Miss Carter paid Nellie very lit

Nellie was also pretty. She had
dark brown hair that curled in
riotous fashion about her head:

big and brown, laughing eyes that

rather short and very slender-the
latter she claimed was caused by
over-eating at Miss Carriers.
Nellie had Cora Bakers address.

But Does Not DivuIge the
Basis of This Hope.

Ford Motor company are hopeful
that developments in the coal crisis
will soon permit a resumption Of
operations by the huge industry,
which closed down Saturday, Edsel
b. Ford, president of the company,

beauty. Since the present day
fashion in smart dressing is not the
straight sports type of frock, but
the appealing long, graceful line

is the Complementary earring. Ear
rings cannot and must not be
worn with sports clothes for they
look quite ridiculous. Added, how

@. What is thrown pottery?
~ ~ u

inquirer
o. What is thrown pottery?
T.. .. p.
A. Thrown pottery is shaped
on a rapidly revolving disk. The
preparation of the clay is a sci
entific process. The ingredients
ball clay, flint powder, feldspar
and kaolln-are carefully selected
and weighed in certain proper
lions so that they will fuse prop
erly and become sufficiently hard
when shaped and fired. The mix
ture is left to stand until thor
oughly soaked and then is laWned
through fine linen and dumped
I into a plaster box which absorbs
| the water and leaves the clay IN
| condition to be beaten. All the
air bubbles must be driven out OF
the ball of clay before it is placed
on the throwing wheel, Workers
| in pottery delight in the touch OF
the plastic clay as it spins upon
the disk. The thumbs make the
inside Of the object while the eX-
tended fingers shape the walls.
| After the work of art is properly
shaped it is put into plaster box
| to become leather hard" and IS
then finished or turned. The plain
! objects finally are ornamented
and placed in the fire oven, and
a still later baking process puts
on the desired glaze.

ings departments in other banks.

positors and $7,000,0O0,OOO.
Q. DID Robert Ingersoll ever
recant? &. h. 4.

life of man.
Q. Can mating and window
shades be given coat of paint?

shades can be painted to renew

than a single heavy coat.
Q. Why were the ccdars of Le-
banon remarkable enough to find
a place in literature? A. i. II.
A. The cedars of Lebanon

height and strength.

sary of his death has been cele-
brated every year on that date by
his admirers by the wearing of
primroses.

A FABRIC for young and old is
"A wool crepe. 1t is smart and
practical and adaptable for a host
Of things, especially when embroid-
cry is used. In this case, the dress
is Of blue wool crepe, embroidered
in green and brown and yellow,
with a wee, wee bit Of red showing
now and then. Cream linen collar
and cuffs are used with a tiny
black tie.
The pockets, 'twould seem, sug-
gested the design for the embroid-
cry, and tits we'll, for both seem
quite essential for the dress Of the

The embroidery in the back
extends from the under-arm

parallel with the narrow sash belt,
which ties in a smart bow at the
center back.
To complete this costume, .
