CHOICES AND THEIR CONSE-
QUENCES IN A NATION’S LIFE
T*HE fourth annual silk parade is
x on in country-wide pageantry
end during this time your favorite
•tores will have an unusually wide
selection of silk merchandise and
the smartest new silk fabrics. Plan
to do your shopping for your fall
wardrobe at that time when the
highlights of the season will be
available.
For the Important evening wrap,
•ilk and metal brocades in quaint-
ly beautiful colorings or exotic tones
•re in high favor. These are often
elaborate in texture and include self
•nd metal faconne as well as ex-
quisitely colorful metal brocaded
flowers For a floating full-skirted
frock, silk and metal marquisette
that reminds of oriental sheers that
veiled harem beauties, is new this
season.
The queenly flgure descending the
stairs to the right in the picture is
gowned in one of the opulent new
silks. It is a black satin with seif
and metal faconne in a leaf pat-
tern. Here is a perfect demonstra-
tion of the new trend toward styling
the gown with that utmost sim-
plicity that ignores any suggestion
of trimming m order the more to
play up the superbness of the fab-
ric. It is interesting to note the
gloves milady wears in that the
cuffs are finished with bands of giit-
Nations as well as individuals are
responsible before God for the man-
ner in which they live. They enjoy
the blessings of right living and
suffer the penalty of wrong moral
choices While it is true that na-
tional leaders may not always re-
flect the true character of the peo-
ple, it is generally true that there is
a sort of national character which
over a longer period of time accu-
rately represents the moral condi-
tion of the people as a whole.
Many earnest men and women be-
lieve that the United States of
America stands today at the cross-
roads of national moral decision.
There has been an unquestionable
decadence of true religion, of home
life, of social purity, and a growth
of moral indifference and outright
wickedness which causes men who
think to cry out for a revival of old-
fashioned spiritual and moral stand-
ards ere it be too late The most
effective, and in fact the only really
effective way to bring that about,
is a revival within the church of
Christ, and a resultant renewal of
its service in winning men to Jesus
Christ as their Saviour and Lord.

Winning,” by Dr. Will H Houghton,

For evening there is nothing more
breath taking than the colorful lac-
quer-printed silk satins. These fea-
ture flowers, geometries, Indian and
new and important. See to the left
in ihe picture how dramatically
printed satin of the glamorous type
drapes to the flgure.
Describing the swatches of hand-
some silks shown in the insets be-
low, the one,to the left is a multi-
color stamp printed silk satin for
evening. It will prove charming for
b short-skirted young dance frock.
It is also the type of silk that makes
a fetching deep girdle for a black
velvet dress—which is one thing
about these more elegant silks: if
your allowance does not permit buy-
ing yards and yards just a mere
dash of them used in a trimming
way on a monotone frock will give It
an aristocratic air.
I. Right Choices Result In Blessing
(vv. 8, 9).
Making the right choice is in fact
simple matter, for it means only
obedience to God’s commandments.
To the right is a black silk satin
with self and metal faconne richly
interwoven into a leaf pattern
It ranks high among silks that are
done in a grand manner.
Centered In the trio of insets is a
black faille with silver metal band-
ings, suitable for trimmings,
blouses, dinner gown or evening
jackets.

SMART FROCKS USE
LAVISH EMBROIDERY
A craze for embroidery is on.
Some of the smartest newest wool-
ens for daytime frocks and for the
stylish little separate jackets and bo-
leros and for waistcoats and blouses
are embroidered with an allover
scattering of tiny motifs or perhaps
with florals arranged in the popular
striped effects.
Knitted fashions also reflect the
flair for embroidery in that they
carry flowers and designs done in
bright yarns showing peasant influ-
ence.
The black dress that has a gor-
geous bouquet embroidered like a
corsage at either the waistline or
shoulder is a winsome number. Any
woman who can embroider could be
the happy possessor of a fetching
dress like this for to “embroider
your own" requires but little effort.
Evening fashions fairly scintillate
with dazzling embroideries. Short
sleeves, allover sequin-emhroidered,
enrich black velvet dinner gowns.
Embroidery is done on lace on
tulle, on velvet ribbons that girdle
the waist and so on and so on the
story of embroidery it endless this
season Even the simplest linen,
cotton or wool day dress is apt to
yield to the present urge for hand
Y^tchery of some fanciful sort.
This very good looking fall coat
in bold herringbone patterned soft
wool in natural beige has » notched
collar of beaver and • wide crush
belt of brown leather with fringed
ends, each of which is a distinctive
feature. The collaring of cloth coats
with handsome fur is one of fash-
ion’s most notable styling features
this fall, while the use of leather in
numberless trimming ways, es-
pecially for smart girdles, is one of
the highest highlights of the mode
this season. You can vision for your-
self the swank
girdle
made of
that a leather tie-
will give to coats
Youthful Effect Stressed
in New Wedding Clothei
The extremely youthful trend ol
this season s dothes has had Its ef
feet on wedding gowns The most
recent Part* brides have beer
dressed in demure creations ol
white- mousseline or organdie which
greatly resemble the frocks worn
by French children (or their first
communion.
Instead of the halo head veils or
ihe conventional wreaths of orange
blossoms, lilies of the valley or

God is the author of the moral
law. He alone can and does deter-
mine what is right and wrong. Man
need not determine, nor is he
equipped to decide that question. He
can and must relate the details of
his life to the law of God. How im-
portant it is then that he properly
understand that law, and what folly
it is to neglect the study of God’s
Word, where the commandments of
God are made known unto men.
Choosing God’s way means for
both men and the nations which
they make up (for my country is in
the final analysis myself, and other
individuals like me) the assurance
of God’s blessing and prosperity.
II. God Encourages Right Choices
(vv. 10-12).
Our God Is the great and untiring
"giver of every good and perfect
gift." We need but to lift up our
eyes and look at His handiwork,
or stir up our memories to recall
his goodness, and we know that he
and all his blessed works encour-
age us to do right—to live right.
But, alas, all too often God’s
choicest gifts are perverted and are
used to bring the very opposite re-
sult. The most beautiful lakes and
naturally delightful surroundings
are used for resorts and clubs which
all too often lead men to moral de-
struction. Parents almost tear that
their daughters may be too attrac-
tive, for the world, the flesh, and
the devil are constantly out “scout-
ing” for beautiful women whose
very God-given beauty may be used
to glorify sin and lead others into
disobedience to God.
HI. Right and Wrong Are Funda
mental and Eternal (vv. 26-32).
It needs to be repeated over and
over again in these callous and in-
different days that there is laid
down in the very constitution of the
entire universe a moral distinction
between right and wrong. Right is
always right, and wrong is defi-
nitely and eternally wrong There
is no moral twilight zone, where
things are neither white nor black,
but a neutral gray.
Note that the difference between
right and wrong was to be the same
"on the other side of the Jordan.”
Time and place have no power tc
change moral law. What was right
or wrong for your great-grandfather
Is right or wrong for you. What
was right in your home on the farm
is right in the city where you now
live, or vice-versa. The passing of
the years or a change of residence
does not alter that law of God.
May God help the people of our
nation, and all the countries of the
earth, to remember that it is still
true that “righteousness exalteth a
nation but stn is a reproach to any
people” (Prov 14 34).
