■ THE SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C- JULY 10, 1942 Here Are Low-Cost Vacation Items for the Girl Who Sews By CHERIE NICHOLAS * I 'HOSE who give wholehearted and patriotic co-operation to the eco nomic emergency of our nation’s wartime program can be practical and saving this summer in the mat ter of “clothes” expenditure without sacrificing the joy that comes with the satisfaction of having a charm ing vacation wardrobe. They can do this just by making home-sewing a thrifty hobby. It’s more than ever important these days to in no wise under estimate the morale value of a be coming new frock, and you owe it to yourself and those who look to you for inspiration to appear at your best, especially when you want to make the cherished moments of a holiday memorable. So get out the family sewing machine and start right away on a pretty-clothes pro gram. Even if you have never stitched a seam in your life, don’t throw up your hands in despair. Your local sewing center can teach you modem sewing shortcuts and dressmaker tricks in a few after noons and evenings. You’ll find you can gather togeth er a collection of lovable, tubable cottons, rayon weaves, linens and such (washables are smartest to wear this summer) featured at amazingly low cost both in the regu lar piece goods section and on rem nant counters. One of the most ef fective ways of making a few care fully chosen costumes go a long way toward creating a flexible, mix- able all-purpose wardrobe is to plan related color schemes in companion fabrics so that you can wear the jacket of one outfit with the skirt of another, or team up at will match ing or contrasting slacks, shorts and blouses. You will find great help in the intriguing stripes, checks, plaids and “plains” brought out this season Cotton Is Choice Of Summer Brides According to the signs that tell this is going to be a summer of wartime weddings. Summer with its background of flowers and sunny days and starry nights provides a most inviting setting for picturesque organdies, exquisite batistes, quaint dotted swisses and other such deli cately woven cotton sheers as fash ion favors this season. Many a bride-to-be is finding it necessary to change her plans for a pretentious wedding to a program which calls for the utmost simplicity and economy, owing to wartime con ditions. One of the pleasing surprises this summer is the number of brides who are choosing for their wedding gowns pretty sheer cottons, among which organdy seems to be an out standing favorite. To lend the most enchantment to her picturesque or gandy wedding gown a recent bride wore a wide-brimmed halo of finely pleated organdy ruffles, and the ef fect was entrancing. ‘Dunk’ ’Em There is a new word being added to the fashion vocabulary. This new word, “dunkable,” is in keeping with the spirit of the times, for the trend is toward making everything washable from gloves to hats and to shoes. Washable, dunkable gloves answer the call of the hour, and you can get these in greater variety than ever before. Midriff Blouse Decidedly new is the “midriff” blouse. It’s a startling fashion, but young girls are taking to it with enthusiasm. Wear it with the matching printed chintz skirt whicn is sold as its companion piece. in complementary weaves and colors which are really lovely. Destined for fashion success and certain to prove a boon to the slim budget is the eye-catching three- piece playsuit shown to the right in the above illustration. By pick ing up remnants specially priced for quick selling you can get this outfit together at an almost unbelievably small cost. Gay print shirtwaist (a sportswear favorite this season), jumper-type shorts and a full-gath ered front-buttoned overskirt com plete this costume which will serve for varied occasions the whole sum mer through. Don’t let the button holes frighten you, for with the new buttonhole gadget modem sewing machines have, you can make them in double quick time, even if it is your first venture. If you coyet being a heroine in a fashion success story, make the red, white and blue slacks suit centered in the picture.. It consists of navy slacks, white middy, red jerkin and matching beanie cap. You’ll get a world of service out of this bright assortment of play togs, and mak ing it yourself will send your pride soaring to the ’nth degree. Notice the precision with which patriotic, colorful, shield-shaped buttons file down the side of the jerkin. By the way, a jerkin of this type is a valua ble asset to any vacation wardrobe —it’s the “missing link” which will convert any simple casual dress or skirt and blouse into a smart fashion unit. For after-dark wear you’ll be needing many a party frock if you are helping at army entertainment centers. All-American cotton is the wartime ideal for these summer dance-and-dine get-together affairs. You’ll be your most glamorous self if you make a budget-minded dress of gaily colorful print like that il lustrated to the left in the above group. Especially smart is the cor- seletted front bodice closing. Released by Western Newspaper Union. Flower Buttons Bring new intrigue to your best- beloved sweater this summer with a row of gaily colorful buttons wrought in dainty florals of original design. Realistic flowers bloom on the lovely sweater shown above. The flowery motifs are contrasted effectively against the background. The knitted stitch achieves a tex ture that is shaggy (smartest new sweaters are like that) and almost grasslike in appearance. Irresist ible and unusually colorful are these clever button originals in which tiny, artfully shaped flowers and leaves are affixed to a latticed disk of contrasting color. These three-color buttons will bring perki ness and style accent to the most somber costume. Try the flower- button way for your sweater. You’ll love it! IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D. Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.! Lesson for July 12 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts re jected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. ADAM AND EVE: TEMPTATION AND SIN LESSON TEXT—Genesis 3:1-13. 23. 24. GOLDEN TEXT—The soul that sinneth. It shaU die.—Ezekiel 18:4. The finished creation of Goa was “very good,” but before long it was marred by sin. Dr. Hart-Davies in his book on Genesis speaks of a brick from the walls of ancient Babylon, now in the British museum. It “bears the imprint of one of Babylon’s mighty kings. Right over the center of the royal seal is deep ly impressed the footprint of a ‘pari ah’ dog which apparently trod upon it when it was soft and plastic. Hu man nature is like that brick. Man originally was made in the image of God, but over the divine like ness there has been superimposed the dirty disfigurement of the devil’s imprint.” We see first in our lesson the appearance of the serpent who is the subtle emissary of— I. Satan (w. 1-5). Man, because he was made in God’s image, was not a mere autom aton, having no moral choice. He was a free being who had to choose between good and evil. Obedience to God is the underlying moral prin ciple of the universe. Man was giv en an opportunity to obey the prohibition of one tree in the Gar den of Eden. The principle of pro hibition in the midst of a world of privilege thus has divine sanction. Satan provided the occasion for man’s fall into sin. He came, not as the cloven-hoofed monstrosity of modern cartoonists, but as a crea ture more subtle than all other crea tion. His approach in our day is just as smooth and cultured (II Cor. 11:14). II. Sin (v. 6). Let us be clear that sin is not a necessity, not a natural weakness of man, not a falling upward in the progress of the race, but a delib erate choice to transgress the law of God. At once it showed its true nature by reaching out and lead ing another into transgression. The one who listens to a slander against God can easily begin to doubt His Word, and then it is not difficult to look at what God has forbidden. Then the desire of the flesh takes hold and disobedience follows (cf. I John 2:16). III. Shame (w. 7-13). The breaking of a right relation ship with God broke the perfection of man’s fellowship with man. Inno cence was swallowed up in a sense of shame. But the shame is far deeper than a sense of nakedness. It speaks of a heart marked with sin which makes man hide from God. Satan had promised Adam and Eve that they should know more about good and evil (v. 5), but all the good they learned about was what they had now lost, and the evil they learned was the sin which now blackened their souls and dark ened their lives. And with them fell the whole hu man race, for Paul tells us in Ro mans 5:12 that “by one man sin entered the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.” IV. Sorrow (w. 23, 24). Man and his help meet, who had begun with such glorious promise in the garden, now had the great sor row of being driven out by God. No longer to be trusted, man was kept out by the cherubim, mysteri ous angelic beings with the awful flaming sword. Labor, which in the garden had been but a pleasant diversion, be came a struggle against a thorn- infested ground. Sorrow was linked with motherhood, and man began to bear the heavy responsibilities of life (see Gen. 3:14-19). But we must not close our lesson without pointing out that in the midst of judgment God provided mercy. The promise of man’s re demption is written first in God’s Book in Genesis 3:15, and from there the scarlet thread of redemp tive truth runs right through the Bible to its last chapter. Even in judging the first Adam for his sin, God thus promised the coming of the second Adam who was to redeem the race. We be came members of the first Adam’s family by natural birth—without the privilege of choice. We become members of the family of the second Adam by a new birth—a spiritual, supernatural rebirth. But the lat ter is by our own choice! (I Cor. 15:21, 22, 45). Wayside Ministering Jesus was never bound down to the size of his audience. He was neither elated by a big crowd nor discour aged by an audience of one. In fact, some of his most wonderful teach ings were given to individuals whom he met by the wayside, the woman of Samaria, Zacchaeus, Mary and Martha, the Syrophoenician woman, Nicodemus, the woman taken in adultery, the blind man in the tem ple, are only a few of those to whom Jesus gave of his best as he passed them on the way. Cool, Ice-Tinkling Drinks Ward Off Summer Fatigue (See Recipes Below.) Sugar-Saving Drinks When the thermometer’s perched on the highest rung of the tempera ture ladder, do you feel- your spirits sagging, your energy run ning low? Yes, the warm weath er begins to take its toll just about the time you feel you need push and drive most. But, make a come back, quickly and easily with a healthful, fruit-juicy drink served in a tall, colorful frosty glass. An attractively served drink will perk up your spirits more quickly than you can say “Jack Spratt!” Plan to freeze some of those fra grant mint leaves and those few odd berries left over from the shortcake, with water in the ice cube trays for they make a pretty drink. Or, if you like colored ice cubes that prevent your summer beverage from taking on a watery taste, freeze fruit juices diluted with wa ter into ice cubes. You’ll like this. There’s a lot more to be said for cool drinks other than their general nice appearance. Besides providing your system with the vitamin C, in excellent quantity, and A and B in good quantity, the citrus fruits, or anges and lemons, act as alkalizers for the system. This acts as insur ance against fatigue, which is a big thing in warmer weather. Milk and ice cream are perfect ingredients with fruit juices for cool ing drinks. Not only do they contain most of the requisites for a well- balanced diet, but they are easy to take and lend themselves in pleas ant combination with other foods. Your biggest problem with sum mer drinks will come in trying to save sugar. But don’t let this stump you, for you can use fruit juices that have natural sugars, honey as a sweet ener, and milk and ice cream, which need very little or no other sweetening at all. Try fruit powders, too, using 1 level tablespoon of the fruit powder with 3 teaspoons of honey to 1 glass of water or milk. Fill the glass with shimmering ice chips and you have an excellent thirst quencher in a wink. Fruit juices used with ice cream and honey are kind to the sugar ra tion: *Orange Cooler. (Makes IVi quarts) 2 cups orange juice M cup lemon juice 14 cup maraschino cherry juice 1 cup ginger ale 2 tablespoons honey Lynn Says: The Score Card: Definite news has reached me on the spice situ ation, so now you homemakers can see exactly what is available in this line. There’s enough to go around freely of: cayenne, red pepper, mustard, chili powder, dill seeds, oregano, paprika, curry, cake spice, mixed pickling spice, cel ery seed, onion and garlic salt and powder, bay leaves, marjor am, cardamon, anise and black pepper. Careful use is indicated for these spices: cinnamon, mace, allspice, white pepper, cloves, nutmeg and ginger. ’ Canning rubbers, lids, jars, etc. are available in sufficient quanti- I ty for this season’s produce. An extra ration of sugar for canners will be allowed, amounting to five I pounds per person for the year. There’s a possibility that cof fee, tea, and cocoa may come in for rationing. Homemakers are also advised to save and conserve all fats, grease and oil. If you cannot use the fat at home, keep it well preserved in a cool place to prevent its becoming ran cid, then bring to your butcher.
