GOOD DRUG STORES Knit and Crochet for the ’Teen Age By CHERIE NICHOLAS II I P I • iilili m n r ■ r dh Knitters are turning out per fectly charming ap parel for the ’teen age these days. If you think the styles for growing girls were clever and attractive last year just wait until you see the in triguing knit-created togs for the coming spring and summer! To give you an idea of what’s going on in the knitted realm we are illus trating two cunning dresses which any little miss will be proud to wear. Fashion-right to the last detail is the little plaid school dress to the left in the picture. Knit of sturdy sports yam it will valiantly with stand the steady grind of a school room or the severe test of’outdoor life, at the same time that it “car ries on” with a stylish air that classes its wearer among the best- dressed set. Any little girl would treasure the separate bolero, or call it Eton jacket if you will. It is al most sure to prove her constant companion, for being a separate item it can be donned with any dress. Grand to wear under one’s coat, too, if the temperature goes down! No doubt you will feel the urge to knit more than one of these cun ning jackets for they can be made to add such a fetching color touch to any dress. The combination of a plaided knit dress with a mono tone bolero as pictured reaches a high note of chic. The little jumper dress to the right is sure to appeal to mothers who knit. It is so very practical, since it can be worn over any blouse, and that means little daugh ter can feel spic and span in a re freshing change each day. This par ticular jumper dress which you see pictured is knitted of softest shet- i Mili! • land yarn in a lovely Lyon blue, and is sturdy enough t« be just the thing for little missy to wear when she trots back and forth to school. The rib effect of the knit makes it up to the moment in fashion, but the real beauty of it is that it’s so simple and inexpensive to make. In the inset we are showing a cun ning little hat for a cunning little girl. Call this little headpiece a calot if you are aiming to speak in correct fashion parlance. Any young fashionable will adore it and well she might.' The pert little topknot curlicue gives it a style and a dash that makes it distinctive. It’s crocheted of knitting worsted and can be worked up in any favorite colors. Have you taken note of the gay- colored mittens and gloves that chil dren are wearing with their dark coats? Some of them are hand-em broidered with cunning wool flow ers. Perhaps in the wardrobe of little daughter there is a cloth dress of all too-somber hue. Well, here’s a way to make it look bright and new and attractive. Crochet or knit a triangle neckerchief of the gay est of gay yarn. While you are about it make a belt to the click, click, click of your knitting needles, or crochet if you prefer. Then cro chet over all the edges of the cloth dress in buttonhole stitch of match ing yarn. Perhaps you are “mak ing over” a dress for wee daughter out of big sister’s discarded cloth frock. Add these crochet details and see how pretty it will turn out. U Western Newspaper Union. THE BETTER SILKS Bt CHERIE NICHOLAS At formal fashion gatherings it is very noticeable that the best-cos tumed are choosing to wear dresses styled with utmost simplicity of fab rics that frankly bespeak their ele gance. In selecting silks the ten dency is to consider the better qual ities, the real pure dye silks that are so genuinely sterling they tell you so at first glance. A dress of this type silk is here shown. It is elegant white silk faille with wide horizontal stripe that is used for this gown “FUSSY FEMININE” TREND COMES BACK ..Girls who like to wear fussy, ul tra - feminine clothes for evening wear will have every opportunity to do so this winter. It’s time for glistening and slinky satins, rustly taffetas and soft, feminine nets. Evening gowns are styled with full, flowing skirts. Some affect tight bodices and a tiny suggestion of hoops in the flared skirt. Others cling to the Empire silhouette idea, with close-fitting lines molded to the figure. Many of the gowns fashioned of net show skirts which are complete ly ruffled. A few feature the pan nier extension at the hipline, a flat tering departure for those with slim hips. Black and white are especial ly effective color choices in this material, with pastels also good. Richly Colored Wools Are Popular in Paris Showings The new soft woolens in deep, rich colors introduced at the winter col lections of the famous couture houses are daytime favorites of chic Parisians and American women who have selected their autumn wardrobes recently in Paris. Mrs. Paul Dubonnet was so in trigued by one of Paquin’s sports frocks that she has ordered the same style made in brown, navy and black. The woolen frock is designed on simple, casual lines with buttons fastening the back of the blouse to the neckline; long, fitted sleeves and collar with high revers fastened back with buttons. Suede and Scarves Suede jackets with knitted sleeves and bright scarves at the neckline are featured for sportswear in the leading Paris shops. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson By REV. HAROLD L. LUNDOUIST. Dean of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicaco. ® Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for January 30 MINISTERING TO SPIRITUAL NEEDS LESSON TEXT—Mark 2:1-12. GOLDEN TEXT—Son, thy sins are for given—Mark 2:5. PRIMARY TOPIC—When the House Was Crowded. JUNIOR TOPIC—Who Can Forgive Sin? INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Bringing People to Christ. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— Christianity’s Concern for Spiritual Health. Man is so constantly concerned with his physical nature, the needs and interestg^Df his body, that he is prone to forget that there is within him a spiritual nature which is in fact his real self. The body which is the temporary dwelling place of the soul is most important—but rel atively it is of but slight signifi cance when considered alongside of the spiritual life of man. Our lesson presents the Lord Je sus as being rightly concerned with the needs of the palsied man’s body, but his act of healing was incidental to the infinitely more important act of forgiving his sins. Consider him, for his was indeed • I. A Hopeless Case (v. 3). Incurably afflicted and helpless physically, but far more deeply af flicted spiritually was this poor man, for he was still in his sins. No man was able to heal his body, only God could heal his soul. He was indeed hopeless until he met Jesus. He knows no hopeless case. With God all things are possible, and Jesus Christ is God. We are even as was this man, for without God we too are without hope (Eph. 2:12). Let us face the facts and admit that unless we are saved through Christ we are eter nally and completely lost. n. Impossible Conditions (w. 1, 2, 4). We say that the circumstances surrounding this man were such as to make it impossible for him to reach the Lord, for so they would have been apart from the spirit of divine urgency which impelled his helpers to cut through every excuse and brush aside every hindrance. “Where there’s a will there’s a way.” Had these men been con trolled by convention they would never have put their friend at the feet of Jesus. But note that before taking up the roof they tried the door. They tried to use the proper entry, but it was blocked. It often is—sometimes by customs, some times by religious ceremony, often by vain philosophy. III. Immediate Conversion (v. 5). At once Jesus sees their faith and forgives the man his sins. God al ways welcomes and honors faith. Note that Jesus—who as God had the power to forgive sins—immedi ately cleansed him from all un righteousness. This man’s affliction proved to be his greatest blessing. If he had not had the palsy he might never have met the Lord. Suffering properly borne may be a means of grace. IV. Secret Criticism (w. 6, 7). What a serious thought it is that the unspoken word which we think we have hidden away in the heart or mind is known to God. “All things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” (Heb. 4:13). “There is nothing hid that shall not be known” (Luke 12:2). What does the Lord see when he looks into your heart and mine? Their theology was faultless— their reasoning was logical, but their premise was wrong. They were right in saying that only God could forgive sin. But they were wrong in assuming that Jesus was not God, and therefore a blas phemer. V. Miraculous Confirmation (w. 8-12). Forgiving sins was harder than healing the body, but these enemies of Jesus lived so much in the realm of the physical that they missed that important truth. He meets the challenge of their unbelief by going into their own limited field of ob servation. They were not able to test the effectiveness of His forgive ness of sins. They did not believe in Him, hence they would not re ceive it by faith. Let us remember that the inci dent took place in the early days of our Lord’s ministry. While we do not condone their hostility to the tender and loving service of our Lord to humanity; we can under stand their slowness to accept his claims to divine power. Ai our day we have no such excuse, for all gospel history is available to us. God help us that we may not sit in the seat of the scornful and “de mand a sign” before we will be lieve. Harmonies of Nature There are but few souls who per ceive how far the harmonies of Na ture resound in accordance with ours, and how much the great whole is but one Aeolian harp with longer or shorter strings, slower and quick er movements, breathed upon by the Divine Being before Whom it rests.— Richter. Pure Heart and Clear Mind Give me the pure heart, O Lord, to feel Thy presence near me. Give me the clear mind that undersatnde. SE 4*"” Ruth Wyeth Spears B -■ IN THE sketch at the upper left you see the pieces of a daven port slipcover fitted with seam lines pinned. The material is wrong side out as the welt or cord ed seams must be stitched from the inside of the cover. Before the seams around the front of the arms are pinned as at A the arm cover edge of the seam must be gathered as at B. It is important to allow just enough material so the arm cover fits easily. The cable cord that is covered with bias material and fitted into the seams to make the welt may be purchased at any notion coun ter. The material to cover it must be cut on a true bias and stitched in place as shown here at C. The cording foot attachment for your machine must be used for this stitching so the sewing will come close to the cord. The next step is to either baste or stitch the cov ered cord to one edge of the right side of the seam as shown here at D. Then, using the cording foot again, stitch the seam as shown. Clip the seam edges around curves so they will not draw. It will be necessary to leave an opening in the back to be fastened with snaps. Openings must be arranged on the underside of the seam cushions as shown here at E. Every Homemaker should have >*mw} Ask Me Another £ A General Quiz 1. What is meant by the Great Divide? 2.

We know that any physical expression tends reflexly to produce that emotion. Therefore, not only does self-respect naturally tend to brace a man’s shoulders and straighten his spine but such an attitude tends to brace up a man’s mind also. Those who have lost their self- respect nearly always slouch. The pharisee, the bully or the dandy strut or swagger.

Men have their masculine ag gravations, but none to compare to that of a housewife who has prepared a feast for company that fails to show up. Millions have no hobby unless it is their work. Most of us have to earn money. Men with great financial talents “make” it. A man in an unbecoming hat acts as if he knew it. A way some people have of showing sympathy for your trou bles is to tell about their own. :MS3r if JEWEL 'doesn’t give results at fine as any shortening— REGARDLESS OF PRICE 7q Get the free recipe for SWEET RICE FRITTERS at your grocer’s where you buy your JEWEL SHORTENING Je^ *SHOR teN ■/ ■■ FAVORITE OF THE SOUTH Absence Noted Love comes unseen; we only see it go.—Austin Dobson. |SNOW WHITE PETROLEUM JEUY ITj IAPGE JARS StMDlOt . ne forest I nn . and Cotta § 2 s A HOTEL OF DISTINCTION Nearest the Gardens (Famons Winter Resert) OPEN JANUARY TO MAY M to $10 a day American Plan 8.
