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.

Decidedly on t.he square is the
formula that newer bags follow, and
as to size many of them are enor

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.

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. Both of these
dresses are smart and new in
fashion, and both are pretty
enough to wear when company
comes, as well as for working
round the house. Each has a con
venient pocket. These designs are
delightfully easy to make, even
for beginners. Each includes a
complete and detailed sew chart.
If You Wear Misses’ Sizes.
Make yourself the charming,
full-skirted dirndl-type frock with
shirring at the waistline, on the
shoulders, and on the nice big
pocket. Everything about it is
very young and attractive—espe
cially the snug basque top, square
neckline and tie belt. In a gay
print, with ricrac to match, this
will be one of your most flattering
cottons.

Reserve a Phase of Modesty
A man may dislike to be asked
to be identified. That is why he
has no enthusiasm for thumb
printing.
If you can make a good quota
tion in bolstering your opinion, it
seems to have more weight than
your own logic.
Artistic temperament believes
in itself. This accounts for its
fury when thwarted.
She's Usually Disappointed
When a man marries for money,
his wife finds out in time whether
he’s worth it or not.
If there were no “second terms”
in any American office, it might
save a lot of trouble.
A man may doubt it when he is
told he is handsome, but he will
accept it as a fact when he is
told he looks distinguished.

waist lines, with a plain, slim
hipped skirt. Fullness beneath
smooth shoulder pieces gives it
correct fit over the bust. Notice
there is a slight blouse at the
waistline, for freedom of action.
That narrow roll collar, finishing
the V-neck, is becoming to full
faces. This, too, will be pretty in
any tubfast cotton that you like,
trimmed with ricrac.

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-,
