Collection of Glass Slippers
Could Supply Many CindereIIos
Mrs. l. R. Edminster Began Hobby in 1888;
Has More Thon 100 Pieces, Some $50 Yrs. Old

ioned out OF white satin, feather
stitched in green silk floss. Found
here among the effects of nun
after her death, it was a gift from
an elderly woman who desired that
it should continue to be treasured.
Intended as holders for perfume
bottles. and complete except for
their one-time shoppers, are two
slippers with the date October l9,
1876, imprinted on their heels. One
is in blush glass on an oblong tray
in the f1sh-scale pattern. Its exact
duplicate is in amber glass.
Twin saltcellars are still another
utilitarian item in this collection.
So is a mustard jar with pewter
top. Characteristic of the pains
taking detail which marks the work
of early glass blowers, the pattern
on the bottom of this slipper is
identical with that on its front and
sides. This is true Of nearly every
one Of the slippers in this collection.
Many of the slippers come in
pairs.
Feminine and typically mid
Victorian is little slipper Of creamy
English glass with the date 1850 on
it. and a bow knot of roses for
its decoration.
Perhaps the largest slipper in the
collection is one of Bristol glass
with a flower motif in natural
colors.
Which is Mr.. Edminster's favorite?
She declares, ut would be as
difficult for a collector to choose
between her priced items as for a
mother to set one child apart from
another" She does especially ad-
mire, however, an amethyst slipper
in the daisy and button pattern and
it's counterpart in Dutch blue. Both
are rare specimens.
AS fascinating as Cooley prints, OF
which they remind one. are two high
laced boots also in the daisy and
button pattern. One in white glass
and the other in a red and white
combination with the buttons, heel,
tongue and top in red.
Mrs. Edminster really has a
"Cinderella slipper" in her collection.
The cinderella slipper" was very
popular advertising medium dis

By JESSIE FAINT EVANS.


More than 100 Cinderellas might
find their slippers in the antique
glass collection owned by Mrs Lynn
Ramsay Edminster. wife of the spe-
cial assistant to the Secretary of
State.
Arranged on graduated shelves
against the recessed window across
the front Of the Edminster home
at 43l4 Klingle street NV, the
lovely, glowing colors in the glass
slippers constitute a high light of
interest in a living room.
The slippers have been the key
note to the decorative accessories
Of the room. All of the lamps are
converted oil burners, a number of
them from the days of whale-oil
illumination. Here and there are
rare pieces of Mrs administers COL
lection of star and dew drop glass.
Even the mantel over the fireplace
carries out the motif of the glass
slippers with its quaint. old green
glass bottles. Filled with sand. they
were once door stops in a New
England home.
The slipper collection is so ar
ranged that it constitutes a SYM
phony IN color even on the darkest
day. There are no large slippers
contrasting with tiny ones. for Mrs.
Edminster has tried to keep them
more or less to scale.
Since 1888 the slippers have been
collected from throughout the
United States. Few are gifts of
friends of this country and abroad,
and almost invariably one at a time.
In this way, each one has had some
thing of the joy of a find"
Many have the date of their manu-
facture stamped on them. a number
being more than $50 years old. All
are in the antique class, except two
or three reproductions which Mrs.
Edminster keeps alongside the origi-
nails for purposes of comparisons of
methods in glassmaking.
One of the most treasured slippers
is little pink-luster pitcher about
rs year old. 1t was a gift from an
elderly colored woman whom Mrs.
Edminster had befriended.
Although most of the slippers are
decorative today, many of them
served a purpose originally. In this
class are two matchholder slippers,
one in amber glass, the other in
blue. Both are in the daisy pat
tern, with the United States flag
imprinted on the front.
One Is Toothpick Holder.
Two other quaint slippers with a
practical use are an inkwell in clear
cherry glass with a pewter lid and
toothpickholder in black and
amethyst Stag with beautiful mot
tied coloring.
The only little strays in Mrs. Ed
minister's otherwise all-glass COL
lection are two human-interest
items. One is a snuff box slipper
made out of wood that has the soft
patina of great age. 1t came from
rare collection of English snuff
boxes. BY an ingenious pressure
arrangement, one of its sides swings
out to disclose the concealed aper-
ture for the snuff The other is
little pin-cushion slipper fash

The metal fist is so cleverly
jointed that the movements of
the giant hand are almost too
realistic for the timid movie fan.
Another of the pictures shows
the secret of the gorilla's jut-
ting jaws which open and close
to reveal a double set Of mean
looking fangs. This trick is done
with an-ingenieus metal mask
that fits tightly over the face of
the man inside the monstrous
monkey suit. The gadget is so
made that the complicated alum
mum jaws open and close when
the man works his own mouth.
Some of the Hollywood gorillas
that are no relation whatever to
Gargantua and others of his
fearsome breed. can wiggle their
ears and roll their eyes. These
stunts. too. are mechanical ae-
tions that can be brought about

The photographs on this page
show one man-made gorilla
which Hollywood recently in
flicted on the public - to the
satisfaction of said public and
to the profit of the producers.
The hairy ape lowered over the
hero and the heroine, and all the
other players in the horror story.
But he was their good friend and
crawled out of his skin between
takes" to chat amiably with the
unaffrighted victims of his
make-believe RACES.
It was his oversize pelt, and
the gadgets with which il was
fitted that made him a monster
and a reasonable facsimile of an
African gorilla. The suit, of
course, is bigger than the human
inside it. 1t is built up on the
shoulders and arms-and these
arms end in sets of metal claws
which open and close when the
wearer of the outfit pulls on
some controls with his own
fingers.
One of the photographs on
this page shows just what these
mechanical talons look like, how
big they are and how they work

themselves with the habits and
mannerisms of the biggest and
most brutal of the apes.
Anyone who has seen Gargan-
tua knows what a short-legged,
barrel-chested brute a gorilla is.
He also knows that this most
terrifying Of the animals seldom
walks upright bat -lepes -eF--aIl
tours, using the clenched knuckles
of its hands in the manner OF a
set of forefeet. The human
gorillas of Hollywood have put in
lot of time practicing this
method of locomotion SO that
they may bring realism TO the
screen when the time comes
around for them TO do their stuff
in another Embarrassing thriller
dIller.
If the man-man beasts some
times make mistakes and do un-
gorilla-likc things, there are few
members of the movie audience
who know enough about the
brutes To find fault with the
monkeyshines of the men who
mock them with such dramatic
effect.

FLAMES RAE
STORE BLDG
AT LARSLAN
MIR. and Mrs. Jevne, Owners,
Are Burned in Attempts
to Save Contents.
Neighbors Aid and Stop Spread
of the Blaze to Nearby
Wheat Fields.

The Larslan store and postof-
flee so miles northeast CT Glasgow,
owned and operated by Mr.. and
Mrs. o. j. Jevne, was completely
destroyed in a fire originating
from a high test gasoline container
about 8 Wednesday night.
The loss, which is not covered by
insurance is estimated at more
than S 5000, including a new con-
signment of stock that had arrived
a few days before the fire.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jevne both suffered
burns in efforts to put out the fire
and save some of the buildings
contents. They were brought to
Glasgow for treatment and re-
manned at the home of Mrs. Jevne's
daughter, Mrs. Ray Baker. The Jew
nes' grandson, Bob Baker, who was
visiting them, was unhurt in the
fire.
Was Filling Can
Mr.. Jevne was filling a can with
high test gasoline from a can in
the store when, in some way he
is unable to account for, the gas
oline burst into flames. The gaso-
line was being purchased by Gun
mar Brekke.
Mr.. Jevne Immediately a with
the flaming container through
their living quarters and to the
back door. He was forced to delay
momentarily by a screen door that
opened inward and the intense
heat made him drop the can. Mr.
Jevne suffered severe burns on his
right arm, as well as burns on his
face.
Mrs. Jevne, who was sprinkling
clothes attempted to put out the
trail of burning liquid with water
but it was impossible.
Before smoke filled the building
she, Mr.. Jevne, their grandson and
some neighbors were able to save
some postal records and receipts,
mail, cash register and a few guns.
Everything else was destroyed.
Neighbors Stop Spread
Neighbors helped put out flames
spreading in weeds toward near
by ripe wheat fields. A garage and
the Larslan school were unframed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jevne went TO Lars
Ian this afternoon to make a COM
plete check of the damage. Mr..
Jevne purchased the store building
and stock from Mrs. Lou Chouinard
September, 1910, and was soon
after appointed Larslan postmaster.
He had previously operated the
Oakland hotel in Glasgow.

alton on new discoveries about food
needs and values. Also to be stress
ed will be foods important for nor
NAL growth, development and the
health of children.
MANY know ABOUT vitamins and
many know what kinds can be
found in most vegetables and
fruits" Mrs. Irle continued. But
job doesn't stop there. Many CT
the values are lost in the cooking,
by improper preparation; some
times the most important elements
are poured in the drain. Many misun-
derstandings and food fallacies will
be cleared up by these nutrition
classes" y
Turning toNthe last war, Mrs.
Irle pointed out how many house
wives found food and budget prCb-
lens intensified by wartime ccndi-
lions. 1t is to help meet these
problems that the present courses
are planned by the Red Cross on a
national scale.
Specially qualified instructors,
with home economics degrees and
wide experience, will be in charge.
For Glasgow, they will be Mrs. Flor
ence P. Elliott, home demonstration
agent, and Miss Florence Sandager,

er.
Later, a "canteen" curse for
those who complete the standard
nutrition course will be offered. It's
prime purpose is to instruct in or
%ganization and preparation of food
for large numbers of people.
