ADVICE TO z
DEAR ANNIE LAURIE:

DEAR ANNIE LAURIE:
/ started going with a boy about
this time last year and 1 know he
loved me very much and 1 loved and
still love him dearly. I was away
this summer and he wrote me let
tiers and I did not receive them.
He started going with another girl
and it has been within the last
month that they have broken up.
He is going with no one at the pres
ent STEADY. All the time he went
with other girls he seemed to always
feel partial to me. I am pretty sure
he still loves me and I would give
anything to have him for a sweet
heart again. If he should ask me
for a date, should I refuse or &C
cept? He has always been very
friendly to me. He is three years
my senior.
Lou: IF the young man asks your
permission to call, I see no reason
why you should refuse him.
.
DEAR ANNIE LAURIE:
What is the best cure for a fellow
that is egotistical?
I am a girl of nineteen and go
with a fine young man of twenty
three. He and I have loads in COM
mon, therefore we get along great
together but his greatest and only
fault is egotism. I'm getting tired
of this at love me stuff"
ANTOINETTE.
Antoinette: Try his Zine" your
self and see what happens. A few
doses should be sufficient to effect
a cure.

FINISH OF
SILVER

Finish has "a great deal to do
with The pleasing effect of sterl.
ing silver. The appreciation of
beauty. so far as both form and
decoration Is concerned, is largely
light. The surface form and the
surface decoration of a piece of
sterling break up the light rays
and cause them to be thrown
back at different angles and in
different intensities. The finish
of a piece of sterling does not
affect the angles of this reflec-
ton much but 1t does affect
materially the quality of diffusion
of light. The effect is similar to
the difference in quality of light
given by a clear electric light
bulb and that thrown by a lamp
of frosted glass.
There are three standard sterl-
ing finishes, the bright, the butler
and the gray finish. The bright
finish Is the most highly polished
of all and, while still very popular
in England, is now largely out
ranked by other finishes in this
country. The butler finish is the
natural outcome of the bright
finish and is today held In high
esteem. The gray finish Is much
whittier than the butler. It Is a.
lustrous silver gray which shows
less contrast In light reflection
than the butler finish Its soft
diffused light Is especially effec-
tive against a dark background.

DRESS PRINT
ART

Until approximately four years
ago, the silk print designs for
dress fabrics offered to the lady
OF fashion were an extremely
dull collection of polka dots,
geornetric patterns and solid
eoloi.s. The styling was per-
formed by, unimaginative copyists
who devoted their energy to
adapting French designs.
Following this lengthy period Of
routine production. there emerged
a new craftsmanship in the de.
sign of silk prints A group OF
well-known American artists pro.
duced the Americana prints. In
creating this collection, they
seized upon everyday articles
such as sugar humps. moth balls
wooden pegs and letters Of the
alphabet to form their designs,
Later a group of eight we'll
known French artists were banl-
ed together to produce .coliec-
lively the Impressions Decora.
tives.p Unfamiliar as they We're
with the medium of dress fabrics,
they sNcceeded in presenting a
most unusual collection Of silk
prints.
Thus. by the introduction Of
the very tempo of our modern
life into silk prints, the use Of
fantastic light and shade, the
daring application of color, the
dress of the American woman is
an important contribution to our
artistic renaissance.
