New Patterns in Cut Glass Are Formed
In Imitation of Beautiful
Flowers.

1t is not usual for new patterns in
cut glass to come in very plentifully,
but the designers and manufacturers
ers have united in a recent effort and
we are shown three beautiful flowers
in the newest glass dishes for our
dining tables. We have the daisy,
with butterfly lowering above 1t in
a most graceful and perfect design
made in various-shaped vessels, both
tall and fiat.
Then we have the Scotch thistle,
which is unique In cut glass. and the
clover leaf and blossom SO perfect in
the cutting that we wonder there is
not a more persistent effort to re.
produce every available flower.
Another and greater wonder is
that SO many housewives are given to
sheltering all of these beautiful dishes
-perchance from the careless hands
of servants-until the mere posses.
sion" of them has got to be mania.

The most interesting announce
ment ever made in connection with
the automobile industry was un-
doubtedly that made a month or two
ago to the effect that the new models
of the White Steam Cars could be run
on kerosene. or coal oil, instead of
gasoline. Everyone at once recog-
nized that the use of the new fuel
would add materially to the advan-
tages which the White already pos
sessed over other types of cars.
There were some people, however,
who we're sceptical as to whether or
not the new fuel could be used with
complete success. and, therefore, the
makers of the White Car, the White
Company. of Cleveland. Ohio, deter
mined to make public demonstra-
tion of the new fuel in the 1909 Gid
den Tour.
From the standpoint of the public,
no test more satisfactory could have
been selected. First of all, the dis
tance covered on the Glidden Tour.

Kansas City, was 1850 miles. This
was certainly more than sufficient to
bring out any weaknesses, If such had
existed. Still more important was
the fact that the car was at all times
while on the road under the supervi-
sion of observers named by those
who entered other contesting cars
Therefore. it would have been impos-
sible for the driver of the White to
have even frightened bolt without
the fact being noted and a penalty in

guarded by Pinkerton detectives and
could not be approached by any one.
