Blue Denim Stylish for Sportswear
Bjr CHERIE NICHOLAS
t-IERE'S big news! It's all about
*■ denim, just plain ordinary,
sturdy blue denim. Believe it or
not, after all these years that blue
denim has been associated in our
minds as a mundane material de
voted for the most part to the mak
ing of men’s workaday overalls, we
awake to the astonishing realization
that this sturdy fabric has, in this
3ummer season, gone style-high for
women’s wear. Just how Dame
Fashion could have been so blind
these decades past a3 to fail to rec
ognize the style possibilities of den
im as a medium for ladies’ apparel
will forever remain a mystery.
However, the fact remains denim
has unmistakably come into its own
in the feminine realm, not only for
the making of play clothes, but de
signers are turning out the smart
est-ever suits meticulously tailored
of this never-wear-out attractive
weave. In consequence of which we
now see clever little classic jacket
and-skirt tailleurs of blue denim
worn by women who register among
the best dressed. These suits are
stunning worn with a white pique
blouse or a dainty, frilly white lin
gerie type, with accessories in
white. Equally attractive are these
suits with accents of bright color
such as a Roman striped blouse
with striped sandals and hand-bag
to match. Scarlet or bright yellow
buttons, belt and gloves is another
way of doing it. The tailored linen
blouse in vivid color also goes well
with an outfit that is made of denim.
A two-piece dress (shirt and skirt)
of denim, as illustrated to the left
in the group, will not only give un
told service but it stands for style
personified in the sports clothes
realm. Every line and detail of this
outfit reflects exquisite standards of
tailoring plus perfection of fit and
finishing touches.
Ship ahoy! See the lovely recruit
fbr the sailor’s life centered in the
picture. All togged out is this mid
summer siren in sturdy denims that
never lose an item of perfection no
matter how many the big waves
that wash over them—old demon
shrinkage doesn’t have a chance.
And what a wealth of style these
sturdy denim togs do pack.
Even if the girl pictured to the
right took an unexpected dive into
the sea she need not be concerned
about her outfit, for neither salt
spray nor suds will make the sturdy
fabric shrink. Note the ndutical
symbols, the pipings, braidings, all
smart details of this grand garment
that promises to remain true “for
better or worse’’ wear.
By way of offering a few extra
suggestions for the styling of denim
we don’t mind telling you that a
bolero dress of denim will prove a
positive treasure in your outing or
vacation wardrobe. You vary the
blouse to suit the occasion and it’s
“on again, off again” to suit the
changing temperature, so far as the
cunning bolero is concerned.
The idea of denim for children’s
play suits, dresses and other ap
parel should prove most inspiration
al to mothers.

CROCHET COLLARS
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
■jumiuiiini 11 111
A spic-and-span collar to give new
life to your favorite dress is always
a welcome addition in a collection
of pretty accessories. If hand-cro
cheted so much the better tor a bit
of handiwork always adds an ex
clusive touch to a costume. The
collar pictured at the top is cro
cheted of lightweight mercerized
cotton and embroidered in contrast
color The other collar is also hand
r crocheted of light mercerized cot
' ton It is trimmed with a border of
contrasting color to match the draw
string of twisted cotton strands clev
erly brought through open spaces
in the crochet.
Pockets Go Down
Pockets on beach togs have been
lowered and lowered until now they
have reached the knee.
SUMMER FURS TAKE
STYLE SPOTLIGHT
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
Fur in summertime is just one of
the charming incongruities that
makes fashion an ever-abiding
source of interest and enthusiasm.
If you would keep pace with the
mode you must acquire a white er
mine bolero or a cape of pointed fox
for this summer. When fall comes
you will be wanting one of the new
hip-length jackets in brown fur, ad
vance models of which have already
arrived. White marabou or ostrich
neckpieces, boleros and capes are
also proving of immediate interest.
Bed Capes Used as Evening
Wraps Over Summer Frocks
Recently some very cunning
breakfast-in-bed capes have been
brought out that are crocheted with
tiers of little ruffles from neck to
hemline. They are too lovely to
be secluded in the boudoir, at least
that is evidently the thought of
young and daring daughters of the
household who conceived the idea
of appropriating these delectable
capes for wear as evening wraps
over their summer frocks, and from
all reports the idea is working out
to perfection.
‘Forest Green' New Color
For Girl Scout Uniforms
Forest green is the shade chosen
for the new costume to be adopted
by the 450,000 Girl Scouts through
out America. The dresse* are in
one piece, made on princess lines
with a flared skirt, and short, slight
ly puffed sleeves. They are belted
at the waist and zipped up the front
to a close, rolled collar.
Boleros Popular
Boleros become increasingly im
portant for summer fashions. They
are worn equally often with eve
ning clothes and informal daytime
dresses, and they are made of ev
erything from velvet to organdie.
Fall Tweeds Stress Color
High style tweeds which will ap
pear soon for the fall market have
wine-purple-green-pink blended to
gether in stripe or in tile patterns.
Blues are especially stressed.

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—
How the Vte of Liquor Aflecta Character.
YOUNG PEOPIjE AND ADULT TOPIC—
How the Use of Liquor Affect* Character.
Childhood remembrances are
commonly sweet and preciou*—but
some of them are vivid on the pages
of memory because they relate to
dangerous and distressing things.
Among-, the things decent people
avoided like the pestilence when the
writer was a boy was the saloon.
To be seen entering such places was
to mark one's character, and to be a
frequenter of them was to be lost to
all that was good and holy.
High sounding and very pious
were the assurances that when pro
hibition was repealed we would nev
er see the return of the saloon, but
we have them in multiplied num
ber, and with a shameless appeal
to women as well as men, to our
growing girls and boys as well as
to adults. Clever advertising has
sought to make it "smart” to drink,
and "manly” to be able to “carry”
liquor. It is for that reason that it
is of the utmost importance that we
develop strong and intelligent char
acter in our boys and girls—so that
they may not only appraise the
vicious “booze business” for what
it really is, but also have the
strength of character to fight it, not
only for themselves, but for their
weaker brother. They should know
and proclaim that the saloon,
whether it be called an “inn" or
a "tavern,” is always a “bar"—
"A bar to Heaven, a door to Hell;
Whoever named it named it well.”
I. Developing siren gin oi unarac
ter (Prov. 4:10-23).
Solomon, the writer of many of
the Proverbs, constantly stressed
the importance of gaining wisdom.
A man may be a perfect encyclo
pedia of information and yet may
lack the wisdom to apply that
knowledge to life. Dr. Hight C.
Moore, in Points for Emphasis, pro
vides a most helpful outline of this
portion of Proverbs 4, which will
assist the reader and teacher. He
suggests that we must (1) “accept
the challenge of a worthy goal, v.
10,” by listening as a son to a father
to the words which shall give us a
long and happy life. Then we
must (2) “follow the way of wis
dom, w. 11-13.” It is a way that
has been tested by those who have
preceded us, and they have found it
to be the right way. This will en
able us to (3) "avoid the way of
the wicked, vv. 14-17.” Note the
dreadful picture of those who not
only do wickedness but delight in
leading others into their evil paths,
in fact they cannot sleep unless
they have misled some poor soul.
Shun that path, and (4) “irradiate
the path to the larger life, w. 18,
19.” The way to life is a light path
“that shineth more and more.” The
way of the wicked is stumbling and
darkness. The devil and his fol
lowers are trying to make young
people believe just the opposite.
Let us teach them the truth that
they may (5) “heed every syllable
of all the words of God, w. 20-23.”
Give attention to God’s Word, lis
ten to it, read it, keep it hidden
in your heart. The heart in Scrip
ture stands for the very center of
man’s spiritual being, out of which
are all the issues of life. Evil
thoughts, unholy desires and ambi
tions hidden there will ultimately
be revealed in overt acts of ungod
liness. Even so the Word of God
hidden there will bring forth life in
all its abundant beauty and
strength.
The young man or woman who is
thus taught God’s Word in the home
and the church will have an im
pregnable defense against the wiles
and temptations of the world, the
flesh, and the devil.
II. Exhibiting Strength oi Char
acter (I Thess. 5:6-8).
The Lord is coming again! Paul
was constantly looking forward to
the day of His coming. It wai not
his lot to live until the Lord came,
but he was not mistaken in looking
for Him. The Lord has tarried,
why only He knows, but it is the
judgment of many excellent Bible
expositors that the next great event
to take place in divine history is
His return. What a glorious hope!
But while we await His coming
we are not to sleep as those round
about us. Watchfulness, sobriety of
life, these become the Christian. Cer
tainly nothing of the drunkenness
of our day is to enter into tha life
of the Christian. He who be
longs to Christ does not drink
of the devil’s “fire-water.” But far
more than that is in mind here, for
the Christian is to go on in faith,
love, and hope until he becomes
“on fire” for God, burning with the
passion of the Holy Spirit, not only
for his own life, but for the salva
tion of the lost and for the develop
ment of true Christian character in
those who have taken upon them
selves the beautiful name of “Chris
tian.”

Well Known Food Authority Describes Their
Place in the DM
By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS
% • lot 38th Streat. Knc York City.
TO ME, there is no more inspiring sight in the world than
a field of nodding golden grain. It not only pleases the
eye with its grace and profound beauty, but it attests to
Nature’s bounty. For down through the ages, grains have
sustained and comforted man.
In every quarter of the globe, foods made from grain
constitute the largest single item in the food supply. This
is as n snouta De, ior no omer
foodstuff affords such a rich
store of fuel value at such
little cost. It has been estimated
that during one day's labor, an
American farmer, growing wheat
by up-to^late American methods,
can produce enough protein and
calories to sustain a man for a
year.
A Source of Power and Pep
Every nation depends upon
some form of cereal to furnish
motive power tor
the body machin
ery — to provide
necessary energy
to keep body and
brain functioning
efficiently. In the
Western world,
wheat is supreme.
But in Oriental
countries, rice
takes the lead and
it is the chief arti

tie U1 1UUU lUi uau
of the world’s people. Rye, oats,
barley, maize and buckwheat are
likewise important crops.
Energy Values Compared
All uncooked cereal foods show
great similarity in their chemical
composition and therefore have
very nearly the same energy val
ue—that is about 1,650 calories per
pound. The weight of a 100-cal
orie portion i3 about an ounce. But
there is a wide variation in bulk,
depending upon the degree to
which the cereal has been refined.
For example, three tablespoeas of
patent wheat floor weigh one
ounce; one and one-fourth cup* of
a puffed wheat cereal likewise
weigh one ounce. After cooking,
there is a big variation in weight,
as well as measure, owing to the
varying amounts of water ab
sorbed. Thus a cup of cooked oat
meal mush supplies the same
number of calories as three table
spoons of a pebbly dry cereal with
a nut-like taste.

tifatori have estimated that grata
products contribute M per cent of
the total calories and 37 per cent
of the protein in the typleal Amer
ican dietary.
Laboratory experiments indi
cate that the proteins of wheat,
oats, maize, rye and barley are
about equally efficient in promot
ing and supporting growth. None of
them compares with an equivalent
weight of the complete proteins of
milk, eggs or meat, but when com
bined with small amounts of milk,
the cereal proteins become highly
efficient.
Iron and Coppor
The mineral elements of grains
are concentrated largely in the
outer layers and in the germ. For
this reason, there is considerable
difference in the yield of minerals
from whole grain and highly re
fined cereal foods. '
The mineral content of bran Is
from 10 to 20 times greater than
that of patent flour, and whole
wheat contains from three to At#
times as much Iron, calcium and
phosphorus. Bran, oatmeal and
whole grain cereals are a good
source of copper as well as iron.
—*■—
Rich In Vitamin B
The different cereal grains are
quite similar in their vitamin val
ues, but as the vitamins are very
unevenly distributed throughout
the kernel, there is a wide varia
tion in vitamin content between
the whole grain and refined cereal
foods.
All seeds, including whole
grains, are relatively poor in vita
min A. They are entirely lacking
in vitamins C and D and contain
only small amounts of vitamin G.
Both the germ and bran, how
ever, are excellent sources of vi
tamin B—which promotes appe
tite, aids digestion and helps to
prevent a nervous disorder. The
importance of the germ as a food
has been more folly appreciated
since it was discovered that it is
at least five times as rich in vita
min B as the whole grain or bran.
There are several cereals on the
market containing added wheat
germ and this precious substance
may also be obtained in concen
trated form.
Laxative Value oi Cereals
The whole grain cereals contain
an abundance of bulk or cellulose
and are therefore a valuable aid
in promoting normal elimination.
Individuals differ in their require;
ment for foods having a laxative
effect, and in some cases one must
be guided by personal experience.
But inasmuch as the whole grain
products furnish the body with
larger amounts of minerals and
vitamins B and G, a good general
rule is to consume at least half
of one’s bread and other cereal
foods in the whole grain form.

flned, bat as they contala larger
antnti ot protein, it is estimated
that the amount of protein agent
ed and absorbed from an ognal
weight of entire wheat or patent
floors is practically the same.
Thus when the two types of flours
arc considered as sources of pro
tein and energy alone, they are re
garded by nutritionists as substan
tially equivalent and inter
changeable.
Many Forms of Cereal Foods
From infancy to old age, the ce
real foods should, and usually do
constitute the mainstay of the
diet. Fortunately, there is such a
wide variety from which to choose
that there is little likelihood of mo
notony. Furthermore, because of
their bland flavor, one does not
readily tire of cereal foods.
In addition to the wide variety
of breads, rolls, muffins, biscuits
and griddle cakes that can be
made from refined and whole
grain flours, there are an aston
ishing number of cooked and un
cooked cereals from which to
choose. When served with milk,
bread or cereals make an ideal
and economical food combination^
Macaroni for a Main Dish
Besides serving as the main fee*
ture at breakfast and for the
child’s supper, cereal foods are
useful as the chief attraction at
dinner or supper when served in
the form of macaroni, spaghetti
or egg noodles. They are a fine
source of energy and also furnish
about 12 per cent protein. When
combined with cheese, which adds
protein, minerals and vitamins,
they constitute a balanced main
dish.
Cereal products of all kinds de
serve a ranking place among
FOODS THAT KEEP US FIT.
