PAINTING ON GLASS.
An Art in which Americans Have Gain,
Much success Recently.

An Art in which Americans Have Gained
Much success Recently.
Painting on glass Is tho latest fad among art
lists, both professionals and amateurs, who for
merly made n speciality of china painting. The
art came from across the Atlantic. but by whom
brought over no one seems TO be able to say.
Probably some man or woman with n love for
dainty tableware and not an overfat pocket
book, observed tho increasing demand for deco
rated glass. and suggested to an enterprising
artist the dollars and cents to be made II paint
ing could be done In this country equal to that
imported from Vienna and Bohemia. An artist,
speaking OF the painting OF glass for table and
household decoration, said:
~ suppose the main reason why, during tho
last several months. it has become a fad Is the
fall In the prices of the materials used in the
painting. They are now made in this country,
| don't cost nearly so much, and are as good az
the imported. Certain makes of American glass
are as good as those made abroad. American
painted glass equals the finest done abroad In
| every particular, and in the point of originality
surpasses the imported. You will notice n same
ness in tho designs of the Venetian and Bohe-
| milan ware. The same fault is not to be found
| with the American glsss. We seem to have q
genius for experiments, and in glass painting
| as in pottery the result has been most satisfac-
tory.
"There arc two processes, one for window
decoration, the other for table and household
1t is of the latter that ! am speak
ing. While glass painting goes along with china
painting. the materials used are very different.
The firing, too, is different, the heat being very
much lighter, as glass will not stand SO high a
temperature. Tho raised effect on painted glass
is gained either by enamel or raised paste. The
first is by far the better, and right here let me

and the Rev. John Davenport opened with
prayer. A society was formed and q constitu-
ton adopted" The society is referred to as 9

each Of them was pledged to contribute l2ia
cents four times a year to carry out the benevo-
lent undertakings. The society was strictly nom
sectarian and non-partisan. Hero are some Of
the membership reqpirements:
Persons OF u~nblemished moral character

If any member should conduct herself inn

If necessary or useful, and we promise not 10
resent, but kindly and thankfully receive, such
friendly advice or reproof from any Of our mem.
AS no club fights were recorded in all the
eighty years. this section Of the constitution
seems to have been a master stroke.
The funds of the society were used for many
curious purposes; On one occasion a quantity Of

chasers at present seems to be in the fact, that
they cannot distinguish between good and bad
qualities OF painted glass. This fact was demon
strated not long ago by a merchant downtown,
who sold as genuine imported Venetian and
Bohemian ware glass that was decorated within
three blocks Of his shop, and decorated in the
most wrotchod manner with the cheapest ma.
terials to be had. Raised paste was used, and
instead of genuine gold, n cheap composition Of
Dutch metal. That gave IL the peculiar bril-
liant effect noticed on cheap china, such as
barber cups. The. man who did the work, tho
painter, said openly that the paint would be all
gone with the third washing. When the dealer
was asked why he misrepresented his ware, he

amateur to considers; that Is selecting good

away. Many makes OF glass lose their bright
pear to have n milky film over them. Painting
on such glass will never look well. Yes, the de-
mand for painted glass is on the increase, and
will be SO long as people love dainty tableware.
Prices paid for the work are good, and in many
Instances, where the painter has made a hit on

they seem cSorbitantly high. But in painted
