THH ALTO HERA"' THXAS
Gay Plaids arid Stripes Add
Zest to Smart Piay Clothes
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
:* !
AN outstanding move-
ment developing in
the world of fashion dur-
ing the last several sea-
sons is the increasing at-
tention given to the styl-
ing of play clothes. It is
indeed something to reck-
on with, this matter of
being correctly outfitted in
the field of sports. This new im-
portance attached to play clothes
is proving a lively incentive to de-
signers to turn out outfits that shall
add to the picture as well as prove
practical down to the last detail.
There is no more fascinating en-
deavor that the field of costume de-
sign has to offer than this of creat-
ing play-clothes for young moderns.
It adds greatly to the pleasurable
excitement that materials these
days are produced so nearly per-
fect, not alone from the pictorial
standpoint, but that they neither
fade nor shrink in the wash, neither
do they wrinkie or prove unseemly
in the wearing. Playgrounds this
season, because of the spectacular
garb of fun-loving outdoor enthusi-
asts, burst forth in a blaze of color
that fairly dazzles the eye. And of
all the conspirators in the color
game we know of none that are so
loyally Hying cheer-inspiring color-
ings as are the fashionable-for-play
clothes plaids and stripes.
The picture shows how dramati-
cally and picturesquely color-bright
stripes and plaids are being fash-
ioned into clothes that go golfing,
tennis playing, cruising, dude-ranch-
ing and so forth wherever your wan-
derlust happens to take you this
summer.
The very attractive outfit which
you see to the right in the illustra-
tion makes one parasol-conscious at
very first glance. Which is as it
should be for one of the very most
important events on the fashion pro-
gram this summer is the come-back
of parasols. Designers of beach
clothes find big appeal in the para-
sol idea and whenever and wherever
it is consistent to do so they intro-
duce an eye-thrilling parasol. It
worked out beautifully for the outfit
pictured to add a matching para-
sol, and here you see it in all its
glory flaunting the same gay stripes
that give color to the smartly fash-
toned skirt. The fabric combination
for this costume is a very happy one
of stripe-printed celanese crepe for
the skirt and parasol with sharkskin
in monotone for the blouse top.
You can get such easy-to-follow
patterns for play clothes nowadays,
and modern sewing machines have
such a vast equipment of gadgets
and attachments that almost per-
form miracles in stitching, tucking,
quilting, shirring, cording, it is a
temptation to make one's own out-
fits. Many smart, fashion-aware
women are doing just that, buying
up pretty materials and making
their own. It is a fact the records
show that the home-sewing idea is
decidedly on the increase.
Consider, in the light of being
your own dressmaker, the charming
gaytime sun suit which the girl seat-
ed is wearing. Just a few yards of
seersucker plaided in vivid colors
were required. You can make the
whole outfit by spending only a cou-
ple of hours at your sewing machine
even if you are a beginner at the
sewing game. A little gathering at-
tachment in your sewing machine
kit will dispose of the yards of gath-
ering at the waistline in just a few
moments. You'll love the swirling
ballerina skirt and the smartly fit-
ted jacket top that furnish the styl-
ing theme for this outfit.

New Handknit
Sheer Black Hat
Is Smart Fashion
The new hats of sheer black horse-
hair braid or of thin net or chiffon
are registering as one of the sea-
son's outstanding successes. The
smartest ones have large brims that
are styled to wear far back on the
head so that they halo hair and
face with a mist of wispy black.
They give you the dress-up look that
is so important for special occasions.
You'll love a hat of this type with
your black and white prints and
with the all-black afternoon sheer
costumes that are high fashion this
summer.
Fashion experts predict an enthu-
siastic revival of knitted costumes
with emphasis on hand-knit sweaters
for fall. This pert little bolero sweat-
er is just the thing to slip on with
your summer outfits and it will prove
a life-saver to bridge over midsea-
son days. It is easily made in sim-
ple drop stitch using contrasting pas-
tel yarns. Though the yarn gives
the impression of being heavy and
substantial it is in reality light as
a feather.
Patriotic Jewelry
Is Latest Fashion
The latest fashion gesture is to
wear a decorative piece of patriotic
jewelry. Of course the American
flag comes first in clips or brooches.
It has jeweled stripes and stars in
red white and blue. Glittering Amer-
ican eagle emblems eloquently be-
speak patriotism and they are ever
so decorative posed on suit lapel or
at the neckline of your summer
frocka.
Berets for Smart
Summer Headwear
For chic millinery to wear now
and through the fall, the beret, big,
black and dramatic carries the hon-
ors. The present beret vogue is
gaining momentum by leaps and
bounds. One way of wearing the
new beret is to pose it far back
on the head. There are also dra-
matic profile berets that turn up pic-
turesquely at one side. It is worth
while to study up on the beret move-
ment for be assured berets are im-
portant millinery news.
Big Revival for
Knitted Fashions
Knitwear enthusiasts here's good
news for you, in that nearly every
fashion report mentions the coming
importance of hand - knitted cos-
tumes, capes, sweaters and three-
quarter cardigans. So "attend to
your knitting" so as to be ready and
smartly knit clad when fall comes.
A charming novelty is the sweater
with a picturesque detachable match-
ing knitted hood.

Consistently beautiful and beauti-
fully consistent is the revelation of
God, whether it be in the glory of
His works, in the perfection of His
Word, or in His gracious dealings
with man. The spiritually minded
man sees God in ail of His works,
whereas the blind materialist sees
only matter and natural laws which
he may use or abuse. He makes
of God's creation things for his own
comfort or for the destruction of
his fellow men, not recognizing "the
Creator, who is blessed forever."
This is a serious matter, for in so
doing the unbeliever has "changed
the truth of God into a lie" (read
Rom. 1:20-25).
The psalmist here presents God
as He is revealed in nature, in His
Word, and in the heart of man.

II. God's Perfection Revealed in
His Word (vv. 7-11).
Nowhere in the book of nature is
it written that God is a Redeemer,
a cleanser from sin, a restorer of
the soui.' That truth is found only
in His Word—the Bible. What folly
then for sinful men who need re-
demption to see God only in nature,
but never look into His Word or go
to church that they may hear His
truth proclaimed. The final and
perfect revelation of God is in His
Son, Jesus Christ, the Redeemer.
The psalmist with the eye of faith
saw the perfection of God revealed
in His law. We are privileged to
know the Son of God who came not
"to destroy the law . . . but to ful-
fill."
Note the beautiful symmetry of

Let Better Baking' Solve Your
Baking Problems.
True it is we all have baking
problems. Yet, if solved correctly,
we save time because fallen cakes
don't have to be made over again
and we save money too—because the
family simply won't eat tough,
chewy pastry, heavy, soggy cakes,
etc.
In fact, it is to avoid just such
baking failures as these (and many
more) that I have compiled this
cookbook, "Better Baking." "Better
Baking" brings to you a whole se-
ries of baking hints, as well as a
compilation of many of my own fa-
vorite baking recipes, including such
unusual good-to-eat ones as a frost-
ed nut spice cake, gumdrop cake,
chocolate fudge cake, quick apple
cake, and even a maraschino cher-
ry cake.
