of it besides enjoy
ing that feeling of confidence it
brings to be appropriately clad for
*he occasion.
Another way to subscribe to the
plaid rage that is now featuring in
every phase of fashion is to wear
a true clan plaid skirt and necker
chief with your new fall sweater as
shown to the right in the group.

V.V.V.-. ■. •.
This most commendable outfit is
sure to prove an inspiration to the
schoolgirl. It was shown at a re
cent fall style clinic held in the
Merchandise Mart in Chicago.
Viewing the new fall fabrics one
becomes fully convinced that plaids
as a fashion “must” are definitely
here. It is interesting to note that
the more classic plaids are labeled
each with its clan name. Also the
many smart ways to wear plaids
makes them all the more intriguing.
In enrolling as a plaid enthusiast
we suggest that you line your jacket
to match your plaid blouse, or wear
a plaid dress matched to the lining
of your coat, or top a pleated plaid
skirt with a bright velveteen jacket,
or enliven your fur coat or your
fleece coat with a stunning plaid lin
ing. They are showing in the stores
daring coats in forest green; radiant
autumn browns, and the very new
deep sapphire blue with bold plaid
linings in giddy contrast.
Plaid velvet dresses to wear un
der fur coats is another outcome of
the present craze for plaids. You
can also find cunning jackets of
plaid velveteen. Some are bolero
versions with plaid belts to match.
If it is just a touch of plaid you
favor, buy a dozen or so of the
new plaid composition buttons and
let them go marching down the
front of your dark velveteen dress
or coat. You can get all sorts of
plaid accessories. There are en
sembles of beret, bag and belt.
There are belt and triangle-scarf
sets to be had in plaid.

FASHION STRESSES
FABRIC ELEGANCE
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
Fabrics play a most important
part this year, and by their rich
ness explain the apparent simplicity
of the styles which are the great
est challenge to the dressmaker.
Velvets, lames, brocades, laces,
tulles are all in the picture.
Lace becomes a happy medium
for day dresses, almost severe in
their simplicity. These may be re
lieved by rich belts, patent trim
mings, etc. Lighter laces in silk or
rayon are combined with a colored
fabric lining for day dresses or two
tones used in combination as Worth
has done. Lelong takes a heavy
white wool lace for a hip-length
top of a dress which ends in a sim
ple black velvet skirt, with four
rows of the velvet used at the side
front from the high waistline to the
hip. Patou offers rosepoint collars,
cuff or bodice trim with severe
dresses—but real rose point. Schiap
arelli makes lace of gold cord for
three huge medallions on the top
per of a two-piece effect black maro-
cain. While dresses are simple in
effect, fantasy goes into the head-
gear.
Style Sobriety Stressed
for Chic Daytime Costume
At the height of the vogue for ro
mantic fashions, mutinous mur
murs are echoing from the ranks of
style leaders who favor simple gar
ments for wear before the sun goes
down.
“Sobriety of the best quality” is
the formula advanced by a leading
French couturiere as the prime req
uisite of daytime chic.
“W-sar tailored suits and little
sweaters,” she advises, “but have
them fitted by a good tailor and
made of the finest wool. See that
each accessory is equally first
grade, for one inappropriate gadget
can spoil the entire costume.”
BE PENCIL-SLIM

This afternoon frock of purple silk
jacquard was worn in a fashion pre
view for the silk parade held in
New York which presented out
standing advance fashions created
by the foremost designers of the
world. To be right up to the mark
your new frock must feature the
pencil-slim silhouette that fashion
demands this season, such as this
gown so correctly defines. The hand
some firm silks of quality kind that
are so characteristically a product
of this season’s looms have beer
found ideal for achieving the nev
pencil-slim styling.

How
Constipation
Causes Gas,
Nerve Pressure
When you are constipated two things hap
pen. FIRST: Wastes swell up the bowels and
press on nerves in the digestive tract. This
nerve pressure causee headaches, a dull, l&xy
feeling, bilious spells, loss of appetite atu* dii-
siness. SECOND: Partly digested food starts
to decay forming GAS, bringing on sour
stomach (acid indigestion), and nearthum,
bloating you up until you sometimes gasp for
breath.
Then you spend many miserable days. You
can’t eat. You can't sleep. Your stomach is
sour. You feel tired out, grouchy and miser
able.
To get the complete relief you seek you
must do TWO things. 1. You must relieve
the GAS. 2. You must clear the bo web and
GET THAT PRESSURE OFF THE
NERVES. As soon as offending wast«s are
washed out you feel marvelously refreshed,
blues vanish, the world looks bright again.
There is only one product on the market
that gives you the DOUBLE ACTION you
need. It is ADLERIKA. This efficient car
minative cathartic relieves that awful GAS
at once. It often removes bowel congestion
in half an hour. No waiting for overnight
relief. Adlerika acts on the stomach and both
bowels. Ordinary laxatives act on the lower
bowel only.
Adlerika haa been recommended by many
doctors and druggists for 35 years. No grip
ing, no after effects. Just QUICK results.
Try Adlerika today. You’ll say you have
never used such an efficient intestinal cleanser.
