q TILITY PITCHE R
PICTURESQUE VESSELS FOR
DRINKING FLUIDS.
FOR
Grotesque Effects STANDARDIZATION
ed Designs in Jade and English
Pottery and Crystal"

The up-to-date housewife has new and
all-engrossing fad. 1t is the collection of
unique pitchers for use on the table, as
we'll as for display on the dining room
shelves. In fact. that these receptacies
can be turned to practical account Is the
first requisite in gaining her fancy. Be-
yond that there Is no limit to the eccen-
tricities of shape and design of the odd
specimens which she picks up on her va
rious shopping tours Glass, china and
crockery all play their part In the unusual
array. while the size OF the pitchers ranges
from the very tiniest vessel for holding
milk to the huge tankards that serve as
flower vases.
The most fascinating of these pitchers
are In crockery and show figures and faces
of animals In their molding. Long-nosed
gull heads form the main part of the pitch
er. while the beak acts as the spout. On
other pitchers an owls head In very realis-
tic sleeptness peers from the front of the
vessel. One beauty OF these seemingly
grotesque receptacles lies in the delicate
brown shades that tint the heavy porcelain
from which they are made.
Then there are comical faces that adorn
odd pitchers. These show flesh tints and
colorings in exact imitation OF florid-faced
monks or laughing clowns. More serious
designs display carefully featured heads
of fanciful men or women. Noteworthy Is
pitcher in white porcelain outlining the
distinguished lineanents Of George Wash
ingtons face. A black colonial cap of
porcelain rests on the head with points
standing out at each side, by means Of
which liquid can be poured in either direc-
ton, None Of these pitchers show hand
painting. the shapes being coiored and
shaped In molds before firing.

sides and handle and spout are free from
decided curves. though the outlines, be-
cause of their very severe simplicity. are
quite pleasing those with more up
to-date winding shapeliness. One of their
attractions also les in the fact that ii is
almost impossible TO find two pitchers ex-
actly alike. Every one Is nodded on ind-
viduaI lines.
In keeping with the modern school of
decoration are the chocolate pitchers Of
painted china, which are dear to the heart
of every woman. These tall graceful re-
ceptacles are tinted in the softest of ivory
and pale pastel colors. with exaggerated
nouveau art designs winding over the han
dies and around the shapely vessel. A
Christmas novelty on this order should be
seen to have its beauty really appreciated.
The general effect was an elusive yellow
background spiashed with dull bronze gilt.
Elongated lizards bodies fastened them
selves about looping handle of dull gilt,
the head of the animal winding around TO
the spout and the tails curling around the
bottom. Outlines of deep brown brought
out the rich and exquisite touches OF
bronze gliding.

ductiou Of long lines The short waist is
more than ever Objectionable While the
woman with a good figure can wear an
ordinary corset and look well, The short
WASTED woman should endeayor to In
some measure correct her defect by secur-
ing a cut of corset that will lengthen her
lines.
It is rather amusing to discover that in

the best so-called ''bOuing' is steel piano

and forms the ideal bone. II doesn't warp,
and can be instantly Strengthened without
breaking, whereas whalebone warps badly.
One thing Is certain. and that is that the
tight Princess robes require the best made
and beSt-htting cOrsetS Obtainable, in order
TO have the wearer look at all well.
It is a curious but almost universal fact
that the average woman in gowning en-
phasizes the defects of her figure If her
waist be large and short she wears bright
hued belts. and blouses differing from the
color OF her street costume. and the chances
also are that she prefers wide belts to mar
row ones. She seems never to compare
her figure with those having fine outlines
She is so used 10 her defects that she does
not notice them. On the other hand the
too long WASTED woman-and there are
many Of them-pull their belts down stiIl
fnFther and get the narroWeSt ones obtain
