(Pam • r Closets Keep '1'to, I1 neither coaxing nor threatening have succeeded in turning as :t,xxaes-sesse , .,.;, Your daughter's disarranged, catch-all closet into neat, well. ordered storage space, here's a tip that may turn the trick. With a few yards of cotton Fabric and a few Hours at your sewing machine, you can make enough glamorous closet accessories to turn the most Varum-searum teen-ager into the soul of tidiness. If this is your first home -decorating assignment, spur local sewing center will give you sewing tips. There az'e two major reasons for unkempt closets: tmattractive- noss and lack of ,organization. It your daughter's present closet is •drab and dark, It's no wonder she feels no compunction to keep It prettied up, Remedy this by painting the inside of the closet it cheerful color that accessorll y fab ric: you lize ave cith hosen.e walls l install an electriof the room and lightsth n the e closet, t abo out makminate ingpcloset accessoin the ries that will encourage your daughter to have "a place for everything, and everything in Place," For these accessories, which should include shoulder covers, garment bags, shoe bags and bat boxes, use a washable cotton fabric"in gay print or plaid. It's;a good idea to make certain the material is sanforized, to avoid the bugaboo of shrinkage Shoulder covers should be shaped to fit the clothes hangers. Length should be from six to 10 .inches; width depends upon the bunt of the garment to be covered. Garment bags for best dresses are handy and attractive storage compartments, They are made in the same way as shoulder covers, but are full length of dress or coat. When seaming front and back pieces together, leave one side open fox- snaps or a slide fastener. Tor those cherished gold or silver slippers, make individual shoe bags. Cut the fabric large enough to allow for a drawstring top; the bag can then hang neatly from its strings on a clothes hook at the back of the closet. Dark tissue paper, 'wrapped around the shoes before they are put in the bag, will help protect them from tarnish, To keep the closet floor uncluttered, make a shoe bag for the inside of the door. This should include a back section 18 inches 'wide, and enough fabric strips, reinforced with cardboard or buck - tram, sewed on at intervals, to form pouches for four to six pairs .of shoes. .A covered hat box is next on the list, Make a paper pattern by tracing the box. Add a half-inch all around for seam allowance. ers To encourage her daughter's neatness. this mother stitches p accessories for a glamor closet, Gay plaid pieces, trinuned with eyelet ruffle, include a hat box, shoes bag, shoulder covers and slipper bags. The cover will lit best when cut on the bias. After the sections are stitched together and the seams pressed open, wet the surface of the box with glue and smooth the fabric on. To complete the job tack a row of eyelet ruffle to shelf edges, and add a few small sachets filled with your daughter's favorite scent, Annette Passes Out By Richard hill Wilkinson In September Bill decided he wasn't in love, He told himself it had been a summer romance. He regre ted it. He couldn't walk out and leave Annette flat. He bad to offer some sort of explanation. The wind whipped in their faces as the roadster sped through the night. Annette snuggled contentedly at his shoulder. I -Ie swung the roadster off the highway, They bumped along a wagon toad, presently emerging into a clearing. BM stopped. To- ward the north the horizon was illuminated by a dull glow. Lights from the town. Bill turned. Annette said: "Oh, Bill, I'm se glad we came out here. It was here you first told me you loved me. Remember?" "Sure. 4. renumber." "Say it now. Bill. Say you love met 13111 had intended to say just the opposite. Without knowing why, he pitied her. He spoke, but what he said was: "Of course I love you. You know that." It was as if she impelled hint to say it, "Kiss me, Bill, Kiss me and say it again." IIe kissed her, repeating the words, cursing himself for doing so. Why did she have to cling to hint so? He got a grit) on himself, He formed the words in his mind. "Bill, I've got a surprise, for you." "Surprise?" "I'nt going back to Belfast with you. -I've got a job there for time winter. We'll be together all win. ter, Bill. Isn't it grand!" Lord1 Now he was in for it. He hadn't expected that. Well, he'd have to be blunt, cruel. He'd have to tell her once and for all. "Bill!" There was terror in her tone, He turned quickly, She was looking away from him toward the horizon where the dull glow had been. The dull glow he had thought to be town lights, had developed into astonishing brilliance, "Fires The whole ridge is ablaze. Say, we'd better get goingl" He jammed his foot down on the starter. The motor whirred, and that was all. Bill swore, yanking out the choke. There was a sput- tering whine, a cough, silence. Bill opened the roadster's door. "Conte onl Engine's dead. We'll have to run for it." He yanked her out of tite car, started running along the wagon road, dragging her behind hint. He hadn't realized that fire could be like this. The speed of its approach amazed Hint. "13111! Wait! You're going too fast!" Bill turned just as she fell for- ward. He knelt beside her. "Try and get up. We've got to keep go- ing. it's our only chance." Pitifully she tried, sank to the ground, moaning softly. I -ie stopped and lifted her in his arms. 'Bill, don't!' You can't! Go on and leave me. There's no use in - both of us—" He went on blindly. Behind stint now he could hear the crackle of fauces, The road ahead was alight from the brilliance of the fire. It required no effort to move. Then suddenly, ahead, he saw the main highway. There were lights there. The lights from auto- mobiles and trucks. Bill lay sprawled in the back seat of a jogging touring car. He opened his eyes and saw Annette. Behind her the sky was dull red. "Bill, why did you do it? Why didn't you leave rue there when— when you knew—" He said: "Say, what do you take me for? Leave behind the girl I love!" "Oh, Bill, I've known for a month you didn't. I wouldn't let myself believe I was losing you. I wouldn't give you the chance to tell the truth." Bill swallowed, So that was it? So that was the reason she had-- Suddenly he lifted her in his arms "Annette," he whispered, "say you love me. Say it, and kiss me, darling." THE END DAY Sf l0OL LESSON By Rev, R. BARCLAY WARREN B.A., B.D. Using the Bible: 1's. 19:7-1 1; Arms 8:26-35 Golden Text: Thy word have I hid in twine heart that I might not sin against Thee, —Ps, 119:11. While visiting a hospital the other day, my young friend happily showed me a Bible which the Gideons bad placed in his room, The Gideons are performing a very effective service in placing the Bible in hospitals, hotels. prisons, etc. A great number have conte to a. saving knowledge of Jesus Christ through reading a Gideon Bible. The Bible is still the world's best seller. It is the message man needs today, The youth who are reading it today are not resorting to the gangster methods depicted in some comic' strips nor the immoral prac- tices pictured in the so-called "sex" megazines. The Bible brings en- lightenment, comfort, wisdom and knowledge. A university professor in philo- sophy said to Itis student: "You seem to regard the Bible as dif- ferent from the other books. Why?" The student replied: "The sixty-six books which comprise the Bible were written by kings, prophets, Priests, as well as a doctor, a man who had been a tax -collector, an- other a dreaded persecutor and some n-lio had been fishermen. They wrote over a period of some 1,600 years. Yet a beautiful har- mony pervades the whole. The golden thread of God's redemption through His Son Jesus Christ binds them all together from Genesis to Revelation. These men wrote as they were inspired by the Holy Ghost. This is God's revelation to us. In contrast, you philosophers of the centuries seen to have only this agreement, namely, to dis- agree." In our lesson Philip preaches Jesus to the Ethiopian from Isaiah which was written some seven hundred years before Jesus Christ came in the flesh. The sermon was effective too. It still is. There is no -substitute for the simple mes- sage of Jesus dying on the cross for us and rising again that we might have eternal life. "Tell me the old, old story" is the sentiment of the world's aching heart today. BERNARD vs. WINSTON Messrs.
