Mrs. C. asks which is a good firing Cone for glass? 
The .022 is as close and reliable as can be found, but is a 
trifle too hard for delicate stem glasses. Cones can be used 
but are a little too dangerous for persons not quite familiar 
with them. For heavy glasses they are very satisfactory, 
providing you place them in the very back part of the kiln, 
where the firing is strongest. 
Mr. I. asks if China Gold is satisfactory for glass? 
If the glass is very strongly fired, the Gold will be satis- 
factory; but Glass Gold is more soft and more reliable, also 
not more expensive, therefore use the proper article.

-£*■ soon as it is applied. You may also apply this same 
color on the stem and foot. Mix now J of Banding Blue for 
Glass with § of White Enamel for Glass, rather liquid, and 
apply the conventional design with this color, solid, leaving 
out the flower suggestion on the designs between the animals. 
Have the heavy line below the design of the same color and 
put one of the same thickness above the design. Fire the 
glass and on the second firing, outline the animals with Gold 
for Glass and have the flowers in solid gold, also the eyes of 
the animals, aud the little scrolls above and at' the foot.

Mrs. M. asks if the opening of the door does not affect 
the kiln? 
It does not, and you should not be afraid of opening it, 
even if the kiln is red hot, because neither the decorated 
glass nor the kiln will suffer in the least.

-T tinted gray in the design* Second Fire: The center 
motif is done in two shades of Lavender Enamel, center 
Yellow Enamel. The ring around the center is Red Enamel. 
Flowers in Lavender Enamel, with centers in Yellow and Red 
Enamels. The leaves are Green Enamel and the scrolls are
