There’s no need to put up with sad-looking family hand-me- downs if you can run a sewing ma chine or take a needle in your hand and transform today’s fabrics into things of beauty and loveliness. A few yards of printed or plain cotton or rayon can be turned out into handsome quilted and appliqued finishes for headboard slipcovers aft er a few lessons at your local sew ing center. You can, for example, pad a slip cover and work out a quilting design at the same time with just a little instruction and turn the white elephant of a bed into a thing of beauty. Checked gingham, flower sprigged or striped fabrics are best for a quilted design which is easy to apply with the quilting attachment to the machine. If your heart is set on one of the lovely appliqued designs, your best choice is a plain back ground which sets off the floral de signs of the applique. The zigzagger attachment will do the job neatly and in very short order. Outmoded wooden bedsteads should be cut down to modern pro portions before you attempt cover ing the headboard. Perhaps a handy carpenter or even friend husband would enjoy doing the job in one of his spare moments. If ydu’re not quite certain of the lines to use, then check over some modern pieces before you attempt to start the remodeling. You may even use p studio couch or box spring mattress combination if you don’t have a regular bed. In this case, attach a headboard made of compo or plywood cut to bed width. Take Measurements First When Making Covering To determine the fabric necessary for the headboard, measure across the top of it for width and then from top to bottom for depth. Lay the material lengthwise across the front of the headboard to avoid seams down the center front. Join narrow IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson By HA*OLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D.

After the guide is set, stitch as you would any straight seam. Floral Printed Remnants Easy to Use for Appliques For an appliqued slip cover, cut out designs from a floral printed remnant and then applique to the plain fabric slip cover, using a zig zagger attachment. Both of these headboard effects can be enhanced with matching bedspreads, the quilt ing and applique work being done in much the same fashion as for the headboard. Frilly ruffles that complement headboard drama can be stitched for bedspreads with the ruffler at tachment. This gadget ruffles and stitches all in one operation. If you’re a career girl and house keeper combination, then select the bedspread with care. You’ll want one that fits perfectly without too much fussing—one that you can swiftly maneuver into place in the morning and snap off quickly in the evening. A simple quilted bedspread or a cotton appliqued one will lay nicely on the bed, and will be simple as far as care is concerned. Of course, if you want more glam our, you can go in for the frilly, ruffled types made of sheer materi als like organdie and dotted Swiss, but this is something strictly fem inine, and you don’t want to subject your brand new husband to too many fancy frills. A gathered skirt also is accept able if you want something fem inine but tailored. This can be ef fectively worked out with a floral print spread and a plain colored gather. This motif also can be car ried out in draperies and dressing table skirt. Tucks and Stitches Remember that in planning a new dress or re-styling an old one, it is important to recognize the relationship between your pattern and the fabric you select. Moreover, the fabric may suit the pattern design perfectly, but you also must bear in mind that there is just as much relationship be tween the fabric and your fig ure. Sewing center experts guide you in differentiating between these two important factors, and at the same time recommend fab ric designs that will assure figure flattery. For example, if yours is a short, stout figure, you should stay away from bold stripes and loud plaids that will tend to make you look shorter and stockier, and choose rather plain fabrics in be coming muted colors. The dress that suddenly has be come short-waisted and uncom fortable is still a “remake” pos sibility. The sewing center in your locality will show you how easy it is to put this dress back into circulation. All you need for this problem is a mid-riff insert strip of printed or striped fabric, if the dress is a solid color. The reverse is true if the dress is made of a print fabric.

JESUS CROSSES RACIAL BOUNDARIES LESSON TEXT—John 4:4-10. 27.30. 39-42 MEMORY SELECTION—Whosoever drink- eth of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst.—John 4:14. Racial and social prejudice divide mankind, although they are really one family by the creation of God. Speaking a thousand or more tongues and countless dialects; liv ing in separated areas; suffering un der or priding themselves in (as the case may be) a certain social order, • and disagreeing even about the ' things of God, they manage to build up formidable barriers between their various groups. The Word of God by both precept and practical example teaches just the opposite. I. Barriers Broken (w. 4-9). Contrast the woman of Samaria with Nicodemus, whose coming to Christ we studied last week. He was rich; she was poor. He was a Jew; she was of the mixed race of Samar itans. He was a man of character and high position; she was immoral and uneducated. He sought Jesus; Jesus sought her. In doing so, he cut straight across the barriers of race, tradition, social position, education, everything. He was interested in her soul’s salva tion and nothing could stand in his way. We would do well to follow his example. Every Christian is by his very calling a soul-winner. We dare not delegate this responsibility to the pastor or missionary. As soul-win ners we are vitally interested in our Lord’s approach to this woman who was far from God, apparently hope lessly involved in sinful associations, a citizen of a hostile nation and aji adherent of another religious faith. By asking a favor of her, Christ tactfully placed himself (as does any petitioner), for the moment, on her own plane. He was not a distant, learned religious leader deigning to cast a bit of religious philosophy to her. He was a tired, thirsty man asking for a drink of water. But he was inore! He was the gracious Son of God, declaring to her that he was ready to give to her the water of life. II. Problems Solved (w. 9, 10, 27-30). The first problem this poor woman nad to face was her sin problem. Is not that true of all of us? She first tried to avoid it by rais ing the race problem, and the reply of Jesus told her of the water of life. Her quick desire to escape the drudgery of carrying water, gave him opportunity to face her with her sin. She could never find peace and joy until there was a frank and open facing of sin in her life. Let us make no mistake at this point, for the moral law of God is, the same now as it was on that far- jff day when Jesus brought the woman of Samaria face to face with ner own sin. Possibly in an effort to evade her, moral problem by theological discus sion (a common practice in our day, loo!), and partly because of her ig norance of true worship, she asked a question about a controversial matter relating to outward cere mony. Is it not a singular thing now men who know nothing of spir itual life delight in the propagation and defense of organizations and in the conduct of outward religious ex- srcises? True worship is revealed (v. 23) as being first "in spirit.” We da not cast aside all external helps ta worship, but real worship goes through and beyond both place and symbol to real soul communion with God, second, “in truth.” The disciples were wise enough not to interfere with what Jesus was doing (personal workers take note!), and it was not long before the wom an saw Jesus as the Christ! Observe now quickly she went to tell others. III. Salvation Declared (vv. 39-42). Jesus honors this poor fallen wom an by making to her his first dec laration of himself as the Messiah (vv. 26, 27). He is the high and sxalted One, but he is at the same cime the friend of sinners. To Nico demus, the learned ruler of the Jews, he spoke of the new birth. To ;he poor woman of Samaria he de- :lared his Messiahship. He is no respecter of persons, and neither are those who truly follow him. Those whom the woman brought to Jesus saw and h,eard for themselves, and many of them believed. Per sonal testimony is a wonderful thing, but the ultimate purpose of such wit ness is to get men to come by faith into the presence of the Lord Jesus himself. A personal experience with Christ leads to real assurance; without which there can be no spiritual growth or usefulness. May many who read these words, and who have so often heard and read about Jesus, come to him to day so that they may say: “Now we believe . . . for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is in deed the Christ, the Saviour of the world” (v. 42). Delight the Family With Coffee Cakes ■ (See recipes below) Hot Breads Are Delicious Whether you serve yeast breads or hot quick breads, they lend them selves graciously to winter menus. The varieties for both are number less, and you can take your choice of spicy or fruit ones. * Hot breads are hearty foods, but they’re welcome at this season both from the point of eating and the comfortable air which fills the kitchen when we make them. They have a staying quality, too, which satisfies winter-sharpened appetites. We start the parade off with a colorful cranberry coffee ring which can be put together in a wink of time.
