\ THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. Softly Draped Handbags Tuned to Stunning Fall and Winter Costumes By CHERIE NICHOLAS ESIGNERS are on the qui vive this season to create handsome handbags that will measure up to the fashion glory and the new ele gance of the stunning costumes which go to make up the fall and winter style picture. In assembling your fall-winter wardrobe, keep in mind that this year your costume will be only as smart as the handbag you carry with it. That’s how important hand bags really are. You will have no trouble in finding as handsome hand bags and as versatile as ever fancy might picture. Be sure to make your selection with meticulous care, for this year’s handbags make a de cided departure from the stereo typed styles of yore. The three voguish Jenny handbags shown in the illustration are typical of the new movement toward the feminine look, achieved through soft draping. These bags are styled as American women prefer them, with elegance and stark clean lines, and in fabrics that mean fashion and wearability. With your perfect dawn-to-dusk trotteur, the bag to the left will be ideal. It is spiced with the new soft look via uniquely quilted and gath ered supple goatskin. You’ll take real pleasure in this bag because it is so roomily built to take care of your feminine possessions, and it sure is a winner in “looks.” Simple enough for tailored cas uals, feminine enough for all your frills is the handbag centered above. It tells you that the under arm bag has lost its strictly tailored look, has been lifted out of it this season with soft pleats and deft draping, as you see. The supple goatskin that fashions this bag is most attractive not only to the eye but to the touch. The mock tor toise lhat makes such a good-look ing trim is outstanding in the news when it comes to adding the touch that tells to this season’s smartest handbags. Sleek, smooth, quality-kind broad cloth, the fabric that fraternizes with most every costume, makes the good-looking bag to the right. In this instance, the designer takes the ever-popular underarm handle bag and artfully drapes a pleated flange through a graceful span of mock tor toise. Speaking in general of what’s what in new handbag fashions, the most exciting innovation in many a season is the advent of little bulb ous pouch . bags done in eye-catch ing silhouettes. These pouch bags certainly have cunning ways and they are staging a display of breath taking novelty. Made of practical broadcloth, faille and various wear able media, they carry on in a modest way by day. When it comes to the dressy cocktail party and gala after-five occasion, however, the lit tle pouch bag puts on a spectacu lar display that fairly bubbles over with all the glitter and intriguing fussiness imagination can devise. Just now it’s the whimsical pouch bag of black satin that holds forth in the fashion spotlight. Women are buying these bags to go with the satin hat and with the all-satin gown that is so style-important this fall. These black satin bags are perfect with afternoon and evening clothes. The party bags fairly scintillate with the glitter of sequins or tiny steel or jet beads. Most of the box bags have straps to sling over the arm. The newsiest news of all is the little shoulder strap bags that become a decorative part of the frock when dancing. Released by Western Newspaper Union. Blouse Favorites Sheer lingerie blouses of loveliest texture, and exquisitely detailed with lace register as topflight fash ion with the young set this fall to wear with the dress-up suit. Shown at the top is a charming "come hith er” blouse in batiste by Judy Bond, a young college girl and stylist who is combining a career and school ing with high success. The other blouse in judiana rayon crepe is the wanted kind for college wear. Its highspot style details are the triple- stitched convertible V-neck, closely set pearl buttons and french cuffs. Comes in white and voguish colors. Furred Cloth Coats Make Fashion News The short cloth coat with in triguing fur trim is taking over in a tremendous way for fall. The top news is luxurious wool coats with gorgeous borders that either trim the flare hemline or are applied in a tuxedo manner down the front. Im portant is the style message of fur sleeves in cloth coats, such as the belted wool shorties in neutral shades that are fashioned with waist deep sleeves of black Persian. In teresting also is the cloth coat with a fur yoke. Contrasting the voluptu ous fur trims is the use of fur in discreet ways, as for instance, the cloth coat that is bound all around the edges with Persian or beaver oi other smooth peltry. There is also ! indication that one type fur will trim ■ another. Designers are doing won derful things with fur, not only in trimming but in accessories, and fur hats are being turned out in end less versions. Color Contrast Extended To New Evening Dresses The idea of color contrast is associated in our minds for the most part in connection with sporty clothes and daytime dresses. It’s in teresting to note that this color technique is carrying on in the realm of formal evening gowns. In one instance a noted designer intro duces a panel that extends from the right shoulder to the floor hemline of the dress. The panel is made up of lime and red, flashed against a black background. Sequin Ornaments on Combs Sequin flower motifs on combs are among the hair ornaments that are best sellers. Some are designed especially for top hairdress and oth ers for top-knot hair-do. ” IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Wesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D. Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. Released by Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for October 28 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. TEMPERANCE BEGINS AT HOME LESSON TEXT—H Timothy 1:1-6; 3:14-15; Titus 2:1-4. 11. 12. GOLDEN TEXT—As lor me and my house, we will serve the Lord.—Joshua 24: 15. The influence of the home on the character of a child is the strongest factor in the development of high and holy standards in the life of the man and woman. “Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it” (Prov 22:6). Emphasis is placed on temper ance in our lesson, and it is clear : that in the home real temperance ■ principles may be built into the thinking of boys and girls. It is not easy for a young person who has been brought up right on this | matter to go astray, no matter how severe the temptation. I. Our Family Is God’s Gift (II Tim. 1:1-5). Paul, the apostle of Christ, ad dressed his s»n in the faith, Timo- thy, with affection and appreciation. I He knew the good which was in this ] fine young man and saw the possi bilities for service for God. He knew that as the background of that faith, there was a godly line of ancestors, those with an “un feigned faith.” This young man, so precious to Paul and so successful in the ministry, owed a deep and abid ing i- ’jt of gratitude to these godly wom^ri who had directed his steps aright, who had instructed and en couraged him in the right way. Let those who are young recognize parents and grandparents who ad monish and instruct them as God’s gift. Let them not regard them as those who would restrict or restrain them unduly, but who for their own good and the glory of the Lord teach them the way to God. II. Our Faith in God’s Guidance (II Tim. 1:6; 3:14, 15). The gift of God for preaching which Timothy had was recognized by the church, and he was sent forth to proclaim the gospel. But alas! the burdens of life and the pressure of service cause a man to forget or neglect his calling so there comes often the need of stirring up the gift of the Lord. God gave it. He will bless us as we use it to its fullest possible ex tent. He wants us too, to stir it up —this blessed, divine gift and call ing. The admonition (v. 14) is to "con tinue” in that which was learned, to remain true to the Word of God. We show our faith in His guiding hand, as we resist by His grace, the ever-present temptation to get away from the only true founda tion of a life of usefulness and joy. What we have learned as children we should hold fast in spite of all the devices of Satan and every weak ness of the flesh. Stand fast in the faith! III. Our Fellowship In God’s Gos pel (Titus 2:1 4). Old and youi;- are tc be united in a great communion of believers pro claiming the gospel of God’s grace by a living testimony, by a life de voted to the things of God. Sound doctrine is the only source of sound living. To be “sound” means to be healthy, vigorous, free from defects, suited to a purpose. That means that everyday Christian living must express the vigorous soundness of the gospel. Men and women are to be “tem perate,” not given to excess, and particularly in mind here is the use of intoxicants. To be temperate in such a day and land as ours can mean only one thing, and that is to abstain altogether. Christians ought to keep entirely away from intoxi cants, and that includes beer and wine. There is a positive side to the ad monition, for soundness of life and faith shows itself in holy living, love, patience, the teaching of God’s Word, and in fine fellowship among the people of God. We need to stress that side of the teaching of this passage. IV. Our Faithfulness by God’s Grace (w. 11, 12). God’s grace has brought salvation to man through Jesus Christ and His atoning death on the cross. That grace calls for and calls forth from the believer a renouncing of that which is ungodly and lustful (and you can put intoxicants right in there!) and a determination to live right in faithful devotion to God. That brings about right relation ships to self, to others, and to God. The Christian is sober and self-con- trolled as to anything which could “intoxicate’ him, whether it be liquor, or lust, or pride, or any other such thing. He also shows that grace of God before men in a life of righteousness. Then he finds his true place in a reverent devotion to God which makes him a worshiper “in spirit and in truth: for the Fa ther seeketh such to worship him” (John 4:23). Faithfulness to our Lord will count more than our words in the great battle against intemperance. Let us stand true to Him and keep our wit ness clear and strong!

It doesn’t have to be birth day time to cele brate, because parties for the younger set are fun to have, and essential for de veloping social poise. Parties like this are easy on moth er because refreshments must nec essarily be simple. A little imagi nation and flair for decoration will do the rest. Good wholesome food prepared at tractively will go a long way toward satisfying the little guests. Add a few gay tablecloths and napkins, some easy but exciting games and you have all the ingredients for a successful party. If you are serving sandwiches, cut them into shapes with animal cut ters. A cool glass of milk, or hot chocolate with a frothy blob of whipped cream—now returned to the grocery shelves—will bring forth cheers from Jimmy’s or Joan’s friends. The favorite dessert is cake or cookies with ice cream of course! Anything you can do to make this latter partyfied will all be on the credit side of the party. Now that cheese and meat are easier to obtain, you can again have fun with sandwiches. Not too much seasoning, though, because young sters’ stomachs are sensitive. Here are some good suggestions: Bologna Filling. (Makes 15 to 20 sandwiches) 1 pound bologna >4 cup chopped pickles or relish 1 cup mayonnaise 1 tablespoon minced onion Dash of tabasco sauce 3 hard-cooked eggs Vt teaspoon salt 1 cup ground raw carrots H cup chopped celery Grind bologna and mix thorough ly with relish, mayonnaise, onion and sauce. Divide in half and to one part add 3 hard-cooked eggs, chopped, and % teaspoon salt. To the other half add the carrots and celery. Deviled Egg Filling. 4 hard-cooked eggs V4 teaspoon salt *4 teaspoon pepper ii teaspoon dry mustard 4 teaspoons vinegar 1 tablespoon chopped parsley 4 tablespoons mayonnaise Chop the eggs fine. Add other in gredients and mix well. Deviled Cheese Filling. H pound mild cream cheese 1 small onion 3 canned pimientoes or chopped green or red peppers 3 hard-cooked eggs, chopped H teaspoon salt 14 teaspoon paprika 4 tablespoons mayonnaise Lynn Says: Don’t Ration Eye Appeal: Foods that look their best usually taste the best, too, because they’ve been cooked and served properly. When garnishing daily dinner and luncheon platters, simplici ty is the theme. A few freshened carrot tops, lettuce leaves, strips of green pepper or tomato wedges make the difference between the family’s liking the food and mere ly eating it quietly. Candles, simple flowers or a bowl of fruit add to the table im mensely. They even seem to make the food more palatable. Serve meat balls and chops on a bed of watercress and watch the difference. Or, cut grapefruit rind into fancy shapes with a cutter and set them against a background af green. Children’s Party Menu. •Assorted Sandwiches Hot Chocolate •Ice Cream Clowns Popcorn Hard Candies •Recipes given. Grind the cheese, onion and pi- miento. Add the eggs, seasoning and mayonnaise. Mix thoroughly. Fruit salads, which contain well-liked fruits, are. a nice con trast to sand wiches at chil dren’s parties. This one will be high in favor: Orange, Pineapple and Apple Salad. (Serves 6 to 8) 3 oranges, peeled and diced 3 slices canned pineapple or 1 cup tidbits 1 unpeeled red apple, diced 1 cup seeded grapes, slivered 14 cup pitted dates, cut in small pieces 14 cup mayonnaise Mix fruit with mayonnaise and chill very thoroughly. Serve on shredded lettuce. During the cooler weather, it is often advisable to have a hot dish for the youngsters to start things off right. Now that cheese is again available, it might be a good idea to serve the following spaghetti dish: Creamy Spaghetti. (Serves 6) 4 tablespoons butter or fat 4 tablespoons flour 1 teaspoon salt 14 teaspoon pepper 2 cups milk 14 cup grated American cheese 14 cup chopped green pepper 14 cup chopped pimiento 3 chopped hard-cooked eggs 2 cups .cooked spaghetti (14 pound uncooked) Make a white sauce of the butter, flour, salt and pepper. Blend in milk, cheese, peppe^ and pimiento. Add eggs and spaghetti. Pour into a greased baking dish and bake 35 minutes in a moderate (325-de gree) oven. Turn onto a hot serv ing platter and garnish with chopped stuffed olives or pickles. Simple foods made to look pretty are a big hit at any party and doubly so if the foods are ice cream and cook ies. In this des sert to top off the festivities, a plain cookie forms the ruff of the clown’s suit, a ball of ice cream makes the head with raisin eyes and cherry nose and mouth. An inverted ice cream cone makes the clown’s hat. Ice Cream Clowns. (Serves 6) 6 large cookies 1 quart vanilla ice cream 6 cones Seedless raisins Candied or maraschino cherries Arrange cookies on a large plate. In center of each place a ball of ice cream. Top each ice cream ball with an inverted ice cream cone. Decorate each ball with raisin eyes and cherry nose and mouth. Vegetable Dinner. Remove the leaves from the cauli flower and cut off any bruised or dirty spots. Place it, top downward, in a deep bowl of cold salted water and allow it to stay there about half an hour to draw out dust and other impurities. Cook it whole in boil ing water, uncovered. Cook 15-25 minutes until tender. Add about % cup milk to the water in which it is boiled—it will keep the cauli flower white. Lift out the cauliflower carefully and allow it to drain in a warm place. Scrape the two small bunches of carrots, dice them and add them to briskly boiling water. Salt them and boil them until tender—about 10-12 minutes. Drain and butter.
