Meta Warrick Fuller Sculptures

Once a year on certain specified
DAYS. art lovers from Boston and
other New England cities make the
Journey to historic birmingham to
view the exquisite pieces of art on
exhibition in the studio of Meta War
rick Fuller, nationally known sculp-
tress. On display are the handiwork
of Mrs. Fuller and also, usually, that
of one or two of her most promising
pupils. Fortunate indeed are those
who are hidden to these annual occa-
sions. 1t is well worth the trip, not
only to be thrilled with the beauty of
the art objects, most artistically
grouped about the unique studio, but,
as well, to partake of a rare hospi-
tality which is one of Mrs. Fuller's
chief charms.
A stones throw or two from the
family dwelling-a beautiful, rambl-
ing old house set in the midst of
lovely lawns, shrubbery and flowers
the gift of Dr. Solomon C. Fuller to
his bride-is the studio, occupying a
building of its own. 1t nestles close
to a lazy, flowing river whose waves
tapping against the bank make a

catch your toes under a heavy piece
of furniture then stretch your arms
overhead. Then lift the body to sit
ting position. Then lie back again and
repeat this exercise slowly ten times
each day. Soon your stomach will be
as fiat as when you were sixteen.
For Liver Spots
If you have liver spots on your
face, do not despair, they can be easily
removed. Just get the following: sui
phur water, one ounce; lemon juice,
one fourth ounce; and cinnamon, one
dram. Mix we'll and rub into the skin
daily. In a short while all of the
dark splotches will disappear and your
skin will be fair as it was before you
had them.

her gown. 1 was given a secret touch

ANY WOMAN CAN BE
GLAMOROUS

Any woman can be glamorous who
had a mind of her own, little conf
dence in herself and knows how to use
the right shade of cosmetics and pa
tronizes the right hairdresser.
Men always look twice at women who
know how to be women who know
the value of daintiness, the art of con-
versation, the outs and ms of everyday
social etiquette. Be different, yes. But
don't be too noticeably differentl Be
independent. But don't be so indepen-
dent that you are a wallfower!
And here is my final question: If a
new girl comes to town with a ravish-
ingly different hair style, should you
rush to have your hair styling copy
hers, or should you have your hair
dresser create a new style for you, or
should you temporarily at least con-
tinue with your present hair style2
Think real hard and then do the latter

a copycatl

ribbon picked up a color in the
print and this keyed the color for
the entire accessory ensemble.
Gloves and draped turban of match
ing wine-red jersey added the touch
supreme.
A prime favorite this season, ac-
cording to reports from fabric CEN
tiers, is the attractive cloque organ
dies, beloved because they stay fresh
in that their permanent crinkle gives
them a natural resistance to wrin-
king. Think of the Joy and salts
faction in a dress you can dabble
out easily as a handkerchief, give it
a good shake, hang it up to dry
and presto in the morning a look
like-new dress awaits you. Being
dark in general tone you can wear
it almost anyplace, shopping, travel
ing and where you will, knowing that
your gown will fit into the picture
perfectly.
The two gowns pictured are just
the sort of dark prints that doll up
vaingloriously with versatile access
series. Dainty rosebuds are scat
tered over a dark sheer for the at
tractive dress to the right. The fine
washable swiss voile that makes it
is cut on slim one-piece lines with
smart all-around pleats in the skirt
and repeated in the tiny pleats far
ing the lace trimmed neck. Perky
little velvet bows and crystal but
tons are pleasing highspots. The
beautiful draping qualities of fine
swiss cloque fast-color, fower-print-
ed organdy has inspired the win

you see the new elongated bodice

In glad surrender to a friend.
Not mine, cry
Let me go
And let me walk alone;
But dreams are cold
And my heart is stone!

The redness of your mouth,

Would be released from fear.
The sheltered tower that hid my heart
Has crumpled.

Cool serpent of time,
Release our hearts
And let them flower
Ere life departs,
And l regret your power!
The rolling sea of life
Has brought ashore a heart.
Poor, battered thing it is.
1t lies humbly at your feet
Not daring to search your eyes for

Lest in the movement

Let it lie quietly
AS cold volcano,
But do not affect establishment
When the Spring buds return to bios

music seeming to fit into the studio
atmosphere. Designed in every detail
by Mrs. Fuller, herself, this little
house of art is complete even as a
temporary home for an artist. Mrs.
Fuller says she sometimes takes a
vacation for a week at a time from
her household in this, her own special
province. Through an ornate door
way one steps into a spacious living
room, fire place, easy chairs and all.
Nearby are kitchenette and bath
room while up a winding stairway, the
walls covered with art pieces, is a
room equipped with couch and other
bedroom arrangements.
Perhaps the most unique room is
the tiny chapel to the left of the en-
trance. This, the artist says, she dedi-
Gated to her family in appreciation of
their willingness to agree to the
separate studio-home idea.
The studio proper occupies the
entire rear of the building and con-
sists of the large main room with a
small observation balcony and gal
leries around two sides. In this space
are numberless pieces from large
busts to tiny statuettes, of Mrs. Full
ler's work. One is amazed at the
output seen because the artist has a
ready sale of her work. The writer
was especially impressed with a
figurette of the late Maude Quincy
Hare, showing the musician sitting in
a chair, all the grace and poise of the
subject being faithfully captured.
So much for the home and studio
setting of the sculptress. Of her life
it is learned that she was born of a

Cottons Are an
American Fashion

There is no need to ask yourself,
Shall l wear cottons? You'll be far
too busy deciding just which ones
10 wear. For cottons this season
are as necessary in a well-rounded
wardrobe as are lingerie and stock
tngs.
Paris takes some of the credit for
the enormous acceptance of cottons,
and rightly so, but in the main
they are basically American. They
fit perfectly into the American ideal
Of freshness and cleanliness. Most
cotton costumes are born and reared
in this country, from the planting Of
the seed to the last stitch put into
the gown.

BEAUTY HINTS
By Nina Temple

You can buy a certain kind of beauty
in jars and boxes and it is very effec-
tive, but the real and lasting beauty is
that which comes from within. The
mind lighting up the face and giving
the countenance spiritual beauty can
not be bought. Having the inner
beauty one can add to that by the
store bought kind. So be sure that
your mind is alight and alive and then
you can get busy with the thousand
and one aids that can be bought.

your stomach bulges outward to a full
