Orr's &c lacier" window decorations, which in
Europe is everywhere taking the place OF
stained glass, bringing to the poor mans
cottage the warmth and color and 6ne pic
torial effects that for ages have been con-
fined TO cathedrals, chapter houses or the
palaces of kinge, princes and the no.
bility. BY mesns of glacier" any per-
son with little taste and ingenuity ma
produce patterns on windows having all the
beauty OF the real stained glass
at very small cost. Unlike many
things invented for the purpose Of
window decoration, this cannot be rubbed of
the window or defaced by cleaning. Once
affixed and dried, IL is insoluble in water,
and will not crack or leave the glass under
the action of heat or moisture. Any area of
glass can be covered by the designs, which
admit Of great variety in combination. The
material cuts easily with knife or scissors,
and is made in patterns intended as grounds,
borders, panels, corner and center piecer,
and leads. Mr.. LaGrill, Whose ac-
knowledged artistic taste and skill have
long since secured him the fret place in his
art in this section of the country, has deco
rated many windows which for design and
finish cannot be excelled by the most ac-
complished stained-gass artist. Several
ladies under his direction have also deco
rated windows very handsomely, and with
his push and energy behind it "glacier win
dow decoration" threatens TO become the rage
here. The cost of this luxury" is very
small, so that persons of very moderate
means may freely indulge in it.
