When installed under the sill, 
it’8 as unobtrusive as a key hole. 
Installed above the sill, the screen 
need not be touched when the window 
is opened or closed. 
Silencing 
Casement 
Windows 
Art has won your appreciation of outswung case¬ 
ment windows. 
But how often in the night has their banging dis¬ 
turbed your repose? 
How do you control them when the winds of an 
approaching storm start them slamming? 
With the Monarch Control-Locks, these windows 
are held absolutely firm in any position—tightly 
closed, wide open or at any angle in between. 
Each sash is operated by a neat little handle on 
the inside. Raise it, and the sash is free to 
swing; turn it down, and the sash is locked. 
Screens, curtains, pot flowers—none of them are 
disturbed in the least. 
There is nothing about the hardware to get out 
of order. 
A distinct charm pervades the whole house with 
casement windows silenced. 
If your dealer doesn’t handle Monarch 
send us his name. We’ll mail both 
of you full information and prices.

CASEMENT WINDOW HARDWARE 
Early American Glass 
( Continued, from page 74) 
ket, owing to the fact that an actual 
house-to-house canvass of the districts 
adjacent to these early factories has 
been made and most of the pieces ac¬ 
quired have already found their way 
into the hands of the collectors. Oc¬ 
casional pieces appearing find ready sale 
at high figures. 
Steigel glass is very delicate, light in 
weight, and beautiful in color. Besides 
the plain glass, there are many pieces 
finely engraved and also others beauti¬ 
fully enameled in colors. Steigel glass 
is distinguished as the only early Ameri¬ 
can glass that is enameled in colors, 
many of which are highly effective. 
Millville glass manufactured in Mill¬ 
ville, N. J., during the first half of the 
19th Century is heavier in make than 
Steigel and generally streaked with 
opaque white or other colors. It fol¬ 
lows somewhat the designs of the earlier 
Wistarburg factory. 
But the Wistarburg glass is the great 
glory of all American glass. It is sturdy 
and strong, beautiful in its single colors, 
sometimes streaked or flecked with other 
colors. With its royal blue and greens 
of the sea, with its amber-like golden 
topaz and deep olive green shading to 
blue like deep pools of water where 
spruce and cedars grow, it rivals in 
beauty any glass made in any country 
of the world. 
There are indeed many sorts and con¬ 
ditions of objects whose appeal to the 
born collector cannot be denied. It is 
far from my purpose to decry the gath¬ 
ering together of foreign things, for to 
many of them attaches an interest no¬ 
where else to be found. But there is a 
peculiar appeal in the old-time products 
of one’s own country. The knowledge 
that this old glass of which we have 
been talking is essentially American, un¬ 
changeably an output of American 
hands and thought and taste, gives it 
an especial attraction. Let us do what 
we can to insure its preservation as an 
enduring expression of the art which 
America knew in the earlier days of 
her establishment. 
The Way They Do It Now 
(Continued from page 49) 
cinerator is insulated to keep in the 
heat, else Sonya would go out to the 
movies and never return. As a rule, fire 
bricks, vitrified clay or sometimes metal 
(in the portable types) are used as lin¬ 
ing, not only because they prevent the 
heat from escaping into the room but 
because they are impervious to the tre¬ 
mendous attack of the chemical sub¬ 
stances released in combustion. 
Portable Incinerators 
These portable incinerators are of 
various sizes. There is the capable dwarf 
who stands only 30" high, with 15" for 
his other two measurements. His appe¬ 
tite is insatiable and he will eat a bushel 
at a time. His cost at present would be 
in the neighborhood of $70, but who 
can tell whether a rise in the price of 
Siam rubies or Tibetan lambskins next 
week may not dis-stabilize the incinera¬ 
tor market ? Other portable incinerators 
range in size up to the tallest of the fam¬ 
ily 64" high, and 31" 34" wide and deep. 
These incinerators are all built of heavy 
serviceable castings, brass and sheet 
steel, well-lined and insulated. The 
grates are removable, and there is noth¬ 
ing that can put out of order. 
We have recorded the fact that the 
lady in question deigns to be pleased 
with her mistress for her policy in re¬ 
garbage. We have also to add that His 
Majesty the Medical Health Officer 
would be equally affable if he could get 
his troubled mind off the few odd mil¬ 
lions of his fellow-townsmen who still 
cling to the old per-Rastus methods. 
For the one created thing that the fear¬ 
less M. H. O. really cringes before is 
the blood-thirsty house-fly, and—the 
house-fly dines on garbage by prefer¬ 
ence, before he walks across the baby’s 
face. 
That the fly costs the United States 
of America $350,000,000 a year is serious 
enough. The M. H. O., however, doesn’t 
reckon primarily in dollars, but in death 
rates. And the number of times that 
the fly puts the crape on the tenement 
house door is one of the tragedies of the 
big city everywhere. The Health De¬ 
partment assures us that the fly is re¬ 
sponsible for nearly ninety per cent, of 
intestinal and typhoid fever cases. If 
all the landlords swatted the fly with an 
incinerator—there would be fewer flies 
and more babies. 
Common Sense and Incinerators 
Quite likely Miss Effie’s great-grand¬ 
daughter doesn’t realize that she’s as¬ 
sisting the M. H. O. when she burns her 
garbage. With her, civic righteousness 
is just a by-product of common sense. 
She’s merely living life in accordance 
with the age, just as they did in those 
leisurely days back in the big white 
house, and she would no more think of 
re-installing the garbage man and the 
garbage can, than she’d think of keeping 
Lion and Tiger and the well-sweep in a 
ten-roomed apartment 1 •

of delicately colored china with a gilded 
top and base. In the pockets around the 
inkwell are candle, seal, sealing wax and 
quill pen. The price is $25. Quill pen 
in any color, $1.50 extra. This comes a 
trifle smaller without the pocket of shot 
for $18. 
(2) From the same shop comes a pair 
of candle lamps about 13" high in an¬ 
tique ivory finish faintly decorated with 
old rose or delicate blue. They would be 
excellent for a dressing table and are $15

harmonize in coloring are made over 
silk with the design of flowers cut out 
of the parchment. $15 each. 
(3) The breakfast tray illustrated 
comes in white enamel wicker with a 
collapsible stand that folds flat. It has

flowers set in an oval black medalion in 
the center of each piece. Set consists of 
six cups and saucers, chocolate pot and
