i Lovely Sheer Cottons Star In Summer Bride Picture By CHERIE NICHOLAS W ™ A I > y ^ mTOsM 'T'HERE’S no need to ■*■ quote imposing statis tics to prove that there’s a big boom on in weddings. All anyone has to do is glance at the daily society columns in the newspapers and count her invitations to know that weddings are making an all time record. Today’s young couples, for the most part, believe that budget plan ning is the better part of patriotism, and at the same time 1943 brides are more anxious than ever to look their loveliest on this day of days— a picture for him to carry ever when he goes forth to war. The answer— a wedding gown of one or other of the beguiling cottons that will have a matchless beauty all its own no matter how inexpensive it may be. Girls in cotton bridal gowns are say ing “I do” more often than ever before in fashion history. What an enchanting picture they make, the organdies and nets, mar quisettes, cotton laces and so on, that are being fashioned into wedding gowns so entrancing no bride could wish for anything prettier or more flattering. A dress of cotton lace and net with bodice of lace teamed with a billowy skirt made up of al ternate bands of lace and net, as shown-to the right in the illustration, will make any bride look as if she had stepped out of the pages of a fairybook story. This model is perfectly charming, either in all white or an exquisitely delicate pastel (preferably pale pink). It is fashion news of no lit tle importance, this matter of a de lectable tint for the wedding gown. The matching net headdress that accompanies this net-with-lace dress is adorable, and it is the last word in chic. The heart neckline and the bracelet sleeves add youthful accent. This dress will prove a perfect gem when it comes to functioning as a dinner gown on gala evenings after the ceremony. Best of all as ex quisitely fragile looking as it is, you’ll find that it will come up smil ing after each laundering. Wedding marches and organdie brides will be playing a most charm ing duet the whole summer through. A garden bride who doesn’t want a train to trail in the dew does well to select a simple white organdie like the ankle-length gown pictured to the left. The very simplicity of this dress is its charm, with its wide ingenious sash and triple tucks around the hem. The leghorn hat makes the costume resemble a Sir Joshua Reynolds’ portrait. Often organdie is handled in a muchly beruffled manner, for the bride, since, as you know, ruffles and frills and ruchings of cotton sheers animate summery frocks in all sorts of delightful ways this season. A recent bride who was greatly ad mired looked really beautiful in a beruffled organdie, youthfully styled, her headdress instead of the usual veil being a halo of self organdie arranged most artfully. As to other cottons for the wed ding dress, a formal point d’esprit gown with a train as long as the WPB allows, makes its wearer look indescribably lovely. In the young manner also, is an irresistible frost ed organdie with a pinafore look, created by ruffles over the shoulder and forming a peplum flounce. A white organdie with ruffled train, sleeves, skirt panels and headdress achieves a costume that would make any wedding a memorable occasion. For the more mature bride, but just as picturesque and flattering, is a stunning wedding gown that has a fichu of the organdy with medal lions of lace appliqued on both skirt and waist. Most of these bridal gowns come with equally lovely bridesmaids’ dresses in pastels that can carry on as summer evening gowns for the duration. Released by Western Newspaper Union. Pert Leghorns Comes the message from fashion headquarters that a renewed inter est is being shown in leghorn hats for little girls. Any wee maiden will look her prettiest this summer in a hat like the leghorn straw shown at the bottom. This cunning chapeau has a woven brim laced with narrow green velvet ribbon. A green gros- grain bow ties beneath the chin so that windy days this treasured bit of headgear will “stay put.” A gen erous application of ribbon makes the other hat most flattering to the pert young miss whose eyes are saucing you from under the brim. Satin for Suits Is New Vogue There is a new vogue on. It is suits of gleaming “duration” satin in either black or brown. You will also see many coat dresses and suave one-piece modes of satin. The news of satin for hats is also being heralded far and wide. You will find in smart fabric collections both all-silk satins, and particularly good looking is a range of Bemberg-rayon satins. There is a novelty Bemberg • satin being shown which is wonder fully attractive, in that it has a re verse side of bright stripes in Mexi can colors that is surfaced in a soft duvetyn-like finish. It is stunning used in fly-back drapes or as trinrw ming accent. Hat and Bag Sets It does not matter how simple or modest looking a suit or dress may be, it will take on an air of impor tance and distinction by teaming it with a gaily colorful hat and bag set such as milliners are taking such pride in turning out this season. Look about in the hat bars and you will come across such alluring twosomes as a tiny calot to wear back on the head together with an imposing en velope bag made of a basket weave fabric and braided all over with color-bright soutache. Novel Gloves One finds this season in glove col lections many interesting novelties. The fabric glove that is all-over em broidered is very attractive. Long black gloves have appliqued velvet butterflies up the arm. A crochet mesh white glove has very wide flar ing cuffs. A black lace glove carries lavish lace frills about the wrists. THE SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C, — 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 June 27 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. JOHN’S COUNSEL TO CHRISTIANS LESSON TEXT—n John 4-11; HI John 5-U. GOLDEN TEXT—Beloved, I pray that In all things thou mayest prosper and be In health; even as thy soul prospereth.—Ill John 2. Christians need guidance, especial ly in their home and church rela tionships. The apostle John, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, wrote the two personal letters known to us as II and III John. They abound in sound spiritual, practical advice. Note that these two words belong together, for what is truly spiritual cannot help but be tre mendously practical and perfect for the direction of thought and life. In these letters five admirable les sons are taught. Let us give heed to them. They are appropriate to our day. I. Set an Example Before Your Children (II John 4-6). We may not like to admit it, but our children are largely what we make them by their training—or lack of it—in the home. Parents have the grave and at the same time precious responsibility of being what they want their children to be. We set the mold of their thinking and acting, not only about material things, but mentally and spiritually, which is far more important. Above all we must teach them by precept and example to love God su premely, and to walk after His com mandments. Father, mother, have you done your duty? Are your chil dren “walking in truth” (v. 4)? II. Be on Guard Against False Teachers (II John 7-11). We are not to countenance false teaching even by entertaining such teachers, or having close fellowship with them. To create the impression before the world and the Church that they are "not so bad,” by ap pearing as their friends, is to par take of their evil works (v. 11). This is a serious matter, and one which is a problem in the Church today. Such teachers may easily be rec ognized. They are aptly described by Dr. Douglass; “In all ages the Church has been plagued by those who want to substitute something for pure Christian faith, or to embroider it with bright ideas of their own con ceiving. Such people may try to strip religion of its supernatural as pect and reduce it to a merely ra tionalistic system. They may seek to slyly loosen the moral standards of the Church because their own lives are deficient when measured by such standards. They may try to mini mize the teaching of the cross be cause it stands for sacrifice.” Watch against them, and stand against their destructive teaching. III. Be Diligent in Putting For ward True Teachers (III John 5-8). The door which should be closed against false teachers should be opened wide to those who are faith ful teachers of the truth. This refers primarily to the hos pitality of the home, and reminds us of a grace which has been all but forgotten in these days * of small apartments. Whether we are able to open our homes to God’s servants or not, we can show a Christian spirit of genu ine hospitality in helping to bring them forward (v. 6) in their work. This may be done by gifts of money, by kindness shown in time of need, by a real interest in their work, by recommending them to others who wish to hear the truth. Do everything possible, then, to hinder the false teacher, and be just as diligent to put forward the minis try of the true man of God. IV. Do Not Trust Proud, Self- Seeking Leadership (III John 9-11). A man may be orthodox, and in tensely loyal to the denomination, and at the same time be a wicked man whose example is to be shunned. No word is said against the teaching of Diotrephes. He was not condemned for being careless about the affairs of the church, or unfaithful in his attendance and de votion to its interest as he saw them. The sin of Diotrephes was pride, a desire to be the boss of the church, “No. 1 man” in its affairs. Lacking the true spirituality which always re sults in humility, he opposed the apostle. Not only did he' refuse to receive him, but used pressure on others who were willing to be hos pitable. V. Emulate the Life of the Man of Good Report (III John 12). A good man! No words of praise could possibly surpass such a testi mony. The world is full of brilliant, skilled, wealthy and prominent peo ple, but there is an appalling dearth of good men and women. How refreshing to meet, and how delightful to know, such a man—such a woman. Like Demetrius, they have not only the witness of the Church, and of the truth, but also of “all men.” But last week we said the world hates real Christians. It does, but it also respects them, and is forced to bear witness to their reality and goodness. Professed fellowship with God in Christ which does not result in good ness of life may well be scrutinized.

To skin tomatoes; Hold tomato on fork over flame and turn slow ly for about 1 minute. Slip off skins. To flute cucumber. Peel, length wise, and run prongs of fork through lengthwise, then slice cucumber thinly. To sieve egg yolks or whites: This is pretty for garnishing.
