Dazzling and Graceful Glassware with
 Which to Beautify the Table. Fine glassware, the delight of every house wife's heart, was never shown in greater va- riety and more fascinating forms than at present. Since the introduction of machinery into it's manufacture and the establishment of many factories in this country, the cost of cut glass is lessened and nearly every article of tableware is made in such elegant forms and beautiful quality that glassware has be- come extremely popular. Good Housekeeping notes some of the newest and most striking things ill the brilliant displays of leading salesrooms, among them the following:
 Here is long array of tumblers of thick, deeply cut glass, in all sizes and hundred different patterns. You may pay any price that you choose, according to the difficulty of the workmanship but let me assure you that if your means do not warrant large outlay, the patterns in long waving lines with beads interspersed are nearly as effect i've and much less expensive than the more ornate devices, especially if the piece is well covered To accompany the tumblers we are shown tall, slender necked, elegantly cut ca- rafes, beautiful designs in pitchers, and ice bowls and tubs. The carafes are new only in design, but are still very popular.
 A pretty novelty is the individual water jug, which is really a little pitcher large enough to hold two glasses perhaps, and is graceful bit to put by one's plate Some pre- fer the rich pitchers which are called jugs, and are very elegant in appearance. They are in tall, slender shapes, very richly cut, and have very strong, thick handles.
 For choice wedding gift nothing could be prettier than a cut glass ice cream set, in the jewel pattern, with little diamonds surround ing each small plate, displaying the dainty morsel of pink, green or brown cream in pretty contrast In general plates are round, oval or square and of noticeably generous dimensions, many of those shown measuring fully six or seven inches across. Berry and preserve dishes are similar in shape and may be fused interchangeably except when the plate of ordinary shape is chosen for the cream. A pretty device is in the form of a large sea shell and may be used for flowers
 The large, elegant berry dish is an artistic addition to the table, especially when heaped high with red strawberries, raspberries, or thedeeper tinted later berries. Salad, punch and berry dishes are also used for fruit
 Celery glasses are in great variety. The very tall shapes are no longer seen. There is pretty celery glass which looks like a bright diamond canoe in which the crisp celery stalks are laid, and several similar horizontal | shapes which are also serviceable for aspara- gus.
 Flower bowls, or rose jars, are shown in be- wildering variety and in all its sizes. The smaller bowls may be placed by each plate, the larger ones occupy a far more conspicu- ous position, and are sometimes twelve inches across.
 The individual sugar and cream recepta- cles are very dainty and rich. The little pitcher or jug has rather slender neck and is quite tall, while the sugar is daintily be- slowed in aquaint little basket, heavy enough not to be easily upset. This little set makes 8 modest but very acceptable wedding gift
