MORNING GLORY VASE 
Jeannette Kimball 
THE ground of this vase should be a dark greenish blue 
made of deep blue green one-third, apple green one-third 
and dark green seven, one-third. If powder color is used 
the colors can be mixed and sifted together through a fine 
copper gauze or bolting cloth. It is not necessary to have a 
perfectly even tone. 
The flowers are painted flatly in natural colors, making 
all of one variety, pink or violet with darker markings of 
crimson or purple— outline in gold— border design in green 
with gold outlines. 
TREATMENT FOR PLATE 
Anna B. Leonard 
THE color scheme is Copenhagen Blue, pink, white and gold. 
Tint the darker portions of the design with Copenhagen 
Blue and a touch of LacroixDark Blue. Tint the lighter por- 
tion with the same color, only in a lighter shade — leaving the 
medallions white for the pink roses. The scrolls are modeled 
in raised paste. The jewels are white. It is better not to 
have them a dead white, using a touch of yellow, brown and 
black to turn the white, so that it may fire a cream or just a 
little off pure white. It will be better to first fire hard the 
blue so that the glaze may be perfect, then paint the roses in 
very delicately, just enough to keep the drawing; and put in 
the paste work, then fire again. For the third fire retouch 
the roses and use the gold on the paste and for the outer rim 
and the two inner bands. Use a pale tint of true blue be- 
tween the two inner gold bands. This design will look well 
in two shades of yellow with yellow roses, or two shades of 
green with white roses and white enamel jewels, or Turquoise 
blue with pink roses and white enamel jewels, or it may be 
used with lustres and flat gold, modeling the roses in 
paste.

TO TRACE the origin of the every-day articles of house- 
hold use is a most fascinating pastime and is produc- 
tive of interesting speculation. At the first glance into the 
annals of the past we are made to realize the force of the 
theory of evolution, for our present day articles are for the 
most part developments of crude prototypes. 
If we consider the drinking glass we find that it evolved 
from a most gruesome custom. Barbarians were wont to 
drink from the skulls of their fallen foes. Then came the 
horn cups in which sufficient wine or beer was put to permit 
of the horn being passed from one to another of an assem- 
blage, each taking a deep draught. There were, at first, no 
small horns, for the remote nations made drinking in com- 
pany the custom. Individual cups and small drinking vessels 
were then made of gourds and cocoanut shells, and, because 
they were unable to stand when filled, they were called tum- 
blers, and it was the practice to drain them at one draught.
