Individual Stationery.

Individual stationery is notion that
spreads like witch grass in the ground.
Each woman must have something that
is characteristic of herself, something
original, something by which her pri-
vate letter paper may anywhere be
known. A favorite fancy is a black and
white sketch in broad outline, done
with Light strokes, and not too large OF
conspicuous, just an odd bit of some
thing to catch the readers eye slowed
away in one corner. A woman who car
handle pencil has the advantage here.
She will have a thorny rose, or heap
OF sea shells, or couple of tennis
rackets hurting cupids toward each
other, or yacht in stiff breeze, or
blue stocking bending over writing
desk, or any one Of fifty oddities else
heading her letter paper. Girls in
want OF pin money are earning large
sums doing these things for richer
friends. They are never pretty, nor
even tolerable, unless they are done
with a half dozen free strokes, and then
they are some times very pretty in.

Making CoIored Glass.

Where three colors are desired, pots
containing each color are made. A

then a coating of another is put on,
and finally the third layer put on The
glass is then blown into the desired
shape. At first the different eolors
OF glass all present the appearance of
crystal glass: but, upon being heated,
their respective colors are developed.
Then a cut is made in the glass OF
whatever form Or shape that may be
desired, and extends into the layer OF
the color that is wanted, and the figure
appears in precisely the form and
color wished. A small quantity OF
ruby glass can be SO blown as to cover
q large piece OF crystal glass, and
though it is but a mere skin over the
surface, yet it will give the whole a
perfect color. Then the skim of ruby
glass may be cut through. and the fine
