Origin of the Silver Lustre or Mercury Glass The so-called early American Silver lustre or mercury glass really oiiginated in Haida, Czecho-slovakia (at that time Austria) about 1658. At that period, real silverware was much in use among thf better class of people in the form of goblets glasses, bowls and candlesticks. A poor and obscure glass blower took some of his spare time experimenting with glass, and finally met with success when he perfected this double layer glass wtih the silver coating inside. He turned out to be a very rich man after this discovery The new silver glass was used everywhere as a cheap substitute for real silverware, in fact a great deal of it reached even as far as the Orient When the middle classes of Europe started to migrate to the new continent, they brought among their belongings a good many pieces of the silver lustre glass. These first settlers eventually became the aristocracy of America. Hence the name old American silver lustre glass. In years to pass,., its popularity naturally died out, and the existing ptec?4 got to bo real antiques of good value. < Through all the years up to the'present time, it has been manufactured on n small scale, but it is now again reaching a peak in populartiy. liethune News Notes Told by Correspondent licthutye, S.

Goodale's Shop GIFTS DRAPERIES FURNITURE To. one who has noted how completely Nature changes the ' decoration of her home each autumn there can be scant surprise that human houses should go through annual transformations ! sometimes quite as great. The summer curtains of the trees are j | stripped away, the slip-covers of la*wn and flower border are taken off and stored until such time as warm weather^shall return. Why should not we, too, alter the inward appearance of our abode? Whether in Nature or in Man, there is need of this periodic ] change. The tropics, green from year's end to year's end, grow deadly monotonous. Colors and forms can pall rto less than foods. Let them not become too habitual. CATHERINE H.
