ease to almost any shape by means of
a pair of scissors. Two things, how
ever, are necessary for success: first,

better to perform the cutting by crop
ping Of small pieces at the corners and
along the edges, thus reducing the
form gradually to that requiretl-for if

cut a Cardboard, it will most likely
fracture where it is not wanted. The
softer glasses cut best; and the scissors
need not be very sharp. When the
operation goes on well, theglass breaks
away from the scissors in small, pieces
in n straight line with tho blades.
