As to Knitting a Chic Fall Sweater
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
TT'S time to knit! Or do
you happen to be a cro-
cheter instead of a knit
ter? Either way you do it,
it’s time to make one of the
perfectly charming sweat- '
ers here pictured.
We’ll wager that at sight
of these ultra chic and fas
cinating sweater fashions
your fingers will begin to
tingle, your heart action
quicken as a sudden urge '
sweeps o’er you to clickety
click those knitting needles
of yours faster than they
ever clicked before. Or if,
perchance, it’s a ‘ crochet
needle you wield, we’ve an
idea it’s going to go at rap
id pace to complete a "dar
ling” sweater like the cro
cheted model shown above to the
right in the illustration, for of course
you will be wanting to have it ready
to wear with the new fall suit. The
other two sweaters in the picture
are knitted.
We agree with you, this trio of
hand-made sweaters certainly have
a chic and charm about them that
is far beyond the ordinary. Not
that there is anything complicated
about the knitting and crocheting
of ’em, for each of the models is
really very simple to make.
“Sweaters this year," comes word
from Paris, “will be new because
of their departure from the conven-
tional.” Short, just over the hip
bone is the foreword that reaches
us in regard to the new fall sweat
ers. Many are slide fastened for
mostly everything is being zippered
among the new fashions that can
be zipped. Tjie majority of new
sweaters have low necks.
The band-and-bow trim that gives
such dainty feminine detail to the
sweater pictured above to the right
in the group is definitely new. It
affords a grand opportunity to carry
out a two-color scheme which is
something to take note of, consid
ering that bicolor treatments are
highly important in the current
stylizing program. The three bands
of contrasting color are fastened
with bows made of tufts of fringe
formed of the identical mercerized
crochet cotton used to make the
sweater. You’ll love this band-
and-bow trimming the more you
wear your sweater.
The jacket-like sweater blouse
above to the left has that air of
sophisticated simplicity about it
that every woman versed in the art
of smart costuming covets. It is
knit of knit-cro-sheen in an open
work stitch interspersed with solid
blocks that gives a sort of plaided
effect. This sweater is the type that
looks just as well when you remove
your jacket as it does with the
jacket on. Make it up in one of
the lovely new muted colors and
you will find it an indispensable and
flattering accessory. The square
neck line is a high-style feature. So
also are the crochet buttons up the
front. Most fashion reports have
much to say in regard to the flair
for buttons running to larger rather
than small this season.
With word emanating from Paris
that “it’s a year for sweaters in
versatile styles,” cardigans get
headline attention. Variety in car
digan styles is the new mandate,
but it must be “variety without fus
siness.” A cardigan type that env
bodies all of Paris sweater dic
tates is the short-sleeved one shown
below. It is knit and crocheted of
lustrous mercerized cotton. Work
it up in a contrast of your two
favorite colors.

SUMMER ERMINE
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
In the way of a summer evening
wrap the short fur, feather or
marabou bolero ranks at the top of
the list, making an agreeable
change from the fashionable cape.
The one pictured is in natural
beige summer ermine, worn over a
white crepe frock with accordion
pleated skirt. The smart young
women who go to parties and such
adore these boleros. The bolero in
brown fur (very important for fall)
is forecast as a smart daytime item.
Brushed-Up Coiffures Now
Go With Doll-Sized Hats
It seems as if the idea of
brushed-up hair is gaining, wheth
er we like it or not. At any rate
buyers returning*’ from midsummer
trips report that they will show the
new tiny doll-sized hats launched by
Schiaparelli worn atop higher hair-
dress that brings curls up off the
ears. It remains to be seen how
well the fashion will “take.” You
never can tell, fickle fashion, fickle
public are apt to go to any extreme.
PART FABRIC, PART
KNIT NEW FORMULA
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
College girl, here’s your cue to
smartness in dress this fall. Which
is to the effect that the sweater and
the cloth skirt in accurate color
match is a fashion “must” this com
ing season. So there’s lots of fun
ahead matching a sweater knit of
Shetland, cashmere or angora wool
to the skirt of patterned tweed, or if
you prefer, a monotone wool of plain
or novelty weave. Your choice runs
from rich dark autumn tones to the
now-so-fashionable pastel colors.
Then there are those amazing
three-piece ensembles that employ
the identical yarn employed in knit
ting the sweater, as is used for
weaving the cloth for jacket and
skirt. There’s no-end chic in the
costumes of cloth that have short
fur jackets with sleeves and bor-
derings, knit of yarn in colors that
tune to the scheme of things.
Cerise Added to Popular
Pinks by Paris Stylist
Cerise is a new step on the ladder
of pinks. A pleasant variation of
the more purplish fuchsia shade,
the cerise is used by Lelong for a
flowing sash tying around a deep
blue evening gown with a halter
neck.
And the same vivid shade is the
background for a dainty white-dotted
Swiss, which forms the bodice for a
bouffant white tulle skirt. The bod
ice is draped up and over the right
shoulder but comes under the left
arm, thus leaving the left shoulder
strapless, while the right is weU
covered.
Adding Bright Touch
Flowers on the bodice of an eve
ning frock matched by flowers in
the hair supply all the decoration
that one could want for festive oc
casions.
Moldy Colors
Moldy colors are being proudly
displayed at the moment as being
high style.

OTHERS

GOLDEN TEXT—Train up a child in the
way he should go. Proverbs 22:6a.
PRIMARY TEXT—When God Spoke to a
Boy.
JUNIOR TEXT—When God Spoke to a
^'intermediate and senior topic—
Should We Do as We Please?
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—
The Challenge of Christian Fatherhood.
The responsibilities and privileges
of fatherhood need special empha
sis, and the lesson of today gives
excellent opportunity for such con
sideration. Too often the rearing
of children, which is almost inevita
bly largely in the hands of the moth
er, is entirely delegated to her, and
the father becomes the man who
pays the bills, occasionally carries
out a severe act of discipline, but
otherwise is almost a stranger to
his children.
Girls as well as boys appreciate
and respond to the loving and un
derstanding fellowship of a father
who really improves the opportunity
to build himself into the lives of his
children.
Eli is a striking illustration of a
man who had attained an honorable
position in life and who had dis
charged his public duties with suc
cess, but who failed his own boys,
because of weak indulgence. Not a
few Christian workers have followed
in Eli’s path.
I. A Weak Father and Vile Sons
(3:13).
The sons of Eli were wicked men
who dared even to use the service
of the temple for the gratification of
fleshly appetites and lusts. (See
2:12-17,22.) Eli protested against
their most flagrant sin (2:23,24), but
evidently he had lost his influence
over them, for they did not hearken.
It is not always true that the
wickedness of a son is the result of
weakness in the father, nor is it al
ways the case that weak fathers
have vile sons. Often the sons live
far better lives than their fathers,
and frequently a godly and faith
ful father suffers the heartbreak of
having a wayward son. But usually
“like father, like son” is true.
Boys learn from their fathers—not
so much by words of admonition,
as by deeds. Let us tell our boys
how to live by first living a consist
ent Christian life, and then lovingly
but insistently requiring of them
during their days of irresponsibility
conformity to the standards of God.
We need to build moral fiber into
American youth of our country if it
is not to fall into the decadence of
the civilizations of the past.
II. Judgment—Personal and Na
tional (3:12, 14; 4:17).
Sin brings a horrible harvest of
sorrow, suffering and judgment,
not only to the individual but to his
family, and ultimately to the na
tion. No man can ever divorce him
self from his relationship to his fam
ily. His people will suffer for his
waywardness, perhaps more than he
suffers himself. The nation is made
up of homes, and consequently when
the family suffers the nation will
suffer too.
There is a strange theory current
that social and political entities have
an existence apart from the people
who make them up, that our people
can drink and gamble and steal and
kill, and yet somehow we will still
be the “land of the free and the
home of the brave.” America is
what the families in your communi
ty and mine are, and our families
are what we are. May God help
us to be better fathers, mothers,
brothers, and sisters.
III. Responsibility and Opportu
nity.
This division of our lesson is
drawn from no special portion of
the Scripture lesson, but is present
ed to place squarely before us the
fact that we (and we are speaking
specifically to fathers) have a plain
and inescapable responsibility for
our family life, as well as to empha
size the fact that this is not a re
sponsibility of which we should be
afraid. It is God’s gift of glorious
opportunity.
Eli was a personal success as a
priest. He had many commend
able qualities, not the least of which
was his gracious recognition of the
ministry of Samuel, who had grown
up in his presence and yet who
was recognized by Eli as the mes
senger of God. (Compare Mark 6:4
and I Tim. 4:12.) But he missed
life’s greatest opportunity by los
ing his own boys. Sad to say, many
a father has followed him, yes, even
we are sorely tempted to make our
business (and it may be the “busi
ness” of the Lord) the thing of pri
mary concern, and let our children
fit in where they may, or not at all.
Let us look on the brighter side
in closing our study and recall the
inspiring contribution that has been
made to our national life, to our
spiritual life and oar social advance
ment by those who have come out
of the most humble of homes, with
the most meager worldly advan
tages, but with the rugged charac
ters—physically, morally, and spir
itually stalwart—which have been
nurtured in a true Christian home.
It pays, not only for the person and
for the family, but also for the na
tion, to have Christian fathers.
WHA T to EAT and WHY
4fouAton (jouMaa £xtaLaln& the
Causes of Food Allergy
Well-Known Food Authority Names the Foods
That Cause Trouble
By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS
6 East 39th St., New York City.
A NEW phrase has crept into daily usage in recent years,
has in fact become so common that comedians use it in jest
and draw laughs from their audiences when they mimic, “I’m
allergic! ” But the words have deep significance for perhaps 30
to 60 per cent of the population who have cause to agree with
the old saying that “one man’s meat is another man’s poison.”
They are victims of the curious <&■
phenomenon known as food al
lergy and have an abnormal reac
tion to the proteins in certain
foods and other substances. As a
result, foods which are beneficial
in themselves and which usually
have an important place in a
normal balanced diet, cause a
variety of unpleasant effects.
These may range from hives or
a skin rash to a gastric disturb
ance with spells of nausea. The
individual may suf
fer from migraine
headache or an at
tack of hay fever
or asthma; or he
may have a tend
ency to what ap
pears to be bron
chial or head colds.
It has been de
termined that these
symptoms in an in
dividual who is al
lergic are due to
intolerance of certain proteins.
Even when the offending foods are
fruits and vegetables, it is the pro
tein that is responsible. It has
been suggested that the sensitiza
tion results because at some pre
vious time, an unsplit or undi
gested protein in some way passed
through the membranes lining the
digestive tract and entered the
blood stream. This acted very
much like a foreign substance and
sensitized body cells in some way
so that whenever the same food is
eaten, the disturbing symptoms
occur as a sort of defense mechan
ism.
—★—
N Heredity a Factor
A tendency to allergy seems to
be inherited. But the substances
which caused a disturbance differ
with each individual, and the type
of reaction also differs. For exam
ple, a mother may be allergic to
milk; her child inheriting the tend
ency may be allergic to fish.
Drinking milk may give the
mother an attack of asthma; eat
ing fish may cause the child to
break out with hives.
—★—
Trouble-Making Foods
It is .difficult to generalize re
garding the foods that cause trou
ble, because they vary so widely
among individuals who are sensi
tized, and often one person is sen
sitized to a number of foods. It has
been found that the foods most fre
quently causing allergic symp
toms include wheat, milk, eggs,
chocolate, pork, fish and shellfish,
tomatoes, cauliflower, cabbage,
strawberries and oranges.
Skin rashes are believed to be
caused most frequently by hyper
sensitiveness to milk, cereal or
pork. Hives are reported to occur
often from eating strawberries,
chocolate, fish and tomatoes.
Wheat is frequently an offender in
migraine headaches. Asthma
seems to be common in persons
who are sensitive to milk, eggs
and butter.
—★—
Other Offending Substances
Foods are not always responsi
ble for allergy, and the symptoms
may be produced by contact with
wool, feathers, dust, pollen, dander
from horses or other animals; or
even the sting of a bee.
—★—
Discovering the Offenders
The ideal procedure for the al
lergy victim is to find out the of
fending foods or substances and
avoid them. For early recognition
of a tendency to allergy may pre
vent discomfort and trouble.
There are two ways to discover

FOODS TEAT OFTEN
CAUSE TROUBLE
C. Houston Goudiss
will gladly send you,
FREE, a chart showing
which foods have been
found most frequently to
cause allergic reactions,
and also those which are
the least likely to cause trou
ble. Just state your request

6 East 39th Street, New York City.
the trouble makers. One is to
learn by experience, either by
keeping a record of the foods eat
en and noting the appearance of
symptoms, or by eliminating from
the diet, first one and then another
of the foods that are suspected of
causing difficulty. The other is to
let your doctor conduct simple
skin tests. Small scratches are
made on the arms and legs, and
each scratch touched with a solu
tion made of the protein of a food
or substance known to cause trou
ble. If a person is allergic to that
substance, the skin around the
scratch swells and becomes in
flamed. The inflammation disap
pears after a few hours and causes
no pain or inconvenience.
—★—
Other Foods Must Be Used
Once the offending food or foods
are determined, they should be
eliminated either for all time or
until the individual becomes de
sensitized. If the trouble maker
is an uncommon food, such as lob
ster or clams, the allergy presents
no great problem, but when chil
dren react to necessary foods such
as milk, eggs and wheat, the
homemaker faces a difficult task.
When milk is the offending food,
it must be avoided, not only as a
beverage, but in bread, cakes and
puddings. Sometimes dried or
evaporated iriilk, goat’s milk or
soy bean milk may be used in
stead. When wheat is the trouble
maker, the alternatives include
cornstarch, rice flour, potato or
rye flour; rice and corn cereals;
tapioca or barley. When hen’s
eggs are injurious, duck’s eggs
can sometimes be used with suc
cess, or meat or fish may be sub
stituted.
Sometimes after a period of ex
clusion, an immunity is built up
so that later the foods may be re
introduced gradually into the diet.
—★—
Don't Jump to Conclusions
It must be borne in mind tba^
many of the symptoms produced
by food sensitivity may also resolt
from other causes. For this rea-<
son, it is unwise to decide that one
is allergic without due investiga
tion. Nor must the imagination or
the current widespread discussion
of the subject be allowed to causo
adults or children to mask thetr
unwillingness to eat certain foods
with the false notion that they are
unduly sensitive.
On the other hand, homemakers;
should be sympathetic with both
children and adults who say with
good cause, “I can’t eat that!”
And it would appear that there
may even be some compensation
in this unpleasant situation. For
a group of scientists who have
studied the subject announced a
few years ago that those who be
long to the allergy group appear
to have a definite capacity for be
coming intellectually superior.
Thus, the child who suffers from
a skin rash or stuffy nose today,
due to food sensitivity, is apt to be
full of energy when he reaches
manhood and exhibit unusual abil
ity for cultural leadership.
