Buy Wash Fabrics That Are : Fast Color, Non-Shrinkable By CHERIE NICHOLAS JT IS no wonder that smart cot- * tons and other wash materials have attained to dizzy heights of style prestige, which is especially true this season,Jfpr they are amaz ingly lovely and versatile, and tune to every occasion, formal or infor mal. However, their attractiveness is by no means their chief lure, for the really grand and glorious thing about most modern washables is the promise they carry of being both fast color and non-shrinkable. Mod ern science has worked miracles in this particular. Which should be particularly encouraging to mothers who are outfitting little daughter with pretty new dresses for spring and summer. For peace of mind it is only necessary to demand, when buying wash materials, the kinds that carry non-fade and' non-shrink assurance. The materials that go to make up the charming dresses pictured take on added interest when you know they will not fade neither will they shrink. For everyday wear in class room and happy carefree hours of the day the shirtmaker dirndl type dress shown to the right couldn’t help but satisfy the pride of most any little style-alert girl. It is made of a sanforized-shrunk slub broadcloth in a smart triple stripe design, with white collar and trim on the sleeves. Shopping in wash-fabric sections these days is as refreshing an expe rience as walking through gardens abloom, with spring flowers. The Swiss voile florals especially make you feel just like that, they are so realistically flower-patterned in col ors that are breathtaking in beauty. If there is one sort of frock more than another that will make a dainty little maiden look her prettiest it is a dress of flower-printed sheer and to prove it the adorable child to the left in the picture says inviting ly, “look at me!” She is wearing a dress of fairyspun lawn, which, being pre-shrunk, will wash like a dream, and what’s more the beauti ful print is fast color, assured by the use of vat-dye. You can get these dainty, sheer lawns in the newest color schemes, both in flow ered and conventional patternings. The shops show dresses made up that are surprisingly inexpensive, and so pretty you will want several. Which all goes to show the chic, the charm and the dependable wear ableness of the wash materials that go to make up the new showings. By the way, had you heard that ging ham is making style-high fashion news for spring and summer? Not only are little girls wearing it with their usual enthusiasm for this ever attractive and colorful wash weave, but mother and big sister are order ing tailored suits made of it, for fashion decrees gingham as fashion able to wear about town, at the club and to bridge parties or wher ever you go during the active rounds of the day. Gingham also is the “pet” of the teen-age for party and prom evening frocks. Speaking of frocks for party wear, when you go fabric-seeking be sure to look over the showings of cloque organdies. © Western Newspaper Union.

The jacket doesn’t meet, so a sparkling white gilet shows at the front. The skirt is slightly gathered and has a row of ribbon applique down the front. From Molyneaux comes a suit that combines a rose-colored box jacket with a skirt of soft brown. The jacket has re vers and pockets of brown. Hat Shapes Most Important Item This spring the shape of a hat will be more important than its trim ming. Straws are spreading out, enormous brims in odd shapes—pa lettes, or shovels or fans. Others, halo style, are tied on with ban danas, mammy style. Doll hats—if you still like ’em—in straw with stiffly starched veils; the inevitable ^jhool girl sailor; felts, their crowns blocked in odd shapes; straws with brims like royal crowns, will all be good. Recent Arrival in Millinery Realm One of the latest arrivals in the domain of hats is the black felt sail or with rolled brim—the padre style with very flat crown and slightly up turned brim on each side. To re lieve its severity and give it a dis tinctly feminine touch, it is draped with a cyclamen-pink mesh veil gathered at the shallow crown to fall loosely over the face.

PAUL WORKS A HARD FIELD LESSON TEXT—Acts 18:1, 4-11; I Corin- fchians 2:1-5. GOLDEN TEXT—I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.— Philippians 4:13. “Sissy!” That one word uttered with the depth of scorn of which only a school boy is capable, is enough to ruin the happiness of the one toward whom it is directed. The writer of these notes has a manly son of eight years of age who has many ambitions in his young heart, but one great fear, namely, that he may do something that will mark him as a “sissy.” It is a commendable thing that boys should feel that way, provided, of course, that they are properly in structed in home and church so that they know that real manly courage does not mean being a ruffian or an ungodly person. One could wish that more of that spirit were evident in the Christian Church. We really have all too many professed believers who are “soft”—iafraid of the hard blows of life. These people tell young folk both by word and deed that Chris tianity is a religion for the soft hearted and sentimental, when as a matter of fact it calls for all the red-blooded vitality of the strongest man and woman. Here is a place for the boy or girl, man or woman who has a backbone and the spirit of the pioneer. It is a great and glorious battle in which we are en gaged. Paul knew it and lived it. In the progress of his ministry we find him at Athens (Acts 17), where a brilliant appeal to the philoso phers of that place brought little result. From thence he comes to Corinth, one of the greatest and most wicked cities of the day. Here he meets a difficult task. I. Human Inability (Acts 18:1, 4- 8). To call a man a “Corinthian” was to label him as a drunkard and a libertine. The town was really tough and Paul walked right into that impossible situation to preach the gospel. He naturally first went to the Jews in the synagogue, but when he preached Christ they made short work of putting him out. Rather we should say he very def initely separated himself from them. Consider the graphic picture in verse 6. But he didn’t go far, he set up his testimony for Christ in the house next door, where God had a believer all prepared to re ceive him. The preacher of the truth may move, but he does not run away from God’s appointed place. Opposition was evidently keen, and as Paul came and went the leaders in the synagogue would probably meet him and make known their plans to destroy him. This, added to the opposition of the wicked city, was enough fc) discour age any man. He had some results (v. 8), but on the whole he had to struggle with the heartbreak of an impossible task. But the hour of man’s extremity is the time of God’s opportunity. There comes II. Divine Encouragement (Acts 18:9-11). God never tries His people be yond their ability to bear. It is not always given to His servants to have the assurance of success which came to Paul, but in all probability they do not face such staggering discouragement. In any case, those who have walked in the valley as well as on the mountain top with the Lord testify that He gives strength in the hour of weakness to all those who trust Him. Paul was assured that no bodily i harm would come to him and that he was not to think that he was alone, for there were many of God’s people even in that wicked city. Safety and fellowship were thus as sured, and none too soon, for al most at once a bitter persecution broke out against him. Read verses 12-17. Note that the assurance of God’s protecting care does not mean that we shall escape trials and sor rows, but that we are to be kept in the midst of them. III. The Secret of Victory (I Cor. 2:15). Looking back on his ministry in Corinth, Paul writes of the secret of his successful work there. This is a passage that every teacher and preacher of God’s Word should prayerfully ponder. Eloquence, hu man wisdom, and self-confidence may be the basis of success in the things of the world, but not in the ministry of the gospel. How well we know that the most carefully rea soned and well-phrased message may be utterly flat and powerless, while the stumbling utterance from a heart full of the love and grace of God “becomes a fire and a searching and a burning, because the Holy Spirit catches it up and bears it upon the inner conscious ness of men” (Morgan). The man who preaches without his soul atremble with the sacredness of his task, his own unworthiness, and an appreciation of the power of God, may be eloquent and learned, but he will accomplish little for God OP° SEw 4^'" Ruth Wyeth Spears Pocket for dish towels.

'T'HE National Safety council re- ports that automobile drivers reach the peak of their skill and ability after 20 years of age. Recent studies, said the council, indicate that drivers under 20 years of*age have the highest ac cident rate. This rate decreases quite steadily to the age of about 50, and then increases sharply. Uncle Phil JS&uis If They Give Their Best Men should be judged,' not by what they do, but by how well they do it. Knowledge 'of our duties is often as important as the per formance thereof. Some people are way up in the social scale because they are too light to bring the scale down. Bliss in Ignoring A certain amount of ignorance is necessary to the enjoyment of our existence. When you envy the fellow with a pull, get a little more push into your system. If a tree is so crooked that it makes a picture, some prim, prissy person will want it cut down.
