with little cutting.
how shall 1 care for my cut glass?
Is query often asked. The method Is
not difficult and requires chiefly pa
.tlence and deft handling. First, get the
washing water at the right temperature
before laying In the pieces. Two quarts
of boiling water and three quarts OF
cold water give about the right tenn
peFature. Add enc teaspoonful OF am
morlia to this amount and little pure
white soap. Never allow yellow soap
to be used, as the resin in It clouds any
glassware.
Hints for Washing.
Before beginning the washing lay a
folded tea towel on the draining sur
face. Use q soft knitted cloth and have
a small bristle brush. Do only one
piece at time to absolutely insure
against chipping. especially with cut
glass which Is so heavy. Run the piece
quickly through the hot water, using
the brush on the cutting. Lay on the
folded towel. upside down to drain a
moment. but dry Quickly with a linen
towel. neither too llnty not too hard
and new. For special pieces a box of
fine sifted sawdust can be at hand into
which to place the drained piece. let
tho glass be covered with this saw
dust then brush with a soft brurh and
polish.
Tho one bette noir OF all glass wash
ing Is cold. The water must be hot,
the towels must be hot and dry. and
the sawdust also preferably. Work
quickly and your glassware Will repay
you by it's brilliant smile.

would they tell of their making!
