Local Shop Manager Finds Catering to Others’ Hobbies Makes Interesting Business
Retired Traveler Seeks Unusual Items of All ' Kinds for Indianapolis Collectors; Is Latvian Consul Here.
BY BEATRICE BURGAN Society Editor.
MAN doesn’t have to preach a better sermon nor build a better |
mousetrap to induce the world to make a path to his door, Edward
W. Hunter believes. A hobby
will make a man as sought for, he says.
When Mr. Hunter retired from vagabonding out-of-way ports, news.
paper work and the Chamber of Commerce sec
he decided
he would enjoy nothing more than catering to hobpies. ea always
had hobbies himself, despite a busy | life. So he opened The Hobby Shop, 6317 Bellefontaine-st. Now he says instead of neglecting his own hobbies to help others, he has difficulty resisting the impulse to start new ones. The Hobby Shop is a rendezvous for collectors. Guy Wainwright stops frequently to see if Mr. Hunter has © any new stamps. oe Mr. Wainwright specializes in stamps. He . refuses to accept anything but those collectors call “superb copies.” “Superb copies” are perfectly centered—the border between the design and perforation being even on all four sides. Mr. Wainwright often refuses a rare stamp because it is slightly off center. Occasionally, if the issue is particularly rare and he fears he won't find a duplicate, he makes an exception. If Mr. Hunter later picks up a “superb copy” of the same issue, he exchanges with his client. Collection Specialized Clifford Harrod, Columbia Club president, limits stamp collecting to ““proofs,” stamps on cardboard - or " India paper which have been submitted to postal authorities for approval of color and design. Judge Smiley Chambers, Fred Newell Morris, Fred Smith, William Henshaw, Carl Ploch, Roy Ford and F. W. Dennerline are other stamp collectors who keep in touch with Mr. Hunter. Mr. Smith is likely to buy an old gun, powder horn or Indian relic when he calls at the shop. Old bottles fascinate Mr. Henshaw, and Mr. Ploch can't pass up a glass slipper. Mr. Ford, Mr. Hunter explains, will buy an old plate “at the drop of a hat.” Mr. Hunter says you can’t collect without learning something you otherwise would overlook. Stamp collectors, for instance, knew a great deal about Abyssinia before Mussolini took his stand there. They _ learn much about many remote - countries by stamps they gather. : Research Inspired
“Just let some one start collecting, and before he gets far, you'll catch him reading books and delving into history,” Mr. Hunter said. “Before long he'll hold your -attention with his stories.” On practically every trip Mr. Hunter makes to some remote corner of the state for a particular ‘item, he discovers something unusual he thinks will appeal to collectors. "Farmers who stop at Broad Ripple to do their weekly shopping don’t often come in to buy anything for a collection, but they do serve as a source of supply, Mr. Hunter says. A set of stamps on display in the window is remindful _ of a box of letters in the attic, and the next week one of them will come in with a collection fo sell. James W. Hayman, Mr. Hunter’s brother-in-law, ran a tourist shop "in Puerto Rico after he retired from newspaper photography. He has joined Mr. Hunter and specializes fn art objects. Mr. Hunter is the consul of Latvia for Indiana and parts of neighboring states.

Smartest Fall Glov es Will Be Thin » Supple Kid
The smartest gloves this fall will be “smooth.” There is a definite revival of the firm, molded hand, possibly following the molded silhouette, the molded bust. and molded hips, which will be featured in the August collections. As the high-style leather of the
coming season, Paris consequently is sponsoring thin, supple glace kid. It always has been a standby and favorite, but now it is coming up rapidly in the fashion world. According to reports from Paris, the fashionable shops in the Faubourg St. Honore district are showing glace kid for fall. Hermes and Gants Aris are foremost in the presentation of the new fashion, and M. Paul Chanut, who collaborated with Molyneux on the gloves for his August collection, is of the opinion that glace kid is on the upward style trend. Since three of the four gloves Molyneux will show with his collection are glace kid, it goes without saying that the smartest women in Paris and this country will adopt the fashion. Fashions, as a whole, are becoming® more and more feminine and the glace glove is but a natural result of that trend. Thin, smooth leather is the most flattering a woman can wear. It outlines the shape of her hand and makes her fingers appear long and slender. Color is again a dominant note. M. Chanut is not at all afraid that colored gloves are going out of style. On the contrary, he feels that the fashion will be harnessed to practical, sensible shades of which some will become almost staples.
Screen Star Uses
Gay Kerchief for
Head Protection
Wherever she goes out in the sun, whether it be at the beach, on the tennis court, or the golf links, Barbara Pepper ties one of those large bright-colored handkerchiefs = of either silk or linen around her head to protect her hair. One drawer in her dressing table is filled with these attractive kerchiefs and the squares form quite an indispensable part of the blond screen star’s sports wardrobe for summer. She also uses one for active sports to carry her comb, hankie, compact, lipstick, etc., instead of using a purse. She ‘dumps all these beauty aids in the middle of the square and then knots it up. Barbara has worn these colorful squares as neckerchiefs for sometime as an accessory for a sports
dress or sweater'and skirt. They're:
just as fashionable for -this purpose as they ever were, although this season most of the kerchiefs are worn with the knot in front and the triangle point at the back of the neck instead of cowboy fashion. as they ‘have previously been worn. She also has several of chiffon and has found that after a little experimenting it's a simple trick to wrap one around her h so that it makes a smart little er turban. Furthermore, a chiffon scarf worn as a turban on a summer evening is not only flatteringly picturesque, but keeps the hair dress from blowing. Also -very smart and colorful is the use of a kerchief-turban as the crown of one of those new crownless
| straw hats with enormous brims.

Vaudeville Best Place to Begin Dancing Career, Star Believes
BY LAURA LOU BROOKMAN NEA Service Staff Writer NEW YORK, July 29.—“Go into vaudeville.” That hardly sounds like good advice for the girl ambitious to be the featured dancer of a famous ballet, does it? Yet that’s exactly what Patricia Bowman, the ballet beauty who has danced before more. persons than any other dancer in the world (17,000,000 is the estimated figure), does advise. She knows vaudeville, She has danced in motion picture and vaudeville theaters and musical comedies since she was 14. And she knows about ballets, too. Her classical debut was as the featured soloist
1 with the Fokine ballet in‘a series ot
programs this month. Taps, struts and high kicks are behind for her now. concert programs ahead. Aug. 1 ‘she sails- for London to make her first appearance bef ore European audiences. “Four vaudeville performances a day are grand training,” Miss Bowman says, “if you don’t just do a buck dance on one spot. “There’s all the difference in the world in dancing for an audience that’s come to: see a James Cagney movie and one that wants. to hear Chopin of Brahfns. - Vaudeville audiences usually come to see the motion picture. You have to work hard to win their attention.”
Popular Interest Increasing
- Right now, says Miss Bowman, there's 100 per cent more - interest in ballet dancing in the country than. there was two -years ago. Books about famous dancers—best sellers—are partly responsible, she thinks. So, too, are tours of European ballet companies. It all makes prospects brighter for the girl who wants to express herself on her foes. But she'll have to be willj work hard— “Toe dancers,” explains Miss Bowman (she’s “Pat” in the family circle) “have to have daily lessons— not to improve, but to keep from losing their skill.” She's perched on her. own nimble toes a good part of each day. First of all, ‘and invariably, there is a two-hour dancing lesson—not a practice : period, but a lesson with an instructor. It takes additional lessons and more practice to learn new steps. Since they're a critical lot, never satisfied, toe dancers usually spend hours in this fashion. Add to this
Ballet ‘and |
Ravel's “Bolero” and a Chopin waltz as a part of a regular program of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. When she has time for it, Miss Bowman likes to drive her car and get out into the country. Her other hobby is modeling. She used to pose for an art class, picked up enough technical knowledge to work with clay. Sculpture and dancing, she | thinks, have a great deal in common. “It's all line,” she explains.

Survey Shows That Women Outlive Men
By United Press
an’s life is longer than a man's, the Census Bureau has discovered. The bureau announced that it is a scientific fact that every white woman may expect to live 63 years, while a man, even with the best of breaks, is likely to die four. years. earlier or at the age of 59. + These figures were computed by Director William L. Austin of the
| Bureau of the Census on the basis
of 1930 census figures. They prove, Mr. Austin .said, that in spite -of- all the hazards of modern existence, the life-span of men has been lengthened 11 years since 1900 and that of women 12 years. e longer life is attributed partly to the fact that it is an easier life, to the lowering of the infantile death rate, improved surgical and medical developments, and a higher standard of living. Tables prepared by Mr. Austin revealed that at birth you have a four to one chance of living to be 21; and a three (0 one chance of living to be 50. Your chance of reaching 77 with the security of old-age pensions is only one out of five and only one out of 10 of reaching 84. To put it differently, if you are 21 and a: man you may expect to live 45.186 years more and if you are a woman: you may expect to live 47.6 years more.
