frosted design of little 
balls on stems which

One of the new features in glass, and one 
that is very smart, is the group illustrated at 
the upper right of this page. It shows the 
amber glass in combination with the Vene¬ 
tian blue stem and base. The stem of the 
glass is twisted from the blue flaring base up 
to the bowl section on both the champagne 
and goblet glasses, while the highball glasses 
stand on a blue flaring base. The amber 
glass seems to be particularly popular this 
season, and in combination with the blue it 
is very decorative on the table. The goblets 
come for $35 per dozen, champagne glasses 
$35 per dozen and the highball glasses are 
priced at $20 per dozen.

There have been many designs of marma¬ 
lade jars brought forth, but one of the most 
attractive and unusual, and one especially 
suited for the summer home, is that illus¬ 
trated at the top of page 49. The glass is 
very thin in both the bowl and saucer, and 
the cover is of wood, hand painted with 
decorations of fruit and flowers. These dec¬ 
orations come in strawberries, oranges and 
pears, and the handle is a small fruit in nat¬ 
ural coloring. A small glass spoon comes 
with this, the bowl of which and the end of 
the handle are of bright orange, to match the 
gaily decorated cover. It sells for $3. 
As it carries no cut tvork or any decoration, the little com¬ 
pote below finds its charm in the simplicity of its lines 
and the reasonableness of its price. $1. 6" high
