Smart Tableware

An importer Of decorative &C
cessories devotes a display table
to the smart tableware in wood
and glass and combinations Of
the two. There's an oil and vine
gar set. . two chunky little bot
ties, stoppered with walnut, sit
ting on a tiny tray of the same
wood. There are glass marina
lade jars, with lids of striped
zebrawood. And a simple crys-
tai salad bowl has a lid of waxed
walnut and its own circular wal
nut tray. AS a suggested center
piece for a table set in this
sparkling style, the shop heaps a
flat wooden oak-leaf Of some
shining buried wood with crystal
apples and walnut grapes and

Dear Miss Fairfax:

young man for about three
years, during which time I had
to be out Of town 10 months
of each year. we wrote regular.
ly, and he said he loved me and
spoke of getting married, but we
were never definitely engaged.
When came home this sum-
mer, I found that he was going
with another girl, and that his
interest in me seems to have
faded. I truly love him, and
never dreamed that this could
happen. HEARTBROKEN.
If you were not really engaged
to this young man, I'm afraid
you'll have to put on a stiff
upper lip, and show the world
and him that his going over to
another girl has not really
broken you up. If he no longer
loves you, certainly you would
not want to be married to him.
This sort of marriage would
make a terrible mess of your
life.
Perhaps you do love him with
all your heart, but a love that
is not reciprocated soon dies out.
Your chances of getting this
boy back will be much better
if you do not show that you are
deeply hurt by his conduct.

SHALL SHE WRITE OR
FORGET HIM

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I met him on a blind date
about four months ago. We went
out together a couple of times
and then, when he left, he said
he would write. Up to now I
haven't heard from him. The
couple we were with on those
two dates broke up, so I haven't
seen or heard from him since.
Do you think I should write to
him or just forget him, which I
hate to do because I think a lot
Of him and would like to hear
from you. He is 18 and I am II.
WONDERING.
No, I wouldn't write to him,
but just be patient and he may
do so. You might get up a little
party and send him an invita-
ton, so it wouldn't appear as
If you were too anxious to see
him again. You're still young
and ought to have a good time
by going out with other boys
and girls.

These are for the formal room decora-
tions, but now there are corSageS of the

for hair ornaments, too. If you prefer
corsage of sweet smelling blossoms, wear
deep pink bud roses. Some of the smart

trimmed bouquets that are so definitely
for formal Christmas and comingout
parties.
There are so many unusual and fan

will have a delightful time in making
your selection. Anything from a simple
jewel or flower to a band or sweeping
paradise will be lovely, but there is one
we want to suggest for the mature women
with gray hair and you will find it the
most flattering one in lot.
You may have your usual hairdress,
not the very formal high styling, but
the soft rather waved-at-the-sides style.
Then take large flat bunch of open

the beautiful contrast in front, but just

A powerful Egyptian charm,
it took the form of the all seeing
eye of Osiris and was greatly
respected.
A lapis is an Asiatic gem
from the district of Afghani-
stan, where the oldest and most
famous mines are located.
Persia, Mesopotamia, Syria
and Egypt all obtained material
from this center.

lapis was ground to powder and
furnished the pigment, known
as ultramariQe, for fine oil
points.

lapis lazuli comes from Siberia
and is known as Russian or ST.
berian Lapis.
Lapis is used for modern jew.

Manners

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
My mother says that when a
young lady asks a young man to
accompany her to any affair
where it is necessary to buy
tickets dinner dance or club or
hotel, or theater party) the
young lady should pay for the
tickets. other young ladies
have questioned this. They say
modern usage deems it proper
for the young men to pay for
the tickets. If so, how can one
handle this without embarrass-
ment? H.
Your mothers point of view
about this question is the cor
rect and sound one. When a
young lady gives an invitation
Of this kind, she elects herself
the hostess, and therefore, to
be consistent, she should carry
out the obligations that she as
sumes by her invitation. The
first and chief obligation is the
purchase Of the tickets.
Usually this kind of invita-
ton is to a dinner or dance or
some other form of entertain
ment given by the girls club or
sorority, or to a prom given
by her class in school or college,
or to a party Of some kind given
by a charitable organization in
which she is interested. It is
obvious that in these cases the
girl would be expected to buy
the tickets for the partner"
whom she invites.
Usually, too, the young man
whom she invites to go with
her to this party is a man
whom she knows very well, and
who probably has given her
many instances of his hospital.
