Seen on SHAVE.
By Miss Shopper

BY this time. you must have
noticed how important the cape
theme is this season. IL I'M
doubtedly gives a graceful swing
to any figure. provided that care
Is taken in selecting the cape.
For / have seen a dumpy woman
appear even dumpier because
she had chosen a cape that came
around to the front Had she
had her cape hang from the back
OF her shoulders she would have
added height and dignity to her
figure.
For those of US who have to
watch each penny we spend on
our new wardrobe. let me give a
warning. Give a lot OF thought
and as much time as you can.
and do not buy until you have
shopped a great deal. Here Is a
suggestion: Buy one smart en-
semble and buy the rest OF your
frocks SO that they can be worn
with the coat. In that way you
will have a number OF ensembles
and. in addition. the satisfaction
Of knowing that you are well
dressed.

Advice to Girls

DEAR ANNIE LAURIE:

DEAR ANNIE LAURIE:
~ / am nineteen years old ana
am desperately in love. I met a
young man about nineteen months
ago. We had never had a cross
word. He used TO write to me
often. But for the last month he
has been acting very ~indlfferently
toward me and waits a long time
to answer my letters.
1 received a letter from him the
other day and this was what ha
said In the last paragraph. Your
letters are always enjoyed. but II
seems lately that you don't care
to write 10 me. SO when you feel
that you want 10 stop Just say so.
Now don't look at this wrong as
I love to write you and hear from
you" Please tell me what to do.
I am going to answer his letter
soon and I would like you to give
me an idea what to tell him.

correspondence was boring Won.
Since this Is not the case. frankly
tell him so. l arm sure that you will
find ii most easy to strengthen
things out with him. and that in .
short time your correspondence will
resume its old tone.

But morbid curiosity merely excites and
leaves unpleasant memories. We learn nothing
OF permanent value when we merely satisfy
morbid curiosity.
No one is entirely free from some streak
of morbid curiosity and the real difference be-
tween those who give way to il and those who
do not is a matter of will, of self-control.
But watch YOURSELF You may not run after a
fire engine or an ambulance or be attracted when
a crowd collects. Do you, though, eagerly read
accounts Of narrowing or CHASTITY experiences
in the newspapers?
Do you follow the tracking down of a MUIR
der clue with intense interest?
Have you never felt sstonished at the ex-
element you have displayed while reading Of
a criminals behavior before he was hanged
or electrocuted?

there has been a travelling exhibit

The pottery is in the soft old terra
Gotta, or Indian red. some glazed
and some partially glazed. The dec
orations are mostly in straw color
and d~elicately colored flowers and in
geometrical designs with black,
green and yellow lines. Chocolate
sets OF pitcher and tall cups. plates
and odd bowls. some OF them beauti-
fully decorated and highly glazed,
are included. The glassware Is as
delicate and daintily colored as dBo-
hemian glass. Nothing Is for sale.
as II Is a good will exhibit designed
to show US what Is made in Mexico.
Chinese and Japanese pottery Is
always interesting both In color
ing and design. This runs to soft
gray In color with colorful designs
in soft blue. Many OF the fun round
teapots have the wicker handles.
Some follow the melon mould. others
the wide. deeply quartered pumpkin.
The coloring and decorations are al
ways harmonious with the shape. so
the pumpkin pot Is decorated with
pumpkin vines and blossoms. the top
OF the lid Is a blossom and the spout
Is a folded leaf.
The japanese Sedje ware. delicate
green with white decorations. f.
much used for salad sets as well as
tea sets.
Italian pottery is popular with its
yellowish glaze and brilliant decora-
tons. Grapes and fruits in their
natural coloring form the decora-
tons. and though colorful they are
softly blended and rich looking.
Spanish pottery abounds IN the live
yellows and blues In decoration and
the glaze is straw colored- The
shapes Of the pieces are rather
clumsy. the bowls deep and flaring.
