Miss Hentzy and her three bothers
are successfully running a small glass
factory down by the river on the
East Side. Miss Hentzy is a yery
capable, energetic little woman who
is at present doing most of the work,
even to the packing OF barrels and
getting them closed and ready for
shipment. About seven boys work
in the building which is comparative.
ly new, the old one being completely
destroyed by fire last year. Miss
Hentzy makes Opaque glass eggs en-.
tirely and sells about ten barrels of
them every six months to one store
alone. She has about 1000 stores
on her list and also sells to wholesale
houses. She used to sell abroad be.
fore the war-has even sold glass
eggs to Honolulu. Canada still buys
of her at the rate OF 500 barrels every
six months.
1t is quite trick to make the eggs
boys who know Just how can do 1t
swiftly and we'll but a novice takes
some time to learn. A long piece of
iron with a hole through the center
Is thrust into furnace OF molten
glass. A small portion OF soft glass is
taken out on the end. The boy then
blows through the iron rod causing
the piece OF glass to take a round
shape much like a bubble. This bub.
BILE is then twirled in the air and
blown into an egg shape which soon
hardens. The finished egg is then
cut loose from the iron and put into
the blazing furnace to set. Each egg
must be perfectly made and clear. The
imperfect ones are tossed aside to be
melted over again.
Piles Of cullet or discarded glass
from the Monongah Glass Works lie
outside the shop. This glas is used
in the making of the eggs as body
with other compositions added to It
Miss Hentzys father formerly ran the
business number of years ago and
when he lived art glass OF all kinds
was made in the factory. Miss Hen
tzy's father was a quite a genius in
his line and has left his own recipe
for the making of the eggs which is
very valuable and known only to Miss

eggs are sold for nest eggs and also
for ornaments. In samall villages and
in the country many are found in has

TEMPTING FATE" IN LETTING
SHIPS SAIL, SAYS BERLIN

Berlin, Feb. Attempting fate"
is way Germans regard the action of
the American government in permit
ting test ships" to sail for ports in
submarine barred zone. Greatest
surprise was manifested here today
when it became known that AmeTi-
can ships had cleared for allied
ports in face of Gernany's frank an
nouncement of unlimited sUbmarin-
ings. It was gravely remarked that
ship owners must take a frivolous
view of situation in even dispatching
their ships to danger zone.
Americans remaining here are
treated with the same Cordiality
which they enjoyed before departure
of Ambassador Gerard.

The exposition of blouse fashions
for summer is completed, with great
credit deserved by those who launch
he styles. Unless the unexpected hap
pens, nothing new will be added to 1t
and certainly nothing is needed. In
dications point to all white In mid
summer styles as preferred over
blouses in vivid colors that captivated
us all when they made their appear
ance for spring. But, even so, all
white may divide honors with pale
colors and combinations of color, in
fabrics so sheer that they will look
cool in any shade.
Anyway, the dainty, white blouse
will always be safe choice for any
season. Nothing exceeds it for ele-
gance and therefore 1t cannot lose
the allegiance of women. For mid
summer wear 1t is made in silk and
cotton materials mainly, but fine sheer
linen always figures among high priced
models in the most authoritative dis
plays.
A blouse of fine, cotton voile and
one of crepe de chine chosen as rep
resentative of two good styles, are
shown in the picture. Each shows
pretty new touches-where experience
of the seasons tendencies lead us to
look for them-in the sleeves and col
lar. These models are commendable
from every standpoint.
The blouse of fine voile is made with
two wide and group of three narrow
tucks at each side of the front and
hss a plain back. The rather full, plain
sleeves are gathered into a deep cuff,
having a panel of embroidered voile
set in lengthwise. All seams are hem
stitched and there was never anything
Of greater decorative Importance than

"When in doubt, choose taffeta," for
everywhere fashion DEGREES 1t the
Ideal silk for afternoon suits and
frocks and for the simpler evening
dresses. By virtue of the fabric Il sim
Pile suit of taffeta is more formal and
dressy than plain cloth suit and all
the chances are that it will cost less
in time and money, to make it. In
addition to these advantages there is
the matter of color to be considered.
Colors that verge on the insipid in
materials that lack luster, are won
derfully attractive in taffeta.
There never was a material that the
home dressmalSer can handle more
easily or one that lends itself better
to the making of trimmings. The pret-
ty suit of taffeta shown in the picture
Illustrates all these advantages which
account for the perennial popularity
e this long and well-loved silk. 1t is
d simple model with several distin
gushing touches that rescue it from
he commonplace in designing.
The skirt is straight, hanging from
a plain, broad girdle of the silk which
fastens at the side. 1t is finished at

the bottom with ruching of the taf-
feta having a picOt edge. This ruching
tends to make the skirt flare, but it's
ambition in that direction is held in
check by Il narrow grosgrain ribbon
that is threaded through slashes in the
silk, just above the ruching. This APP
parently helps the skirt from depart
ing from the straight and narrow way
of new skirt fashions. The ribbon
matches the silk in color.
The bottom of the blouse, or coat,
whichever you choose to call it, is en-
couraged to stand off from the figure
by the ruching. 1t attains by this
means the wide hip effect which fash
ion permits to those who find it be-
coming. The coat is finished with a
deep cape collar, trimmed with ruch-
ing, and a baggy pocket at each side.
1t is confined at the waist with girdle
of taffeta with looped-over ends at the
front.
white collar of some kind appears
to be always in the mind of those who
create styles in taffeta suits or dresses.
The collar may be of white crepe or
organdiesor even of heavier fabrics.
