Glass for Bedrooms.

Glass instead of china is becoming popular for bedrooms. It fits in admirably with a room done in white or cream-striped paper with gay chintz hangings. There is something unusually dainty about a washstand that has a plate-glass top, and upon which are stood, on crocheted mats, the basin. Jugs and lottles, also in glass. Gl&ss is used for the toilet table wherever possible. The powder pots, large and small, are of glass, and so are the Jewel boxes, with a velvet cushion inside to rest the jewels upon, and the candlesticks are also of glass. A novel idea is to paint the glass for washstand or toilet table on the underside with blue or pink silver oxidized paint, or whatever color you like. The color shows through the glass and makes a very pretty effect. An odd fashion in glass followed by a few women is to have the mirrors of Mack glass. This is transparent, such as is dsed for spectacles.
