Making Dress of Glass. E.
A notable attraction on the midway

of a glass dress, which is being made
by one of the fair glass blowers in the
GLASS Palace" and when completed
will be sent to the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition, to be held in st. Lonis next
year. The dress is being blown out
Of the molten material by the same
lady who made the glass dress during
the Worlds fair in Chicago, and which
was subsequently presented to Prln-
cess Eulalia of Spain.
In addition to the six blowers in the
"Glass Palace" forming birds, pipes,
ships, etc, out of the molten material,
they also blow glass finer than the
hair on ones head, and weave it.
| Skeins of this fine glass are given to
the visitors as souvenirs. Those who
have not already visited the Glass
| Palace" should do so tonight, as the
souvenir given for every paid admis-
sion, is well worth more than the price
of admission.
