KAVRITE COUNTY LEADER. FAYETTE. IOWA. Suit of Woolknit Rates High On the Spring Style Program By CHERIE NICHOLAS By VIRGINIA VALE Released br Western Newspaper Union. THE first day of shooting for "Mrs.

Miniver" Creer Garson was knocked down in a street scene by a boy on a bicycle. On the first day for "Madame Curie," she was knocked down by a camera perambulator. "Maybe it's a good omen," said she. "But I hope I never start a picture in a scene with a locomotive Nobody was surprised when "Mrs. Miniver" got the Academy Award for the best picture of 1942; it was especially good news to Major William Wyler, who recently directed the filming of the bombing of the German naval base at Wilhelmshaven.

Nan Wynn, the popular radio, night club and motion picture singer, has been placed under long- term contract by Columbia, and will is no doubt that your best fashion move is to start the spring season off with as smart a suit of sterling worth as your clothes budget will allow, for it's an unchallenged fact that a suit's the thing this year. i However, there are suits and suits lined up in endless procession in the spring, 1943, collections, and the clever maneuver on the part of the woman who would dress with distinction is to choose a suit that is outstanding which leads up to what we would say in regard to the voguishness of woolknit suits as designers are turning them out this spring. Not only do the new wool- knits bespeak brilliant style technique, but their colorings are su- Paatet Tvcoliinits will be found ideal for immediate under-coat wear, and when balmy days arrive these same suits will serve as beloved standbys, giving promise of joy and comfort the whole summer through and on into the fall. For that matter, when it comes to giving more than one season's wear, a woolknit suit does just that. You can buy knit suit with perfect confidence nowadays, for they have been brought to a no-wrinkle, no-sag, shape-holding stage which makes them thoroughly trustworthy for Utilitarian, practical wear.

The eye-appealing suit to the right in the above illustration is a pastel woolknit that breathes the very breath of spring in its refreshing, lightsome coloring. It is available in a series of winsome pastels. The Woolknit is tweed-like in appearance, but soft and light in weight. The edges are whipped in a darker tone giving an exclusive-looking hand- done accent. The beautiful cut and tailoring of the two-piece wool knitted dress centered in the group makes it flatteringly wearable by figures both slender and not so slender.

Soft, yet not bulky, this is a perfect type for immediate undcr-coat wear, and later without a coat it will function smartly more than one season through. Collarless neckline, little pockets and silver buttons are nice details. Bright, dashing colors of the new- this-season handknits fit right into the scheme of things for spring. The stunning model to the left in the above illustration has a fitted jacket and flaring skirt and is knitted in an unusual shell stitch which gives it a designful jacquard surfacing. The little hat is made to match.

Another item (not illustrated) which makes a smart addition to the spring wardrobe is the double- breasted fingertip length topper that flares in youthful boxy an ideal spring wrap. Wear it over slacks at home, with skirts or dresses on the street and most effectively over evening clothes. For the woman who likes conservative but ultra smart sports clothes, shown in the better shops is a twosome which consists of gray flannel slacks (gray is a high fashion color this season) topped with a gray turtle-necked sweater of 100 per cent cashmere wool, light as a feather in weight, making the suit ideal for temperamental spring days. The collection of formal evening sweaters you will see in the stores include such winsome types as a white woolknit cardigan with a gracefully draped hiplipe and a sequin butterfly embroidered on the sleeve. Released by Western Newapaper Union.

Smart Bow Hat At first glance it looks like a huge bow, pure and simple, which milady is wearing so smartly posed back of her fashionable pompadour hairdo. Truth is this ponderous bow is really a strikingly new spring chapeau. See it in the original and you will discover a little straw crown that pins on, worn right on the back of the head. The pompadour hat and the pompadour hairdress is a highly important fashion gesture this spring. The dress is a "last word" creation of white flannel cross- barred with blue.

It has a fly-front closing and a new square neckline finished with a large pearl button in the new manner. Short Sleeves Offer A Fashion Surprise A surprise vogue is being ushered in this spring. It is the dress with short sleeves, some so short they merely cap the shoulder. This new styling is being interpreted in endless ways. Of course the trend has to do for the most part with fashions for the younger element.

The technique has many variations, such as elongated shoulder lines, or the band extension that gives a deep armhole effect. Frilly lace-edged ruffles also will serve, and many unique treatments will develop as the spring and summer fashion picture unfolds. You will find the new brief-sleeve vogue reflected especially in sportswear, in afternoon dressy prints and notably in the new black lace-trimmed sheers. Print Furlough Suit Is A Frilly New Concoction The "furlough suit" has all the characteristics of a suit in its styling but it takes on a very gala look because of the gay charm of the print crepe of which it is made. Also it takes on a lavishment of frilly white or pastel frilly neckwear or opens over a gilet that boasts of an utterly feminine lacy jabot.

It is apt to have jeweled buttons, too, and you are supposed to top it with a beguiling millinery confection with gloves and bag attuned to the prettiness and colorfulness of the entire. Neckwear Vogue Pile on all the frilly neckwear you will this season and then you will not have carried the vogue too far. It's the smart way of giving distinction to your simplest frocks.

The Portland girl is 30 years old, her young man is only 24.

She says that she is young for her years, and that he has been developed by responsibilities and hard times to seem much older than he is. He was a worker at 14, took care of an invalid mother and little sister until the mother died and the little sister married, and Alma says that while he is foil of fun and confidence and eagerness, he is really a serious man in many ways. Alma has had a hard time, too. She has been the main support of a family of older persons, faithfully moving between home and office for almost 12 years. But for all that she is young in spirit, she writes me of a tiny week-end cottage near the sea where she has sometimes crowded in as many as a dozen friends, of her cat, her window gardens, her love for cooking, and the tiny niece that her brother sometimes lends her for a visit.

And her picture shows a small, charming person, beaming under a wide- brimmed hat. So my advice to Alma was to marry her Tom at once, and enjoy her rightful share of happiness as wife, home-maker, and someday mother. Pleasant Years Predicted. There is no generalizing about marriage, but it is true that marriage in which the wife is somewhat the older of the two, do generally turn out happily. Alma is going into this marriage with a real determination to make it a success, and something tells me that it will be one.

The other case is that of a girl named Margot, who is 17. She is the only child of a divorced mother; it is the mother who writes me. "I was only 18 when Margot was born," says her letter, "so that we really are more like sisters than mother and daughter. She has been my one and sole consideration for every moment of her life. We traveled in Europe every summer; I helped her with all her lessons; we had a plan for every Saturday and 'Sunday.

My husband was 14 years older than it was his family, and his first wife family, who made our marriage impossible; Margot was only a few months old when I left her father, and I have not seen him since. "Like an uncle to Margaret has always been the family doctor; he was on the staff of the hospital where she was born, later became a nerve specialist and moved into our neighborhood. He is now 54. When he began to call constantly at our house it was natural for me to feel that he was interested in me; I have always liked him, without ever giving any deeper feeling so much as a thought. Some weeks ago I said halt-seriously to Margot that I wished John, to call him that, would ask me to marry him and have it over, as the suspense created by his calls, gifts, significant speeches, notes, was getting on my nerves.

Daughter's Confession. "Her answer was a burst of tears, and a hysterical statement that if it had not been for her fear that I loved John, and that it would break my heart to lose him, she would have told me long before that she TWO ANSWERS This week Kathleen Norris an- tuiers two letters asking whether or not it it essential to a happy marriage for the husband and wife to be the same, or nearly the same age. In each of these two eases the ansteer it "no," although the circumstances vary considerably. On the one hand, a girl of 30 wants to marry a young man 24; and on the other, a girl of 17 is madly in love with a middle-aged man about three times her age. Be sure to read this wise and tolerant discussion of a problem that has troubled many women.

was madly in love with him. I was stupefied. Margot to me is still the dear happy dancing child who has been my companion all these years; to think of her as married, and married to a man almost 20 years older than I am, actually sickens me. I have not been well in soul, mind or body since this thunderbolt fell upon me. John is about three times her age, a well-groomed, successful man who has many friends, a fine practice, and who is extremely youthful in his tastes.

He takes her to dances, plays tennis, associates much with younger people, but all that doesn't change the facts. Worse, he was married long before Margot was born, and has two daughters older than Margot. One of these is married; the other lives at home as his housekeeper, and as the establishment includes his paralyzed old mother, two servants, a nurse for the mother and an office nurse, with a chauffeur and gardener as everyone seems to feel that Margot would be lucky to keep this daughter in the family as manager. Margot stands a little in awe of Helen, who is about 24, and says she would like this arrangement. But to think of my adored baby in that big house, with a husband older than her own father is, and all those complicated relationships to adjust, frightens me.

I could prevent this marriage until she is 18, perhaps, but she could go to her father for permission, and as he has never had the slightest responsibility for her, or interest in her, he would probably give his consent. "What argument can I use with her to convince her that she is throwing away youth, good times, the prospect of falling normally in love with someone of a suitable age? For certainly what she feels for this man isn't love." Situation Beyond Control. The answer is, you can do nothing. And for your consolation let it be said that Margot is now playing a part, and it is a happy and popular part. That will be Margot's role, and she will love it.

Presently the maids, chauffeur, step-daughters, the helpless old mother, the nurses, will all be in love with lovely little Mrs. John. Sometimes girls keep up that attitude all their lives; I knew one handsome old woman who stiU liked to remember that when at 18 she married a rich man of 55, he insisted that she go on with her schooling. And when he went to the Philippines during the Spanish war, he put her into boarding school. She had four step-sons, all much taller and older than she, and two boys of her own, and, while it wasn't marriage as most men and women know it, marriage with its young cares and responsibilities, its mutual dependence and financial worries, it was a happy life for her.

The most important day in all history was the first day of the week following the crucifixion of Christ. Then He appeared to His disciples as their risen Lord. All the hope ot all mankind for all eternity depended on His victory over death. By eventide news had come to the disciples of His resurrection, and half in hope and half in uncertainty they had gathered to talk over these matters. Fearful of the Jews, they met behind closed doors.

All at once'He was Lord Himself. What a wonderful change came over them as He made Himself known to them. They went I. From Fear to Gladness (vv. 19, 20).

Their eyes had been upon their enemies and they were afraid. Now they "were glad, when they saw the Lord." We need to learn ttiat lesson. If we look within we are ashamed and discouraged. If we look around us we are confused and fearful. If we look to Christ we are glad and strong.

Notice that their joy was not based only on an emotional impulse. They saw Christ in His resurrection very One who had died. The evidence was there before them. Now they could understand the things He had said to them. The whole realm of spiritual truth was now in focus again, and they were glad.

So are we when we really see Christ. II. From Weakness to Strength (vv. 21-23). The disciples who were called to be witnesses for Christ had lost their testimony when He died on the cross.

Unbelief and discouragement had so weakened them that they were in hiding instead of being out proclaiming His truth. Now the risen and victorious One sent them forth with the Father's blessing. They were empowered by the Holy Spirit, and given great authority (v. 23). Note that it was given not to one man or to the leaders, but to all the disciples.

It was "a declarative right, and it belongs to every true disciple. Those who have received the gift of the Holy Spirit are in a position to declare to men that their sincere repentance brings forgiveness" (Douglass). The opposite is also true. HI. From Doubt to Faith (vv.

2428). Thomas, who had doubts and who cultivated them by his stubborn attitude (v. 25), did himself and his brethren a serious disservice by being absent from the meeting on the evening of the first Easter Day. When he did appear he had only doubts to contribute. Let those who make a custom of absenting themselves from the place and hour of service beware lest they do likewise.

His doubts were honest God always meets such questions, honestly and intelligently. When the evidence was before him, the heart of Thomas leaped the chasm from doubt to faith in one cry of complete devotion (v. 28). It is significant that down through the ages many doubters have been won to Christ by the proof ol the resurrection of Christ, which is by the testimony of historical scholars "the best authenticated fact in all history." The risen Christ stands before men today and says, "Be not faithless but believing." May many respond with Thomas, "My Lore and my God." IV. From Death to Life (vv.

2931). Christ arose from the dead not just to show that He had power to do so, but, as Paul puts it, "for our justification" (Rom. The reality and dependability of the en tire plan of salvation hinged on the return of Christ from the dead Had the grave held Him, His claims of deity and of the ability to for give sin would have been entirely discredited. Because He lives we shall live. The experience of regeneration is therefore likened in Scripture to.

passing from death to life (John Thomas saw the Lord, anc believing, passed from doubt faith. We cannot see Him now, bu we have the blessed privilege of be lieving and thus receiving life (vv 29, 31). This was the mssage which thi now radiant and empowered disci pies went out to preach. The of Acts tells us how effectively the; did it, and shows how much of thei preaching centered on the fact the resurrection. The command and the conunis sion was not to them alone, bu also to all of us who believe in Christ.
