/ McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, S. C- THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 1941 Up-to-the-Minute Easter Costume Calls for Gay, Tiny Flower Hat By CHERIE NICHOLAS \/f YRIADS of provocative little flower hats will “top” spring suits and ensembles this season. Why not climax your Easter cos tume with a gay flower chapeau? You’ll not only be “right in fash ion,” but you will be joyously “in tune” with spring. This is a season which calls for “prettiness.” No matter how simple the frock, the suit or the ensemble, you should give it lovely-lady airs by enchanting accessory details— flowers, perfumes, veils, decorative handkerchiefs, frothy fragile neck wear, an intriguing handbag or col orful gloves. Flower hats this spring are as bewildering in type, color and de sign as a garden of flowers. Some of the floral headpieces seem not much more than a cluster of posies anchored to the head by a labyrinth of ribbons and bandeau/ devices. ' They finish off with a cloud of misty, colorful veiling arranged smartly. While flowers of every variety are in fashion, there is particular em phasis on roses. You will see roses on hats, on bodices, on handbags, on sheer party dresses, and even under the wide brim of felt hats. The la Her may match the rose worn at the wrist as a bracelet. Even handkerchiefs are apt to yiela to the sway of flowers this season, in that they have posies embroidered or painted on them to match those on one’s “Easter bonnet.” Above to the right in the picture is a lovely black satin hat, trimmed with two waxen white roses. A veil of black fishnet subscribes to the slogan “with every hat a veil this spring.” Centered in the picture, a young lady of high fashion wears one of the tiny pompadour hats so smart this season. Note the glorified rose splashed on her handkerchief. These handkerchiefs come in a series of flowers, so you are sure of getting a “hankie” to match your flower hat. You Will be wanting a red hat this season to keep pace with fash* ion, or at least one trimmed with bright red flowers. The little hat shown in the upper left comer is gaily flowered with bright red pop pies. Wear it to set off a navy blue costume. Add a smart red un- der-arm bag. Pastels are popular for headgear. A beguiling soft rose colored felt beret is shown below to the left in the group. The shoulder length veil emphasizes romance and coquetry. A swatch of pastel silk on a tall black felt turban is pictured below to the right. A hat of this type calls for a shimmering lavender veil. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Smart Gob Dress A smart gob dress, perfect for the junior high or high school girl, is here shown. It adheres to a tradi tional pattern of simplicity in accord ance with the present fashion trerid toward classics. That this dress re flects the patriotic note so charac teristic of current fashions is readily seen in its every detail—the dress is of red, white and blue rayon cot ton, wiui on all-pleated navy blue skirt and long-torso lines for the blouse. The white nautical blouse is trimmed with red braid and red anchors. It’s a two-piecer and makes the best of all school dresses. With it you’ll no doubt want to wear a saucy sailor hat, and perhaps shoes with turned-back middy designs. It is an easy dress to make. Silk, Rayon Printed Suits Taking Fashion by Storm New and exciting in the spring style parade are suits that are tai lored of silk or rayon-mixture prints with exactly the fine nicety and sim plicity one expects of wool suits. The long-jacket suit with an all round pleated skirt is a favorite. The jacket has revers and a one- button or two-button fastening. You will find in the stores stun ning redingote styles as well, tai lored like cloth, fitted meticulously as your long topcoat, the dress un derneath styled in a fetching one- piece manner. These new print tail- leurs are starting a vogue that is taking the fashion world by storm. Tiers, Ruffles, Peplums Add to New Silhouettes The newest silhouettes call for tiers, ruffles and peplums. And the real news about these styling de tails is that designers are handling them so adroitly that they in no way destroy the straight slim lines that fashion demands this season. Very good looking are the new dressmaker coats, cut on princess lines to above the knee, at which point a wide pleated flounce car ries on to the hemline. Prints and Plain A new and very helpful aid in se lecting prints and plains to “go to gether” is the manner in which ma terials are being displayed this sea son in the stores. It is the custom this season to show a print and the plain material all side by side in colors that correlate perfectly. Flower Bracelets The newest fashion wrinkle is to wear a flower or boutonniere at tached to a ribbon bracelet, the cuff of your glove, or the edge of the sleeve at the wrist. Of course the flower should match the flower trim ming on your hat. Designers Defy Raids In London, dressmakers keep on dishing out their normal supply of work, in spite of air raids. Clothes are made on a sort of ambulating schedule, workers shifting from the basement shelters to the upstairs workrooms and back aeain Ua d 11 • ■ ■ ((^PROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, D. D. Dean of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) S. S. Lesson for April 13 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. CHRIST SHOWS HIMSELF ALIVE LESSON TEXT—Luke 24:13-17, 25-35. GOLDEN TEXT—I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore.—Revelation 1:18. Certainty and assurance — these are at the heart of our observance of Easter. We declare with Paul, “Now is Christ risen from the dead” (I Cor. 15:20), and that He is “de clared to be the Son of God with power ... by the resurrection from the dead” (Rom. 1:4). We would join the apostles who* “with great power gave . . . witness of the res urrection of the Lord Jesus” (Acts 4:33). Someone may say, “That’s well enough for you who have faith in God, but I’m bewildered, uncertain, fearful, in a disordered world. What shall I do?” Come with us as, in our lesson, we join two men who had become bewildered, who felt that all their hopes had been crushed, that the future was only to be feared. We join them as they walk wearily along the road from Jerusalem to Emmaus. Suddenly there is Another with the little group. Let us listen to their conversation. First we find I. Holden Eyes and Slow Hearts (vv. 13-i7, 25, 26). The two sad men who had left Jerusalem to go to Emmaus were disciples of our Lord who had just been through the crushing experi ence of seeing Him crucified. Now, as the jeering mob held triumphant sway in the city, they left the dead Christ (as they supposed) in the tomb and went their way. True, there had been some reports on the morning of the third day that the women had seen Jesus alive (w. 23, 24), but their hope and faith was at such low ebb that they could not —or did not—believe. Even when Jesus appeared to walk with them and question them, they did not know Him. Eyes closed by unbelief; faith hin dered by doubt and fear; a despond ent heart slow to believe God—how very effectively these shut out the blessing of God and of His Word, even to the believer. Even deeper is the darkness in which the un believer finds himself. But all is not lost; there is One here who can open unseeing eyes and warm cold hearts —even Jesus. II. Burning Hearts and Opened Eyes (vv. 26-32). Although they did not realize it (how slow we are to appreciate our blessings!) until after He was gone (v. 32), their hearts began to bum within them as soon as He began to expound the Scriptures to them. What a Bible exposition that was, as Christ Himself opened all that the Scriptures taught concerning Him! Bible teachers have talked about, and it makes one’s heart burn just to read their suggestions (see for ex ample Morgan on Luke, page 278). Little wonder that these men were “strangely warmed” as they lis tened. The way to have a burning heart is to read God’s Word or to have it expounded by a Spirit-filled teacher or preacher. Especially is there blessing in reading and studying yrhat the sacred Book teaches about our blessed Lord. With the heart “strangely warmed,” as John Wesley described his Aldersgate experience, comes the opened eye. “They knew him” (v. 31) in the breaking of the bread. Perhaps they saw the scar in His hand, or possibly they identified a familiar gesture or something in His voice; but until their hearts were warmed they did not see. Paul knew that truth when he declared: “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (I Cor. 2:14). Some reader who has trouble be lieving in the resurrection will find the problem solved when he meets Christ and has his heart changed in regeneration. What follows? III. Quickened Feet and Glad Tes timony (vv. 33-35). The seven miles (sixty furlongs, v. 13) which had passed so slowly were now quickly retraced. They had glorious good news to bring to the disciples at Jerusalem. How swift are the feet of the one who has good tidings to bear (see Rom. 10:15). One wonders why so many professed Christians are so slow about carrying His message. Can it be that they do not yet know the risen Christ? For if we know Him, surely “we do not well” to keep silent in a day of good tidings (II Kings 7:9). Note in verse 34 that before they could speak, the others gave them the good news of the resurrection. It is proper and delightful that be lievers share spiritual blessings (Rom. 1:11, 12). That’s why we come together in God’s house. Brother in the Lord, Christian sis ter, how long is it since you had a new and stirring experience of the presence of Christ? Not necessarily spectacular or exciting, but a real spiritual experience. Let’s ask Him for it! A DRESS that’s complete in it- self and smart for general Wear. A jacket that transforms it into a street ensemble. And both carefully styled, accurately sized, to fit large sizes perfectly. All that, surely, is a good deal to get in one easy and inexpensive home pattern. Yet that’s just what you get when you send for this one— No. 8886. That high-cut front panel has a magically diminishing effect upon your waistline and hips. ' Beltless, to accentuate height, the dress is gathered for correct fit over the bust. Broad shoulders give a slim look, too. The jacket, made with pleats drawn in by a tie-belt at the waist line, opens in the front to show the crisp frill and buttons that trim the frock, with a charmingly soft, somewhat formal effect. * * * Pattern No. 8886 is designed for sizes 36. 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52. Size 38 requires 7% yards of 39-inch material and I’/s yards of ruffling to trim the dress. Send order to: SEWING CIRCLE PATTERN DEPT. Room 1324 211 W.

Wise gardeners pick bouquets of favorite annuals like Marigold, Zinnia, Petunia, Sweet Peas and Snapdragon with systematic regu larity, for the picking promotes continued blooming. Periodic trimming is not best for such small, low-growing edging flowers as Alyssum. A complete cutting, however, will benefit this type of plant. This treatment may be applied to Ageratum, Linaria, Lobelia, and Nemesia as well -as Alyssum. Pinks, Cynoglossum, and Dwarf Bedding Rust Resistant Snap dragon are grown both for cutting and for garden beauty, but they too will profit by a thoroughgoing “haircut” such as that prescribed for the smaller, edging favorites. It is advisable to pick the flow ers of certain popular perennials when they are in their prime, to prevent their running to seed, and to promote the production of a sec ond crop of blossoms in a single season. Delphinium, Sweet Wil liam, Coreopsis, Perennial Di- anthus, and Pyrethrum should be handled in this manner.

Prophetic Author Copenhagen’s first bombproof shelter, built a short time ago, is on the site where Ludvig Holberg, the celebrated Scandinavian au thor, wrote his Epistolae in 1727. In it, says Collier’s, Holbert pre dicted that if men should ever learn to fly they would swoop down upon and attempt to destroy great numbers of innocent people who, to save themselves, would have to take refuge in holes in the ground. At Least Stern Parent / Had Son's Rapt Attention Father had decided that he must administer a strict lecture to his six-year-old son. The boy had been naughty, but did not seem to ap preciate the fact, and it was with some reluctance that the parent undertook a scolding. He spoke judiciously but severe ly; he recounted the lad’s mis deeds, and explained the whys and wherefores of his solemn rebuke.; His wife sat by, duly impressed. Finally, when the father paused for breath, and, incidentally to hear the culprit’s acknowledgment of error, the lad, his face beam ing with admiration, turned to his mother and said: “Mother isn’t fa ther interesting?” MINOR SKIN IRRITATIONS MOROLINEvjp ■▼■white petroleum jelly V.KJ Difference in Energy The real difference between metf is energy.
