KANSAS GIRLS MAKE DISHES
University co-Eds Serve Tea to Callers
From Homemade Cups and
Saucers.

Not many girls have had the unique
pleasure of serving tea at their an
nouncement parties from tea sets
made by their own hands from native
clay. The first Kansas girl to do this
was Miss Lucille Kreider of Law
renee, who graduated last year from
the School of Fine Arts at the State
University. Miss Kreider modelled
her three-piece set entirely by hand,
as the potters wheel in use at the time
would not turn pieces of the desired
thinness. Since then, facilities for the
finest work have been installed in the
clay laboratories in Haworth Hall.
Two years ago Mr.. Paul Teetor took
charge of the clay working at the Uni
versity of Kansas, and at once began
survey of Kansas soils with the aim
O. discovering clay suitable for cere-
mic purposes. Near Ellsworth he
found deposits Of very good pottery
clay that made excellent brick and tile.
Art students at the University used it
for modelling and made from it a var
iety of dishes and the like. It's only
defect was that the glaze would crack
in fine lines in spite of every precau-
ticn.
More than one Lawrence bride has
set up housekeeping with dishes,
vases, candle sticks, jardinieres and
other useful and ornamental objects of
her own manufacture, doubly dear on
that account
