In buying china it is always wise
to select from "open stock" The ad.
vantage of this, as over against buy
ing a "set" of which only few are
made and the pattern discontinued,
is that your dealer will always be
able tc supply You with the same pat
tern to replace breakage.
"Open stock" also permits you to
buy only few dishes at time, which
is rather an item where the family
is small or the closet room scarce. In
deed 1t is always best to avoid the
lure of ZIP pieces complete" as so
many of the pieces of such standard
sets are seldom used.
There are two grades of table ware:
''firsts" that are perfect in shape, de.
sign and glaze, being the most expenr
sive, and seconds which are imper-
feet in some one or all of these points.

Fall Neck7Cear Distinctly Feminine

PERSONALITY
BY HARRIET

FANCY neckwear is distinctly
''in" aigain for women this
autumn.
OF course the Deauville kerr
chiefs starSed the fashion! No
body coulG resist the allure of
those soft, tantalizingly colorful
scarves that came in mouchoir
shape to adorn the collarless
sports frocks.
But the fashion has been given
impetus by the universal trend of
women's modes toward more and
more feminine things. AS lines
grow mere graceful and shapely,
the collarless neckline seems a bit
incongruous.
And so a multitude of newly de-
signed neck accessories are food
ing the market which in their
diversity of materials and designs
guarantee some sort for every
conceivable taste.
Lace Neckwear
There are silk kerchief scarves
and Powered chiffon ones, long
scarves with printed ends designed
to show ones favorite resort spot
abroad, and scarves with geo.
metric designs portraying futuris-
tic color schemes. The very new
est of all neckwear however. is
the lace neekpiece.
Lace neckwear comes in the
old-fashioned and ever enhancing
ly lovely fashion called the vestee,
with matching cuffs. But of
course it has its Innovation For
the new vestees take the latest
neckline designs and dip to deep

NEW TWISTS TO
OLD THEME AT
THE RIALTO

"Love's Greatest Mistake" a
dramatic tale of New York's WhirI-
ing night life, features the pro-
gram at the Rialto Theater this
week. The familiar theme of the
little country girl, seeking success
and happiness in the great city,
receives a new twist in this pic
ture. and we are given first
hand glance at the rottenness that
finds its richest field beneath the
white lights.
The yarn is one Of vice and Vir-
tue, love. and passion. Honey Nc
Mel arrives in New York to find
her sister, morally unsound. Dis
gusted with the things she sees,
she gives up the fight, discards an
honest love and prepares to sacri-
flee everything on the altar of
pleasure. She falls in the hands
of pair of blackmailers, who
try to make capital of her beauty.
Fighting back, she Is rescued from
her own weakness and the plots of
the blackmailers by the love she
once discarded.
Evelyn Brent, William Powell,
James Hall, Josephine Dunn and
Frank Morgan have prominent
roles in the cast.
Lindbergh, the American Eagle,
again stars in the current re-
lease of the International News.
The boy is a modest hero in the
midst of the ovations rendered by
the people of France.
Rudolph Malinoff and Katherine
Gray score heavily in series Of
beautiful dances. A short comedy
is another feature.
The music deserves special
praise this week. Rox Rommell
and his players are heard in a
most delightful program including
