/ THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C. Released by Western Newspaper Union. By VIRGINIA VALE R osalind russell cer tainly avoids monotony! In Columbia’s “The Guilt of Janet Ames” she wears one costume consisting of 3% pounds of diamonds and about IVz pounds of tulle, net and sequins. The diamonds are set in a huge necklace, earrings and a se ries of bracelets. Quite a change from her “Sister Kenny” costumes, and from those she’ll wear in RKO’s ■ 0k i ROSALIND RUSSELL version of the O’Neill play, “Mourn ing Becomes Electra”; she spent a couple of weeks at Palm Springs resting up preparatory to working in that one, set to go before the cameras just about now. Danny Kaye’s 1947 picture is all set; called, at present, “That’s Life,” it revolves around the central character of a professor of serious music who becomes involved in an academic analysis of jazz. We hear it’ll be Kaye’s most elaborate musi cal so far. Pat Buttram, comedian of the Sat urday Night Roundup, wanted some patchwork quilts for his home, but the prices asked in antique shops ap palled him. So he wrote to friends in Alabama who used to make quilts by the dozen, found he could buy them for $3.50 and got started or dering quilts and couldn’t stop. So now the situation’s reversed—he’s looking for customers for patchwork quilts. * Ezio Pinza, Metropolitan Opera star who has added greatly to his popularity by doing guest shots on the radio, has signed with United Artists for three years. YouTl see him in “Carnegie Hall” before long; after that, in “Babes in Toyland.” Rise Stevens, star of the Sunday “Family Hour,” tells this one on herself. One season when she was leaving Prague for an opera tour of Europe, Walter Surovy, whom she’d met there, said “Write to me when you have a chance. I’m collecting stamps.” Not a line did he get from her, not a stamp. But he must have learned a more romantic approach somewhere — she finally married him! Jim Backus, best known for his “Hubert Updike III” role on the Alan Young show, plans a club called “Millionaires Anonymous”; says it’ll be made up of busy radio stooges whose names don’t mean much to the public, but whose week ly incomes pass the four-figure mark. Take Jim’s case; besides his Friday night stint with Alan, he’s frequently heard with Fibber McGee and Molly, Bob Bums, Jack Carson and Jack Benny. * Five-year-old Marcia Anne North rop appears in Samuel Goldwyn’s “The Bishop’s Wife.” Her mother, a Goldwyn Girl, appeared with Ed die Cantor in “Palmy Days” way back in 1931. So Marcia Anne has been enrolled as a Goldwyn Girl, class of 1960. Three years ago Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy broadcast from Mexico City, the first time a major commercial program had originated outside the U. S. Now, on March 16th, they’ll do it again. The entire troupe, including Ray No ble’s band and singer Anita Gordon, will be on hand for the broadcast. —* Professor Quiz (heard now on Saturday evenings) tells the inside story of how he got his first sponsor. Ten years ago the network was try ing to sell an elaborate, costly pro- » gram; since it’s good policy to offer an alternate program with the one they’re trying to sell, it was decid ed to offer Professor Quiz as the sacrificial goat. So—the sponsor heard both programs, chose the Pro fessor. ODDS AND ENDS—Harry James appears in one of the top sequences of "A Miracle Can Happen? with Jimmy Stewart and Henry Fonda. ... The "Low er Basin Street" series, which was Dinah Shore’s springboard to fame, and which a lot of us miss, may return to the air. . . . Major night-time radio shows are seldom carried by more than 180 stations on a "full network,” but the ABC "hum Abner" series is beard over 26i outlets. . . . Although Bing Crosby and the Art- draw Sisters have been making recordings together for five years, they will appear together in a motion picture for the first lime m "Road-to Rio." WOMAN'S WORLD Full Length Coats Easily Made Into Fashion-Wise Shorties (f3u £rtta WHEN you can convert old coats into something fashionable and ex ceedingly wearable, it’s like finding a bargain that you didn’t expect. Yet, there are very few woolens that cannot be made fashionwise and practical. Taka an outmoded, full length spring coat which now looks shabby and extremely unwearable. This can be completely re-cut and made into one of the new coats with a full, rippling back, and full push-up sleeves, if you desire. Yes, even the lining, if it will still give wear, can be used for the new coat. When you are making something new out of something old, always select a pattern that is simple. You will have to make the old fabric do, and there is usually not enough to plan on for lots of extra detaiL However, it is a matter of prac tical experiment that a full length coat, even though it has rather nar row shoulders and sleeves, can be made into a new shortie coat with fashion features such as the full back and new, wide sleeves. But how is this done, you ask? Well, by clever piecing, of course. You may use a tweed coat, if you wish, but if you are still somewhat of an amateur in this business of sewing, I’d suggest working with a solid color that is easier to match in the intricate job of cutting and fitting together properly. Preparation of Material Precedes Cutting It’s no fun working with a dusty piece of fabric. Do have it cleaned first, as this will make it easier to see just what you have for work ing. And another thing, if the old coat has faded, it’s perfectly pos sible to have the material dyed ei ther commercially or at home be fore you do any cutting at all. Woolens dye nicely if you use a dye suitable for the material and work If you have an outmoded coat . . . with the directions instead of against them. I can guarantee they will be soft and pliable to the touch. If you have a light blue coat that has faded in spots, dye the whole thing a navy, which will cover faded portions. A yellow coat which looks rather soggy can be dyed with blue to give you one of the popular new greens. Brown dyed with red gives a lovely reddish brown, while an orange dyed with purple gives a nice rust shade. After the material has dried, it should be pressed smooth just as would any other woolen garment. Use a damp cloth, and not too hot an iron and keep going over the damp cloth long enough to dry it out and make the wool smooth. Recut and sew it into a fashionable one. Hang for a few minutes to permit a thorough drying of the materiaL If the wool has worn badly, plan to use the wrong side of the ma terial as your right side- it will look more fresh and new. Finish Coat With Lining, Shoulder Pads There are so many types of shoul der pads now available that it prob ably will not be necessary for you to make your own. However, you will want to select them with care. If your coat has a soft shoulder line, you will not want too large pads. Choose something that will make the coat look truly casual. IMPROVED' UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL UNDAYI chool Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D. Of •The Moody Bible IneUtute of ChicafO. Released by Western Newspaper Union. s LESSON FOR MARCH 16 A smart teen-age choice for the social-minded miss is this dressmak er suit so fitted for social or business gathering. Young dressmakers will find it easy to style in plain gray or beige gabardine that combines well with light or dark accessories. If, on the other hand, you have a coat with a boxy look and one that shows a great deal of shoulder in terest, it’s best to select heavier pads. The size of the "pads in each shoulder can vary, depending upon how your shoulders line up with each other. When the coat is completely fin ished it’s ready for the lining, which should be of a smooth, closely woven material that wears well. The lining may have an extra fold at the back to give you a feeling of roominess. The sewing on the lining is done much as that on a dress would be. The important thing is to cut it to fit and then sew the seams and slipstitch into place. The coat, nat urally, is hemmed before the lining is added, as lining and coat are separate. You can save yourself a lot of time in fitting the lining if the coat is turned inside out. Also, press the seams of the lining flat after you fin ish sewing it. Pinning and basting will help you keep the lining in place while you do the slipstitching. Try the coat on after basting to see whether or not you feel comfortable in it. Move the arms about to make certain there is enough roominess. Choosing Fabrics If you’ve decided you want gathers in your next dress, here’s the way to select a suitable fab ric. Gather the material in your hands, as you would in gathering it, and see whether it lies in soft gathers or whether it juts out at angles. If you want pleats in your next dress, you must look for a fab ric that has a certain crispness or wariness, or you will constant ly have to press in your pleats. If you can crease the fabric and have the mark remain readily, you can be sure the material will pleat. When you are making a wool en dress, always select a light weight wool. Heavier woolens are made only for suits or coats, and are somewhat difficult to work with. If you’ve decided on ruffles ga lore, choose a fabric that has some crispness like organdie, marquisette, etc. You’ll also do wisely choosing a fabric that has a permanent finish. For dresses with straight clas sic lines, choose a material that has some body, and one that will hang straight easily without too much tugging. Firmness of fab ric is very important here. For dresses with draped ef fects, choose a fabric that has softness but enough weight, and not too much stiffness. For dresses that have a soft ness, choose fabrics that seem to mold themselves easily like ray on, crepe or silk. A hovel type of hat recently seen is the draped hat. This is carefully molded to the head and gives the wearer a rather sculptured look. You’ll be seeing lots of laces and chiffons used about the bodice and the neckline in the new fashions. Bertha yokes and shawls are being used for effect in many new collec tions. The trim look is very evident in the new spring hats. You’ll find small brims, cloches and other styles, but many of them look re strained. Jackets on dresses and suits show a wide variety. There's everything from the neat and short bolero to the long cutaway types, and even tunic styles.

MEMORY SELECTION — Ye are my friends. If ye do whatsoever I command you.—John 13:14. The hour had come for our Lord’s final intimate words with his dis ciples. It was indeed a solemn, but also a blessed, hour. I It was the night before the dark est day in the world’s history. On the morrow the Son of man was. to ■ hang on Calvary’s tree for the sins of the world—for your sins and for mine. But for the moment he was alone with his disciples. The last Passover had been eaten together, the betrayer had been dis covered, and the Lord has told them that he was soon to go where they could not follow. Peter had, by his bold self-assurance, brought forth the prophecy of his denial. The disciples were disturbed in heart and mind. Then came from the Saviour’s lips the) words of com fort, assurance and power which have been the strength and solace of his people through all the centuries. Our life both here and hereafter is in his mighty hands. We learn in this precious portion of Scripture that I. The Christian Need Not Be Fearful (14:1-6). That is indeed a good word—a needed word! Troubled hearts are everywhere—in the palace and in the cottage, on land, in the air and on the sea. There is a place of rest, thank God! There is One who still sfeaks the majestic words, “Let not your heart be troubled, believe in God, believe also in me. His comfort is one which covers the future life, for he says, “I go to prepare a place” (v. 2). Concern about future destiny is settled at once when Christ Jesus becomes our Lord and Saviour. We need worry no longer. He has gone on before to the Father’s house to pre pare a place for his own. When we come to that ever-peaceful shore we shall not come as strangers, but as sons and daughters to a pre pared place in our Father’s house. His words, “I will come again” (v. 3), gives present meaning to the future promise. He not only pre pared the place, but he it is who brings us there. The glorious hope of his coming again is the Chris tian’s greatest comfort and might iest incentive to useful, holy living. U. The Christian Need Not Be Powerless (14:12-15). Christ’s followers are not here in a world of sin and need as a little group of hymn-singing weaklings, thinking only of the day when they shall be in a brighter land. Ah, yes, they sing hymns and rejoice in them; they look for a better land; their weapons of warfare are not carnal. But weaklings? Oh, no! God uses them to do great and mighty things for his glory. Note the blessed words of Jestis, “He that believeth on me” (v. 12). The army of God carries the royal banner of faith in a living Christ. “Greater works . . . shall he do” (v. 12). Jesus only began his work on earth; its greatest development was to be the joyous privilege of his followers. We are ashamed that we have not lived up to this great prom ise, but by his grace we will do bet ter. “If ye ask ... I will do” (v. 14). Someone has called this a signed blank check on all the resources of God. III. The Christian Need Not Be Distressed (14:16-18). The Holy Spirit, promised by Christ as the abiding comforter, came so to abide in the believer on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2). ■ The ministries of the Holy Spirit I are many, but here the emphasis ; is on his work as Comforter. What a blessed and helpful ministry, and how much needed by distressed and disturbed souls! The Christian may count on him — and not be dis tressed. IV. The Christian Need Not Be Detached (15:1-6). What is worse than the feeling that one does not belong to any one else, that one is a detached individual! That is never true of the believer in Christ. We are as close to him as the branch is to the vine. We are in him. j Christ is the vine, and the be liever as a true branch is united with him. There is a oneness here which is difficult to express, but de lightful to receive and believe. He who is the vine needs no cleansing, but the branch needs constant, daily purification by the word. Are we permitting God’s Word to keep us clean? Only if we are reading it, studying it, meditating upon it. There is, moreover, a severer type of purging to yhich the husband man subjects the vine that it may bear more richly, and that is prun ing (v. 2). Some branches must be cut away altogether and burned (▼. 6). They lack the evidence of life — fruit bearing—and must be destroyed. ★ ★ ★ ★ ir ★ ★ ★ ★ *• ★ ★ HOUSEHOLD ' '-kkM' mm Mm mm mm M f 4# OS, Let Children Entertain Their Young Friends At Home Suppers When serving supper to a gang of teen-agers, prepare a casserole as illustrated here, and let the young sters serve themselves.
