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.

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.

PAUL WINS RECOGNITION
FOR GENTILE CHRISTIANS
LESSON TEXT—Acts 15:23-29; Galatians
2:1 2 9. 10.
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.

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.
