I THE SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C„ FEBRUARY 12, 1943 Prints Styled for Wear Now And Right on Through Summer By CHERIE NICHOLAS ENCHANTING fiUips for the mid- •*-' season wardrobe are the gay new print frocks designed in fine rayon fabrics to bloom with spring- flower freshness under winter coats and furs. Fetching styles bring, a breath of spring to the daytime pic ture for both tailored and dressy wear, with the season’s new slim lines flattered by soft styling and intriguing new trimming details. Because light tones are a welcome contrast to the deep shades we’ve been wearing all winter; and be cause it’s patriotic to buy clothes that will be appropriate for more than one season; and because a pos sible scarcity of dyes brings pas tels into prominence; many of the fine new rayon prints are done with pastel and white touches or light colored grounds that will be as fresh and right in midsummer as they are for immediate wear. The attractive dressmaker shirt waist frock centered in the above illustration is just such a type, de signed as it is to be worn now un der furs, later on under a smart spring coat and right throughout the summer with no coat at all. Little white birds are printed on the rose- colored soft rayon crepe of which this charming dress is made. For dressy wear there is renewed interest in prints with feathery fronds splashed across contrast backgrounds. The smart afternoon frock for immediate wear shown above right is made of a print of this description heightened in beauty with confetti accents scattered in snowy white on a deep navy ground. Radiating tucks in the slimly flared skirt and self-fabric spaghetti trim at the draped V-neck are chic details. In the initial spring showings many lace prints are shown, also vine and leaf patternings most art fully designed. For immediate wear under your coat soft rayon shantung in bright “victory” blue is printed with a white lacy doily pattern for the slim-line little suit frock shown to the left in the above picture. Its long basque-like jacket and grace ful skirt with front fullness are high- style accents. Snowy linen-type spun, rayon is flatteringly scalloped for the becoming turned-back collar and cuffs. Many fascinating things are being done with prints, such as styling them with tie fastenings and cun ning little bows, or draping them over to one side where they fasten with long tassels keyed to some col or in the print. Or they are apt to be trimmed with narrow self-print pleatings edged with lace in black, white or a pastel shade. The print with a sheer pastel top or yoke is also an intriguing theme. There is a profusion of dainty lace fluttering along sleeve, pocket and neckline edges, and very new is the lace edg ing that finishes off the hemlines of narrow skirts. The cathedral prints are so called because they’re the colors of stained glass windows, and swank patterned rayons copy alligator skin effects. Everybody adores the prints with sequin-studded print flowers that glisten against navy or black grounds. If you are clever, you can get enchanting effects by em broidering just one or two flower motifs yourself with sequins or glit tering beads. The result is really effective and gives just enough spar kle to keep your print dress in per fect taste. A gorgeous print with a distinc tively new look delineates cord-and- tassel motifs that gracefully and col orfully twirl about against dark backgrounds. As to flower themes, look for roses to be played up in dramatic effects. Released by Western Newspaper Union. Pastel Crepe Demand Increases For Work Clothes Because of the increasing de mand, some of the larger stores throughout the country are putting in a special work-clothes shop. There is a trend more and more for women who are working at plants to get into uniforms during their service hours. The interest in practical, utilitarian apparel is grounded to a great extent on increasing recogni tion by women of the necessity for clothes that won’t catch in the ma chinery. Then, too, women want slacks and coveralls for the free dom of action they allow. They like two piece work suits of medium blue heavy cotton with fitted jacket and side buttoned slacks. The one- piece coverall with short sleeves and cuffless slacks also finds favor. Den ims and sturdy cottons are victory gardening, backyard barbecue wear and to wear as rough and ready sportswear. Here is one of those charming little dresses fashioned of solid-color pastel crepe that tell the news of what’s what in smart frocks to wear now under your coat and later to come out in as you join the spring style parade. The newsy item about this eye-appealing frock is that it is trimmed with narrow color-matched fringe. You’ll love these fringe- trimmed pastels, they are so “just what you want” for immediate wear. To add to the exclusive effect of this good looking dress there is a deep hemstitching on the bodice, to gether with a smart use of gold plas tic buttons. Jeepers Creepers! Now It’s Moleskin Mittens! A touch of fur is giving smart dis tinction to many a midwinter cos tume. There are endless fur novel ties available. Perhaps the most popular are the new pocketbook muffs of Persian lamb and other flat furs. Moleskin mittens appear with moleskin ascot scarfs. If mink is your choice, choose a Russian - inspired mink cfcechia. Novel indeed is the idea of wealing a big pompon made of silver fox fur in the same manner as if it were a chrysanthemum pinned to the la pel of your seal coat. To complete the ensemble, carry a silver fox fur muff. These fur accents are strik ing worn with cloth suits on cool days. 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 14 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. JESUS HEALS A MAN BORN BLIND LESSON TEXT—John 9:18-38. GOT-DEN TEXT—“One thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see."—John 9:25. The love of Christ is seen in its full beauty against the background of man’s hatred and unbelief. Last week we saw Him coming away from tne stones with which his enemies sought to kill him. As He passed by He had the time and the compas sion to stop and help a man who had been born blind. His disciples, afflicted in some degree' with the speculative tendencies of their time, saw in this blighted life only an il lustration of a theological theory about sin. But Jesus, by a loving and gracious act, stirred in the heart of the man that faith which caused him to obey—to go, to wash, and to see (v. 7). The enemies of Christ were not willing to believe even what they now saw to be true. Their stubborn unbelief shut the door to blessing for them, but the blind man received three things by faith: I. Healing (vv. 18-23). The argument with the man’s par ents hinged on one point—he had been healed of his blindness. The parents were unwilling to risk ex communication by discussing the matter, but they did know that he had been blind and now could see. That was clear. An experience like that is impos sible to deny. The healing of the soul of man in regeneration is also a stubborn fact which deniers of God’s Word and God’s grace are unable to meet and overcome. The one who was blind and now could see had no questions about the deity of Christ and His saving power. What is more, he was not afraid to testify. He could “speak for him self” (v. 21). Note the difference between the three classes here: Blind and stub born unbelief (v. 18), faith too fear ful to speak (v. 22), and the assured faith of the one healed. That is our next point. II. Assurance (w. 24-34). The appeal of the Jews in verse 24 based on their statement: “We know that this man is a sinner,” reminds us that there is no knowl edge so absolute (and so absolutely wrong) as that of ignorance backed by self-conceit. They said they knew, but did not. The man had complete assurance by faith and by experience. He did not argue (v. 24), he simply restated his healing. “I was blind—now I see.” When they evaded that reply (for they dared not meet it), he thrust deep with the convicting fact that God does not perform His mira cles in response to the prayers of a wicked man. That was too much for them, and they cast him out. Even as the stupidity and* stub born willful unbelief of our Lord’s enemies grew step by step, so also did the healed man’s assurance grow as he testified. First he called the Lord “a man called Jesus” (v. 11); then “a prophet” (v. 17), and then at last, “the Son of God” (vv. 35-38). Standing true to Christ and speak ing for Him means growth in faith, in knowledge and in grace. It may mean persecution and even exclu sion, but remember that when the man was cast out by the haters of Christ, he met Christ. “His excom munication was a promotion. He went from the synagogue to the Saviour” (Scroggie). And that is our third point. III. Fellowship (vv. 35-38). He did not know Jesus. He had heard His voice, but he was blind then and had not seen Him. He probably did not know where to find Him. Then, too, he was now an outcast under the disfavor of the authorities, and even his friends would fear to be seen with him. But Jesus sought him. Ah, that’s the glorious difference between our Lord and those who look at the out ward appearance of things. He went to find the man who now needed fellowship, instruction and encour agement. He had sought the man out to heal him, now He sought him again to help him spiritually. We need to learn of our Lord that we are not to wait until the sin and suffering of men force themselves upon our attention and force us to do some thing. We are to go out into the highways and the hedges and urge sinners to come to Christ. We have failed in this. We have built churches and expected the people to come, instead of going where the people are, and bringing them the gospel. The war is teaching us some lessons in that connection, but we are none too quick to learn and to act. There is a beautiful touch in verse 37. Dr. Maclaren points out that when speaking to the woman of Samaria, Jesus said: “I that speak unto thee am he,” but to the man who had just begun to see He said: “Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that speaketh to thee.” The Christ who gave sight, now gives Himself to be seen.

Rather Late Hour to Be Changing Instruments The street musician was tired, and the motorist agreed to give him a lift to the next town. As they were racing at terrific speed down a hill, the motorist suddenly shouted above the noise of the car: “What instrument do you play?” The musician shouted back: “The violin!” The driver crouched over the steering wheel, peering ahead. He yelled: “That’s a pity!” “Why is it a pity?” demanded the musician. “It’s a pity you don’t play the harp!” yelled the motorist. “The brakes won’t work!” If you’re concerned about what sort of gift to send a friend or rela tive in one of Uncle Sam’s •branches of the services, your worries are over. If he smokes a pipe or rolls-his-own, the answer is a pound of tobacco. Numerous surveys made among soldiers, sailors, marines, and Coast Guardsmen show that tobacco ranks first on his gift list. Local tobacco dealers are featuring Prince Albert in the pound can for service men. Prince Albert, the world’s largest-selling smok ing tobacco, is a big favorite among many men in the service. —Adv. 46 and 48.
