Jewels and Beads Glitter on
Dresses for Every Occasion

S UNDAY I
chool Lesson
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
FLATTERING is the wbrd for the
p charming dresses that are given
a new loveliness with artful touches
of gay embroidery and go glittering
through the style parade with a
wealth of nailheads, sequins, jew
els and beadwork. Indeed, this is
a season when it is every woman’s
duty to look her prettiest in gowns
designed to “do something for you.”
Now that sparkle for daytime
frocks as well as evening gowns
is the vogue the new fasluons are
playing up glitter for all it is worth.
Every woman should yield to the
call of black with a dash of color and
the gleam of beadwork and jewels.
A dress or suit of this description
will prove your standby for almost
every occasion. Pictured are several
eye-appealing fashions selected from
a collection of daytime modes de
signed and displayed by the style
creators of Chicago at a recent
winter preview.
The good looking black crepe tunic
dress shown to the right emphasizes
its molded .shoulders and hipline
by means of steel nailheads. Shown
with it is a high and handsome hat
of colorful feathers. You will make
a well-dressed appearance in this
dress wherever you go.
To the left a dressier type spar
kles with rhinestones. The slim fitted
jacket has rhinestone pockets and
is worn over a dress with a sheer
yoke outlined in rhinestones.
Speaking of sheer yokes, they are
a new styling detail that is being
worked in fascinating and versatile
ways. The latest dresses have
yokes of the sheerest black lace,
and for extreme flattery designers
are styling wools and crepes in
Mack or browns or the new deep
“black cherry” tones with pastel
chiffon yokes, some of which are
beaded in matching colors, while
others are joined to the dress top
and the seaming is concealed under
sequin bands and bordering.
The figure seated in the center
wears a dress of velvet trimmed
with revers. There is a double
peplum on the pert jacket. The
dress is finished off at the neckline
with a deep rhinestone necklace and
a glittering rhinestone buckle fastens
the jacket. Curly feathers cut out of
black felt make the pompadour hat,
which is graced with a floating veil.
The dainty young lady in the back
ground to the right is wearing a
delectable gown which follows the
new trend toward colorful beadwork
on black. You can get this model
with light blue or dusty pink ac
cents. Here is an apt illustration
of the new trimming effect achieved
with a bordering of embroidery out
lining the seams of the sleeves,
which have the new wide armholes.
The midriff belt in matched bead-
work balances the color inserts.
Very smart dresses are shown
with all-round pleated skirts, the
bodice top being of the long-torso,
fitted type with an all-over sprinkling
of beads or sequins or tiny gold
nailheads. The spray of flowers
worked in metal threads and beads
is placed so as to take the place
of the usual bodice clip or orna
ment. Black jet beaded sweaters
of the middy type are also in smart
fashion.

Here is a perfect gown to wear
under your winter coat. It gives
you color. It gives you chic. And
this slick town dress designed by
Joseph Whitehead is in the best
American tradition of perfect work
manship. It is of ravishingly col
ored striped wool with velveteen
touches at neck and waist. The
“pinch” beret has bright coq
feathers.
Like a Cape
An English idea borrowed for our
Sport coats: Ribbon bands to slip
your arms through when you just
toss the coat over your shoulders,
like a oape.
Wear a Scarf or Shawl
Over Your Formal Gown
As an avenue for expression in
romance and feminine allure, there
is no accessory that surpasses the
witchery of a picturesque scarf or
dainty shawl. That is, perhaps, the
reason for the preference this sea
son for flattering scarf or lacy shawl
instead of a bolero or jacket to
wear with evening clothes. This
new acceptance of evening shoulder
covering is further noted in the cape-
let shawls of self fabric, or long
tulle scarfs matched to the dress.
The vogue also accounts for the ap
pearance of ostrich neck ruffs in
the formal evening picture.
'Down in Back 9 Hems
Herald New Silhouette
In the very newest sophisticated
dresses something happens to hem
lines that give skirts an entirely
new aspect. That “something” is
that hemlines are made to plunge
down in the back achieving a most
graceful, pleasing new silhouette.
For the most part the new “lines’*
are seen in slim black dresses for
smart afternoon wear, and in nar
row, seductive evening skirts. In
the formal skirts the narrowness is
relieved by a slit at the side that
reveals your beautiful evening slip
pers.
Handkerchiefs
Fur fashions lead the way in
novelty handkerchiefs with 22-inch
chiffon squares bordered with gen
uine ermine. “Naughty Nineties’*
handkerchiefs are reminiscent of the
era when every taffeta dress was
the background for a big, bold cab
bage rose. Brilliant colors and.
effusive floral patternings are fea>
tured in this group.

CHRISTIAN LOVE
LESSON TEXT—John 13:34, 35; I Corin
thians 13:1-13.
GOLDEN TEXT—We love him, because he
first loved us.—I John 4:19.
Many important things enlist the
interest of the Christian, but we
need to beware lest we neglect what
Jesus declared to be the first and
great commandment—that we love
God; and its necessary sequel—
that we love our neighbor. If love
is forgotten (and who can deny that
it often is in our day?), the very
foundations are shaken. We need
a revival of Christian love.
I. Love—A Mark of Discipleship
(John 13:34, 35).
Do you want to know whether a
man is a Christian? Find out
whether he loves his brethren. Such
is the test Jesus gives in these
verses.
1. Commanded. It is the will
and purpose of God that the follow
ers of Christ should have a real love
for one another. It is not to be a
matter of impulse or chance, but
the love God has for us should con
strain us to love one another. Thus
is love
2. Exemplified. God has loved
us. He does love us. How infinitely
much is wrapped up in these simple
words! He even gave His Son to
die for us because He loved us
(John 3:16). How then can we with
hold our love from Him and from
one another?
II. Love—A Christian Grace (I
Cor. 13).
In a world where hatred prevails,
and is in fact glorified, this chapter
needs to be read and reread. We
find that love is
1. Essential (w. 1-3). Life has
many excellent gifts and men quite
properly seek after them. How do
they compare with love, and what
do they amount to apart from love?
Glowing, angelic eloquence; the far-
seeing eye of the prophet; the at
tainments of knowledge and cul
ture ; mountain-moving faith; lib
eral-hearted charity; martyr-like
self-sacrifice—without love they are
all as nothing. Apart from Christ
and His love operating in our
hearts and lives the worthiest at
tainments of men are vain and
empty. Love is the very essence of
a satisfying and useful life.
2. Effective (w. 4-7). Does love
really work, or is this just a fine-
sounding but obsolete theory? It
works.
Think of the things in life which
irritate and depress us; then put
opposite them the qualities of Chris
tian love as given in verses 4 to 7,
and you will agree that what this
world needs most of all is love.
Remember that talking about love
or reading about it or studying it
in the Sunday school will not make
it effective. We must put it into
practice. Why not start now? You
will be surprised at the results.
3. Eternal (vv. 8, 12). Many
gifts are only temporary in their
usefulness; in fact, almost every
thing that man makes or .does
(apart from his service for God) is
transient. Even so vital a matter
as prophecy shall one day find its
end in fulfillment. Hope shall
eventually find its longing expecta
tion satisfied. Faith will be justified
in seeing what it has believed.
Childish things will be put away by
the full-grown man, knowledge will
increase and darkness disappear.
But love—love is eternal. It never
fails, and will never fail. God is
love and God is eternal. From all
eternity and unto all eternity love
continues. Therefore, we agree
with Paul who in the verse preced
ing this chapter (I Cor. 12:31) says
that while you may covet the best
gifts, here is the more excellent way
—love.
Let us be clear about this. Love
is not a substitute for regeneration,
and certainly regeneration is no ex
cuse for lack of love. Read John 13:
34, 35 again and remember that if
we are Christ’s disciples we will
count it a high privilege to keep
this first and great commandment
of love.
Dependence on God
Poverty in any shape helps to stir
in man a sense of need, a disposition
to consider himself as dependent. . .
The real puzzle of life consists not
in the fact of widespread poverty but
in that of widespread affluence;
in the fact that so many are suf
ficiently endowed with “goods” as to
believe they can live by them, and so
cease to look for their true life to
God their Father.—E. Lyttleton.
Death Becomes Transparent
And so the empty tomb becomes
the symbol of a thoroughfare be
tween life in time and life in the un
shadowed presence of our God.
Death is now like a short tunnel
which is near my home; I can look
through it and see the other side!
[n the risen Lord death becomes
transparent. “O death, where is thy
sting? O grave, where is thy vic
tory?”—Dr. J. D. Jowett.
OIGHT now, your tweed or
^ camel’s hair suit for fall will
take a new lease on life bright
ened with this matching set of
weskit, cap and mittens. Later
you’ll sport these with your ski
suit or skating outfit, a gay trio
which you can make in brightly
colored wools, suede or felt. You
can have loads of fun making
these accessories, too, so much
that you’ll enjoy making them
again and again as gifts for your
admiring friends.

“I just heard him say he was
in close touch with the heads of
several big organizations!”
“Yes, he’s a barber!”
Funny that when a girl’s dress
consists of nothing to speak of, it
usually gives the neighbors plenty
to speak about.

First Actor—I played Hamlet

Second Actor—Did you have a

First Actor—Seven miles.
His Right
When a crowd of people gathered to
watch a fire, a policeman kept moving
them on. One man refused to go.
"Why should I move along?" he de
manded indignantly. “You're letting
that fellow over there stay."
The policeman smiled.
“Well, he's entitled to," he replied.
“It's his fire.”
His Trouble
Modern Orator—My friends, I
am full of uncertainty.
Then a number of people in the
audience looked at one another
and hoarsely whispered: “He
must have had hash for dinner.”
LaGuardia, Penniless
Came to the Right Place
A few years back, Fiorello
LaGuardia, New York’s peppery
mayor, was addressing a group of
Salvation Army workers before
a large audience. The mayor gave
a long and fiery speech in praise
of the organization. At the finish,
the plate was passed. When it
came to LaGuardia, he reached
into his pocket for money. A
blank look came into his face
when he could not find any. He
fumbled desperately in all pockets.
Sensing his predicament, the
commissioner of the Army said in
a loud voice: “That’s all right,
the Salvation Army is the right
place to come to when a man
hasn’t a nickel!”
America’s favorite cigarette gift
package is now making its appear
ance in the windows and on the
counters of local dealers. It is the
famous carton of Camel Ciga
rettes, all dressed up in gay, color
ful, Christmas wrapper—complete
and ready to give even to the gift
card printed on the wrapper. Cam
els also are featured in an at
tractive gift of four “flat fifties”—
200 cigarettes — packaged in a
snow-covered Christmas house. An
ideal gift for all smokers—includ
ing the men in the service with
whom Camels are the outstanding
favorite.—Adv.

ed from the first day of the year,
rather than the day of birth. Thus
two Japanese children, although
born 364 days apart, are legally
the same age.
What to give the men in Uncle
Sam’s services for Christmas is
already solved for you by surveys
made m the Army, Navy, Marine
Corps, and Coast Guard.. Ciga
rettes and smoking tobacco head
the list of gifts the men want
most. This naturally places Camel
Cigarettes and Prince Albert
Smoking Tobacco in the forefront,
since actual sales records from
the service men’s stores, afloat
and ashore, show the favorite cig
arette is Camel, and the big fa
vorite among smoking tobaccos is
Prince Albert, the National Joy
Smoke. Dealers are already fea
turing “Send him a carton of Cam
els” or a “Pound tin of Prince Al
bert” for Christmas.—Adv.
