THE SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C, FEBRUARY 5, 1943 ' Slacks and Pajamas Lead the Way to a New Field of Design By CHERIE NICHOLAS CO FAR we have been accepting ^ pajama costumes as an interest ing fashion diversion. Skeptics there were in the early days when pajama and trousered fashions were regard ed as novel and of passing fancy. However, the practicality of the trousered costume became more and more apparent, until in this time of wartime activities what at one time seemed but a fleeting, transient fash ion gesture has grown into a perma nent phase that challenges designers to accept the movement as one that demands of them a technique that leads into a new field of design. Today there is a unanimous de mand for women’s slacks and pa jamas for every day wear, as well as for leisure moments. Designers are rushing to produce a larger and more varied collection of attractive styles than ever before. An exciting ly wide range of attractive fabrics in rayon constructions, in velvets and crepes have been drawn upon. Meas uring up to the beauty of fabric is the magnificent way in which design ers are rising to the situation of cre ating smart and diversified fashions along the new avenue of thought. The models pictured speak for themselves in that they demonstrate the really triumphant grasp of things that has taken place among style creators who are, with their design ing ability, giving to the new trou sered vogue a stable and permanent place in the mode for all time. The call for at-home costumes that will defy the menace of low tem perature is met in the costumes shown in the above illustration. It is interesting to note the versatility they express and the one note that rings through the group is the charm ing femininity that has been stressed in the modish jacket and tunic tops. Pilot blue rayon fabric with an at tractively textured surface is used for the youthful pajama suit above to the left. Interesting style details are seen in the peplum effect and especially in the scallop treatment. The tunic-top pajamas pictured to the right are designed for the tall fig ure. The tri-color scheme achieved in pajamas of royal blue sheer rayon crepe are punctuated with bright flashes of fuchsia and green inserted as pleats. There is the suggestion of a Russian cossack tunic here that is most picturesque. The belt and buckle are of the blue fabric. A charming antidote to chills is the striking hostess pajama ensem ble centered in the group. The long- sleeved jacket in sapphire blue rayon crepe combines with well-cut trou sers in sooty black. The black ac cent is repeated smartly at the jack et front where gold embroidered ap plique adds a sumptuous look. You may be tempted to appropriate this regal looking jacket as a fitting com plement to a formal floor-length crush-resistant velvet skirt should occasion demand. The inset below to the right shows black rayon faille trousers and a red wool jacket striped with black rayon braid. A stunning winter cocktail costume this! Shown in the inset to the left, velvet lounging pa jamas are worn with complete non chalance. The velvet is crush-resis tant. The costume is enlivened by the embroidered jacket elaborately decorated with red chenille flowers. Released by Western Newspaper Union. Velvet Highlight This season it is both patriotic and smart style to make one dress play a many-purpose role by changing its accessories. Pictured above is a simple black afternoon frock which has been high-spotted with detach able bows of black velvet. The magic of accessories is further stressed in a picturesque hat made of rose colored velvet, plus gloves of matching velvet. The fact that the hat and gloves are rose colored is style significant, for black cos tumes highlighted with pink rank ace high in importance this season. Handknit Frocks Many new and interesting details give to handknit frocks outstanding style this season. One of the smart fashion trends is the wee narrow yarn fringe that outlines edges of yokes, pockets, sleeves and necklines. The use of handmade yam ball trim ming is also noted, likewise little yarn tassels. Be Sure to Choose Earrings Carefully Important fashion news points to earrings. That earrings add general interest to the face there is no doubt, and chosen carefully from the color standpoint they certainly add bril liancy to the eyes. However, don’t think that any old earrings will do the trick. Choose your earrings with a very keen sense of proportions of your face and be sure to try them on with and without your hat. A pair of gold earrings in a fine floral pattern, or a leaf design, in loop effect scroll or a two-tone twist will always be smart and will go with both daytime and informal clothes. In selecting earrings the best thing to do is to match or ac cent your eyes. Watch your lipstick and finger nails that their color does not clash with jewels. Tiny, Veiled Hats Are Trimmed With Ostrich Very tiny hats are popular for dress occasion. Especially favored are the wee ones that are cunningly trimmed with ostrich tips in rose or light blue or fuchsia tones. With these you wear a crisp veil that stands out daintily like a halo about the head. These veils are stiff ened to flare out like a brim, and they keep in good form without wilt ing down in limp and unsightly fash ion. Lace Edging If in doubt as to how best to finish off the edges of the print frock you are making, or the pastel faille frock or taffeta plaid blouse, let narrow black lace be your answer. This pretty trim is to be seen everywhere. The black sheer dress with low-cut neckline is very charming with tha new frilly black lace accent. Give Cupid a Break . . . Bake Him a Cake (See Recipes Below) 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 February 7 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. JESUS AFFIRMS HIS DEITY LESSON TEXT—John 8:12. 25-36. 58.59. GOLDEN TEXT—He that hath geen me hath seen the Father.—John 14:9. “The Light of the World Is Jesus!” Who does not remember with what delight we as children sang, “Come to the light, ’tis shining for thee . . . The light of the world is Jesus.” How precious was the truth that thus flooded our souls. Jesus is the light. Just as the sunlight sheds its glory on an awakening world at dawn, so He sheds abroad the light of God in the hearts of men. As this portion of God’s Holy Word is studied and taught, may the light break forth on many a soul caught in the bewilderment of this dark world. But that is only one of tne great thoughts around which our lesson centers. As Jesus here reveals Himself as divine, we consider four simple words, each fraught with rich meaning. I. Light (v. 12). The text says: “Then spake Jesus.” When? Just after He had silenced the hypocritical accusers of a woman taken in sin, and had spoken the word of peace to her troubled soul. She was to “go and sin no more” because she had met Him who is the light of the world. They that follow Him “shall not walk in darkness”; they are the children of light, they have the very light of life shining in their hearts and lives. Not only does Jesus light the be liever’s heart, but this light shines into all the dark corners of this wicked world, exposing sin and hypocrisy, and showing the way back to God. II. Salvation (w. 25-30). “Who art thou?” That is the ques tion every man must ask and an swer as he considers Jesus. Even neglect is an answer—a rejection. The answer of Christ in these verses goes to the very heart of the matter, for He takes the people right to the cross of Calvary. When they had crucified Him, they would know. Did not the centurion say: “Truly this was the Son of God” (Matt. 27:54)? It is true today that no man knows Christ until he knows Him as the crucified Saviour. Teacher, Exam ple, Guide—all these He is—but they are not enough, for we sinners need a Saviour. May many today follow the example of verse 30. HI. Freedom (w. 31-36). • Free! Four letters, but what a depth of meaning! Chains have fall en off, prison doors are open. Tha one who was bound is free. But here we are concerned with an even more important liberty, the freedom of the soul. Many there are who boast of their independence but who are naught but slaves. Jesus said: “Whosoever commit- teth sin is the servant of sin” (v. 34), not its master. How shall they be freed? Note three things in these verses: (1) A condition, “If ye continue in my word.” This means not only a profession of faith, but a daily ap propriation and realization of His truth in life. (2) A promise, “Ye shall know the truth.” The philosophies of men profess to be a seeking after truth, but how few there are who look to the one place where it can be found —in Jesus Christ. (3) A result, “The truth shall make you free." Truth always sets free. Men are enslaved because, as in some foreign lands, they have not had the opportunity to learn the truth or because they have rejected It. Men profess to seek truth in their research and in the process of edu cation, but without Christ they can not have real truth. Educational systems which rule Him out are deficient and lead to bondage rather than freedom. IV. Eternity (w. 56-59). Taking up their statement that they were Abraham’s children (see vv. 33, 37), Jesus enters into the sharpest controversy with the un believing Jews of His entire earthly ministry. They were claiming kin ship with a great man of faith who in his day had looked forward to the coming of Christ (v. 56). Now He was here, and instead of receiv ing Him as their Messiah they were ready to kill Him. Not only did they claim Abraham as father, but also God. Jesus told them that in their sin and unbelief they were of their “father the deviL” It is possible, then, to be very religious, to follow the tradi tions of one’s fathers, and yet to be children of the devil. All this led up to their sharp re buke in verse 57, which denied to Christ anything but an earthly ex istence and which led Him to the statement of His eternity. He iden tified Himself definitely and clearly with the Eternal One—the great I AM of Exodus 3:14. Christ is God, and is therefore “infinite, eternal, and unchangeable in His being, wisdom, power, holi ness, justice, goodness and truth” (Westminster Catechism). Valentine Notes Along about this time, even though it isn’t spring, there’s a note of pre cious sentiment that gets into the atmosphere. Per haps it’s those bits of bright red and lacy paper the children have been pasting into heart shapes, the rhymes they’ve been making. Yes! Valentines! Cupid has a way of darting into this season and winning us over— even if only with a cardboard ar row springing out of a froth of red and white paper cutouts of hearts. Why not plan to give yourself up to a party with a Valentine theme? Let’s make it simple but festive for even simple gayety will do loads for your morale. Except for the cake in today’s column which is a wee bit party-ish, the rest of ingre dients in the party are streamlined to save your time. Our color scheme for the holiday runs into red-and-white, so our main dish is going to be a variation of .the old favorite chicken and cran berries. *Jellied Chicken and Cranberry Loaf. (Serves 6) 1 tablespoon gelatin 2 enps well seasoned chicken broth 6 small thin slices chicken 2 cups minced chicken Cranberry mixture Soften gelatin in a little broth, add remaining broth and heat un til gelatin is dis solved. Pour a lit tle into the bot tom of an oiled 1-quart loaf pan. Divide remaining gelatin between 1 cup dark and 1 cup light meat of chicken. Add alternating layers of chicken and cranberry, chilling each layer thoroughly until set before adding the next. Cranberry Mixture. (For Chicken Loaf) 1 pint cranberry juice m tablespoons gelatin M teaspoon salt Dash of cayenne Juice of Vt lemon 1 cup minced celery Soften gelatin in a little cranberry sauce; dissolve over hot water. Add remaining juice and seasonings. Cool and add celery. Since the main dish is a combina tion salad and main dish—if served with a lettuce or watercress gar nish and mayonnaise if you want it, balance the menu with some attrac tive assorted sandwiches. Sand wiches should be light snacks for this type of party, so we’ll fall back on the old standby, cream cheese. Cream Cheese Rolls. Mix 1 package of softened cream cheese with 1 thblespoon of mayon naise and a dash of Worcestershire sauce. Blend thoroughly. Take thinly Lynn Says: The Score Card: It looks very much as though you will cook what you can find with more foods announced as to become ra tioned. Canned and frozen foods along with meats will be less easily available. Fresh fruits and vegetables are to be unrationed so keep your budgetwise and marketwise eyes cocked for bargains. Turnips, carrots, beets, citrus fruits and apples will appeal to wise menu makers. Canned soups which you obtain and pay more for now are usu ally more concentrated and you can get more food value from them. You’ll like using dehydrat ed soups, too, the chicken-noodle combinations being winners. Plan to pack whole wheat flours ana dehydrated pancake mixes into your shopping bags. The for mer will help you get vitamin B in the diet, while the latter is a fine time-saver.
