( McCORMICK MESSENGER. McCORMICK. S. C.. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 1940 Fashion Designed For Large Women IT’S a button-front style (1902-B) A which is one thing decidedly to recommend it, and this suave, simple dress has lots of other good points, too. It can be made with plain v-neckline and edged with bias fold. Or it can be made with a narrow roll collar as its only trimming. Sleeves are either short or three-quarter length. It’s simple and unhampering enough for house wear, in gingham, linen I902.-B or chambray; also tailored enough for the street, in thin wool, flat crepe or small-figured print. It has just the detailing you like, if you have size to consider—a bodice deftly gathered for correct bust fit, beneath a smooth shoul der-yoke, a slim-hipped skirt, and a waistline drawn in by a sash bow or buckled belt. Everything about it is slenderizing as well as smart. Barbara Bell Pattern No. 1902-B is designed for sizes 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, and 52. Size 38 re quires 4% yards of 39-inch mate rial without nap; with short sleeves; 4% yards with three-quar ter; 3Ya yards braid or bias fold, or % yard contrast for collar. For a pattern of this attractive model send 15 cents in coin, your name, address, style, number and size to The Sewing Circle Pattern Dept., Room 1324, 211 W. Wacker Dr., Chicago, 111.

ESCRE 10 By VIRGINIA VALE (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) M OVIE stars who don’t take a turn at radio are scarcer than hen’s teeth these days. ZaSu Pitts, who has done a num ber of guest appearances on the air, is serving a thirteen-weeks term on a daily serial, “Big Sis ter,” playing a character part. And Aileen Pringle is playing a newspaper woman on another serial, “Joyce Jordan—Girl In terne.” Ilka Chase isn’t bothering with se rials; she is coming out into the open and being herself, in a pro gram sponsored by a cigarette com pany. It is something new in radio —a program about the woman’s world, the world of the theater, fash ion, current events and society, and it is called “Luncheon at the Wal dorf.” Each Saturday Miss Chase enter tains 50 guests at this very smart hotel. They are people prominent in journalistic, theatrical and fash ion fields, and one of them is inter viewed during each broadcast. If the guests are as witty as Miss Chase is the program should speedi ly reach top rating. You’ve heard her as the commentator on those fashion films of Vyvyan Donner’s, made for Twentieth Century-Fox; you’ve also seen her on the screen. * When Joan Fontaine and Brian Aherne were married a short time ago there was no time for a honey moon trip; she was working in “Rebecca,” and he was busy with “My Son, My Son.” But he had time to plan what he considered a perfect trip; they had been asked to appear togeth er in a stage play, and they’d hop from one city to another in his plane, having a fine time. Mrs. Brian Aherne pppilf fiHMjaiBi Joan Fontaine Aherne agreed. But — he took her down to Del Monte in the plane to see some friends. On the way home they ran into chilly weather. When they landed at the airport, she announced that her nose was practically froz en, and she’d take no long trips in the open cock pit of that plane. Nothing daunted, Aherne prompt ly turned the plane in and ordered a cabin monoplane. Then the play was called off until autumn, and the tour of the country was shortened to a trip to New York, where they plan to remain until the first of May. During their stay their recent pic tures will be shown at the Music Hall, which is a nice wedding pres ent in itself. * Incidentally, Edward Small is practically snowed under by letters from young men who want to por tray Rudolph Valentino in the pic ture based on the life of the Great Lover. About 10,000 letters and pho tographs have already arrived, as a result of Small’s announcement that he intends to use an unknown player in the role. —*— Jean Hersholt has completed pro duction on his second “Dr. Chris tian” movie. He formed his own motion picture company to film the story of “Dr. Christian,” a role which he has played on the air for three years, until it is now one of the most popular dramatic broad casts on the air. Hersholt will soon start looking for a site upon which a home for aged and disabled actors will be built; he is president of the Motion Picture Relief fund, and the money for the home comes from the movie stars’ own program, “Tha Screen Guild Show,” to which they donate their talent. * ODDS AND ENDS—Janet Logan, Par amount starlet, first attracted the attention of a talent scout because of her beautiful clothes (she is really one of Hollywood’s best dressed girls) ; yet in her first feature picture she wears an old fashioned bed sheet draped into a coverall. C. The CBS sound man on “Grand Hotel” has two eyes on Betty Lou Gerson’s pet bracelet; one is for keeping it off her wrist during broadcasts, the other covets it for filing under “sleigh-bells effects” C. Howard Hughes has given a completely equipped ambulance to the Canadian Red Cross for its No. I base hospital in Eng land. (1. And Katharine Hepburn is helping him to find an actress who will be as great a “discovery” as Jean Harlow. C. Gene Autrey, the cowboy star of screen and radio, likes to fly, except when it’s time to go to bed. He always travels in full cowboy regalia. It’s hard enough to remove cowboy boots under the most fa vorable circumstances; when he climbs into a sleeper berth on a plane, he can’t take his boots off. He’s either got to stop flying or stop wearing cowboy clothes when he travels. Household Neuis ■■■ CHOOSE DESSERT TO FIT MAKEUP OF MEAL (See Recipes Below) What Shall I Serve for Dessert? To most of us “something sweet” served at the close of a meal is as important as the main dish itself. For dessert, men undoubtedly have a penchant for such substantial item as pie, ice cream and chocolate cake; but they seem to like the homey, less spectacular desserts al most as much. Baked apples, old- fashioned apple dumplings, rice pud ding and fresh fruit desserts are masculine favorites and they’re sim ple enough to suit the youngsters of the family, too. You’ll find sugges tions and recipes for the desserts that father likes, in my cook book, “Feeding Father.” When you choose a dessert, con sider first the meal as a whole—is it substantial or light? If it’s a hearty, heavy meal, choose a light dessert, because appetites are likely to be pretty well satisfied by the time the dessert course appears. On the other hand, if the meal has been light, a hearty, satisfying sweet course is in order. Choose your dessert, too, to fit the general make-up of the meal. Don’t forget that contrast is impor tant. If you’ve had a fruit salad, avoid serving a fruit dessert; if Spanish rice or macaroni made up the main dish of the meal don’t serve a starchy sweet. And speaking of desserts: when your facilities for entertaining are limited, why not plan a “dessert party”? Invite your guests to skip their dessert at home, and have it with you. Dessert, with a beverage, is all you serve—and you serve it before the bridge playing or other entertainment begins. Fruit Macaroon Dessert.

(Released by Western Newspaper Union.) IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL chool Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D. •Dean of The Moody Bible Institute „ ' of Chicago. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for March 3 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. IN THE UPPER ROOM LESSON TEXT- GOLDEN TEXT of me.—I Corinthians'11:24, —Wthew 26:17-30. ’—’Rjis do in remembrance linns' 11 •OA Men sometimes stand at the cross roads of destiny quue unaware of how much hinges upon' their choices and actions. One wonders whether the disciples realized that as the Passover drew to its end and the great memorial feast of the new covenant was established, they were witnessing the end of the old and the beginning of the new. It is certain that Jesus did realize the high im port of that hour. He knew He was about to go to the cross, toward which the Passover had pointed throughout the centuries and back to which cross we in the Lord’s Sup per continue to point as we remem ber His death until He comes. We are indeed on holy ground as we go with Him then as He meets His disciples alone in that upper room for a time of fellowship with them as He observes I. The Last Passover (w. 17-20). “Here we see the perfecting and the passing of the old economy and the beginning of the new. The Pass- over was observed, the feast of deliverance from slavery, the feast of the exodus, the feast of hope. Men had kept it fitfully through the long centuries, regularly at first and then occasionally through the age of decadence. The King sat down to keep it as one of the nation and the people. That was its last keeping in the economy of God, because all that it had foreshadowed was ful filled as He ^sat at the board, and all that it had pointed to found the ultimate fulfillment in Him. He completed that of which the exodus had but been the preparation. The final exodus came by the way of that cross to which He was going” (Dr. G. Campbell Morgan). II. The Betrayal Predicted (w. 21-25). What precious fellowship the twelve and their Lord must have had around that table in the upper room as they celebrated the great feast of their people. Think what a shock came to them as in the midst of this fellowship Jesus quiet ly and solemnly made the astonish ing prediction, “Verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.” Their joy was changed to exceed ingly great sorrow as they asked, “Lord, is it I?” Apparently Judas had maintained such outward con duct as to turn no suspicion in his direction, even though all along he had in his heart the blackest of treachery against his Lord. It is a sad and soul-searching fact which is here revealed, that it is possible for one to make a high profession of faith in Christ and even so to live as to give no cause for criti cism, and yet to be unregenerate and in fact the enemy of Christ. Observe (v. 24) that while Jesus was betrayed and went to the cross in fulfillment of prophecy, that fact did not in the slightest justify His enemies who brought it about (see Acts 2:23, R. V.). IH. The First Communion (w. 26- 30). Taking the unleavened bread and the unfermented wine of the Pass- over, which had just been observed by Him for the last time, Jesus established a new feast, the Chris tian feast of remembrance, which we commonly call “communion” or “the Lord’s table.” As we have already suggested, it is a feast of remembrance. “For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup ye do show the Lord’s death till He come” (I Cor. 11:26). At the Lord’s table His followers find spiritual strength in remem bering His death for them, and they also find joy as they remember that He is to come again. In doing so they testify to the world that they believe in and cherish these truths. This feast is also rightly called “communion,” for down through the ages and until He does come the saints of God have at His table sweet communion, first of all with Him, and then with one another. We also note that our Lord spoke of the cup as “my blood of the new testament.” The word “testament” means “covenant.” The Lord’s table therefore speaks of our alle giance to Him, of our loyalty to our Lord, and our devotion to His serv ice. The Christian church therefore speaks of the communion service as a sacrament, a word taken from the Latin sacramentum, meaning “oath,” and essentially an oath of allegiance. His body was broken for us, His blood was shed for the remission of our sins. We are bought with a price, we are not our own. There fore we are to glorify God with al] that we have and are.
