McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, S. THURSDAY, JUNE 23, 1938 What’s New in Swim and Beach Togs IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL WHAT to EAT and WHY By CHERIE NICHOLAS f I 'WO features stand A out pre-eminently in connection with this season’s swim and beach togs, namely the vast variety of materials in use, the other the fact of the dressmaker touch giv en their styling. It adds to the interest that gadgets in the way of costume Jewelry tuned to sea and sand and outdoor themes usual ly complete the '‘picture" of each costume. Citing a few of the smartest ma terials employed, first and foremost comes lastex, which is a boon to womankind in that if conforms to "lines" perfectly with a magic this- way, that-way stretching quality which solves the problem of clothes that fit, retain their shape and offer perfect comfort. The big sensation this season is the swim suit of black satin lastex with beach cape to match, completing the sense of lux ury. Flower printed lastex ensem bles also have their place in the style parade along water edge and sea line. Other interesting materials em ployed for playtime clothes and wardrobes for water nymphs in clude celanese rayon moire, cela- nese rayon sharkskin, silk prints of fast color, linens in monotone or spectacular print and cottons so sturdy, so handsome, words fail of describing. Then there’s wear-for ever denim, and washable gabar dine, so reliable when it comes to the wear and tear of riotous waves or strenuous mountain climbs. Another feature that fashion spot lights is the use of striking color contrasts, perhaps in the way of playing up print with plain or the modernistic gesture of making the costume one vivid solid color boldly contrasted by another startling color on a sort of fifty-fifty basis. The models pictured are typical of this season’s swim suit and beach ensemble trends. Centered in the group you see a stunning outfit that tunes superbly to a statuesque fig- jure. This comely young woman is wearing black trunks with printed "bra” of celanese rayon sharkskin. A catalin fish pin on her hip answers the call for suitable costume jewel ry. To the right, fashion offers a new bathing suit ensemble that striking ly combines white with bright ocean- blue. The bodice top is blue with catalin fish pin by way of correct gadgetry. The blue beach coat with monk’s hood of blue lined with white adds to eye-appeal. This very new and attractive ensemble is of cela nese rayon jersey. A very interesting costume, as shown to the left, uses blue and white cotton print for the beach cape lined with white terry cloth, worn over a loose-fitting white terry cloth suit. Accessory is white catalin Vi ennese stag horn bracelet with carved edelweiss. This costume won an award and is an adaptation of an Algerian man’s costume from the Traphagen costume museum. To supplement the list of materi als smartly in use for beach dress and bathing suit, hopsacking should be mentioned. It is ranked along with sharkskin for shorts and slacks and shirts. Then there are the fasci nating crinkle cottons that make such practical and attractive beach coats. Water, sun or sand dim not their beauty or colorfulness. One of the cleverest ideas is the quilted fioral cotton prints. A bo lero of / quilted print worn with matching printed broadcloth slacks together with a peasant kerchief of the same print is a happy sugges tion. pTry this ensemble, it’s a win. ner this season. © Western Newspaper Union. ■ ACCENT ON POCKETS Br CHERIE NICHOLAS The more decorative and useful the pockets that your dress, jacket, suit or blouse proudly boasts the better. Here you see a pretty lassie framed in a background of apple blossoms wearing a white culotte outfit in new celanese rayon suiting fabric. This attractive playtime cos tume is pocketed to a nicety, each pocket enhanced with hand-run vari-colored stitching. Just because amusing gadgets are essential in the scheme of things this season, this outdoor girl pins a novelty cat alin brooch at her throat in the shape of a college girl’s cap with tassel. WONDERS ARE BEING DONE WITH RIBBONS By CHERIE NICHOLAS After you have looked about at the new dress collections the thought stays with you that this is decidedly a ribbon season. Sum mer dresses are given a sprightly look with pert little bows here and there while ribbons galore, wide, narrow in one color or in mingled tones or tri-color gayety are swath and sashed about the waist with utmost artistry. So utterly have designers yielded to the ribbon urge they are creating clever boleros entirely of ribbon and recently a leading Paris couturiere fashioned an entire dress of ribbon sewing it edge to edge for slender effect and for wide hemline let ting the ribbon ends fly out loose over a silken foundation. Lots of ribbons on hats this sea son, too, for bindings, bands and tailored bows and for floating streamers and bonnet ties are seen. Frilly-Frilly Guimpes or Vestees Have Blouse Look With the classic suit or the more softly tailored bolero-and-skirt cos tume you are expected to wear the daintiest, frilliest blouse or guimpe or vestee you can find. Of course, if you expect to remove the jacket, it’s a blouse you must have. How ever, with the jacket on, a lacy, fluttery crisp and sheer false front is just the thing. They cost less than a blouse and they are showing such fascinating ones in neckwear departments you will yield to the impulse to buy another and another —which, when you stop to consider, is a fine gesture in real economy. Sailor Hats The newest sailor hats have a wide range—from straw to oilcloth. S UNDAY I chool Lesson By REV. HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. Dean of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. © Western Newspaper Union. # Lesson for June 26 SHARING SERVICE WITH THE LIVING CHRIST LESSON TEXT—Mark 16:1-8, 14-16, 19, 20. GOLDEN TEXT—And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them. Mark 16:20. PRIMARY TOPIC—At Work With Jesus. JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesus Our Living Lord. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— Making a New World With Christ. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— Making a New World With Christ. Easter again? No, the calendar does not say so, nor have we for- gottep that we observed Easter ten weeks ago, but quite properly we study the resurrection story again today. Not only does it come in the sequence of our lessons as our final study in the Gospel of Mark, but the fact is that every Sunday is a re minder of Easter. The reason why we worship on the first day of the week is that it is the resurrection day. What life it would put into pur Sunday worship if the glory of the risen Lord would shine forth (as it should) each Lord’s Day in all of our service and worship. It is difficult to think or write about the living Christ without us ing superlatives. Our lesson for to day brings before us the most im portant truth that the world has ever heard—"He is risen"; it speaks of the worst thing in the world—"unbelief"; and it presents the world’s greatest commission— "Go . . . and preach." I. The Transcendent Truth (vv. 1-8). "Ye seek Jesus, the Nazarene, who hath been crucified; He is ris en, He is not here" (v. 6). The world anxiously awaits news, and, hoping almost against hope, it longs for good news. This is the good news—the Gospel—the all-im portant tidings that the Son of God who had taken upon Himself not only the form of man, but the sins of mankind as well, who had tasted the bitter death of Calvary's cross, could not be holden of death, but breaking its bands asunder had ris en from the dead. This truth becomes the chief bur den of the messages of the disciples as they soon went everywhere pro claiming the Gospel. See the ser mons recorded in the Book of Acts (2:24, 32; 3:14, 15; 4:10, 23; 10:40; 13:30). It was such preaching that was at the foundation of the Chris tian church. It may be that we should emphasize it more. n. The I Impassable Barrier (v. 14). "He upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, be cause they believed not." Many are the sins that men commit, but at the root of them all we find the heart of all sin—unbelief. The tragic consequence of unbe lief is that it shuts the door, throws up a barrier to God’s blessing that is virtually impassable until God himself gives grace to believe. The astonishing thing is that the hard ness of heart and lack of faith here were on the part of those who had been the disciples of Jesus, to whom He had made known the fact that He was to die and to arise on the third day, and to whom there had now come the word of eye-witnesses that they had seen the Lord. While we marvel at their short sighted unbelief, shall we not ask ourselves what hindrances we have placed in God’s way in our own lives? \ > HI. The Supreme Commission (w. 15, 16, 19, 20). "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole cre ation" (v. 15). "And they went . . . and preached, the Lord work ing with them and confirming the word” (v. 20). The great commission of Christ is still the "marching orders of the church," but how slowly we have marched. The writer of these notes was recently startled by statistics revealing anew the fact that "Chris tian" America is rapidly returning to the status of a mission field. It is said that last year 60,000 churches in America had no converts, and 9,000 churches were closed during the year. There are 10,000 villages reported to be without church serv ices, and 30,000 communities with out a resident pastor. The command of Christ is that we should go to these pagan communi ties in our own land with the gos pel, and surely it is our double shame that there are still lands where Christ has never been preached, yes, tribes that do not even have a word in their language for the blessed name—Jesus! If we will go He will indeed work with us (v. 20) and accompany the message and ministry with divine authority and power. Who will go? Select Good Company When a man lingers in the neigh borhood of sinners he may expect to be tempted. Our company has not a little to do With our conduct. Try Again The diligent searcher after truth will not be deterred by many dis appointments. His hope may fail, but he will try again. Key to Success There is only one key to success, and that is perseverance. 4joul ton (foudhti O'jyke’Ll Aiote Advice About Reducing Describes the Perijs of Unscientific Methods for Losing Weight By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS 6 East 39th Street. New York City. M Y RECENT discussion of reducing in these columns brought many letters, indicating that the modern woman is, fortunately, weight conscious. This is an encour aging sign. For it shows that you are alert to the dangers of overweight, which not only destroys beauty but may indirectly contribute to heart disease, <s> kidney disorders and diabetes, which take their greatest toll from among the heavyweights. —★— Guard Against Unscientific Reducing Methods Some of these letters caused me great concern, however, because they indicate that in spite of my warning against unscientific meth ods of weight re duction, many women still cling to the idea that there is some mag ic in the various pills, powders, cap sules, soaps, salts and mechanical de vices that are sold at fancy prices and hold out alluring promises of speedy reducing without dieting or exercise. It is bad enough that most of these fail to reduce. For they may delay the day when the vic tim of overweight will undertake a sound and scientific program of weight reduction that will effec tively take off weight—thus im proving appearance, benefiting health and increasing the chances of longevity. But what is far more serious is that some of these preparations may endanger health or cause lifelong physical impair ment. —★— Dangerous Drugs Drugging is particularly to be condemned, and no one should at tempt to reduce by this method except under the advice and watchful eye of a physician. There are many invalids today who would be happy and healthy if they had not attempted to take some "reducing medicine" with out consulting a physician. One preparation that is still bought by foolish women—in spite of repeated warnings against its use—may even result in perma nent blindness. Almost" equally objectionable are excessive purging — which may leave you a wobbly wreck— and fasting, which is even more dangerous to women than men. —★— Don't Diet Without Direction A carefully regulated diet will not only maintain normal weight, but will banish overweight by forcing the body to burn its own excess fat as fuel. Having heard of this scientific principle, many women frantically and foolishly attempt to prescribe their own re ducing diets — often with dis astrous results.

One of the most common and most serious errors is to omit all bread "Potatoes and cereals, in the belief that carbohydrates are "fat tening foods." Carbohydrates are required by the body in order to utilize the fats in the diet, and when reducing, they are also nec essary to burn up excess fatty tissue. Just as fire cannot burn without air, fat cannot be utilized in the body without the presence of starch or sugar. When the diet contains insufficient carbohy drates, fat burns incompletely, re sulting in the dangerous acetone type of acidosis. —★— Counting Calories the Easy Way to Reduce The one safe, sure and scien tific method of getting rid of sur plus weight and at the same time maintaining top health—is to con sume a diet that is balanced in every respect, but to count your calories at every meal, making Certain that you consume fewer calories each day than your body requires for its normal energy ex penditure.

T.—It is impossible to generalize regarding the diet in asthma. This condition is due to allergy, and the symptoms are produced by different foods in dif ferent individuals. Almost all pro tein substances are capable of causing distress. Miss L. T. B.—Though it lacks fat and vitamin A, skim milk is a rich source of calcium and phos phorus, and also furnishes high grade protein. A quart of skim milk, plus one and one-half ounces of butter is the equivalent of a quart of whole milk. © WNU—C. Houston Goudiss—1938—16 iSSiSS nuuLHiun.
