Suits of Glamorous Wools
Are Top Fashion for Spring

AN UP-TO-DATE wardrobe with- \
out a chic new suit? It just j
isn’t being done nowadays. All i
fashiondom has gone wildly, deliri
ously suit-mad this spring—which is
your cue as to “what to wear” at
this immediate moment.
The fact that fashion is in a mood
to suit you as you have never been
suited before should count a lot in
your planning this spring. The
thing that plays big in the glorifica
tion of the new suits is the superbly
colorful and intriguingly textured
wool fabrics that challenge design
ers to turn out a pageantry of suits
that in the matter of variety and
chic and charm outrivals all pre
vious showings so far as we of the
present generation are concerned.
The new tweeds are captivating,
especially the soft coarse meshy
kind that are so eminently patrician
in their now-so-stylish neutral oat
meal tones, and in the smart honey
beige or in subtle grays that so
appeal to discriminating taste.
Some of these natural toned tweeds
are flecked with multi-color which
makes them even more alluring. It’s
a stroke of genius to buy a new
threesome ensemble which includes
a skirt, jacket and long topcoat for
this many-piece interchangeable
combination, together with a collec
tion of blouses, measures up to
clothes requirements for almost any
daytime event. Then, too, later on
the coat can be worn as a wrap
over dainty summer frocks.
We are illustrating just such a
threesome (see the figure seated).
This outfit is beautifully tailored of
an imported tweed in soft heather
mixture. It has a straight skirt and
unusual shoulder detail. The shoul
ders and lapels of the topcoat dupli
cate those of the suit. The suit
jacket is a one button type. The
sailor hat is in a deep purple veiled
to bespeak the femininity of the
present mode.
Veils and Veiling
Are Omnipresent
Veils and veiling are that omni
present in the millinery mode the
eyes have to sight through yards and
yards of veiling to discover the hat
itself. To radiate the spirit of spring
try tying a bright green veil over
your new black or navy straw. Green
veils are the “last word in chic.”
It’s the proper thing to match the
color of your veil to your gloves and
other accessories. You will like the
new hats made all of veiling. They
are appealingly feminine and in
their exquisite colorings they tune
to spring most charmingly. The all
veiling hat (most often a little
sailor) is made of twisted strands of
the veiling or layer upon layer. To
add allure there are long streamer
ends of the veiling to tie and twirl
with provocative grace.
Navy Vogue Steps
To Fashion Front
Contrasting the flamboyant plaids
and stripes and gay prints now so
rnuch jn vogue is the navy vogue
which has stepped to the front. Suits
with cunningly devised jackets,
dresses with accompanying boleros
and coats galore are neatly tailored
of navy wools. The accessories may
be either very colorful or follow the
trend that calls for lingerie touches
m immaculate white.
Object of Admiration
Resort visitors are telling their
admiration for the rough straw
Bailor with a high perky bow of
t-Rfeta on Us uptilted brim.

As to the new plaids, stripes and
checks they play havoc with any
tradition that a suit or coat is sup
posed to be modest and conserva
tive.
Suits of checked, striped or plaid
ed woolens have revolutionized the
mode in that they are a far de
parture from the classic navy or
black monotones of yore. The fact
that the plaid skirts are pleated also
gives them the spring “look.” See
the nifty plaid suit to the right in
the illustration. It typifies the new
trend perfectly. It is of imported
tweed in soft yellow with crossbar
of brown (smart color combination
this season). The pleated skirt
stamps this suit with unmistakable
chic. The pleats are stitched down
around the hips for smooth slender
izing line. The single-breasted jack
et observes every rule of the game
in matter of swank detail. Brown
suede sports hat with a wide scoop
brim and brown alligator bag be
speak utmost chic.
As to the fetching little dressmak
er jacket suit it is with us in such
numbers it would take an alert mind
to keep tally of the number that
pass a given moment at a given
point, for the jacket suit is omni
present in the style parade. The
new jacket twosomes play up color
combinations in amazing variations.
Black wool crepe for the skirt
topped with jacket in pale yellow
with black piping describes the
goodlooking model centered in the
group. New details are the softly
rolled collar, high pockets and out
side tucks around the waist. A wide
brimmed Breton sailor with a quill
across the crown is jaunty and very
flattering to the wearer.

Of Silk Shirting
It’s your play! And why not play
in a sports dress of purple silk
shirting striped in white, with self
color simulated reptile belt, as here
pictured? Speaking of silk for sports
frocks, here’s another suggestion. If
you select a dress of dull-surfaced
nubby silk noil, in the new olive
green and off-white color, you will
be all set. Complement this with a
separate lumber jacket top.

PAUL PREACHES THE
RISEN CHRIST
LESSON TEXT—Acts 18:18. 23-31. 38-39;
I Corinthians 15:19-22.
GOLDEN TEXT—But now Is Christ risen
from the dead, and become the firstfrults
of them that slept.—l Corinthians 15:20.
From Line immemorial man has
stood questioning at the close of life,
somehow feeling that (as Tennyson
expressed it)
Thou wilt not leave us In the dust;
Thou madest man, he knows not why;
He thinks he was not made to die;
And thou hast made him; thou art just.
But nowhere in nature was there
written the assurance that death did
not end all. In fact it was not until
Christ won His victory over death
that there was any real certainty
that there was life beyond the
grave.
Christianity is the only faith that
rests upon the resurrection of its
founder. Other religions point with
pride to the monuments at the
graves of their founders. Christi
anity alone presents an empty tomb.
Since only God can give life and
Jesus by His own power raised Him
self from the dead, we have the
right to the glorious claim that
Christianity is the one true faith—
a victorious living faith.
Resurrection truth
I. Makes the Preacher Bold (v.
16).
Barnabas and Paul had been set
apart by the Holy Spirit and by the
Church for missionary work, and on
their first journey had reached Anti
och in Pisidia. In the synagogue on
the Sabbath day they were asked to
speak to the people. Paul arose in
holy boldness and called upon them
to hearken to him. What is the im
portant message which gives this
preacher such assurance? The res
urrection of Jesus Christ. It is true
that the sermon he gives presents
much other information as it log
ically and tactfully leads up to its
high point, but that point is the
resurrection and the redemption
which it assures.
11. Makes the Gospel Clear (vv.
23-31, 38, 39).
Reviewing Israel’s history, Paul
declares that of the seed of David
God had “according to his promise
raised unto Israel a Saviour,
Jesus,” but that they slew Him.
Now, if that were the end, we would
indeed be “of all men most mis
erable” (I Cor. 15:19). Our hopes of
salvation, with Israel’s hopes, were
bound up in Christ. But a dead
Christ could save no one, not even
Himself. We must have a living
Christ. Had Paul’s message stopped
there it would have been a hollow
mockery. But wait, what is it we
read? “God raised him from the
dead” (v. 30). Blessed truth! Glo
rious foundation for the proclama
tion of the gospel so aptly epito
mized in the words of verses 38 and
39. Now it is clear that we have a
victorious, living Saviour and a gos
pel to preach that is the “power of
God unto salvation to everyone that
believeth” (Rom. 1:16).
111. Makes the Future Certain (I
Cor. 15:19-22).
Man comes to the years of matur
ity and suddenly faces the shocking
fact that the life to which he gives
so much, for which he labors and
sacrifices, is but for a brief span of
years, perhaps at the most “three
score years and ten, and if by rea
son of strength they be fourscore
years, yet is their strength labor
and sorrow” (Ps. 90:10). He sees
that friends and loved ones must
part at the grave. Is this the end?
The answer to that question comes
to us today from the empty tomb in
the garden through the words of
Paul. Listen to their majesty—re
joice in their beauty and assurance:
“But now is Christ risen from the
dead.” Hallelujah! And that’s not
all, He has “become the first fruits
of them that slept” (v. 20), which
means that all those who are asleep
in Jesus will be brought forth in
due season.
The resurrection of Jesus trans
formed the grave (as a friend of
mine expresses it) from a dark hole
in the ground where hope ends, to a
highway, going down, it is true,
through the valley of the shadow,
but lighted by the victory of Jesus
over death, and bordered on both
sides by Easter lilies. Thus is
“brought to pass the saying that is
written, Death is swallowed up in
victory”—a victory that makes us
“steadfast, unmoveable, always
abounding in the work of the Lord”
(I Cor. 15:54, 58). It is Easter. Christ
is risen! Let us rejoice!
God’s Garden
God Almighty first planted a gar
den; and indeed it is the purest of
human pleasures. It is the greatest
refreshment to the spirits of man,
without which buildings and palaces
are but gross handiworks; and a
man shall ever see that, when ages
grow to civility and elegancy men
come to built stately sooner than to
garden finely, as if gardening were
the greater perfection. Francis
Bacon.

Embroidery by Mary Ann, age nine.
IytARY ANN was named for her
grandmother, who at the age
of nine, made an elaborate sam
pler of embroidery stitches. Ev
eryone thought it would be nice if
the modern Mary Ann could also
do a bit of hand work to be framed
and kept. We here report, thanks
to a series of rainy afternoons,
this was actually accomplished.
Mary Ann’s mother started the
project with a rather large piece
of blue gingham; a pair of em
broidery hoops and some odds and
ends of bright six strand mercer
ized embroidery thread. Outlines
for flower designs were made by
drawing around coins and the flow
ers were embroidered as shown
here. Stems were done in outline
stitch and leaves in groups of
straight stitches.
From the many attempts on that
piece of gingham, two flower
npHE full-sleeved, high-waisted
dress (1721) is a perfectly
charming fashion for afternoon
parties, club meetings and lunch
eons. It does nice things to your
figure, because the bodice is gath
ered into just enough fullness, and
the high waistline makes you look
slimmer around the middle and
over the diaphragm. Make it of
silk crepe, georgette, prints or
chiffon.
Here’s a simple little pattern
(1670) that brings you one of the

and charm as the modem Mary
Ann, age nine. These were neatly

stitches with many sketches show
