It is not only that each is a “picture” in its bright colors and cunning details, but when it comes to being practical and protective from the elements and snugly “comfy” at all times, as fond mothers insist must be, designers have so pains takingly equipped outfits for the younger generation with “all mod em improvements,” cruel winds, wet-wet rain, dancing snow flurries, not even Jack Frost himself have even a ghost of a chance to get in. As pictures speak more eloquently than all the adjectives that might be penned, let’s jpok to our illus tration for enlightenment as to what leading designers are turning out in way of children’s cold-weather suits for now and the winter to be. Here we see three cupning, and as thoroughly practical as they are at tractive, ensembles that all but “stole the show” as the little girls who modeled them came stepping down the runway at a children’s style clinic which was held in the Merchandise Mart of Chicago a short time ago, before a vast audi ence of visiting merchants. To the fond mother who delights in seeing little daughter look as if she had just stepped out of a fashion plate, the clever ballerina-back leg ging suit pictured to the left will prove a real find. It is one of the newest models and forecasts what the fashionable little miss will wear through the winter. Of handsome Copenhagen blue sturdy woolen coating it is styled in a novel man ner of seeming to achieve a clever ballet flare. The suit has a beaver collar which, of course, will make a hit with any little girl, and crown ing glory over all, it has a matching hat with fur trim. The zipped leggings offer every protection from wind and cold. Dewberry (a new shade this sea son) is the color featured in the voguish fitted coachman-style coat to the right. Here is a type that will make best-dressed little girls look even better dressed for it car ries an air of distinction in its every detail. Has a cape too, and when little daughter’s friends see that cape they will be imploring mother to buy them one. An adorable outfit made of a maize-colored wool of caressing softness costumes the little snow queen centered in the group. She looks just that, what with the fluffy snow-white angora edgings that trim bonnet, coat and muff. Yes, there’s a little matching muff as you can see and with what pride and glee the fortunate wearer will call her admirers’ attention to this pre cious possession. And to fill the cup of joy full to overflowing there are dainty little sprays of flowers hand- embroidered in the sweetest col ors on the yoke and on the wee muff and on the very flattering matching bonnet. And, by the way, since cunning winter ensembles for little folks is our theme, if there be a doting rela tive that longs to bestow upon your child a grand Christmas gift why not just throw a gentle hint to him or her in regard to the fur coat, muff and hat ensembles that are so pridefully shown in this season’s juvenile apparel shops and depart ments. Or if you are thinking in terms of practical school or play time clothes why not one of the pret ty sweater and suede jerkin sets that come in such attractive color ings? Or a dressier threesome con sisting of velveteen hat, coat and legging set, for legging sets are the big idea this season. © Western Newspaper Union. SHIRRED VELVET By CHERIE NICHOLAS Not too much or too little, but just right, is this charming frock of velvet. It is in the new "don’t dress for dinner” length, correct for bridge club wear or matinee date and then on in to the evening. Soft baby doeskin gloves in plaster pink blend beautifully with the warm winey tones of the velvet. The styling of the gown typifies a lead ing trend, in that the velvet is muchly shirred and a corselet waist line is accented. Brilliant clips add the glittering note which fashion deems imperative this season. For Afternoon Afternoon blouses for winter are apt to have band or draped collars and back closings. Sleeves are long, and most of them are of the plain, tight variety. NEW BAGS ARE GAY IN CARVED HANDLES By CHERIE NICHOLAS Suede antelope “mam’selle” hand bag trimmed with catalin. Like oth er items in the fashion category such as apparel, jewelry, hats and even shoes, handbags now have ac quired distinctive names indicative of the types they are designed to please. Mam’selle bags, which are now being shown in many shops in black, brown, burgundy and other colors, with carved catalin handles or decorations, are generally jaunty in type but not gaudy and as their names indicate, made especially for mam’selle. Chic Little Fur Jackets Popular for Street Wear The cool late autumn days are bringing out by the scores on avenue and boulevard stunning little fur jackets of every fur almost from leopard to aristocratic Persian lamb. The boxy types prevail but there are any number of youthful bolero and waist-depth types. Gray ensembles especially are worked out with gray woolens and brief gray astrakhan jackets. Short fur capes are also very fashionable. Many women are having their coats that have served their time as such made over either into the shorter jacket or a cape. Lace Veils Now Popular for Evening Headdress Society women who attend formal affairs are taking enthusiastically to the unique fashion of wearing a charming lace veil thrown pictur esquely over the head, secured with a flower spray or feathered ornament or handsome jewel pin. The effect is enchanting. The veils are some times edged with sequins, and then again a delicate tracery of embroid ery adds to their allure. Matching Sets Leather belts and matching but tons are shown on woolen sports frocks for winter. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson By REV. HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, Dean of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. ® Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for December 5 CHRISTIAN REST LESSON TEXT—Matthew 11:23-30; He. brews 4:1-11. GOLDEN TEXT—Come unto me. all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and X will give you rest.—Matthew 11:23. PRIMARY TOPIC—When We Are Tired. JUNIOR TOPIC—Cod’s Great Invitation. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— How Christ Gives Us Rest. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— Christian Rest. “Time, like an ever-rolling stream, bears all its sons away,” so sang Isaac Watts in 1719. One won ders what he might say today! The mad rush «f modern life—its relent less drawing of us all into its terrific tempo—leaves us distraught, nerv ous, overanxious. Nervous disor ders are on a rapid increase, even among children. The condition pre vails in the country as well as in the city, although it is aggravated in metropolitan centers. Let us lay down the burdens of the universe for a bit and counsel quietly about that almost forgotten Christian virtue, rest. Nowhere can the troubled spirit find calm of soul as surely and as quickly as in God’s Word—and in the One revealed there, for true rest is I. Found in Christ (Matt. 11:28- 30). Rest for our souls is found not in the cessation of activity, but rather in joining with Christ as our yoke fellow and in going on with him in meekness and lowliness of heart. Most of life's restlessness is the re sult of pride, of driving ambition to be somebody or to attain something. True humility removes all such dis turbing factors. But we do have a yoke and a bur den to bear. Yes, it is true that not all is easy in the Christian life. But as someone has suggested, the bur dens are like the burden of feathers on a bird. They may seem to be too heavy for his little body, but as a matter of fact they are the thing he flies with! Such are the “burdens” of Christ. II. Received by Faith (Heb. 4:3). Those who believe enter into rest. Faith in God through Jesus Christ brings a man into an abiding place that the storms of life may beat upon but can never move. Fair weather followers of Jesus who fall into a frenzy of fear and worry when sorrow or loss comes upon them need to learn to walk by faith. “Be not dismayed whate’er betide, God will take care of you,” is more than the pious expression of a hymn writer, it is a statement of fact. III. Rejected by Unbelief (Heb. 4:1, d-11). “The worst thing in the world” is unbelief — because it effectually closes the door to God’s blessing. Jesus could not do “many mighty works” in his home town of Nazareth “because of their unbelief” (Matt. 13:58). Unbelief will keep us from the rest that God has prepared for his people, for it not only hinders men from coming to the Saviour, but keeps them from resting in him after they are saved. IV. Necessary to Useful Living (v. 11). Only when the follower of Christ appropriates that rest of soul which results from turning from his own efforts and trusting himself fully to Christ will there be that absolute surrender of every detail and prob lem of life to him which will bring out in daily living the glorious beau ty and power of a life at rest with God. A poem by Fay Inchfawn which has blessed the writer’s soul is here passed on, with the prayer that it may help you who read these notes: "Well, I am done. My nerves were on th* rack. I’ve laid them down today; It was the last straw broke the camel’s back. I’ve laid that down today. No, I’ll not fume, nor fuss, nor fight; I’ll walk by faith a bit and not by sight. I think the universe will work all right, I’ve laid it down today. "So, here and now, the overweight, the worry. I’ll lay it down today; The all-too-anxious heart; the tearing hurry; I’ll lay these down today. O eager hands, O feet so prone to run, I think that He who made the stars and sun Can mind the things you’ve had to leave undone. Do lay them down today.” How true it is that we are prone to bear all the burdens of the uni verse when God’s Word has told us to cast all our care upon Him, for He careth for us (I Pet. 5:7). It is a powerful testimony for Christ when distraught and worry-ridden non-Christians see God’s children walking steady and true in the midst of disappointments, trials, and sor rows. And the opposite is also true, that failure to trust God is a prac tical denial of our professed faith.

In Step With Santa Claus TT'EEPING up with the Joneses is easy—it’s keeping up with Santa Claus that has Sew-Your- Own in stitches currently. We got a peek at his wares, though, and frankly we copied some of his art istry. (You can see for yourself there’s a “Christmasy look” about today’s trio of fashions.) And hap pily you can do more than look and wish—you can make them re alities the easy way: just sew, sew, Sew-Your-Own! Cute and Cozy. Look your prettiest in leisure or on the job in the lusciously femi nine house jacket (young sister to the house coat) above, left. Santa Claus has ordered thousands of these for feminine friends in his good graces and you know S. C. usually shows impeccable taste in gifts. In handsome silk crepe or very lightweight corduroy it is as cosy as a love seat before an open fire. Make it either in the short length (see inset) or regular dress length. Feminine Flattery. Polish yourself off in a bril liantly styled new frock for the holidays just ahead. Sew-Your- Own’s newest success (above cen ter) will be your success once you wear it in the public eye.

A Blouse or Two. Tops in the fashion picture just now is that friendly little item— the blouse. A completely engag ing one is shown here for women who sew. Wear it tucked in or The Musk Ox Able to exist farther north than any other hoofed mammal, the musk ox is really a goat which tried to become an ox, but stopped halfway between, and is therefore neither. It is found only in the barren lands of northern Canada and Greenland. The rigorous climate of the Arc tic does not bother the musk ox because it has two coats of hair. One is long, thick and brown. The other is a thick, soft under-fur, which is shed in summer. If it were not shed, the musk ox might almost smother to death. peplum style. And here’s a prac tical idea: you have a choice in sleeve lengths.
