GLASS DOOR KNOBS
And Glass Knobs Generally, in Old and
New Styles, Again Finding Favor.

I'VE are now selling" said a hard.
ware man, mere and more glass door
knobs. This doesn't mean, you un-
derstand, that brass and bronze knobs
are going out of use, but that glass
knobs are again finding favor.
"Ouce glass knobs were familiar on
furniture and doors-this is a revival
of an old fashion. Formerly glass
knobs were produced in colored as
well as in white glass, a light yellow
being the color most commonly seen
in colcred glass knobs.
The glass knobs Of to-day are all
white, and these are made in cut and
pressed glass and in many styles, both
old and new, and in many sizes, for
doors and for bureau, stands and desB
drawers, for all the uses to which
knobs are put.
"Glass knobs commend themselves
for their own cleanliness and they are
also more easily kept clean thar

either old or new styles may easily bt

hands into his capacious pockets and
departed.
Long after the door had slammed
Mr.. Bilks sat with puckered brows,
staring intently at his broken pipe.
1t wasn't the danger of being arrested
that disturbed him. It was his loss
Of caste. At last with a sigh he

evening paper. Once back in his room
