To Clean Cut Glass.

Experts in cut glass recommend the
following as the best method of clean.
ing cut glass articles: Wash the glass
thoroughly with warm soapsuds and
V with sawdust. AS soon as the
sawdust is dry, brush the article very
carefully with a soft brush, reaching
all the crevices. 1t will come out as
and sparkling as a bubble fresh
from the pipe without injury to the
polish.
