Table GLASS in Vogue This Season
BY BETSY CALLIsTER.

| ~ TX hundred years ago the King of
England had but one glass drink
ing cup which he priced far
~ above any of his golden goblets,
and though there were a num-
ber of glassmakers among the first set
lers of Virginia, interest In raising to-
bacco was so great that no one both
cred about making glass Though glass
has been manufactured in this country
with great success since the time Of the
Revolution, it is only within fairly re-
cent years that cheap glassware has
possessed great beautJ.
Yet glaSsmaking was carried on by
the ancient Egyptians more than 4,0O0
years before Christ and among the an
cient Romans glaSsmaking had been so
highly perfected that examples of their
work still in existence are thought to
surpaSs even the most beautiful exam
Piles of modern glas making Colored
glass of the most beautiful tints was
made and glass dishes were much more
usually employed then than at any time
until quite recently because of the very
limited supply of porcelain dishes. About
the time of Christ glass platters and
plates were sold for farthing apiece in
Rome, so that all save the poorest could
afford them.
So W. may regard the present interest
in glass dishes and the great vogue for
tinted glass as a revival. And the beau
tiful glass dishes that are now to be
found on the tables of discriminating
women are more like those admired and
used by the ancient Egyptians and
Greeks and Romans than the too bril-
liant or colorless cut or pressed glass
that was in vogue a generation ago.
You may treasure some examples of the
deep blue and claret red glasses that our
grandmothers possessed but / think
you will have to admit that the deli
cately tinted present-day glass of amc-
thyst, rose pink. amber or green is actu
ally more beautiful and lends itself far
better to arrangement on the dining
table than the thick. deep-colored,
stodgy-looking Older pieces.
AT present the vogue for glass is In
full swing and there is hardly type
of dish that is not to be found in glass.
You can buy whole dinner sets, from
dishes for fruit cup through soup. din
ner and salad plates to dessert dishes
and after dinner coffee cups There
are tea sets for both iced and hot tea,
and serving dishes of all sorts Really
there is probably no dish you could
think of that could not now be bought
in glass.
On the decorative scheme Of the So
called modernistic sort glass is given a
prominent position This is because
the modernistic decorator delights In
the subtleties of reflections and the play
Of light that are possible with fine glass.
There is a simplicity about the table
set with tinted glass that cannot be
obtained when figured china is used.
Ornaments used on the tops of buff
fetS furnished in the modern spirit are
frequently entirely of glass.

Buy Stockings
With Much Care

The mere fact that you have paid a
high price for a stocking does not al
ways mean that 1t is going to prove
satisfactory. You should be sure that
it is exactly suited TO fit your type Of
foot, and also suited for the sort of
wear that you are going to give 1t.
The woman who is stout or tall usu-
ally has more trouble With runs in her
stockings than from holes in the toes
Or heels. She probably does not
measure her stockings when she buys
them. She takes the saleswoman's
word for 1t that the stocking Is of good
size. What might prove TO be an ex-
ceilent type Of stocking for small
woman would be quite unsuitable for
the woman who is large. And certain
excellent brands Of stockings always
run smaller than others. When you
find a brand that fills your require
ments stick TO 1t.
It is a good plan always TO ask the
salegwoTnan to examine the stockings
you buy. She does this by putting her
hand through the stocking looking for
defects In the weave. II you always
did this you would not have 10 face the
later embarrassment Of finding that
your stockings had run the first time
you put them Oh.
II you have narrow feet take pains
70 find stockings that are narrow
Often seamless stockings are wider in
the feet than those that have seams
and for this reason should not be Sc
Iected unadyisedly by the woman with
narrow feet.
Always examine personally the size
marks on each pair Of the stockings
you buy to make sure that you are get
ting what YOU ask for.

Housewife Usually
Hard on Shoes

Many housewives find the most COM
Portable shoe for their daily work to be

cause 1t is cool and light in weight and
also because 1t can be cleaned and kept
in condition with only a little trouble.
The question Of heels for her work
shoes is one that should be carefully
settled by every housewife for herself.
Perfectly fat heels, as found on sport
shoes usually, may give trouble. II
you find your feet or calves fatigued
after wearing them. you should not walt

are causing muscular strain. Even
though you can wear high heels with
comfort for recreation and for street
wear. 1t stands to reason that when you
are TO stand as much as Is necessary
in housework, the high heel is poor
selection.
Quite as pernicious as the high heel.

over the fact that the shoemakers are

Brides Should Be Consulted
When Friends Give Showers

Only really intimate friends should
be asked to a shower, and then / think
specification should be made on the
part of the one who gives 1t that the
gifts should not be very expensive. It
does seem little presumptuous for the
sister or other relative Of the engaged
girl ever 70 get I'D any sort of shower
party. save possibly partly amusing
one where guests are required TO bring
nothing costing more than 10 cents.
BY the time girls friends have con-
tributed 10 two or three different sorts
OF showers 1t requires some courage to
ask them 70 wedding. when another
present Is in order.
The luncheon or tea given by the
brides mother or sister TO announce
her engagement ought not TO be taken
as occasion for a shower. II close
friends choose TO give engagement pres
ents at this time they really ought not
TO be displayed, lest others will feel
that presents are in order.

There's many a slip twixt the en-
gagement ring and the wedding ring.
and possible slips are especially en-
barrassing 10 the girl who has had
numerous showers. SO, although bridal
showers have come TO be accepted as
quite permissible, 1t is rather foolish
TO start in with a series of showers
before definite plans have been made
for the wedding.
A reader wrote the other day to
know what 10 do with things she had
obtained at showers, now that her en-
gagelnent had been definitely broken.
She had had no less than three show
erg given for her--a Kitchen shower, a
lingerie shower and a linen shower
with an admirable amount of loot after
each. She didn't even know from
whom all the various things had come.
At the kitchen shower-~to which all
her girl friends had been asked--every
one just placed their contributions.

double boilers, etc, III "A heap on table.
There were no cards for Identification.
She had destroyed the cards from the
contributions Of lingerie, 50 she could
not remember whence all Of them had
come. and she had very fooliShly worn
some Of the things
rs It usual TO return gifts-or should
save them for a possible second en-
gagement?" she asked rather naively.
Perhaps / ought TO ask all the girls
who were present at the showers to
come and look over the things and
take what they gave. I thought Of
doing that but 1t seemed a trifie cold
biooded."
am sorry TO say that don't know
what ought 10 be done under the cir
cufnstances. Perhaps the easiest way
out Of IT would be 10 try TO see all the
contributors within the next few
weeks and suggest TO each that you
would like 10 return the gifts~expIain-
ing TO the ones who gave the things
that had been worn just what you had
done.
A very convenient way out OF the
difficulty. Of course, would be 10 patch
up the difficulty with the ex-fiance or
10 become engaged again-~stiIl one
would hardly want 10 do that Just 10
solve this immediate problem
The letter impressed me with the
Importance Of not having showers too
early in the game--not perhaps until
the wedding date had been set and
arrangements made Some girls would
really rather not have any showers
10 think the friend who lis planning
10 give shower ought always to ask
the brides permission first
