Dishes and bowls designed for breakkfast and luncheon service have attractive surface decora- tions in soft Chinese yellow, pale jade green, or creamy white as a background for flower or typical Chinese conventional designs.

An interesting feature of this pottery is the plinth base. Wlllcll is being introduced by Engllﬁll craftsmen in our own pottery bowls and vases. Salad, soup, and fruit bowls have their own quaint flat- handled ladies in Chinese pot- tery to match the Oriental bowl pattern. The dishes are made in unusual shapes, octagon, and oblong with curves at the edges. .________-__

Foster it You Will Find Your Health and Happiness Ruined

Dear Miss Dix-I am a woman of 2'1, married six years to n. man who We live with my widowed mother; who has a l?rge '1 ttie business of our own.

1t is what I have always wanted and I adore it and I should be happy. but I am not. I am so mis- erable I wish i could die. I hear somuch of the depression, sickness and death I don't think it is worth while livilig. A friend of mine dropped dead the. other day. Another one who has always bceli healthy and strong is dying gradually. Our rivals in business are trying to discourage us 1n our ngw venture. The younger generation hasn't a chance. Even rich people are not satisﬁed. Life is just one struggle after another. When 1 am glad, something _ inside of me keeps whispering to quiet down, I am afraid to laugh because I know I will make up for it with tears. Is something wrong with ma, or is the world all wrong?

So, if you want to live, snap out of your depression. Wake up from your nightmare. Quit doping yourself up on your mvn tears. Be a, little I'll-y 01' Sunshine instead of a. wet blanket. Take what Stevenson called "a. brave attitude toward life" instead ofaturning a coward and a. qultter before it.

Ofcoursc, there is plenty of trouble in the world, bllt there is just as much J0y- Ther is just as much sunshine as rain. Just as many things to laugh over as there are to cry over. There is sickness and sorrow and death, but most of the people we know are well and hardy and a long way from the cemetery. Why not give the live wires, the well and strong a. thought instead of concentrating your attention on the moribund and {he crippled and the melancholy?

Nothing istruer than that what we go out to seek we ﬁnd, 1g w; hunt for trouble, we discover it on our own doorstep. If we are always 100K111: for something to worry over. it is right down our alley. There

But you can always find plenty to be chgey- ful about if you will go ~.li a still-hunt for happ1ne55 and are determined to grab it. You can look on thebright side just as well as on the dark side. You can learn to laugh things of! instead of making tragedies of them. You can make the best of people and o: things, you an even put your heartbreaks behind you and go on with a smile on your face so that you will not make life sadder for other people.

Deal‘ DOYOi-lly Dix-We are several 14-year-old girls and we wan: to know why our mothers will not permit us to correspond with boys. We know a girl who had been writing to a. boy and when her mother found it out she took all the letters and would not let licr write to him any ..iore.

' A JUSII‘ US.

Answer:

The reason that mothers object to their daughters corresponding with boys is because they are trying to keep them from doing something they are sure to be sorry for. If Mother could be certain that you would write to Tom, Dick or Harry about nothing except the state of the weather and the baseball games and the crowd you met at the soda fountain she would not object.

But Mother- has been a girl herself and she knows that a fen in a. girl's hand is just as dangerous as a. loaded pistol-that it is pretty lure to go off and explode, and there is too much danger of its wrecking a young life for her to be permitted to play with it.

Mother knows that a girl makes herself cheap when shc writes to a before he writes to her and when she writes him half-a-dozcn letters doesn't want her little girl to do that. Mother knows a boy that she would never say to him in the world; that she will tell him that she loves him and can't live without him, when she really doesn't care for him at all and only writes it be- cause she has to have something to ﬁll up the blank pages ufitli, and it looks grand and romantic and passionate on paper, and Mother doesn't want her daughter to throw herself at a boy's head, or for her father to

And Mother knows that boys show the letters girls around to prove what sheiks they are with the girls. and she doesn't want

her daughter to be subjected tn the humiliation of being jeered at by

other boys and girls,

So Mother is quite right when slhe tries to keep hel- 14-year-old daughter from corresponding with boys. 1t is one thing to say a thing and another to put it down in black and white. A great ﬂirt once boasted that, no matter what she might have said to men, no man had ever had a scrm) of her handwriting. That is a good tip for all girls. ‘

t I Q II i C

Dear Miss Dix-I am a boy of i8 years of ago and will ﬁnish high school this year. My parents wish to send me off to college, but I want, to attend a college here in my home city. What, should be done m a cw, like this? B_ L“ R‘ Answer:

Your parents must have some good reason for wishing to send you away to college, or else they would not insist upon it when you prefer your home town. Perhaps the college they have ‘in mind offers better edum- tlonal advantages. Perhaps they realize that you nced to be thrown upon your own.

There are exceptions to every rule, of course, but, generally speak- ina. it is a good thins for every young boy and girl to be sent away from home to school, because, in the first place, it gets them through the gduj- escent period among strangers and so saves the conflicts between them and their parents that are sure to occur when they stay at home, and that often malkes life miserable for all parties.
