The art OF colorinG glass has been
lost and rebound. guarded and stolen
so many times during the history of
civilization that ii seems almost i'm
possible to say anything new on glass
staining. Yet a modern process for
making the stained glass used III win
dows is q departure from anything
known TO the old timers The glass
first receives its design in mineral col
OrS. and the whole is then fired in 4
heat so intense that the coloriug mat
ter and the glass are indissolubly fused
The most attractive feature Of this
method is that the surface acquires a
peculiar pebbled character in the heat
so that when the glass is in place the
lights are beautifully soft and mellow
