AN UNPRECEDENT ^ ED vogue for lace is recorded this summer. No longer is lace con sidered from the luxury and esthetic viewpoint only. Lace has become a tremendously practi WOA ACIClUi ill U1C ICctlUl of apparel wearable for all occa sions. Lace has come into its own in a big way, so much so that de signers are thinking in terms of lace as they never thought before. So lace-conscious hav.p we be come, women of keen judgment are acquiring entire wardrobes that K are for the most part fashioned of lace. This is especially true with those who travel, for, put to the test, lace stands up under the stress and strain of packing and unpacking, in fact of serving for general wear as well as any other fabric. Of course, there are laces and laces and it behooves the wom an who would be well-dressed to choose the right lace for the right occasion. You can get laces that you can scarcely identify as lace, so fabric like is their mesh. They tailor as perfectly as cloth and carry a so phisticated air about them. As for service, you’ll be delighted with their practical wearableness. Then there are the handsome, washable cotton and linen laces that tailor so smartly in simple daytime dresses you will be wanting above all else at least one of these practical gowns. Perhaps we would be bet ter expressing the idea to insist that you invest in several. They will carry you through most any so cial crisis. So far we have been talking of lace from the practical standpoint. DWhen it comes to reviewing the tri umphs of lace from the esthetic side of the question we think the lovely evening ensemble to the right in the illustration tells the story more eloquently than any word-pic ture could do. This exquisite ere ation is of bottle green Chantilly lace, so delicately meshed it is like filmiest cobweb structure. A water green foundation with bands of crepe in rainbow colorings at the hem and bodice top of this slip re flect the spirit of joyous summer. The evening veil which has become a favorite headdress for formal oc casion is of bottle green net with appliqued motifs of the lace. A lace dinner and evening dress, such as is centered in the group, is almost indispensable in any wom an’s wardrobe. The short rounded bolero of matching lace, the full short sleeves as well as the easy fullness of the skirt are all features that make this dress distinctive and correct for both dinner and danc ing. It comes in delectable colors in a new pattern of angel skin lace. You will be wanting an afternoon dress of lace. A very apt model is shown to the left. Pale blue Chan tilly lace fashions it. Its styling gives a particularly interesting in terpretation of the draped bodice treatment that terminates in a wide molded corselet-girdle line. The hat is a Toya straw. Lace costume suits, especially in jacket types, in navy, dusty pink, or various blues are outselling other sheer media this season. The jacket may go to extremes, varying from bolero to full length coat, but a jacket there must be with every dress for practical daytime wear. In many instances the lace jacket suit is enhanced with ribbon-bound edges. Frog fastenings made of tubular ribbon cording add a touch of distinction.

FASHION DECLARES FOR WHITE SUMMER By CHERIE NICHOLAS We grant that white is always a summer favorite, but this summer fashion is playing it up in a highly dramatic manner. Costumes are described in the fashion story as “white as snow” or of icy whiteness or white as fleecy summer clouds and so on. You appreciate the stupendous accent on white in fash ionable gatherings where “white as a swan” capes and jackets; and boleros of marabou, fur or ostrich are the favored wraps, and where evening gowns float about in bil lowy masses of white net or chiffon or that which is late style—the pen cil-slim draped dress of snow-white rayon jersey draped sculpturs-like. Then there are the new white taf feta frocks, “beauties,” that they are. For day there are numberless man-tailored suits of sharkskin and other fascinating wash whites, while the afternoon dresses of white rayon jersey compete in endless parade. White lingerie has come in and is the wanted kind at present. And as for accessory whites, footwear, gloves, bags and details too numer ous to mention make their bow on the fashion stage in pure white. Top a Print Frock With Silk Coat in Monotone Well-dressed women find appeal in the uew summer costumes that top the print frock with a silk coat in monotone that repeats the lead ing color of the print. For instance wear with a brown beige and rose print dress, either a jacket or full length coat of brown silk crepe. Or a red-on-white silk print dress adds a bolero of red silk and there are red ribbon bow trims oa the frock. UNIFORM^iNTERNATIQNAL SUNDAY I chool Lesson By HAROLD'L. LUNDQUIST, D. D. DeanolTh* Moody Blbl. InitituU cl Chicago. Q Waatfn Newipapar Union, Lesson for July 31 SAMSON: STRENGTH AND WEAKNESS LESSON TEXT—Judge* 14:5, 8; 15:1M4; 18Go5)EN TEXT—Be (trong In the Lord, and In the power of hi* might.—Ephesian* 6:10. PRIMARY TOPIC—A Man Who Waited HI* Strength. _ _ JUNIOR TOPIC—How Strong Wa* Sara ^INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC— WYOUNGtrpEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC— Physical Strength and Moral Weakne**. There is no more tragic individual among the sons of men than the one who entered upon life with every promise of success, who has lived for a time in favor with God and with man, and then because of moral failure is set aside by God, shunned by man, and ends life as a disappointment and a failure. “And yet such disastrous climaxes of • what should have been great and victorious careers lie all about us, and nowhere with such frequency and inexcusableness as among those whom God has called to preach, evangelize, and teach His Word. The saddest tragedy in all the world is a man who once knew the power of the Holy Spirit and who now walks the streets of some great city or is buried in the cottage of an unknowi countryside, without power, without work, without joy, without the lead ing of the Lord. He knows a weari ness that labor never gives, for he wakens every morning more tired and weary than when he went to sleep the night before" (Wilbur M. Smith). The life story of Samson brings us the picture of God’s patient and gracious dealing with such a failure, reveals the inexorable law of cause and effect in the moral realm as well as the certainty that the wages of sin not repented of and forsaken is death. I. Physical Strength and Favor With God (15:5, 6). Samson had the distinction (given to only one other Old^ Testament character) of having his birth an nounced beforehand. He was to be a Nazarite and was to “begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistine’’—a commission which sin kept him from ever finishing. God gave him the marvelous herit age of a strong and healthy body as well as His own blessing upon him for carrying out the Lord’s work. The fact that he is named among the heroes of faith in He brews indicates that he did have faith in God. Yet his life was a failure. Samson would have been a great favorite in this athletic age. Let those who worship the body and glorify physical prowess take note that such strength is not sufficient to guarantee success in life, and may indeed be a source of tempta tion which may lead to spiritual and moral downfall. Those who live for the flesh “shall of the flesh reap corruption” (Gal. 6:8). II. Moral Weakness and Spiritual Decay (15:11-14). me portion ot tne lesson seiectea for our consideration from Judges 15 gives only an act of prowess on the part of Samson, but the reader will recognize it as one of the many deeds of Samson done as an ex pressiop of his uncontrolled sensual nature. Read the entire chapter and it will be evident that here is a man who, while occasionally re sponding to God’s leading, is on the downward path of moral and spir itual decadence. Scripture is absolutely honest in relating the facts as they are—and here it is not at all an attractive pic ture. It never is, although the world tries to make it appear to be. A learned audience of university people laughed with evident appre ciation at the statement of a pro fessor that “vice is always more interesting than virtue,” little real izing that they thus bore testimony to their own attitude toward sin. If the liquor advertisements were honest enough to picture the agony of a drunkard dying of delirium tremens they would present the real truth, but they would sell no “booze.” III. Failure, Darkness, and Death (16:15-21). Delilah finally betrayed the foolish Samson who apparently had become so sure of himself that he dared to venture anything. The man who was to be strong for God is now in prison, shorn of his strength, blinded by his -enemies, and finally he kills himself even as he slays his enemies (16:23-31). Thus he threw away the life that had become to him but a burden and a disgrace. “Thus he who began never com pleted his work. The column was broken in the middle. The atory ends with a comma and a dash, blis tered over by a tear. For the light is turned into darkness, and how great is the darkness” (J. M. Lang).' Now# Power Can Defeat God Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wick ed, when it-cometh. For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and ahall keep thy foot from being taken.— Prov. 3:25,26. Gay Prints for Home Fro /'"VNE is for young figures, one for mature.

RUTH WYETH VwJJ—✓ VV J SPEARS P* WAS a great day on an up state New York farm more than a half century ago. The big gest pumpkins, the finest apples and the sleekest live stock were being loaded to take to the Fair. Grandmother ahnounced that she was taking her silk crazy patch work quilt. The family disap proved. The quilt glowed with the richest taffetas and satins of “best” dresses of those they knew and loved. All that winter the red ribbons and blue ribbons, won by prize pumpkins and apples and farm animals adorned the mantel shelf. But Grandmother, placidly stitching away in her rocking chair, had tucked away in the pocket of her voluminous skirt, the only cash prize that anyone brought home from the Fair. Her crazy patch quilt is still a thing of beauty and a center of interest. It is perfectly at home in a mod em living room today. Here is a comer of it and the leaflet offered below tells you just how to make this kind of quilt and gives de tailed instructions for dozens of stitches and combinations of stitches tc be used for embroider-, ing crazy patchwork.
