1 \ 9 i / » V Important Fashions In Simple Patterns X HE smock-frock is really a fashion, not just a comfortable maternity dress. It’s smart and young and practical. No. 1833 is a version of it that may be worn for afternoon, because the pleats, in both the smock top and the ad justable slip skirt, give it a touch of dressiness. Make it of flat crepe, thin wool or georgette. Good for a Whole Wardrobe. Unusually useful is the pretty frock for little girls (1836) because it can be made in two ways—with round collar and frills, or with the plain square neckline. Therefore you can thriftily make a whole wardrobe for your own small daughter, by using this simple pattern again and again. School cottons, like gingham or linen, as well as challis and jersey, are smart fabrics for it. No. 1833 is designed for sizes 14, 16, 18, 20, 40 and 42. Size 16 re quires 5% yards of 39-inch mate rial with short sleeves; 5% yards with long sleeves; 1% yards for the top of the slip; % yard for contrasting revers, cuffs, collar.

Often children’s keen obser vations may point out unrec ognized faults in parents. Efforts at fair government always appreciated. By HILDA RICHMOND CEVEN mothers were busily sew- ^ ing in the living-room, while outside under the open windows their children played noisily. There had been a call for children’s gar ments for a large family whose home had been destroyed by fire. The sewing machines raced and nee dles flashed. Presently the children, exhausted from a wilc^ game, sat down on the grass to rest, and their shrill young voices carried into the living-room at a time when the sewing machines happened to be si lent. “My mother never, never would do such a thing!” were the first words that were heard. “If I had been bad like Jimmy, she would have called me home, and if I’d had to be punished nobody would have seen it.” “Mine, too,” agreed three more young critics. “I’m glad my mother doesn’t do things like that,” spoke up a very earnest young voice. “And another thing she never does is to make me sit still when there’s company.” “No,” interrupted another, “if I come in with my hands and face washed clean and shake hands, then my mother tells me I may be ex cused to go and play.” “That’s the way my mother does. Ruth’s mother makes her sit still the whole time and it’s awful hard.” “Ruth would be as careful as any body, when there is company, not to get noisy if her mother would—” “Yes, my goodness! It’s hard to sit still for an hour and have noth ing to play with, and that’s what Ruth’s mother wants her to do. I heard her scolding about it.” “Well, I’m glad my mother is not like Bob’s. Bob never gets a chance to choose about anything. His moth er decides where he shall go and what he shall do, whether it’s im portant or not.” “My mother lets me have my say about most things,” “So does mine.” This last was in chorus. Long before this, all conversation in the living-room had ceased, and the mothers were listening breath lessly. “I’m afraid they will begin on our faults if they continue this open forum,” said one mother. Children Ask Fair Government. “Let them,” said another. “It is doing us good to be praised, and the hearing of our faults will not hurt us.” “Bless their little hearts,” said a third, “I never dreamed they were such keen observers. And aren’t they loyal to us!” “And they are right,” said the hostess. “I think it is a shame the way Mrs. Lottey comes out with a switch in her hand to hunt her chil dren. She won’t injure their bod ies with that little stick, but I’m afraid she may injure her oppor tunity to gain their confidence, with her cast-iron methods of govern ment.” “I’ll tell you what let’s do,” said another mother suddenly, wishing to prevent further criticism of their, neighbor. “Let’s give our darling instructors a little treat. I have some ice cream in the refrigerator, and it will only take a minute to bring it over.” “Good! I baked fresh cookies this morning, and they will go nicely with the ice cream,” said another. The children were astonished at the feast suddenly spread before them as they sat on the grass, but they were not too astonished to do their part with their hearty young appetites. “Such a surprise!” “Why didn’t you tell us?” “May we call to Bob and his sis ter to come over?” “I’ll say this is swell!” Chattering and eating, and drink ing quantities of pink lemonade, the children continued their picnic until the last drop and crumb were con sumed, while the mothers, sewing silently, thanked God in their hearts that their little children saw and ap preciated their loving efforts at fair government, and they humbly asked for more light, more patience and more skill. National Kindergarten Association (WNU Service.) Ultraviolet Meat Storage Longer storage of meat and other food without spoiling or changes of color is made possible by the use of ultraviolet radiation combined with other more usual food preservation practices, Professor Arthur W. Ewell of the Worcester Polytechnic insti tute told the American Society of Re frigerating Engineers at a recent meeting, according to Science Serv ice. The germ-killing effect of the radiation, now being set to work for bacterial purposes in a dozen dif ferent fields ranging from steriliz ing the air in hospital operating rooms to the packing industry, can be attributed to its power of form ing ozone from the oxygen in the air, Professor Ewell declared. Coffee and waffles are star performers for Sunday breakfast. See Recipe Below. At the Sound of the Breakfast Bell Five mornings a week there’s a last-minute scramble to get to school on time, and a mad dash to beat the boss to the office—and too frequently the all-important busi ness of eating breakfast is neglect ed. Maybe the breakfast menu needs revising, or needs a “beau ty treatment” to increase its ap petite appeal. If all homemak ers would join the standard of American breakfasts, it would be a long step in the direction of happi ness and well being for the family. Breakfast needn’t be elaborate to be good, but it should consist of foods well chosen and well prepared to tempt the appetites of members of the family who aren’t ordinarily in terested in this first meal of the day.

Lesson for October 22 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. THE CITIZENS OF THE KINGDOM LESSON TEXT—Matthew 5:1-16. GOLDEN TEXT—Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.—Matthew 5:16. Great and historic discourses are preserved with care and are read by succeeding generation? with profit and interest even though they are recognized to be the utterances of weak and fallible men. The les son before us presents what is “un doubtedly the greatest single dis course ever uttered by any teacher or statesman or philosopher in the whole history of the human race” (Smith). Take up your Bible and read the words of the text. These verses are addressed to be lievers, to those who have actually taken Christ as king of their lives. These beatitudes are not a substi tute for the gospel. They are not laws that the unbeliever can keep and thus be saved, for this would be utterly impossible for anyone to do, except the one who has been born again. Only he who knows and has called upon the power and grace of God in Christ can qualify to walk as a citizen of His kingdom. I. The Christian’s King (vv. 1, 2). The words which fell from the blessed lips of the Lord Jesus on that day as He sat on the mountain side were not the powerless declara tions of an earthly philosopher or statesman, but of the Son of God who had humbled Himself and be come the Son of Man who was still the King of kings and the Lord of lords. If you have not given glad and free allegiance to Him, do it now and you will then be ready to go on and learn of the Christian’s character and influence which may be your possession in Christ. II. The Christian’s Character (w. 3-12). The eight characteristics of the Christian here presented are worthy of extended individual attention, but we can offer only brief sugges tions. “Blessed are the poor in spirit” speaks of humility as a commend able quality. How contradictory the present-day philosophy which calls for self-assertion and self-reliance. But Jesus is not mistaken. The way into the kingdom of heaven is not that of assertive self-sufficiency. “Blessed are they that mourn.” The world does not believe that statement. It shuns the house ol mourning. It tries without avail to philosophize away the fact of sor row. The Christian, on the other hand, feels with his fellow man and thus receives a blessing. "I walked a mile with Pleasure, She chattered all the way; But left me none the wiser For all she had to say. ”1 walked a mile with Sorrow, And ne’er a word said she; But, oh, the things I learned from her When Sorrow walked with me.” “Blessed are the meek.” Ah, yes, poverty of spirit comes when a man rightly sees himself, and has a sym pathetic touch with sorrow. Then he “inherits the earth,” because he tru ly comes to enjoy it as a place ol service and Christian growth, and not because he has a deed to a single foot of its soil. “Note that it is the hunger and thirst for righteousness, and not the possession of it, that is blessed” (Plummer). Self-satisfied people know nothing of the glory of having such a hunger and thirst filled b> God. Time fails us to speak of the Christian’s spirit of mercy which in vites divine mercy; that purity ol heart and absolute cleanness ol mind and sincerity of purpose which enable a man really to see God even in this impure world; that Christlike spirit which makes him a peacemaker in a fighting world- yes, that spirit which makes him like the Master in sweetly bearing unjustified persecution. These in deed are the marks of the man who follows Christ as King. HI. The Christian’s Influence (vv. 13-16). “Salt” and “light”! What pungent and powerful folk are the real fol lowers of Christ! Salt fights against rottenness, keeps things sweet and fresh. Dr J. H. Jowett says, Christians “are to confront rottenness in poli tics; they are to meet it in the realm of business; they are to make for it in the field of sport; they are to be its enemies in the crowded streets of common intercourse; they are to defeat it in the quiet and se questered ways of art and litera ture; everywhere they are to pro vide the antidote to corruption, and they are to overcome and destroy it.” Light has one function, namely, to illuminate. Wickedness and sin al ways love darkness, because their deeds are evil (read John 3:19-21). If Christ really dwells in us we can not help but shed light about ua wherever we go—a divine light which drives out the darkness of sin, of ignorance, of superstition, and re. places it with the sunlight of God.
