McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, S. C., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1937 One for the Judge Policeman (to motorist)—Take it easy; don’t you see that notice, “Slow Down Here”? Motorist—Yes, officer, but I thought it was describing your vil lage.—Safe Drivers. Oil War “So and your neighbor are not on speaking term??” “No, all diplomatic relations have been suspended.” “How did it happen?” “A while back my neighbor sent me a can of oil to use on my lawn- mower when I started to cut the gra$s at 6 a. m.” “What did you do about it?” “I sent it back and told him to use it on his wife when she started to sing at 11 p. m.” SO TO SPEAK Friend—How is the help here in your laundry? Manager—Oh, I manage to wring service enough out of ’em for my pressing needs. Didn’t Impress Him A doctor said to his daughter: “Did you tell the young man that I think he’s no good?” “Yes. He said it wasn’t the first wrong diagnosis you had made.” Nothing gives a girl more nat- nral charm than a graceful car riage, says a beauty authority. But for a boy to have charm he needs a sporty coupe. Needs a Trimming Rastus—Doan you start no fight with me, man. Ah was decorated for bravery in de World war.

FOR REPLACKMENTS SPECIFY 0-1 PRE-TESTED RADIO TUBES Novel and Decorative Fastenings By CHERIE NICHOLAS I N THE present insistent demand for unique and ornate fastenings, fashion flings a new challenge into the realm of costume design. It is a challenge to which designers are responding with unbounded enthusi asm, since it pliers new avenues of adventure to creative genius. Which explains why our fall and winter apparel is being slide-fastened or buttoned, as the case may be, with a play of imagination that is fairly breathtaking. It adds to the fascination of the theme that whether the closings be with slide fasteners, which are quite the rage here as well as being highly endorsed by leading design ers in London and Paris, or with buttons so smartly positioned on the newer modes, they are that highly decorative they supply the trimming feature as well as serve in a utili tarian way. Once mere devices for fastening this and that together, buttons have passed through an evolution from which they now emerge as colorful exquisitely wrought things (often de signed by renowned artists) which vie with costume jewelry in point of ornate beauty and decorative de sign. The button industry has whole heartedly accepted catalin because being plastic it is easily machined and carved into all sorts of cun ning and lovely motifs. Best of all it brings into the field a new aurora of color which tunes charmingly into every phase of fashion. The tones and tints cover a range that extends from water-clear white to brilliant hues, also black, white or ivory and an almost endless list of pastels. The illustration shows several from among the multitudinous uses made in the present gesture to trim as well as to fasten with decorative slide-fasteners and with buttons. For the smart fitted sport coat with itc raglan sleeves and slightly flared lines accentuated with row-and-row stitchings as pictured to the left, the designer achieves a chic fasten ing with huge catalin buttons carved in an effective floral motif. (Button detail below.) See the stunning dinner gown to the right. Note how meticulously it is molded to the body and how generously it flares from just the strategic point it should flare to add queenly grace. Comes now the piece de resistance—gorgeous black catalin buttons encircled with bril liants that are used from neck to hem! Detail of this jewel-like but ton at bottom of illustration. The two models in the center are zipped in latest fashion. The slide fasteners which close the two small pockets and shirred front of the modish dress at the left center have colorful wee catalin windmill pulls (shown in detail below) that are as ornamental as costume jewelry. The sports dress to the right center flares slightly with tucked umbrella skirt. The siide fastener with three bright colored catalin pulls goes zip! with a flash and a dash from neck to several inches below the waistline at the back. Other models in this class use slide-fasteners with small bright catalin plaques attached to the slide several inches apart. £> Western Newspaper Union. VOGUISH BELTS By CHERIE NICHOLAS Attention is centered on belts this season. Just any belt won’t do. The American designer, Belmo, has created a belt for every occasion, two of which are here illustrated. Worn with a black velvet cocktail frock the belt illustrated at the top contributes the final touch of per fection. In outlining this shapely belt which is of black suede, with small gold kid flowers, the artist de signer adds a glittering touch to the corselet waistline trend. It is read ily seen, glimpsing the girl in sports attire, that the new belt modes add zest to any costume, particularly the sweater and suit combination, favorite of the younger generation. In this instance overlapping suede leaves riveted with metal eyelets tune to tailored and sportswear mood. Harmonious shades of gray, green, wine and rust make it pos sible for this multi-leaf belt to blend with several outfits. AFTERNOON WINTER SUIT IS HIGH NOTE The afternoon suit is one of the triumphs of Paris couturiers for the winter season, and each has pre sented his version of the new sil houette in handsome tailleurs of rich materials and luxurious furs. Broadcloth and duvetyn are the newest of dressy suit materials with velvet and lightweight wools popu lar at all leading fashion houses. Silver and black fox form immense collars, trim sleeves and hemlines and edge the bottoms of long jack ets. Persian lamb, a favorite for coat trim, makes collars, cuffs, vests, and even buttons—and smooth broadtail and silky caracul are used for tailored collars and pockets. Plaid for Dress, Blouse Suit and Coat Is Latest Plaids are telling a fascinating story. You’ll be wanting a two- piece tailored jacket suit. They give that new-this-season look, besides the plaids that are being man- tailored are that colorful and flatter ing they are simply irresistible. A dress of plaid woolen made on the bias and adhering to form-fitting lines will prove a treasure in any wardrobe for practical day wear. Then, to wear to the ball game, a huge roomy coat of horse-blanket plaid as bizarre as they make ’em will be a cheer leader in itself. Enliven Black Costumes With Bright Accessories The call for black with colorful ac cessories is answered in the present vogue for black costumes enlivened with red accessories. The latest in terpretation of the black and red color scheme is given by smart dressed women who wear red suede hats and carry handbags to match. This combination sets a black suit or ensemble off to perfection. And there’s the new red suede gloves they’re wearing with black. You will yield to temptation when you see them. A red boutonniere adds in finitely to this allure. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson By REV. HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, Dean of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. G Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for November 21 CHRISTIAN WORKERS LESSON TEXT—I Corinthians 3:10-13; Galatians 6:6-10. GOLDEN TEXT—And let us not be weary In well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.—Galatians 6:9. PRIMARY TOPIC—In Our Church. JUNIOR TOPIC—What Can I Do to Help? INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— What Can I Do for Christ and the Church? YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— The Need for Christian Workers. “Laborers together with God”— such is the glorious and distinctive title of true Christians, according to the verse just preceding our as signed text. Unfortunate is the all too common error of regarding only pastors and missionaries as the workers in God’s vineyard. While we recognize that there is a special calling for some men to leave their vocations and devote their entire time to the Lord’s work, let us be sure properly to stress the impor tance of every Christian’s being a worker for God. The portions assigned for our study present the privilege and re sponsibility of Christians as fellow- workers with Christ, under the fig ures of builders and of seed sowers. I. Builders of the House (I Cor. 3:10-15). The first requisite of a building is a foundation and it must be strong and true. Builders for Christ have a sure foundation stone in Him. 1. The Foundation—Jesus Christ. There is only definite assurance in Paul’s word concerning the foun dation. It is perfectly clear to him that there can be no Christian faith without Jesus Christ. Such a state ment sounds almost childish. One might well assume that no intelli gent person would claim to be one of God’s builders, and reject his foundation stone. But, alas, many are they who claim to be Christians, who profess to be raising a structure of Christian life and testimony, but who have set aside the only possible foundation on which to build. 2. The Master Builder—and his builders. Paul was a pioneer. He declares his ambition and calling to be “to preach the gospel not where Christ was named, lest I should build on another man’s foundation” (Rom. 10:25). Such a privilege does not come to all men, but let those who thus serve learn of this “wise mas ter builder” that they may lay only one foundation—Jesus Christ. “Let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.” It is a serious matter to serve the Lord as a build er, for it is possible to go badly astray at this point as well as in laying the foundation. 3. The materials—good and bad. Whether we apply Paul’s words to the building of our personal spiritual life or to the work we do in the church they are equally serious and urgent. “The day”—when Christ re turns, and we shall stand before him to give account of the deeds done in the flesh—will reveal by flaming fire whether we have been faithful, true and diligent in preach ing God’s Word, in prayer, in sac rificial service for Christ, or have sought to introduce into our lives and into the churches we serve the “wood, hay, and stubble” of unspir itual schemes, neglect of God’s Word, prayerlessness. Saved? Yes, but entering into God’s presence as a man who has escaped from his burning house with nothing but his life. II. Sowers of the Seed (Gal. 6:6- 10). The figure changes. No longer are we builders—but rather sowers of seed. Would that it were all good seed that were sown—but we see the sowing to the flesh as well as to the Spirit. This is true 1. In our own lives. The inexora ble law of sowing and reaping pre vails in the moral realm as truly as it does in the physical. Men who would never expect wheat to grow where they have planted thistles, seem to expect that they may sow in their own lives the seeds of selfish indulgence, of careless neglect of the things of God, and still somehow reap the fruit of good character and noble living. 2. In the lives of others. We may be tempted to take attractive by paths and short-cuts to win the in terest and allegiance of men to our selves and the church, but they will prove to bring but corruption and destruction. Spiritual seed will al ways produce spiritual life. 3. Waiting for the harvest. Har vest must be patiently awaited. We know it to be so in natural things; the same is true in the spiritual realm. A Message of Love One of the last slowly murmured sayings of the American poet Whit tier, as he lay a-dying, was this; “Give—my love—to—the—world.” Worth-Whilo Living Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.— Isaiah 1-17. Haste Unreasonable haste is the direct road to error.—Moliere. The Newest In Miniature S EW-YOUR-OWN presents a house frock with the heart to be up and doing, no matter how busy you are, how old you are, or how many calories you’ve forgot ten to keep count of. Sew-Your- Own also presents the first doll with a heart (the picture proves it). And lastly it presents a frock with a love interest for a Modern Miss, something usually confined to the movies. Ideal for Home. Sew-Your-Own always has had a soft spot in its heart for the Lady of the Fireside, she who cooks and bakes and sews and keeps everything right. Today’s house frock for her (above left) is as neat and sweet as anyone could wish. The collar in contrast and the saw tooth edging piped to match, make that difference be tween this dress and run-of-tne- mili. Of course, it’s easy to run up and practically no trouble at all to launder. Better make two! A Doll—a Dress. The little lady in the center, above, knows her heart’s in the right place because Mommy put it there. Dolly Dimples is her swell little playmate and her heart’s in the right place, too. Ask your Mommy to send for Pattern 1203 and you’ll have a great big surprise in store. Yes siree! Her Heart Unattached. Maybe Miss Svelt Seventeen (above right) wears her heart on her sleeve, or maybe she keeps it locked in a refrigerator. Who can tell? But this you can tell: she knows style. She’s good to her figure! Her frock, an original Sew- Your-Own design, gives her real distinction — that different-in-the- right-way look. It is the ultimate in chic in rayon crepe with a satin waist front. The Patterns.
