INTERESTING ACCESSORIES ADD CHARM
TO HoME-sEWERs SPRING WARDROBE!

French belt. A really unique
or unusual access sorry can
hold its own.
Pictured here are perfect
examples of two exquisitely
simple suits that can be
"dressed up" with a wise
use of accessories, or stand
alone on their merits of line
and design. Createdby French
designers Givenchy and Pierre
Cardin, exclusively for Nc
Calls Patterns, they possess
the quality and craftsmanship
that have made French
fashions the most formidable
in the world.
The beige, tw~ - ---l
with the softly gathered skirt
(McCall's Pattern No. 1862
is a Givenchy design. The
gathers start just below the
waistline and hide two slash
pockets in their folds; then
the skirt tapers to pencil
slimness at the hem. The
round neck overblouse, with
the interesting binding down
the front and around the
neckline, has comfortable
dolman sleeves in bracelet
length.
Whether it is made in a
lightweight wool for spring
or a linen for later, it can
carry a pin that can be placed
at any one of a half-dozen
spots.
Both patterns have Nc
CALI S new Easy Rule feature
for easy, quick and accurate
The other suit (McCall's
Pattern No. 1910 is one of
Cardin's original designs
for MCCALL S. The collarless
jacket falls loose TO just
below-the-waist. It's most
striking feature is the pair
of deep tucks, running di-
agonally from the tip Of the
shoulder to the bustline.
Shown here with a pin al
the neckline, the suit could
also be worn with a soft
chiffon scarf or ascot, OF
arls, or a pin at the base
of the jacket.

Tip: The best way of pinning
the pattern to the fabric is
to place pins in along the
lengthwise grain: the pins
slide in easier, the tissue
doesn't puff and you car
work quickly all in one
direction.

TT SEEMED THAT UNSEEN HANDS GUIDED ME"

I received a letter the other
day from a man in far-off Singa-
pore. He had an interesting
story to tell me. I believe you
will receive encouragement
from his words. He writes:
Every day and night for two
years / suffered constant pain.
1t all began with a fall | had.
AS the pain became worse /
could not stand straight and my
right leg became almost an inch
shorter than my left leg. In an
attempt to relieve the pain for
even a minute, | would have to
move my entire body to diff
ferent positions.
One afternoon, while lying
in bed and suffering severely,
the pain was so great that |
cried out to the Lord. / asked
him to have mercy on my soul
and my body, and to relieve me
of my suffering.
Gods convicting Spirit came
upon me. | suddenly realized
that / was a sinner. It seemed
that unseen hands guided me
Something told me to kneel
down by my bed.
i knelt down and immedi-
ately began pouring my heart
out to God, asking him to have
mefcy on my soul and forgive
me Of my sins. He answered my
prayer! Suddenly ! felt the load
of my sins being lifted. Joy
and peace flooded my soul.
But my body was still
racked with pain. | called upon
Cod again, and was ~consciou:
of someone very near in my
room. / prayed to God, asking
him to heal my body.
, 1959-06-04

As / continued to pray, the
power of God came upon me,
and a wonderful feeling spread
over me. In all my life, / had
never felt SO free and won
derful!
"A few minutes later, when
/ found that / could straighten
up from the bed without any
pain, / couldn't hold back my
tears. So ! just Wept before the
Lordl
1t has now been four years
since God saved my soul and
healed my body. Today | am
enjoying perfect health. My legs
are normal. | have dedicated
my life to the Lord to serve
him because, truly, God is a
good Cod"
Isn't it wonderful what the
Lord can do! He is our ever
present help in time Of trouble.
God is everywhere. God is al
ways near, eager to forgive us
Of our sins. He is ready to heal
us Of our bodily ailments if we
will believe and have faith in
him.
This man from Singapore is
a fortunate man. The very pres
ence of God in his room vas SO
strong that, as he says, he was
led by unseen hands to kneeI
in prayer and ask for deliver
ance.
Such letters as this from Ma
laya-on the opposite side Of
the world-cheer our hearts.
Yes, God is a good God,
ready to save, eager, to heal.
All he asks of us is that VIC
search our hearts and believe!
