CRAZY 2**®* CRYSTALS J WOMAN'S WORLD Give Tots Sense of Well-Being With Tastefully-Styled Clothes By Ertta Haley S ELECTING AND SEWING clothes for children can be lots of fun. When dressed properly and admired by all who see them, mothers feel that the reward is worth all the time consumed. More important even than having people admire your children is the sense of grooming, poise and well being that is being developed in your youngsters as you choose clothes for them which meet that standard of fashion rightness. TTufe, you don’t have to worry about hemlines oti little girl’s dress es as about your own, or about the extent of the cuff on a little boy’s trousers as your husband is con cerned about his, but still there’s a certain amount of fashion which needs consideration. Certain styles may be better on your little girl than others, for they do have small individual figure problems. Then, too, colors can be as important to them as they are to adults. Some do more for them than others, as you can easily find out just by trying on a few things. Your little boy and girl can prob ably look just as adorable as some you’ve seen pictured even though their clothes budget is limited and mother does the sewing. Tasteful selection of colors and fabrics and Children develop grooming sense . . . proper styling are the keys to cloth ing children attractivly. An armload of cheap fabrics that fade and thin with each laundering, skimpy styles or too large clothes and hit-and-miss sewing without re gard to what’s good on the tot will do nothing more than cover him. Good fabrics chosen with a keen eye as to what’s right in style and color, sewed with care will make of the youngsters angels even when they’re not! If yoii start early to instill an ap preciation of quality, workmanship and styling in your youngsters, you’ll have given them qualities hard to duplicate. Take Tips From Top Designers Any mother who sews for her children would do well to copy some with well styled clothes. of the trade tricks to top children’s designers. For one thing, good qual ity dresses, trousers and other ar ticles of clothing are never skimpy. You’ll find skirt fullness because designers take tthe required two widths to make them perky. Deep hems are employed because they The beautiful simplicity of the necklines of the new wool dresses and the smartness of the many new types of upstand ing collars combine to give a perfect foil for ornate necklaces. Setting the pace are the long strands which are looped as yon desire. Equally good for the Jewel neckline or a collared dress is the choker, usually highlighted with a pendant or pln-like cluster. Earrings and pins repeat the motifs as de sired. Typical examples are sketched, the choker of jade and pearl, with a pendant of jade, coral, pearl and rhine stones on gold filigree. The long necklace has opals with pearls, rhlnestonoa and a touch of green. For Rough Wear This young gentleman is well dressed for school or play in his smart two-button jacket made of an all-rayon worsted type fabric. The fabric, woven from Avisco yarns, is color-fast and completely washable, and will withstand all sorts of rough and tumble wear. There’s a liberal sleeve and seam allow ance to let the clothing grow with the boy. make skirts fluff out, not because you will want material for lengthen ing. Collars should be appropriately narrow, and tiny, well puffed sleeves are essential for chic. In boy’s clothing, the trend is to simu late daddy and big brother as much as possible with good tailoring. Pants are full enough to drape or to have well pressed pleats. Shirts are sewed carefully so they can look tailored and correct in even small details. It’s discouraging to see children outgrowing clothes so rapidly, and for this reason many mothers like to make clothing a bit on the large side so the youngster can grow into it. There’s no better way to start an inferiority complex in the young than to have them improperly fitted. Whether they tell you or not, they are aware of how people look at them, and how their friends react to their clothes. Clothes often lose their style be cause they are practical, and it’s far more satisfying to have them fun to wear and be admired, than to shy away from putting them on. It’s easier to spend the few extra hours doing more sewing than to undo damage to the spirit. It’s better, too, to have a few carefully sewed clothes than a closet full of hastily thrown together garments. The latter never wash well, they’re in constant need of mending, and the style is impaired unless proper sewing techniques are used. Select Fabrics, Fasteners For Washing Ease New designs and colors are avail able in fabrics every season, but there is little change In actual fabrics to use for children’s cloth ing. Novelty fabrics are for adults, be they men or women, but the more conservative materials look better on the youngsters. For play clothes, select the sturdy materials which wash easily, and are sunfast: corduroy, broadcloth, duck, denim, gingham, poplin, per cale, calico, rayon, seersucker and cotton gabardine. In dress clothes, linen, chambray, pique, dotted swiss, organdie, sheer cottorft, fine lawn a d muslin may be employed. Although some textured mate rials, such as corduroy, are favored for play clothes, the smooth fabrics are much more popular for dress. The smooth surfaces mean easy ironing and less opportunity for picking up dirt while being worn. All fabrics chosen should be sturdy enough to hold buttons, fasteners and such essentials. Don’t be afraid to experiment on the different types of fasteners being shown even though you may never have seen them used on tot’s clothing. Zippers are now coming out on little girl skirts and boy’s pants. Elastic is used for waistbands on some over alls or slacks even for the two and three year olds. Hammered-on snaps are very popular for clothing of this type be cause the children can dress them selves with ease and thus develop self sufficiency early. Then, too. they save mother a lot of time in button hole making and button sew ing since they’re of a more durable nature. Most children love pockets, and frequently they add much to the style of the clothing, so don’t elim inate them because of the extra tailoring needed. If nothing else, it teaches them the handkerchief habit! Choose patterns for youngsters af carefully as you do your own. Meas urements are, of course, different, but they are important for choosing the -size which fits. Chest, waist and length measurements are most fre quently used, and you should have these 6n hand before buying. SCRIPTURE: Isaiah 1:21-28; 10; 13; 19*19-25* 31 DEVOTIONAL. READING: Psalm »: 1-11. God and Nations Lesson for October 16, 1949 W HEN the Spanish fleet was about to invade England, back in Queen Elizabeth’s time, nothing the English had could stop them. But when the Armada arrived, that vast fleet had been blown to bits by a storm, and the English neatly mopped up what was left. How do you account for that? The English always said God was with them. When the Nazis had overrun France In 1940, It would have been Dr. Foreman simple for them to invade England. There was next to nothing to stop them. But Hitler delayed from summer till fall . . . and by that time the British were able to mount an invincible de fence. How do you account for that? Over and over again in his tory the unexpected, the unexpect- able, the "miraculous,” has hap pened. Some call it chance; but others call it God. \ • • • God In History B UT GOD does not always or usually operate in spectacular ways. God works in history as he works in nature, out of sight, visi ble to the eye of faith but seldom if ever otherwise. History, from the Christian point of view, is the work ing-out of the purposes of God. The pattern is not entirely clear to us, because we cannot see enough of it at once. But looking back through history, we can see signs that God has been there. This is the message of the prophets of Israel, es pecially of the great Isaiah. In a troubled era, when every thing seemed to be in most com plete confusion, Isaiah gave out some clear and plain truths from God, and helped men then and now read the pattern of God’s design. ... The Life Of A Nation O NE TRUTH is that justice is a nation’s life and sin is a na tion’s death. God being the God of justice, his purpose is to set justice in the earth. God plays no favorites among nations. Any nation that lives by God’s laws, lives; the na tion that defies God has signed its own death warrant. There are no peoples who can "get by" with what they please, if what they please is not the .will of God. There are people now who do not believe that. They would say. Look at Rus sia! In Isaiah’s time there were those who would say to Isaiah: You must be wrong—look at Assyria! There is a nation that does not know God, and yet grows every year stronger and stronger. • • • God’s Ax I SAIAH has a startling answer to that objection. (Chap. 10.) As syria is a tool in God’s hand, no more. He admits that Assyria has no standard but force, she worships only sheer Power. But there are other nations, wicked ones, which God intends to punish; one of these is the nation of Israel. Assyria was destined to de stroy Israel once and for all, ’ and to damage Judah so se verely she never would recov er. All this, Isaiah says, is In God’s plan. God does not punish an evil na tion with legions of angels; he punishes it with invasions and de feats in war. Assyria was an ax in the hand of God, cutting down the rotting trees of selfish and unjust nations. • • • Return To God! • PEOPLE in Isaiah’s time were * putting their trust, just as we do nowadays, in alliances, pacts, international combinations of all kinds. Isaiah warns ominously that this will not do, by itself. Not that all alliances are bad; in chapter 19 he actually pictures Assyria, Egypt and Israel as brothers-in-arms. But he docs not hold out any political scheme or combina tion as the best hope of a na tion. Return to God! is the prophet’s call. So in our time, whether it be a general Mac- Arthur or a theologian Brun ner. , Many of our ablest men are warning us even now, that humani ty is facing an alternative; Either go on the way of selfishness and war down to destruction, or else go back to the Source of justice, truth and love, the God in whom alone is salvation.
