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

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.

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.

chool Lesson
By REV. HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST,
Dean of the Moody Bible Institute
of Chicago.

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.
