McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, S. C., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1937 B around the house Brighter Glass.—All glass bowls and tumblers should be washed In warm soapy water and then in clear water to which a little vine- fur has been added. • • • Removing Tar Stains. — Tar stains can be removed from car pets by spreading a thick paste of turpentine and fullers’ earth over the affected spot. Leave on for several hours, then brush off. • • • Convenient Table.—A knee-high small kitchen working table, pref erably one that washes off easily is a treasure to the housewife. Such a table encourages her to sit down to peel potatoes, scrape car rots or do any of the little things that she usually does standing by the kitchen table. • • • Hot Luncheon Sandwiches.— Spread bread lightly with butter, odd a slice of cheese, a slice of tomato and one or two half slices of bacon. Place on a pan in a hot oven, three to four inches be neath the broiler heat and cook until the bacon is done to taste and the cheese melted. WOMEN WHO HOLD THEIR MEN NEVER LET THEM KNOW Bewitching Lace on Gala Nights By CHERIE NICHOLAS N O matter how much your back aches and your nerves ■cream, your husband, because he Is only a man, can never under stand why you are so hard to live With one week In every month. Too often the honeymoon ex press Is wrecked by the »«gg<"g tongue of a three-quarter wife. The wise woman never lets her husband know by outward sign that she Is a victim of periodic pain. For three generations one woman has told another how to go "smil ing through” with Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound It helps Nature tone up the system, thus lessening the discomforts from the functional disorders which women must endure in the three ordeals of life: 1. Turning from girlhood to womanhood 2. Pre paring for motherhood 3. Ap proaching “middle age.” Don't be a three-quarter wifd take LYDIA E. PINKHAM’S VEGETABLE COMPOUND and Go “Smiling Through.” The Best Day Write it oil your heart that ev ery day is the best d‘ay in the year.—R. W. Emerson. T O GIVE the glamour that every woman covets for gala nights, the answer throughout the centuries has been lace. And so it is to this very day and generation. Easily to be understood, therefore, is the fact of lace being made a theme trium phant throughout current Paris cou ture showings as well as in the fashion pageantry so dramatically presented nowadays by leading style creators in our own country. A most significant contemporary event that has much to do with the present enthusiasm for lace was the grand lace ball given in Chicago this fall. Not only did this delight ful occasion usher in the winter social season with real fanfare and much excitement, but -the lovely fashions there presented set the pace for a “lace season.” Three models that were outstand ing in this style-registering lace promenade are pictured herewith, with the thought in mind that wheth er you can afford to buy original models or whether perforce you needs must make your own clothes, the fact of having the best set be fore you proves helpful and inspira tional. The woman with limited budget has every opportunity to look beautifully gowned these days (no matter how formal the function to which she may be invited) at com paratively little cost. The present mode that voices an insistent call for formal gowns is bringing out a number of distinctly new and charming silhouettes, not the least important of which is the one with smoothly molded front lines and fullness at the back. The beautiful dress to the right in the illustration interprets the idea with tiny ruffles starting from a deep decolletage and sweeping down fan- shape to a widened hemline. The decollete at front is heart-shaped. The trimming features are all cen tered at the back with a sashbow of the lace to give added grace. The lace is of filmy cobweb texture in one of the newest colors, a deep blue violet shade. The gown would be handsome done in black Chan tilly. The season started with glitter and as time goes on the glitter- gleam-sparkle idea is gaining in mo mentum. The evening dress of silver lame lace on a white ground (center figure) does justice to the present scintillating mode. The gov/n is simply cut with a full skirt. The jacket of the same silver lace is detailed smartly to the nth de gree with soft flaring cuffs at the elbow, and a little stiffened standup collar, plus bow. The jacket does not close completely so as to re veal the decollete gown underneath. The two-piece dinner gown to the left, created by Norman Hartnell, London dress designer, is ma'de of white starched lace in an interesting manner which shows up effectively over the slip of black satin. The high neckline in front contrasts a decollete back which, by the way, k a silhouette much featured this season.

A»k your ntni/kborl DOANS PILLS GAY PLAID ACCENT By CHERIE NICHOLAS If you are even a little bit handy with a needle you’ll find it no trouble at all to make up the hat, scarf and pocketbook shown in this photo graph. It is not difficult to secure patterns of this type. Make this attractive accessory ensemble of the n-iw goodlooking soft-finished cot ton fabric woven with a twill that looks and feels like wool. You can get it in authentic Scotch tartan plaids and being sanforized-shrunk as this fabric is it tubs without pro test. Such a gay bonnet and match ing gadgets would look particularly well with a dark frock—one of the new tailored cottons which can be made so successfully at home. In any event they will add life and character to the neutral tone of a smart camel’s hair coat as you see in the picture. FAVOR HEAD VEILS FOR EVENING WEAR By CHERIE NICHOLAS A veil with your hat in the strict est sense is now news, although we must admit the ingenious ways they are being draped and flung pic turesquely and nonchalantly about is worth telling about. However, that which is news, exciting news, is the veils sans hat which social ites are wearing as romantically as any senora or senorita ever draped a mantilla head and shoulder deep. It is a charming fashion that has come to us this season, that of a decorative veil caught with flower or ornament thrown over a beauti fully coiffed head. There is ro mance and allure in this new evening headdress, especially when the veil is filmy and sparkles with glittering sequins. Use Ancient Damascening in Chic Modern Compacts Damascening, the ancient art of gold-wire inlay in metal, has found its way through reproduction in modern compacts. The art is trace able as far back as 490 B. C., and its origination is attributed to metal workers of ancient Damascus. Here, in order to cover streaks showing in the famous Damascus steel, work ers developed the art of inlaying gold or silver wire into designs engraved upon the steel. The art has made museum pieces of deco rated metalware throughout the centuries, and Damascene workers of ancient times competed for hon ors and acclaim in their fields. Damascene compacts have simu lated designs in a great variety, and many are taken from rare prints ol ancient Damascene masterpieces. Knit Blouses Designed to Look Like Soft Woolens Knit blouses are designed to look like soft wool and woolens are made to appear like handknit this season, so those who shun handknits can achieve the same effect with soft, lightweight woolens. Twin sweaters are shown partic ularly for young girls and are de signed with the two parts matching or with contrasting colors for th« pullover and cardigan. li i J improved J 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 12 CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP LESSON TEXT—I John 1:1-7; Revelation 21:1-7. GOLDEN TEXT—Our fellowship Is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.— I John 1:3. PRIMARY TOPIC—The Heavenly Home. JUNIOR TOPIC—God’s Great Family. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Comradeship with Christ. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— Daily Fellowship with Christ and Christians. Fellowship—the word is rich in meaning, even as it concerns the ordinary relationships of life. It speaks of the association of man with man in a common enterprise, a sharing of problems and of vic tories—a partnership. Such rela tionships are very real and helpful. They lead to friendships which bind the hearts of men together in noble purpose and in tender consideration. It is, however, a long step for ward when we add the prefix “Chris tian” to “fellowship.” For by so do ing we not only bring men into the most glorious partnership with each other but we do two other very im portant things: (1) we limit those eligible to this fellowship to those who are followers of the Lord Jesus Christ; and (2) we broaden the fel lowship beyond the association of men with each other, and bring them into the circle with Christ. What a high and noble fellowship! Do you belong? Christ says, “I am the door: by me if any man enter in he shall be saved” (John 10:9). Our Scripture selections for today are from two books of the Bible. Both speak of an eternal Christian fellowship but the first stresses its present expression in a life of holi ness and the other its future of blessed communion. I. Christian Fellowship—Now (I John 1:1-7). The First Epistle of John presents fellowship with God as depending on three things “which form in their combination a very beautiful picture of truth . . . God is light (1:5), hence fellowship with God depends on our walking in the light. God is righteous (2:29), hence fellowship with God depends on our doing righteousness. God is love (4:7, 8), hence fellowship with God depends on our possessing and manifesting love” (James M. Gray). Every clause and phrase of the passage before us is so full of spiritual truth that it should have our full time but we must limit our selves to pointing out one outstand ing fact; namely, that Christian fel lowship is made possible because we have a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. He it is who reveals the Father—the One in whom there is “no darkness at all” (v. 5). If we follow him we must “walk in the light as he is in the light” (v. 7). This allows for no dark corners, no crookedness in word or act, no back biting nor evilspeaking. Let us open the hidden recesses of the heart to the light of God and put every evil thing under the “blood of Jesus Christ which cleanseth us from all sin” (v. 7). II. Christian Fellowship—for Eter nity (Rev. 21:1-7). Our present communion with God and with one another is most pre cious—but how often it is marred by sin and disturbed by the wicked ness that surrounds us in the world. We look forward to that day when we who are the followers of Christ shall be delivered not only from the penalty and the power of sin, but also from its very presence. There will be “a new heaven and a new earth” from which every evil thing has been taken away, in which all has been renewed in righteousness. Then will come the glorious consummation of all things when God shall come to “dwell with them and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them and be their God” (v. 3). That communion shall never be disturbed by the falling of any tear. There will be no mourning, no crying, no pain (v. 4). Little won der that these words have been the comfort of God’s people in their darkest hours. They are not the futile words of human solace. They come from the eternal God. Three questions have intrigued the curiosity of man: (1) Where did I come from? (2) why am I here? and (3) where am I going? The Christian is the only one who has a satisfying solution for the problem of the origin of all things, “In the beginning God”; a reason for the existence of all things, “To me to live is Christ”; and a satisfactory con summation of all things, “And God himself shall be with them.” It is a great thing to know Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord. True Religion True religion extends alike to the intellect and the heart. Intellect is in vain if it lead not to emotion, and emotion is vain if not enlightened by intellect; and both are vain if not guided by truth and leading to duty.—Tryon Edwards. Values I am told so many ill things of a man, and I see so few in him, that I begin to suspect he has a real but troublesome merit, as being likely to eclipse that of others.—Bruyere.
