Dark Sheer Print to Keep You
Cool and Chic on a Summer Day CUNDAy)
* OcHooL Lesson
By CIIERIE NICHOLAS
TF YOUR summer
clothes collection
lacks a frock of dark
sheer print (cloque
organdy is particu-
larly good buy for it
neither wrinkles nor
needs ironing) you
are losing out on a
friend in need and indeed that
will faithfully serve on a blazing hot
summer day. During the torrid mid-
summer season the big problem is to
dress so as to keep cool and fresh
looking and smartiy styled in ap-
pearance all at the same time, and
the gowns that will do it is the
one made of a handsome dark gaily
patterned sheer print.
Once get the habit of having a
dark cool sheer print frock within
calling and it will become a tradi-
tion with you. It is not only that the
comfort of a dark sheer keeps your
disposition sweet giving you poise
reflected in a self-satisfied expres-
sion on your face, but a dark print
this summer ranks among the high-
est in style prestige.
The way to get the most out of
your dark sheer frock is to fortify
it with several sets of accessories.
We know of a superbly chic dark
print recently acquired by a young
sophisticate that thrilled with possi-
bilities. The coloring happened to
be deep wine, light green, with a
sprinkling of white on a deep rich
mossy green background. What in-
terchangeable accessories did for
this frock in the way of chic and
charm and imparting a different
look tuned to occasion is a lesson in
color well worth noting.
A cunning trick about this gown
was its rather wide belt of self print,
across the front of which were sev-
eral vertical slashes finished like
bound buttonholes. The idea was
to thread an inch wide ribbon in and
out of these openings to tie in loops
and streamers at one side. The
ribbon picked up a color in the
print and this keyed the color for
the entire accessory ensemble.
Gloves and draped turban of match-
ing wine-red jersey added the touch
supreme.
A prime favorite this season, ac-
cording to reports from fabric cen-
ters, is the attractive cloque organ-
dies, beloved because they stay fresh
in that their permanent crinkte gives
them a natural resistance to wrin-
kling. Think of the joy and satis-
faction in a dress you can dabble
out easily as a handkerchief, give it
a good shake, hang it up to dry
and presto in the morning a look-
like-new dress awaits you. Being
dark in general tone you can wear
it almost anyplace, shopping, travel-
ing and where you will, knowing that
your gown will fit into the picture
perfectly.
The two gowns pictured are just
the sort of dark prints that doll up
vaingtoriously with versatile acces-
sories. Dainty rosebuds are scat-
tered over a dark sheer for the at-
tractive dress to the right. The fine
washable swiss voile tiiat makes it
is cut on slim one-piece lines with
smart all-around pleats in the skirt
and repeated in the tiny pleats flar-
ing the lace trimmed neck. Perky
little velvet bows and crystal but-
tons are pleasing highspots. The
beautiful draping qualities of fine
swiss cloque fast-color, flower-print-
ed organdy has inspired the win-
some frock shown to the left. Here
you see the new elongated bodice
line with style emphasis on sophisti-
cated simplicity.

Cottons Are an
American Fashion
There is no need to ask yourself,
Shall I wear cottons? You'll be far
too busy deciding just which ones
to wear. For cottons this season
are as necessary in a well-rounded
wardrobe as are lingerie and stock-
ings.
Paris takes some of the credit for
the enormous acceptance of cottons,
and rightly so, but in the main
they are basicaliy American. They
fit perfectly into the American idea]
of freshness and cleanliness. Most
cotton costumes are born and reared
in this country, from the planting of
the seed to the iast stitch put into
the gown.
For That New Look
Follow These Tips
Your hair in a pompadour, your
beret or wide brimmed hat or bon-
net-like toque worn far back on your
head giving accent to the pompa-
dour. Your suit in the very smart
narrow lines that are coming in
ready for fall. Follow this formula
and you wilt look "new" as new
can be in fashion.
Copycat Fashions
Ape Men's Attire
The loose, long lines, straight back
and low-piaced pockets that charac-
terize men's jackots are exactly the
features that college girls are de-
manding this season in casual sports
coats. Either they go to men's stores
to buy these jackets or have them
copied in their favorite fabrics and
stytes.

Include in your collection a belt
of the type pictured and we'll wager
it wili be the one you like best and
wili wear oftenest. The present pre-
vailing vogue for ruffles and the ut-
terly feminine touch is reflected in
the styling of this belt. The artistry
and originality that distinguishes
this model is apparent at first
giance. Wear it and you will find it
is especialiy sienderizing. To achieve
this clever effect Criterion molded
the beit and its engaging littie ruf-
fled tabs from velvet-smooth cape-
skin with a hidden adjustable ciasp
which assures a style that win fit to
perfection.
Persian Toques to
Be Autumn Style
Persian toques, intricately draped
and twisted, are among the first
new models shown by Legroux
Soours for autumn. They are made
of printed velvet, printed jersey
and a cashmere print.
Confidence, contentment, assur-
ance, safety, security—all words ex-
pressing the deep desires of the hu-
man heart—fittingiy characterize tha
biessed and beautiful Shepherd
Psalm which is our lesson next Sun-
day.
Here the soul meets God in per-
sonal, intimate fellowship—in the
promise of provision for every need,
deliverance from every danger, ti:c
assurance of both present and u)-
timate biessing. It has become-the
best known of all psalms and per-
haps the favorite scripture of most
Christians.
Familiarity may cause us to miss
the blessing of such a scripture pas-
sage. To heip us to make a fresh j
approach to this Twenty-third !
Psalm, let us follow the suggestion
of Dr. W. E. Barnes and think of it
as describing the journey of life. We
find that we may go forth
!. !n the Care of a Sure Guide
(vv. 1, 2).
Nothing is more important in trav-
ersing an unfamiliar land than to
have a competent guide. The jour-
ney of life is a pilgrimage through a
land unknown to us, with its many
pleasant piaces, but aiso its howling
wiidernesses, its pitfalis and its ene-
mies in ambush.
"The Lord is my shepherd." If t
am in His Hock He wili guide me,
care for me and give me the joy
of green pastures and still waters
The expression "maketh me to lie
down" (v. 2) is worthy of speciai
comment—that all too often we be-
come too busy or too important to
take the rest we should have, and
the Good Shepherd has to "bend the
knee" of the sheep and make him
lie down, sometimes even by the
force of sickness, or of trying cir-
cumstance. Why do we make it
necessary for our Shepherd to thus
deal with us?
H. With Every Need
(vv. 3-5).
We are a needy people, cona(
ly dependent on the loving prod:
of our God. Dr. J. H. Jowett sa)
that man has three enemies: (1) Th
sin of yesterday, from which he cat
not get away; (2) the temptation c
today, made more powerfui by th
pressure of the clever and insidiou
seducer, Satan; and (3) the fearo
death which awaits him tomorrow
Good Shepherd, wilt Thou mee(
these mine enemies for me? "Yes,
comes His answer through the
psaimist.
For the sin of yesterday there ia
the restoring of the sou]. Every'
where the power of God is evident,
restoring that which has been de
stroyed or broken down, healing the
wound; but nowhere is it mote evl
dent or biessed than in His rcstora
tive ministries to the soui. He
cieanses from sin, gives peace
through His Word, joy through a
hymn or a bit of poetry, comfort in
the fellowship of a friend.
For today—"He leadeth me in the'
paths of righteousness for his;
name's sake." The worid offers
many by-paths, and makes them
seem to be the right way, but my
heaveniy Guide will lead me in the
way of righteousness. This He does,
not because of any merit in me,
but for His own dear name's sake—
for "the praise of the giory of his
grace" (Eph. 1:6). That cares for
the need of today.
But tomorrow, or on some tomor-
row, I must go the way of aii flesh
and (unless Jesus comes) I must
"walk through the valiey of the
shadow of death." Even there I need
"fear no evil." The Good Shepherd
is as much with me in the dark and
swelling waters of that valley as He
was with me "beside the stiU wa-
ters." Little wonder that this psaim
has been the comfort of tens of thou-
sands of believers in Christ as they
have passed through that vaiiey.
Why will anyone do without this
Christ, who is the Good Shepherd
(John 10:11)?
Every need finds its full satisfac-
tion: enemies are discomfited, the
oil of giadness anoints our heads,
and our cups run over as we go on
!H. To a Destination Certain and
Biessed (v. 6).
Not ail who set out upon a jour-
ney reach their goal, but the Lord
has never lost one of those entrusted
to His care (John 17:12). Goodness
and mercy through aii the days of
our iives wouid iead oniy to uitimate
disappointment if they did not bring
us to the Father's house.
In that house there are "many
mansions or abiding piaces (John
Prepared for us by our Lord.
We know we shail come to that
biessed journey's end with safety,
because He wili bring us there, to
go in and out no more forever.
lo study such a iesson is to cre-
ate the desire in one's heart that
aii nien shouid know about this Good
Shepherd, to be brought into lits
nock. Reader, do you know Christ
as your Saviour and the Shepherd of
your soui? If not. wi!] you not com<?
to Him now by faith?

Whispered Secrets
As everyone is pleased with im-
agining that he knows something
not yet commonly divuiged, se-
cret history easiiy gains credit;
but it is for the most part be-
lieved oniy while it circuiates in
whispers, and when once it is
openiy toid, is openiy refuted.—Dr.
Johnson.
In some parts of China, weight
instead of price of food fluctuates
with market conditions. For ex-
ample, a housewife always pays
the same price for rice, but she
gets a "big pound" when it is
plentiful and "a iittie pound" when
it is scarce.
F) ECIDEDLY young, and just as
^ fresh-looking as a spray of ap-
ple blossoms, this frock (8680) win
be lovely in siik print or fiat crepe,
with airy white frills. Notice how
cieverly the frilis are used to ac-
centuate the torso which is not
only the newest news in siihou-
ettes, but potent to give you the
iong, limber look for which we're
aii striving. The fuil skirt, iittie
pairs of buttons down the front
C,Such piaces as oid city ware-
houses, factories, breweries, ho-
tels and churches provide housing
for more than 40,000,000 egg-lay-
ing chickens in tiers of individual
cages equipped with feed, water
and egg-transportation troughs.
For instance, a $1,000,000 Fiorida
hotel that faiied a short time ago
is now a "chicken coop" with 60,-
000 caged hens.
