ARTISTIC ErFEcr IN BLUE GLASS. -
From private letter from Glastonbury
lady we make the following extracts as
to the artistic effects that can be pro-
duoed with blue glass: II have now put
up some lambrequins. Atwood delaine.

panes in the common room windows to
try if the effect 10 what Is claimed. In
short time, no doubt, there will be plenty
OF blue glass in market at reasonable
price. The most charming forms could
be made by immersing panes of clear
French glass in bath OF liquid blue
glass, and then cutting away the blue in
combination Of leaves. flowers, and
arabesques, as is done with ruby glass.
This can be initiated now by procuring
blue tissue.paper enough to cover the
upper panes in q parlor window. Cut
the panes to the size of the inner sash

are on Bohemian glass. could be cut out
OF fine Opaque letter paper, and traced
with white varnish with fine camel's
hair brush and busted with gold bronze.

in white varnish go around all the white
inside pane which you are going to place
over the blue paper. This is to keep out
the water when the window is washed.
Then fasten in the clear glass against the
blue paper with small brass tacks.
Would not this look well on all the up
per panes OF the parlor windows?"-

like any other match box, but it contains
hidden away in its interior little model
of horizontal bar, with Liliputian
figure attached thereto. On being drawn
out and erected on one end OF the match
