y T ' V 4 \ McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, S. C., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1941 Rayon Fabric Patterns Show New Emphasis on Originality By CHERIE NICHOLAS a LONGER are fine fabrics the exclusive property of the few people who can disregard cost. There’s luxury for everybody these days, because of the advancement of rayon as a textile fiber during the last few years. Rayon has made pos sible the reproduction of all the mag- nificence of traditional quality cloths at prices well within the reach of modest budgets. To the evening wear field, where luxury has always been the keynote, are contributed gorgeous fabrics worked with all the lavishness and richness the feminine heart could ask. Exquisite, for evening, is crisp rayon taffeta in enchanting colors and new effects. Such novel taffeta finishes as gleaming satin stripes, metal stripes and striking plaid ef fects with metal stripes and unusual color designs are seen in stunning bouffant gowns like the model pic tured in the foreground of our illus tration. Beautifully adapted to the fluid molded lines of the current eve ning season, sleek rayon jersey brings its lovely draping quality to sophisticated dinner and evening in spirations. Jewel-toned rayon jersey falls in sleeky gleaming folds for the skirt and wide bishop sleeves of the glamorous dinner gown cen tered in this group. The yogue for street-length infor mal dinner gowns has inspired the long-torso style which combines a rich black rayon crepe skirt with a smartly contrasting shaded rayon and metal striped bodice, as shown to the right. The long sleeves and low V-neck of the bodice are excel lent fashion points, as is the grace ful all-round pleated skirt. Indispensable in the dinner and evening wardrobe are the rayon crepe frocks. Lovely versatile types, such as matelasse pattern- ings, tree-bark effects and mossy finishes give pleasing variety. The exquisite grace of line expressed in the slender tiered frock to the left in the group interprets the beautiful draping qualities of fnossy rayon crepe. In this instance the crepe is in a dusty rose, with the refined brilliance of cut steel at the draped neckline. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Large Patch Pockets Extend the ‘New Look 9 Dresses and suits are very pocket conscious this fall. Four seems to be the magic number for pockets and sometimes six—four on the long-torso jacket, distributed in two breast pockets and two hip pockets, with the skirt sporting two pockets on its own account. Ingenious pocket arrangements are also expressed in connection with peplum flares. There are sep arate stole scarf affairs made to wear with practical daytime dresses that are finished off at each end with huge pockets. They have zip fasten ings, all very practical and usable. Tip to Toe—You’ll Be Wearing One Color The latest turn of fashion is to carry out the costume ensemble in one color from head to foot. Very handsome indeed is an outfit that created quite a sensation in the grandstand parade at one of , the important games this fall. This stunning ensemble, done in the new gold tone so smartly in fashion, in cluded a fleece boxy topper, a per-, fectly matched handknit two-piece dress and a turban. Costumes all In the widely heralded “black plum” are also outstanding in the autumn- winter collections. Brown and to paz colors are also very effective developed in single tones throughout. Bangle Bracelets Young girls are going in for a new hobby. It is the collection of bangles for their bracelets which are for the most part in silver. You can buy cunning little trinkets galore at the jewelry counters, and a most thriving business is going on in their sale. However, it makes it far more Interesting to add the personal touch of dropping a hint to doting rela tives and friends that you would rather have a bangle to add to your collection than any pther gift they could make to you. Ostrich Trim The much-beloved little pillbox hat is taking on new glory this sea son. Picturesque ostrich goes trail ing down one side over the hair in a glamorous “portrait of a lady” manner. The huge profile berets are also dramatically ostrich- adorned. Be Lovelier Pimw spill 1 “Only the brave deserve the fair” —and “only the fair deserve the brave.” In these times when men are so occupied with defense, wom en and girls can maintain national morale only if they look their best. Just as soldiers, sailors and marines are required to keep their uniforms neat, to shave every day, to keep their nails in order, and to have good haircuts, so should women be especially careful of their clothes, their complexions, their hands and hair. The selection of stylish, be coming dresses and the use of cold cream, powder, lipstick and nail pol ish and attention to the hair are more important than ever before. Here is a lovely New York creation that carries out the trend of “dressi er dresses” and feminine elegance with its smooth, slenderizing pock ets and antique filigree gilt buttons IMPROVED 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.) Lesson for November 16 Lesson subjects and Soripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. UNION WITH CHRIST LESSON TEXT—John 15:1-10. GOLDEN TEXT—Abide in me. and 1 in you.—John 15:4. Our lesson presents deep spiritual truths concerning our union with Christ — mystical, but practical; precious, but too often forgotten or neglected. I. The Conditions of Union With Christ. There is a sense in which union with Christ is entirely uncondition al, one is either united with Him by faith or he is not. However, there are conditions for the fulfillment of all that such union carries with it. It is in that sense we use the word. 1. Cleansing (vv. 1-3). Christ is the Vine, and the believer as a true branch is united with Him. There is a oneness here which is difficult to express but delightful to receive and believe. He who is the Vine needs no cleansing, but the branch needs constant, daily purification by “the Word” (v. 3). Are we per mitting God’s Word to keep us clean? Only if we are reading it, studying it, meditating upon it. There is moreover a severer type of purging to which the husband man subjects the vine that it may bear more richly, and that is prun ing (v. 2). It may not be pleasant, my brother, but it is profitable, and remember whose loving and sure hand it is that wields the pruning knife (v. 1). Some branches must be cut away altogether (v. 1) and burned (v. 6). They lack the evidence of life— fruitbearing — and must be de stroyed. These words are evidently not written to dishearten true be lievers, but they are a solemn warn ing to those who bear a false pro fession of Christianity. 2. Abiding (vv. 4-8). The branch bears the fruit of the vine. It has no strength or ability of its own to bring forth fruit. The Christian cannot serve Christ without abiding, and if he does abide the life of Christ will show forth in His living and serving. There can be Ao union without abiding in Christ. 3. Obedience (w. 9, 10). The hall-mark of character in a child is obedience. That is also true in God’s household. There is no use in talking sweetly and piously about abiding in God’s love unless we obey His commandments. The Christian who disobeys the teach ings of God’s Word regarding holy living and does not respond to the leading of the Holy Spirit shuts off the blessing of God in his own life and stops its flow out to others. II. The Results of Union With Christ. 1. Purity of Life (v. 3). “Now ye are clean”—how refreshing our Lord’s words sound to us as we live in a wicked and filthy world. We sometimes wonder if there are any pure lives anymore. Yes, there are—those whom the Lord has cleansed by His Word. Would you like to be clean? Turn to Him and to His Word. 2. Prevailing Prayer (v. 7). At first one wonders why our Lord put in that word about prayer, but it is evident that one of the fruits of union and fellowship with Christ must be intelligent prayer accord ing to God’s will, in the power of the Spirit, and certain of an answer. Notice that the prayer promise here is absolutely unlimited, but that it follows an “if” which states a closely limited condition. Let us fulfill the condition and claim the promise. 3. Fruitbearing (vv. 2, 4, 5, 8). The fruit a Christian bears is the fruit of Christ who is the Vine, but as the branch he does have the joy of bearing “fruit” (v. 2), “more fruit” (v. 2), and “much fruit” (vv. 5, 8). The Christian’s phraseology can be borrowed, the Christian’s service imitated, but his fruit pro duced only by abiding in Christ. 4. Abiding in Love (v. 10). We have been talking about abiding all through our lesson and it may seem strange to list it as one of the results of union with Christ, yet it belongs here. Our Lord said (v. 10) that the cleansed and obedient disciple should abide in His love, even as He obeys the Father and abides in His love. What a picture that is. Christ, the One who knew no stain of’ sin (II Cor. 5:21), always perfectly obedient to the Father (Heb. 10:7), who knows complete and perfect fellowship with the Father, reaches out His loving arms and draws the believer into the circle of that blessed union and love. ‘Only Thee’ No one can ever become quite solitary, quite poor, quite miserable, who can truly say “Lord, if only I have Thee.” That is just the time when God makes his consolation most gratifying and abundant, when we through distress of body and soul have turned from all temporal things to Him, and have learned that royal, overshadowing “only thee.”— Theodore Christliab. Come-Back “Hullo! I hear you’ve got mar ried?” “Yes, I got tired of restaurant food.” “And now?” “I’m beginning to like it again.” That’s It Ed—They tell me at your office that you are only one of two clerks. And yet you told me you were a director. Clara—IFell r I am. Fm director of envelopes. SEWING CIRCLE —And Failed? “I say, Jones, if I were you, I wouldn’t let your wife go round saying she’s made a man of you. You don’t hear my wife saying that.” “No,” Jones agreed, “but I’ve heard your wife telling my wife that she’d done her best.” A broad-minded man is one who is always open to conviction but who would like to meet the man who could convince him. That Kind “Yes, I’ll come with you if you’ll wait while I change these traffic-cop shoes of mine.” “Traffic-cop shoes? Why do you call them that?” “Because everything’s all right while I keep going, but if I park anywhere too long thejf pinch me.” When the shopping list is long, and the purse none too full, ciga rettes and smoking tobacco come to the front as ideal gifts for the holiday season. The welcome they get from any smoker is all out of proportion to their modest cost. That’s why Camel—America’s fa vorite cigarette, and Prince Al- Dert Smoking Tobacco—the Na tional Joy Smoke—rank as leading g ifts on the Christmas shopping sts. Dealers are featuring the Camel carton—ten packs of “20’s” —and a novel Camel package of four “flat fifties,” also Prince Al bert in the pound tin and the •ound glass humidor—all special- “ gift packaged.—Adv. % IH73-B FALL sewing will be taken up 4 :with renewed interest when this pattern comes into your house!
