McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, S. C., THURSDAY, JUNE 9, 1938 Her Gown of Airy-Fairy Thin Weave By CHERIE NICHOLAS N OW that the season has come to exchange lover’s knots for marital ties, the fancy of brides-to- be turns happily to a glamorous picture of billowy tulle and lovely flowers and wedding array for her self and her attendants that shall be fashioned of fabrics which needs must tune to the romance and beau ty of the occasion. • A highly important style mes sage for brides-prospective is the wide use being made this season of airy-fairy diaphanous silk sheers for the making of the wedding gown as well as for the bridesmaid frocks and the dresses of the little flower girls. There is x an ethereal elusive beauty about the wedding scene that is carried out in terms of these love ly silk transparencies such as silk marquisette, filmy-as-cobweb nets, tulles and chiffons and silk organzas and mousseline de soies that blend ideally into the setting of a perfect day in June or in later summertime. The bride in the illustration makes an entrancing picture in her gown of lovely summery silk mar quisette. Its youthful princess lines, its enhancement of decorative lace appliques and its heart-shaped de- colletage are in the quaintly beauti- ful “Gone With the Wind” tradi tion. The train is a spectacular part of the dress that reveals through a full length silk filmy net veil with lace coronet to match the gown. The bride carries a seed pearl prayer book. Silk sheers are also favored for attendant frocks as they are smart for many summer evenings as well as the wedding itself. Even the little flowergirl’s dress, also of silk sheer, is selected so that it can be worn later on for Here are two stunning Sea Island er knit sports costumes made of the famous sea island cotton grown on Georgia island plantations remi niscent of the days when Spanish conquistadores took these golden isles The jacket idea as interpret ed in the model shown at top is hieh fashion. Women are not only wearing the knitted jacket with its companion knitted skirt but they are considered very smart with the cloth tailored skirt. inset is clad in peach silk mar quisette, the surplice front of which presents a new line for children’s frocks that is both charming and youthful. This forms a ruffle that is tied in at the high waistline with a mauve velvet ribbon matching the ribbon on the puffed sleeves. Traditional white satin is seen in many new versions. In Paris, Molyneux shows a sensational wed ding gown in broche silk satin with a lily design. It is of Second Em pire crinoline silhouette with posies and sprays of lily-of-the-valley hold ing the period-draped skirt. In America, many women are choos ing the long, fitted bodice for their wedding dress as well as for their street, spectator sports and evening dresses. One smart yersion in white duchess silk satin features this moyen age waistline with a full gathered skirt and train. Many brides prefer a gown on princess lines for its slim reed-like grace. In silk marquisette as pictured it is really fit for a princess. Silk net wedding veils are equally smart in the long or hip length versions. Often they have caps to match the dress or the bridal cor sage. A simple and out of the ordinary cap worn by a recent bride had a peaked crown, the entire head- piece made of closely allover shirred tulle same as the veil. A charming suggestion for the bridesmaids is that of cunning little boleros fashioned entirely of fiat sewed flowers. These may either match the color of the silk organ die gowns they top or they may be in contrasting color. Very effective also is the bolero that is made of pastel colored lace worn with the gown of silk marquisette in match ing or contrasting color. Cl Western Newspaper Union. TWO-PURPOSE GOWN FINDS MUCH FAVOR By CHERIE NICHOLAS The tendency these days is to have a foundation dress with end less accessory ensembles in reserve so as to change the character of the costume to tune to occasion. The newest entrant into the interchange able costume realm is the dress of black or navy crepe which is sold with a full length detachable front panel of pleated crepe in white or some contrasting color. For the practical hours of the day the dress is worn without the panel and you can run about town looking trim and tailored. Or in the office you will appear “neat as a pin” dressed ap propriately for business hours. To keep the bridge date or accept an informal dinner engagement, you can don the white or colorful pleat ed panel in a jiffy. It fastens up over the shoulders and there are ribbon straps and bows to adjust to make it look like an integral part of the dress, for it extends from neck to hem. Vogue for Pleats Feature of the Current Fashion The vogue of pleats, which is a feature of the current fashion trend, is not confined to skirts. A frock which has its own matching bolero has a pleated section below a plain square yoke. A skirt-waist dress with an all-around pleated skirt also has a pleated blouse, the sleeves being the only part of the frock to be left severely plain. The pleated fashion in millinery is reflected by pleated sashes which adorn many of the new broad- brimmed straw models and also the fabric hats which have wide pleated brims. Leather Fashionable Leather is used for everything this year from entire dressy afternoon suits in pastel shades to trimming on evening gowns. rw,. _ -rwwr-rwWww 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 June 12 FACING THE SUPREME TEST OF SERVICE LESSON TEXT—Mark 14:32-36. GOLDEN TEXT—Not what I will, but what thou wilt. Mark 14:36. PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus in the Garden. JUNIOR TOPIC—In Gethsemane INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— Courage in the Face of Danger. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— The Challenge of God's Will. No man has ever faced such a crisis as Jesus met in the Garden of Gethsemane, for He was the Son of God incarnate in order to bear the sins of the world. No one can ever fully understand the agony of soul involved when God “made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the right eousness of God in him” (II Cor. 5:21). It is, therefore, true that we may never say that we have gone “through Gethsemane.” But there is a very real sense in which our Lord’s experience is shared by His disciples, in a lesser degree and as ordinary human beings. Our lesson brings before us the closing scene of Thursday before the crucifixion. The day has been crowded with important events, among them the eating of the Pass- over, the revelation that there was a traitor among the twelve, the in stitution of the Lord’s supper, the precious words of the upper room, the intercessory prayer in the gar den. I. Exceeding Sorrowful (w. 32- 36). The text uses many words to con vey the depth of His soul’s agony, as though it were impossible to ex press it in the faulty medium of speech. So it is, for our Lord here experienced something far more se rious than a dread of physical death. He was not a coward. He was not afraid to die. His soul was about to have put upon its spotless sinlessness the stain and dishonor of the world’s sins. Little wonder that He was “sorrowful even unto death” (v. 34). Since this was the road the Mas ter trod, should not His servants tread it still? II. Alone with God (vv. 37-41). Jesus took with Him into the se cluded place in the Garden the three who were closest to Him in the cir cle of disciples. He counted on their fellowship and sympathy in His hour of anguish. Merely to have them near Him, to know that they were there to watch and pray even though they could not share His holy burden, was to be a com fort to Him. We try to do as much for one another in hours of bereave ment and disappointment, but how much greater was the opportunity of these three, and how ignomin- iously they failed. The spirit was willing (v. 38), but the flesh took the upper hand, and they slept! He was alone with His Father, when He prayed that if it were possible the hour might pass from Him, but in true and beautiful submission said, “not what I will, but what thou wilt.” The follower of Jesus will know this experience, too. While he will ever find it to be true that there is nothing more precious than the friends God gives him, he should prepare himself to expect the arm of flesh to fail him. There is no more bitter experience in human relationships than to count on those who should stand by, come what may, and to find that they have slept through our hour of soul-strug gle. III. Betrayed by a Kiss (vv. 42- 46). To betray the one who had done nothing but good, who had loved him and served him even in the washing of his feet, this would have been far more than one could have expected of even the sin-blackened heart of a Judas. But he fills the measure of his ignominy to over flowing by betraying his Lord with the sign of affection—a kiss. We know full well that we ma> not stand on the same ground as our Lord even here, for, whereas He had done nothing to merit be trayal, we at our best are not able to stand forth without fault. Never theless, great is the hurt when we face the betrayals of life. It may be one whom we have befriended, who has been the object of our lov ing thought and care, and who in the hour when he thinks to gain himself some advantage or avenge some fancied wrong strikes us in the back, ev.en as he smilingly pro fesses to be a friend. Shall we be embittered in soul and give like for like? God forbid! Let us rather say as Jesus did to Judas, “Friend, wherefore art thou come?” (Matt. 26:50.) If We Knew All The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merci ful men are taken away, none con sidering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come. He shall enter into peace.—Isa. 57:1, 2. Secret of Holiness They ask me for secrets of holi ness. For myself I know no secret than to love God with all my heart and my neighbor (who is all man kind) as myself.

WILLIAM BEEBE returned ^ recently from a tropical ex pedition. He had collected 20,000 different specimens of marine life. He brought back a fish not as long as his little finger. This was his most valuable specimen, a sail- fish IVz inches long. The familiar sailfish caught by anglers in California or Florida weighs from 30 to more than 100 pounds. Their length measures the height of a man or a giant. Some are even ten feet long. The “baby” sailfish measuring \Vz inches may not be a “baby” at all. The tiny fish exactly like the ten foot sailfish puzzles Doctor Beebe. In an interview on landing, the well known scientist says the tiny sailfish might be the first young sailfish ever captured, or may be a new miniature species. There is much doubt of the Vh. inch sail fish being the young of the or dinary sailfish because the little fish seems fully formed. The sailfish derives its name from the huge dorsal fin that ex tends a foot or two above the body and resembles a sail. These fish feed on the surface of the water and they are caught by trolling in the daytime. The miniature sail fish secured by Doctor Beebe was caught at night under search lights, on a voyage that took Doc tor Beebe and his companions 2,000 miles down the west coast from Cape Lucas to Panama. © Britannica Junior.
