McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMiCK, S. C., THURSDAY, APRIL 20, 1939 Hats With Veiling Galore Are in a Capricious Mood By CHERIE NICHOLAS jV/f ILLINERY has indeed come ' . 1 into its own this spring. The new hats are everything a spring hat should be—the most refreshing ly springlike hats that have graced fashion’s stage for many a season In them romance in millinery has been recaptured. The very ’ ecstasy of spring breathes through the flowers that bedeck the pretty straws and through the ribbons and fantastic scarf trimmings on colorful felts and suedes, likewise through the dainty lace and immaculate lingerie trims, new this season, and through the glorified spring colorings and beyond all the final touch of charm is achieved via mists of frivolous whimsical veiling that swirls and whirls and cuts pretty capers throughout the entire picture. You can be as choosy as you like in selecting your spring bonnet. Whether you decide on one of the very new and amusing elfish tall crowns that style the latest models or whether you declare in favor of a crownless type, whether your hat be huge of brim or have no brim at all (flower toques with pert bon bon colored veils are quite the rage) whether it be a breton or Gibson girl sailor you choose, or if you are ultra enough to want one of the very smart Paris-inspired bonnet types that tie under the chin, no mat ter in what direction fancy leads you, you can’t go wrong in fashion’s eyes. New in crowns is the postilion. See it pictured in the group to the left above. This model in miniature blue (an attractive blue featured this season) felt is trimmed with contrasting plaid taffeta ribbon and an allover crisp blue veil. Plaids and stripes have invaded the mil linery world with great display. Hat and bag sets of striking plaids or stripes are among the fetching con ceits that tune to the enthusiasm shown for high color. Veilings galore are enlivening the millinery scene this spring. Tl*. hat without a veil is the exception rather than the rule. In arranging veils you are supposed to do just as fancy dictates, the more whimsical, the more erratic, the more altogeth er adorably irresponsible so far as following form and conventions, the smarter. Navy is classic for spring suits, coats and dresses. The navy blue hat of chic peach-basket variety shown below to the left in the pic ture is topped off with a cluster of soft pink ribbon bows nestled in side the top of the crown. A sheer navy veil is draped around the crown with ends flying in the back. This model is also available in other fashionable color combinations. Black hats with colorful accents are an accepted mode for dressy spring wear. The crown of the black felt Wateau, shown above to the right, is sprightly decked with chartreuse and fuchsia flowers. The big bow at the back is of stiff char treuse veiling. With her black lace afternoon dress Hildegarde, glamorous Amer ican radio songstress, wears a black felt turban with bright Tuscan straw brim as pictured below to the right in the group. The newer shallow-crowned bre- tons stress forward moving slightly rolled brims higher at the back than front as pictured in the inset below. This charming model is a Pixie green felt with contrasting veil and ribbon band in navy. It is also seen in various other color combina tions. © Western Newspaper Union. \ Bouquet Bracelets Newest fashion whimsy is to wear bouquet bracelets matched to the color of your nails. Flowers on a band of velvet that are matched to nail-polish shades will make your hands the talk of the card table. Flowers in fuchsia are matched to fuchsia polish, pale faun-pink buds are matched to regency, tulip nails match tiny tulips. Winning hands at beauty as well as at card table may be graced with dainty orchids at each wrist as pictured. Aromatic Earrings Perfumed earrings are a recent Whimsy. They come in the form of tiny metal flowers, in color to match your ensemble. The perfume fra grance rises through a gold mesh center from a wad of cotton insert ed below. Combining Jacket Being Modernized The fussy ‘‘combining jacket” that mother used to wear has been super seded by a trim rubber cape which has many other uses besides keep ing stray hairs from settling on a clean dress or blouse. Slipped on and off in a jiffy, it is ideal for re pairing complexions and for wash ing up at odd moments when there isn’t time to disrobe. One of the newest make-up capes on the market has a little pocket in the form of a flower for holding hair pins, powder puff, or comb. The soft rubberized fabric takes to soap and water like a dish cloth, thus making it possible to keep its deli, cate pastel colors flower-fresh. Fashion Designers Turn Lilac-Minded Each season this flower or that flower is especially featured. Paris milliners have turned lilac-minded this spring, either trimming with li lac clusters or in some instances making toques and even tiny sailor hats of them. Wear a lilac spray on your dark or light coat, it is one of the popular flowers of the moment in fashion’s realm. Carnations are also worn. Checked Costume It is considered smart this season to have at least one Shepherd’s checked costume in the wardrobe. Silk for Action Washable and noncrushable silks for active sportwear have been en dorsed by Paris. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY B chool Lesson By REV. HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST.

GOLDEN TEXT—A man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ.—Galatians 2:16. Persecution from outside was soon followed by what was even more serious—difficulty within the Church. If Satan cannot destroy God’s work in one way, he cun ningly tries another plan.. Although the first council at Jerusalem (Acts 11) had decided that ‘‘to the Gen tiles also hath God granted repent ance unto life,” the question did not stay settled, for there were persist ent Judaizing teachers who now contendect that even though the Gentiles could be saved, they had to come into the Church by way of Judaism and first fullfill the Jewish rite of circumcision. I. A Serious Difference of Opinion —Grace Versus Law The story of how this vital and fundamental question came up is found in the early verses of Acts 15. The entire future of the gospel ministry was in a sense dependent on the solution of this problem. Christianity is the onfy religious faith in * the world that presents justification by grace as the way of redemption; all others follow (more or less) the path of salvation by works. The question now was: Shall works of the law be mingled with grace—can Jesus Christ alone save men, or is salvation through Jesus Christ plus something else? How was such a serious question to be settled? Should argument and strife be permitted to go on until the stronger party prevailed? Bet ter judgment indicated the desira bility of II. A Christian Method of Settle ment—Council not Controversy There may be times when it be comes the duty of the Christian worker to take an uncompromising stand for the truth of God and re fuse to be moved, come what may. But certainly there should be no such spirit in dealing with differing interpretations of Scripture on the part of sincere and earnest Chris tian brethren. How much would be gained in the Church today if, instead of magnifying, differences and permitting personal desires and ambitions to intervene, men were willing to sit down in the spirit of Christ around the tables of Chris tian council and brotherhood, pre sided over and directed by the Holy Spirit (see Acts 15:28). The whole question was honestly and carefully considered by the sec ond council at Jerusalem, with the result that there was a vindication of the preachers of God’s grace. After presenting a plain disavowal of those who had troubled them and subverted their souls (what a seri ous thing it is to teach error con cerning God’s Word!), the council being of one accord, gave recogni tion to Paul and Barnabas as men who had ‘‘hazarded their lives for the name of the Lord Jesus” and were worthy of confidence and sup port. No man should think more highly of himself than he ought. Humility is a Christian grace which well be fits a sinner saved by grace. But the Bible abounds with admonitions to honor one another, to recognize the laborer as being worthy of his hire, to give recognition to those who are over us in the Lord. The brethren at Jerusalem were thoughtful and courteous enough to so honor and encourage Paul and Barnabas. We could well follow their example in recognition of faithful servants of Christ in our own church or Community. HI. A Momentous Decision—Sal vation by Grace The final decision of the council is sent not only by Paul and Barna bas, but also by a committee from Jerusalem, a gracious gesture of fellowship. Courtesy is not out of place in dealing with even such dif ficult things as controversies on Christian doctrine—in fact it should be most in place in such a situation. As a matter of record (a wise procedure in such a case), a letter was sent which, after addressing the Gentiles as “brethren,” re viewed the history of the matter and then, without mentioning cir cumcision .at all, puts upon the Gen tiles “no greater burden than the necessary things.” And what were these? Those things which relate to purity of life as those who were enjoying Christian liberty. The law of Moses need not be kept as a ground of salvation. They were saved by grace. But grace can never be the cloak of careless liv ing, nor can liberty in Christ be interpreted as license to live in sin. We are set free in Christ, not that we may sin, but that we may “go and sin no more.” Blessed Day Blessed is the day whose morn ing is sanctified! Successful is the day whose first victory is won by prayer! Holy is the day whose dawn finds thee on the top of the mount!—Joseph Parker. HCWJQ 4^ Ruth Wyeth Spears 3 BLACK AND 2 PEACOCK BLUE OVALS - BORDER RUST RED, BLACK AND PEA COCK BLUE THE FIRST ROW OF EACH OVAL I4&LONG Grandmother Surprised Everyone. VES, a certain grandmother sur- A prised everybody—even her self. • She had always enjoyed making hit and miss rag rugs in cheery colors. Then one day her favorite grandson brought home the girl he was going to marry. She was a bright young thing, and chattered away about color schemes for her new home. The living room and hall were to be peacock blue and rust with touches of black. “Well, peacock is just a greenish blue,” thought Grandmother, “and rust is a bnownish red.” So she got out her dye pot and her best wool rags, and she mixed and she dipped and dipped again. Then, instead of sewing her braided rags into one big oval, she made five ovals of the size shown here—3 black and 2 blue. She sewed these together, then around them came 4 rows of rust; 2 rows of black next; then 4 of rust; 1 of black; 4 blue; 2 black; then 8 rows of blue around the outside. When the wedding day arrived this gift was a great surprise; even Grandmother was amazed at how handsome it looked at the foot of the stairs in the new house. Women everywhere are using their leisure to make their homes more attractive, with slipcovers; curtains; bedspreads and lamp shades. They are again taking up embroidery and handwork so that they may beautify their homes and there is a revival of interest in old time hand crafts. Mrs. Spears’ Book 1, SEWING for the Home Decorator, and No. 2, Gifts, Novelties and Embroid ery, clearly chart the way for you. If the old craft of rag rug making is your new hobby, you may have free Mrs. Spears’ leaflet on rag rugs with your order for both books at 25 cents each. Address, Mrs. Spears, 210 S.
