Wineglasses of fine make now have
little fairy-like nand-painted scenes on
one side. The miniature scenes depict
goddesses, nymphs and cupids in vari-
Gus attitudes out of doors. A Venus
with long blonde tresses sits in careless
incidence on a river bank and toys with
a White-winged dove perched on her ex-
has a little scene of a Greek mother
fondling her infant, the baby hands
touching her cheek caressingly, and a
futter Of rainbow-hued scarfs being the
only drapery. A busy little Cupid, aim
ing an arrow at maid who accepts
the situation in smiling mood, is another
scene. This maiden is of modern days.
Diana at her bath in the forest, white
limbed and beautiful, looks from anoth-
er glass. Two mernaids, with flowing
locks and cleaning arms, breasting the
waves of a blue, blue sea, is still an
other subject. In each and all, the
design is carried out with careful re-
gard TO detail, and the coloring, both
the flesh tints and the bloom Of the flow
ers, as we'll as the soft tones of the back
ground, is appropriate.
