The Son of God answered her needs. He gave her full forgiveness in re- turn for her full penitence; He gave her the promise of future glory in return for her present reformation. “But Mary wads standing outside weeping at the tomb. So as she wept, she stooped down and looked into the tomb, and saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet where the body of Jesus had been laid . . . she turned round and beheld Jesus standing there, and she did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, ‘Wo- man, why artthouweeping? Whom dost thou seek?’ She, thinking that he was the gardener, said to him, ‘Sir, if thou hast removed him, tell me where thou hast laid him and I will take him away.’ Jesus said to her, ‘Mary!’ Turning, she said to him, ‘Rabboni!’ (that is to say, Master).” (John 20:1-18) On the first Easter morn Christ would not forget her. He came to offer His creature consolation and to remind her that they would be united again. Thus, Mary Mag- dalen found her Redeemer. Goodness is hard to achieve and harder still to maintain. However, only difficult tasks bring abundant rewards. Therefore, when the Chris- tian world rejoices in Alleluias this Resurrection morn, may each find in his heart the words of the Master, “Go in peace.” There's Whimsy In New Accents There’s a touch of whimsy in spring’s costume jewelry. A garden of vegetables grows on pins and bracelets, which the ‘animal king- dom’ provides bug, butterfly and fish pins. Stripes, dots and enam- eled designs provide colorful ac- cents for fashion’s snappy young designs. \ Flower pins bloom in the spring, in a wide and colorful array. Summer jewelry is imaginatively styled with brightly colored fruit cuff bracelets, playful straw ropes, painted bamboo chain necklaces and bangles, and straw balls and ‘ beads.

Lace looks very new and im- portant in fresh young styles. In marked contrast, are the crisp fabrics such as silk twills, ottomans, textured cottons and linens thatare used for spring’s more tailored styles. Colorwide, the spring spectrumis pale and pretty with emphasis on pinks, yellowed and clear pale greens, china blues, aqua, and the apricot-melon range. Contrast colors are important for spring dresses, with black and white looking especially right used to- gether as solids or mixed in prints. Spring is a study in contrasts, and nowhere is this better seenthan in the new costumes and co-ordi- nates where a single outfit may mix color, pattern and texture. For example, a black and white silk polka dot dress has an oatmeal linen coat; navy blazers are worn over white crepe dresses; printlinen blouses top lacy tweed suits and tri- color odd-jacket, skirt and blouse outfits abound. THE DALLAS POST—THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 1964 Prize Winning Displays Of Lovely Easter Arrangements The lovely Easter arrangements, pictured above, are several of the prize winning displays of Mrs. H. H. Rymer, Lehigh Street, Shavertown. The Cross denoting the Resurrection forms the background for both arrangements, one suitable for the home, the other for the church. Angel candelabra with tall white tapers in graduated sizes place em- phasis on the cross symbol. Sprays of white snapdragons with a wide petaled lily in a low con- tainer complete the home centerpiece. A little glittersprayed on the other cross brings immediate attention to the glorious Easter service offering. White carnations form the base with snapdragons encircling the cross. A background of fragrant Easter lilies completes the stirring picture of new life and promise. Mrs. Rymer’s arrangements are many and individual. In another issue will appear several more of her novel and wholly lovely works of art. ~ Soft, Pretty Dresses Take Over in Spring A soft spring is in the air for dresses. Fashion enters an era of romance, with the mood of the new season reflected in the gentle fit and feminine details of softer shifts, shirtwaists and skimmer styles. Blousing, bias = cuts, ruffles, pleats, softly drawn necklines and sleeves, droopy collars and big floppy bows are suretomakeevery woman look and feel her prettiest this spring. Easy-skirted styles have new swing and flare, while fuller skirts make a come-back. In a spring of romantic dresses, it’s only. natural that many of the most feminine and flattering styles have soft empire shaping. But the dropped waistline is youthfully important, too, in *‘stretched-out waistline looks’ that often end in a flounce or flare. The natural waistline makes a fashionable reappearance for spring in dresses with soft, blousey bodices and fuller skirts. Spring’s new costume concepts include stretched-out pleated skirt dresses with blazer jackets, dresses with capelets, and sleeved dresses with sleeveless coats. The gently-shaped coat dress and pseudo-suit, which is really a one- piece dress that just looks like a suit, complete the spring dress pic- ture. Spring’s sleeve is long and skinny, deep and wide, funnel or cape shaped. Although the sleeved look is most feminine, there will be plenty of sleeveless dresses for wo- men who prefer them. Necklines make news for spring. After the sun goes down, daring dresses really go to town with beautifully bared U-shaped scoop, circular and plunge necklines re- placing the ‘‘covered-up look.” The long dress is now anevening essential for elegants, and spring will see a romantic array of to-the- floor chiffons and laces. Pin stripes are starred for spring in dresses that play up contrast with a schoolgirl white collar and big bow, or acomplementary print. Who’s afraid of the big, bold print? Nobody it seems, for fashion has gone all-out for the spectacular this spring, and many of the smartest dresses around are in beautifully important abstract and floral prints.
