Old Glass
AS a Hobby
Pressed Ware Espe-
cially Sought After in
This Country.
BY ISABEL TAVENNER.

COLLECTING the lovely old pressed
glassware that our grandmothers
used has become a hobby with so
many women, that collecting clubs are
| being formed where members may
meet and compare notes, view each
others treasures, and perhaps even
do little swapping. And If more
women knew what fascinating pur-
suit this is, the ranks of collectors
would be still further swelled. As an
antidote TO that bored, what's-the-
use-of-it-all feeling, there's nothing
| to equal it. One person may collect
| different kinds Of one article, pitchers,
or teapots or whatnot, while another
gets just as much Joy from collecting
articles of the same pattern, trying tc
| complete an entire set.
Pressed glass was first made in 1927
Prior to that time all glassware hac
been blown, consequently being ex-
pensive both to make and to purchase
To the Sandwich Co. in MaSsa chu-
sets goes the honor for inventing the
method. The story goes that a car
penter employed in the plant wanted
a piece of glass of a certain shape
and conceived the idea that by max
ing a mold the liquid glass might be
poured into it. The glass blowers
laughed at the very idea, but he went
ahead any way, making his mold and
a press very much on the idea of the
old cider press. And it worked! From
that humble beginning has grown one
of the great industries Of America. OF
course, the presses now used no longer
resemble an instrument for the max
ing of cider, but the idea was right.
1t seems that the process for press
ing glass was not patented by the
Sandwich Co., for soon factories
sprang up all over the country, and
the great quantities of the stuff that
have survived to the present day can
be explained by the fact that so much
of 1t was made. The best known of
all the glass, however, was that made
at Sandwich, and many people today
call much glass Sandwich that in
reality was made many miles from
Massachusetts,. The earliest pressed
glass made by this company is really
very lovely. and fully deserves the
reputation it has gained. 1t is clear
and brilliant with a metallic ring and
the flowers or sprays are set on a
background finely stippled. which
gives it the name Of lacey" Later
on the output of this factory de-
Perforated in quality, but today every
thing made there is eagerly sought by
the collector.
Some of the most popular patterns
Of pressed glass are Westward Ho!"
Lion" Three Face" and Rose in
Snow" but many other patterns are
just as lovely, and being less popu-
lar are much easier to find. So il
you have fallen heir to one of grand
mothers old pickle dishes. don't throw
1t out, but use it as the starting point
of collection, and discover how much
fun trying to find its mate can be.

both for themselves and the children
in the long run. If father and mother
put the price Of the college educations
and the sport cars and the trips to
Europe and the fine clothes that they
shower on John and Sadie into gilt
edged bonds, then later on when father
died he would not leave mother pen
niless and she would not be a burden
on John, who already has all he eau
do TO support his own family, nor dis
rupt Sadie's household by going to live
with her as an unwelcome guest. John
and Sadie and mother would all be
happier.
One way in which a family can
meet this problem of what to do with
mother is for all Of them to chip In
and give her an independent home Of
her own, no matter how humble. It
would take very little money and It

fault to founder ones guests with
course after course of rich, heavy
foods. The menu must combine ele-
gance and lghtness-which, if the
dishes are carefully selected and pre-
pared to perfection, will stand ever
lastingly to the credit of the hostess.
And now for the table, and all the
things that rest upon it to make the
party setting a truly. lovely picture
Cloths are coming back more and
more into favor-not Just the plain
white damasks beloved by our grand
mothers, but gorgeous and fragile
laces, masses of handwork and en-
broidery, silken damasks and bro
cades in all the colorS of the rainbow,
sumptuous materials-even black vel

set with translucent 'milk-glasS'
crystal, and blue-white orchids! Nets,
combined with woven designs in color,
such as the cloth on the table pic
tured, which is of ecru net, support
ing natural and yellow pond lilies
with pale green leaves, make their
bow as covering for the formal
table. Oyster-white pebble cloth is
another innovation in this line and
is strikingly lovely when used with
square. clear crystal service plates,
and a crystal center bowl holding
two pond lilies and a tall, graceful
figure of oyster-White Rosenthal

yoke with link buttons turn the dress
into a more feminine style. Note
also the pointed cuffs, designed to

For kitchen or the shopping tour
this frock will keep you feeling and
looking the best-dressed woman on
the block. Easy to launder, too, with
only one short inverted box pleat in
front to give the necessary freedom
of movement. And easier yet to sew,
no seam in the skirt back and the
yoke and waist takes only a moment
to put together. In dimity or gingham,
with small print or dots, this frock
turns out to be real charmer.

NOV that the foot ball season Is
upon us again, there are a few
little lessons in foot ball behavior
that We should review The first Is
how to get to the game in LADY,
like fashion if your date is one OF
the college boys on the home plate.
That is, if you understand our SPORT
ing terms, if he goes to college where
the game is being played and you
don't.
Convention says the woman pays.
She is supposed to buy her own rail-
road ticket and pay her own hotel
bill. That's probably because Old
Dame Convention is so jittery about
wagging tongues We don't think
much of conventions reason, but the
rule, We are sorry to say, seems to
be a necessary one Simply be-
cause most college men can't pay.
So If girl accepts a date to foot
ball game in another town it's pretty
much up to her to arrive with her
return ticket, and at least an extra IS
bill in her pocketbook. The lad she
goes with has plenty of other expenses
over the week end. so she needn't
worry about letting him of too cheap.

learned about providing for depend.

for the disposal Of old parents
~ who are not needed any
more? There is no loneliness ike that
of old age. The feeling of not being
wanted or needed any more hurts.
Nowadays children take the attitude
that they owe nothing to their parents.
Maybe that is true. Surely it is the
duty Of parents to care for their chill
dren in every possible way, and it Is
also q pleasure to most parents to
make their children happy and see
them prosper; but when children are
grown and living their own lives, in
their own way, and father is gone,
what can mother do? She has given
all to her children and there is noth-
ing for her to do but wait for death
But while she is waiting for the final
act what must she do? It Is no more
for her happiness to live with her
children than it is theirs for her to
live with them. She would love her
own little place. with her books and
cat and an old friend, but she has
given everything to her children and
has nothing left, so what?
AN OLD MOTHER.
Answer-The only law that I would
advocate for the disposal of old parents
who are not wanted by their children
would be to build a lovely and COM
Portable apartment hotel in every
community where the man or the
woman or old couples could 60 and
have nice little home in which they
could potter around and do as they
pleased, yet have the society of other
old people with whom they could gos-
sip and say. DO you remember?"
n
RUT I think you are wrong in say
ing that the young people Of to-
day do not feel that they have any
obligation toward their parents. Look
about you and see in how many homes
there is an old mother or an old father
being tenderly cared for by a son or
daughter.
Look at the young girls who work
all day in ofices and stores and almost
all Of whose earnings go to the sup
port of their parents. I get thousands
Of letters every year from young peo-
pie who are in love and who want to
marry, but are putting of their we'd
ding day because they have an old
mother or father to care for. 1t is
the exception and not the rule when
children turn their backs upon their
parents.
But you are right in saying that
children do not want their parents TO
live with them. The reason for this
is perfectly obvious. There is, to begin
with, always the in-law to consider
and, strangely enough, a husband or a
wife is nearly always more jealous of
the others mother than he or she
would be Of any sheik or siren Moth
er's influence, Mother says We should
do this or that" Mother advises this
and that" is always as good for a fam
lily fight as a nickel is for a ginger
cake.
A ND, in addition, no old person, and
especially no old mother. can keep
her fingers out of her chil6ren's pies
if she lives with them. She is simply
bound to interfere In everything that
goes on. from raising the children to
the strength of the breakfast coffee.
That doesn't make for peace and har-
mony.
I often think if people saved more
Of their money for their old age in
stead of spending it on their children

in the center. Gold and green were
used in another metallic cloth, with
green-bordered service plates en-
crusted with gold. The flowers were
yellow roses set in a shallow crystal
bowl of palest green.
Glasses for water and wines seem to
be tending more and more towards
simple lines of exquisite gracefulness,
with little ornamentation. They are
usually airily thin, so that the colors
of the wines poured into them will be
shown clearly and delightfully."-.
China also echoes the elegance Of
the mode. Priceless service plates are
being unpacked from store closets, to
appear once more in all their glory on
the festive board. Silver or Sheffield
plates are seen again, and throughout
the dinner the china used for each
course is handsome and beautiful. A
great deal of white china for small
formal dinners seems to be a darling
of the present mode, especially when
monogrammed in black. incidentally,
We saw an entire set of plates in
varying sizes, with coffee cups and
other requisites of the well-equipped
dinner service, modernistically mono
grammed, at ridiculously low price.
The set gives the impression Of being
a very expensive one, and is in perfect
taste)
- IL -
EOR luncheons, or buffet suppers,
there are new ramekins in the
form of beige and brown ducks, which
are fired so as to withstand the heat
of baking. These would be charming
for the entree, and might contain
a delicious baked mixture, such as
deviled crab meat, eggs Florntine,
tiny shepherds pies or any similar
food.
For the cocktail hour there appears
a new tray made of pale golden
wood, bound with hammered chrom-
ium, and supporting removable fat
and ridged sections for various hor
d'oeuvres. In the center stand wood
and chromium mustard pots, salt and
peper shakers, and so on. A handsome
fish of the same colored wood. sport
ing many colored toothpicks whereon
tempting morsels may be impaled, can
also be bought to accompany the tray.
Ice buckets, thermos-lined, in wood.
chromium or copper, slender, tall
glasses, monogrammed, are also among
the requisites for well-appointed en-
tertaining.
Wooden salad bowls are rapidly
giving way to crystal ones, with crystal
forks and spoons, but occasionally one
sees truly lovely set OF dark, polished
wood, with reddish cast, that is both
unusual and charming.

The tax committee met in Frederiksted
on Wednesday, This committee was elect
ed by the Colonial Council to consider and
make recommendations concerning a tax
bill which is before Congress, giving the
President the right to issue tax laws for
real property in the Virgin Islands. i
Secretary Ickes denies having any know
ledge of this bill, yet we understand it origi
mated in the Department of Interior.
1t appears that Secretary Ickes is inter-
ested in the success of the Virgin Islands
Company and, therefore, money comes
through easily for the Company.
The government of the island is in the
hands of DIR. Gruening who is kept busy
with the problems of Puerto Rico Our
affairs of government are then left to the
young men in the Department, our govern
ment being the least among governments
and our people the least among peoples.
The authors of that tax bill have decided
to have Congress establish a system of taxa
ton without represe nation. 1t isbecause the
handful of people in the Virgin Islands are
too insignificant to enjoy the common rights
and privileges of other American citizens
in United States territory.
Our system of representative govern
ment is being changed into a form under
which the governed will have no voice in
the government. Congress has been asked
to pass several bills into law without the
consent of the people of the islands.
We cannot expect the Governor to fight
against this invasion of our rights. If we
were a state and had elected the Governor
he would have been our governor, our
representative, bound under oath to serve us
faithfully.
The Governor of the Virgin Islands is
the Department of Interiors Governor,
chosen by them and can be discharged ON
their recommendation. His first and last
duty, therefore, is to please those men in
the Department who have the immediate
control over our affairs
A situation as this keeps the thinking
people of the island in state of uneasiness
