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.

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

of Chicago.

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.

TIPS ,o

TRIM FLOWER GARDEN
'"pHERE is much value in keep-
ing the flower garden trimmed.
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?”
