With Slipcovered Headboards
£rtta ^Jlale
If you’re one of the thousands of
war brides still waiting to see your
dream home come true, there are
several ways of making your life at
present one of comfort and pleasant
ness. 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

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. Sever

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).
