ART AWDÏcTeKCE COMBINED. " 



A beauiiful and inexpensive substitute for Stained Glass, recently 

 patented by a Phitadelphian. is attracting public attention through- 

 uul the country. We nave ordered sufficient materials to decorate 

 a window in our office, and should be glad to have our friends ex- 

 amine it wiien completed. Tills useful invention is one which will 

 certainly find great favor willi ladies, for it presents them with a new, 

 neal and fascinating occupation in tastefully beautifying their homes. 

 We mention the fict ,becau.-e in nearly every building in this vicinity 

 there is at least one back parlor or otlier window, door or transom 

 wiiich needs to be screened or beautified-i by a modified light; en- 

 thusiastic devotees of this beautiful art will be glad to find some- 

 thing; to relieve them from the inevitable and awkward curiain or 

 shade, and it is as a suggestion to our readers that we pen the result 

 of what has come under onr observation. 



The invention consists of thin tough sheets of brillantly colored 

 oiled and translucent paper, on which the designs of colored panes in 

 squares and lozenges, sections of circles and even floral patterns, 

 divided by broad black lines, which have the unique effect of lead 

 liâmes, are heavily and artistically painted or printed in the nmst 

 brillant oil-colors. " By the minute and intelligent directions given, 

 any lady niay at a trifling cost produce the full effect, beauty and 

 briliiancy ofcolored class in a richly stained or jxiinted windows 

 costing one liundred or more dollars, 



.Very little skill, but neatness and precision are required in decorat- 

 ing i\ window either temporarily or permanently and when well done 

 the work is very permanent, 'being perfectly impervious to soap and* 

 hot water frost or even heat. We notice by our exclut nges, that in 

 Philadelphia and elsewhere it i.s being extensively employed in 

 cburchesv residences and the large business houses, which have had 

 " back win-lows" decorated with it, thereby saving the expenses of 

 curtains or sluides and a polisher to keep ordinary glass bright be- 

 sides having a sutt mellow light as it comesfiltered through the co- 

 lored glass. 



This new discovery is said to be superior to stained glass, in that 

 it does not throw prismatic rays upon objects. The materiel can 

 be safely sent by mail, and the work may be done by any one with 

 care. All letters of inquiry in reference to instructions, circulars, 

 prict-s terms to agents, testimonials, etc., may lie addressed to L.
