Gem Ceremony
The general meeting of the
Christian Women’s Fellowship
of First Christian Church was
held Monday night in the church
sanctuary.
Mrs. Donna Davis, vice-
president, presided at the short
business meeting in the absence
of out-going president, Mrs. Sue
Ann Wilson.
Mrs. Vera Evarst then led in
inspirational service of in-
stallation entitled “Jewels” for
the CWF officers for the 1971-72
church year.
Using Proverbs 31 as her text,
Mrs. Evarts likened Christians
to Jewels. First, they are rare
and not to be found everywhere
or in large numbers. Second,
jewels are not only rare, they
are beautiful. Real beauty
comes from being right on the
inside. Real jewels are genuine,
pure and fine all the way
through, else they would have
no lasting beauty. “We must
adorn ourselves with good
works for the Master,” she
added. Third, jewels are
valuable. It takes large sums of
money to purchase them, often
they are secured at great
sacrifice. So it is with God’s
children. We were bought at a
very great price. Fourth, to be
beautiful and valuable, jewels
POLLY’S POINTERS
Waters House Planter
Through Drinking Straw
By POLLY CRAMER
DEAR POLLY—When I put a house plant in a decora-
tive planter that has to be watered from the top I always
insert a small drinking straw and fill this with water each
time. The straw carries the water to the bottom where
the roots are.—SAM
DEAR POLLY—Four ol us children share the same
bathroom, so to keep our towels from getting mixed up
our mom wrote our names on clothespins which we fasten
to our towels when we hang them up.—MOLLY

I for using something that would be removable.—

persons who so thoughtlessly and loudly chew gum on
buses and the department store clerks who stand by while
you hunt sizes and never make an offer to help.—SUE

FASHION
Hot Pants Take Sandals
By HELEN HENNESSY
NEA Women’s Editor
NEW YORK — (NEA) —
Spring ushered in the hottest
fashion trend since the mini
—Hot Pants. Soon, fickle
fashion’s faithful followers
will be clad in CitySuits, T-
Suits, ShortShorts and Blaz-
ers — and to go with them
long coats, worn open, and
skirts that are slit all the
way to the waist.
Footwear fashions will in-
clude all the wrap-around-
the-leg sandals and espadril-
les, ghillies, clogs and plat-
form looks. In melting soft
colors, they will lace about
as far as they can go. And
the Scholl Exercise Sandal is
another great fashion play-
mate for summer’s short
short sizzlers.
While it complements both
shorts and skirts regardless
of length, the design wasn’t
determined by fashion alone.
It is a sandal that happily
meets the needs of beauty
and exercise as well. The
sole is molded to follow the
shape of the foot and raised
to make a “gripper bar”
which the toes grasp each
time they take a step.
Because legs are out in the
open again they need every
bit of‘help they can get.
Everyone, at one time or an-
other,- has tried the well-
known beautifier — picking
up marbles with the toes,
but would lose your own
marbles if you did it too
often. And that’s where the
exercise sandal comes to the

limelight. Welcome as a summer romance is the

and over short shorts. A crisp linen coat (right) is

versatile favorite, Scholl Exercise Sandals.
rescue. The gripping and
flexing action comes from
merely walking in the sandal
and gives beneficial exercise
to legs and feet.
Just take a walk and soon
your legs may be rushing in
where once they feared to
tread.
DEAR POLLY—A square, plastic, collapsible water con-
tainer used by campers and available in most sporting
goods stores makes a good
inexpensive footstool for an
older family member. Stuff
it through the filler hole
with old hose, strips of ma-
terial, clean rags, etc., as
solid as possible and it will
be lightweight enough for
an older person to move
about. After it is filled, use
su a sharp knife to trim off
the filler spout and handle,

. m . being careful not to punc-
ture the plastic. Put masking tape over the hole and cover
the stool with a suitable upholstery fabric. Our mom has
a pillow to match hers and there is little chance of a mix-
up of these possessions in the nursing home where she
lives.
We used a pajama bag in the shape of an animal to
carry a spare diaper or a plastic bottle of juice when a
child passed the diaper stage but still needed occasional
attention. We have done this with our 17-month-old grand-
daughter while she was visiting us and she enjoyed
carrying these necessities herself, instead of a stuffed
animal, when we went to visit or for a ride —MRS
