THE COSTUME IS THE THING for spring. Red, white and blue stripes in the silk
and worsted coat (left) are highlighted with a double row of jewel buttons. A rhine
stone buckle zeros in on the stripe belt that circles a white sheath worn beneath the
coat. This is from the Nat Kaplan collection. Monte-Sano’s soft-shouldered costume
(right) consists of a single-breasted coat in Linton plaid and complements a gold wool
skimmer with a keyhole neckline.

Youth Buttons Down Truth
By BETTY CANARY
UJi. ;
vT
k *
A Pennsylvanian wrote to ask what I
thought of the “self-appointed button brigade
in the army of the Lord.” It seems his son
is wearing a button with the saying: Jesus,
Yes/Christianity, No! When told he was be
ing “irreverent and blasphemous,” the boy
told his father he should get with it. Another
button the boy had said: Down With Baal!
I have seen one printed: Go With God and,
while I haven’t made any kind of survey
among button-wearers, my general impres
sion is that the last thing they mean to be is
irreverent and blasphemous.
Actually, my favorite “religious” button
happens to be the one saying: Sanctimony Is
Its Own Reward.
Perhaps some of the kids wear these but
tons for the big reason of showing they are
with it. But I think most of them would say
the clever sayings reflect their thinking. And,
once they throw away old concepts, they
create problems. They ask embarrassing
questions like, “I’ve heard what you said on
Sunday—now, what will you do on Monday?”
They say Irritating things such as “hypoc-
vs/
DEAR POLLY — Erma’s pro
blem of her dark blue steering
wheel rubbing off on her cloth
es could be solved by covering
the wheel with cloth. These co
vers can be bought at auto sup
ply stores but are easily made
of velveteen in any desired col
or. Cut a strip long enough to
reach around the wheel and
thread elastic in the hemmed
edges. — MRS. J.H.C.
DEAR POLLY — I want to
tell Erma that I covered the
steering wheel on my car with
strips cut from an old, but still
good, terry cloth bath towel. I
measured the circumference of
the wheel, cut the strips and st
itched the raw edges under to
prevent raveling. The ends were
sewn together around the wheel
after the cover is on the wheel
so it is all completely covered.
I used a color that matches the
car interior and also find that
risy is definitely not hip.”
They ask penetrating questions and stop
going to youth meetings where all is Dulls
ville and don’t even bother to register aston
ishment when adult leaders wring hands and;
wonder why the kids won’t come to church
on Sunday night. They apparently do not be-!
lieve that goodness is grim or that joy is only
something written about in hymnals.
Leaders in the few churches doing some
thing about all this (by the novel means of
asking young people what they think should
be done) have found themselves in the posi
tion of practicing what they preach.
I can’t think of anything more exciting than
young people actively looking for truth. I
think they might agree with a Manhattan
priest, John Monahgan, who said in “A
Lenten Message” in 1961:
“The religion of Christ is not aspirin to
deaden the pain of living; it is not a discus
sion group, nor a miraculous medal nor a
piety, nor Bingo for God. It is not anything
less than a joyous adventure of being Christ
in a world still skeptical of him.”

long devotion to the work of the

terest in civic affairs in the Grif

DEAR POLLY — The finish
on my double sink is so worn
that it absorbs every stain. Or
dinary cleansers do not keep
it clean for long. Please tell me
if there is anything that I can do
to it, or can it be refinished?
Since the sink is in a metal cabi
net it would cost quite a bit to
replace. — MRS. T.W.H.
DEAR POLLY — Our baby
was given many small toys and
teething rings when he was bom.
Many were hard for him to hold
so I attached them to a piece of
clothesline and strung them ac
ross his playpen. He spends
many happy hours reaching for
them and just batting them back
and forth.
At bath time and diaper chang

needed item into the nursery. I
solved this by attaching a plas

Easter Togs for Little Miss
By HELEN HENNESSY
NEA Women's Editor
NEW YORK—(NEA)—The
feminine contingent in this
year’s Easter parade will win
its usual applause—but with
a difference. The little girls
themselves will take top bill
ing instead of their mothers
wearing the “little girl” look.
No longer does children’s
Easter finery consist of the
tried and true pink and blue
shades. Even classic styling
takes a back seat to avant
garde fashion looks. And color
has taken on new importance.
Fabrics have more diversity
and prints are works of art.
The clear brights and
frosted pastels that will turn
•up in the line of march on
Easter Sunday will rival
mom’s best efforts with the
dyed eggs in the Easter
basket. And for the sophisti
cated small-fry there are the
neutrals—brown with white
and natural with navy.
The romantic mood in this
season’s fashions filters down
to the very young in fabric
and styling.
Wispy polyester, cotton
voile, dotted Swiss and airy
embroidery turn up in fitted
shapes, belted in chains,
beads or bright patent. And
ruffles add a pretty look at
sleeves, neck or hem.
Ensembles are still in the
fashion spotlight for Easter—
coats and dresses and jacket
dresses. And there are coats
with top fit and hemline flare
Memorial Clubhouse with Mrs.
Frank Johnson, president, pre

ica’’ and repeated the ritual, pl
edge of allegiance to the flag and
salute to the Confederate flag,
led by Mrs. A. R. Turner. The
Lord’s Prayer was said in uni
son.
Mrs. O. N. Mathis introduced
David Duke, a student at Spald
ing Junior High School. He gave
two musical selections on the
piano.
Mrs. Alex Amaya was welco
med as a visitor.
A short business session was
held with reports from commit
tees given. Mrs. W. J. Proctor
reported on the district meeting
in Newnan.
A social hour was held follow
ing the meeting. Hostesses were
Mrs. W. J. Proctor, Mrs. Wal

Clyde Nichols, Mrs. C. M. Jenk
