“And behold, awomanwas in the
city, a sinner, when she knew that
He sat in the Pharisee’s house,
brought an alabaster box of oint-
ment, and standing behind at His
feet, she began to wash His feet with
tears, and wiped them with the hairs
of her head, and kissed His feetand
~ anointed them with the ointment.
“And the Pharisee who had in-
7 vited Him, seeing it, spoke within
himself, ‘This man, if he were a
prophet, would know what manner
of woman this is that toucheth him,
g that she is a sinner.’
. And Jesus said to him,
oc “Wherefore I say to thee, her sins,
many as they are, shallbe forgiven
because she has loved much.’ And
~ He said to her, ‘Thy sins are for-
given . . . Thy faith has saved thee;
goin peace’. ” (Luke 7:36-50).
~~ Who was this woman? History
tells us she was Mary Magdalen.
~ Tradition gives her the most base
reputation any lewd woman has
ever shared. She was a public sin-
ner, a slut, scorned by every “‘right-

‘Mary Magdalen we now find at
- Christ’s feet. In the gospels and ac-
tions of the most famous teacher of
the western world we find the answer

~ God and neighbor opens the door
to perfect happiness. In His mira-
cles Christ immediately practiced
this virtue. He cured the lame,
‘healed the blind, and brought the
dead to life. Physical ailments, how-
“ever, are only an insignificant part
_ of contentment. In the internal strife,
the struggle within the soul, lies a
puzzling obstacle to self-peace. -
To meet this insatiable thirst for
~ perfection more than worldliness is
needed. Jesus Christ acknowledged
this hidden force. With His limitless
mantle of justice and mercy, with
His understanding of human

The Basis Of Christ's Teaching
by Nancy C. Andrake
sought to share in a permanent
joy which was, is, and always will
be a sharing in the life of Christ.
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.

Fabrics Match
Newest Fashions
Fabrics for dresses match the soft
mood of spring fashion, with many
silks. 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.

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.

Spring Jewelry
Spring jewelry adds just-rightfin-
ishing touches to both romantic

cuff links and casual chain neck-
Jlaces.
