Macbeth's "pearl top" and

'pearl glass " lamp-chimneys
are made of tough glass that
costs four times as much as
common glass; and the work
on them costs a good deal
more than the work on COM

work on a dress is proper
toned to cost of stuff.
The dealer isright in saying
he can't afford to sell them al
