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.

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.

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

more important than ever before.

of Chicago.

Lesson for November 16

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.
