Many View Old China and Glass Success of First Show Apparently Assures Repetition. BY BEATRICE BIRGAN, Time* Woman'* Pace Editor. \TO doubt, women of the Children's museum's board set a precedent yesterday when they held their first early American glass and china show at L. S. Ayres fz Cos. So j eager was response to the show, which continued today, that the board exp-cts to sponsor a similar affair each year.
More than 750 old pieces were arranged for display by Mrs. Robert Failey. She artfully grouped various styles cf ware together. Mrs. Richard Lieber. member of the board and an exhibitor, spent the afternoon greeting guests. Mrs. Samuel Lewis Shank and her sister. Miss Clara Gilbert, were among t'.e
Miss Bursar
visitors. Mrs. Shank’s collection of roaring lion glassware particularly is valued by her. for it was used by her mother when she began housekeeping. Especially interested in the Stie- ■ gel glassware displayed by Mrs. L. j C. Breunig was Mrs. T W. Demmerley, who is a great-great grand- ' daughter and oldest living descendant of Baron Henry William Stiegel. its maker. In Mrs. Laura Steffens New's lecture yesterday, she described the annual feast of roses, which is a custom of the Zion Lutheran church at Manhcim. Pa., in commemoration of Baron Stiegel’s founding of the church. He deeded the ground where the church stands j to the congregation for live shill-: ings and annual payment of one : red rase to heirs of his descendants, j
Receipt for Rose Payment Mrs. Demmerly last year attended the observance, begun in 1892. The descendant who receives the rose signs his name to the formal receipt in the bcok dedicated to this use, and a notary attests it. Mrs. Perry O'Neal came with her mother, Mrs. J. S. Holliday, who loaned the only Waterford glassware on display. Others who viewed the exhibit were Mrs. George Forry, Mrs. John Appel and Mrs. Bowman Elder. When Mrs. H. Fenzel Howard loaned her horn of plenty china and rare Pennsylvania spatterware, Mrs. Frank B. Shields, general chairman, learned that Mr. Howard assisted Henry Ford in collecting china and glassware for his Dearborn village in Detroit and for another collection at Sudberry, Mass. Largest Group Shown Mrs. William Teel's collection of thirty-five luster pitchers is the largest in Indiana. Three children contributed to the exhibit. Evaline Hitz showed her early marble paper weights, and her brother, Benjamin 111, loaned his early crystal marbles. They are children of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin D. Hitz. Margaret Jameson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Jameson, displayed twenty of her collection of mere than 400 miniature bottles. Mrs. Eli Lilly’s Bristol tea set was admired by the visitors. A table laid in milk glass, owned by Mrs. J. Morris Maines was one of the most attractive displays. Mrs. Thomas R. White exhibited Governor Noble's china dishes, anh William M. Rockwood provided variety with three early glass drug store bottles filled with colored water.

Wax Made in City Used in Modeling Figures of Child Book Characters Work of Miss Edna Johnson, Shown in Many Cities, is on Exhibition at Public Library; Part of Observance. BY HELEN LINDSAY CHILDREN who have wished that the characters in their favorite story books could "come to life," ear. see the next best thing at the Indianapolis public library this week, as a part of the observance of Good Book Week. Tiny wax figures of many favorite book characters have been made by Miss Edna Johnson of the library staff, and are shown in a case at the library. There is Robin Hood, with his hunter's green suit, and his bow and arrow; Kala Nag. the elephant, and Little Toomai of the Kipling
"Jungle Book;” the Three Bears, disconsolate as they examine the broken chair of the tiny bear; Cinderella and her Fairy Godmother, and Alice in Wonderland, standing as if in conversation with Tweedledum and Tweedledee. Dr .Doolittle is shown with a group of his animal friends and Winnie-the-Pooh can be seen in the midst of an exciting adventure. A number of the favorite Mother Goose characters have been reproduced in cunning wax miniatures. Peter, the Pumpkin Eater, and his run-away wife are seen in their pumpkin home, and Mother Hubbard has been modeled in front of a tiny bare cupboard. Older children have been delighted with the replicas of Huckleberry Finn and one-legged John Silver. Miss Johnson's wax figures have traveled over the country, to various library association exhibits. Last month they were shown in Chicago. They are distinctive, for they are probably the only figures of this
kind made in this country. In addition to this, they are made of a wax manufactured in Indianapolis. When Miss Johnson first began to make the tiny figures, she experimented with modeling clay. She later found that she could achieve the best results from rainbow wax. manufactured by the American Art Clay Company of Indianapolis. The wax is sold in Indianapolis at L. S. Ayres & Cos. a a u Crochet Hook Is Principal Tool THE wax is boxed in toy sets for children, with tools for modeling included. Miss Johnson, however, has experimented with a number of delicate instruments in her unique work, and does most of it with a crochet hook which she filed down with an emory board. Similar work also done in "rainbow wax" has gained attention throughout the coyntry. The creator of it is a 12-year-old girl, Virginia Cook, Joliet, 111. Virginia has not made figures like Miss Johnson's, but has created realistic reproductions of fruits, flowers and vegetables. Sl\3 rcently completed models to be used in various stores throughout the United States, to demonstrate to othyr children the possibilities of the wax. A selection of her creations will be shown in the Ayres store preceding Christmas. She has been commissioned by Marshall Field & Cos.. Chicago, to make party favors of the wax. On display at Marshall Field’s not long ago Virginia had tiger lilies, carnations and sweet peas. Even the vases holding the flowers were made of wax. ana Wide Color Range Available THIRTY-TWO different colors are included in the wax manufactured in Indianapolis. Anew shade of blue was produced for Miss Johnson when she designed the figure of Long John Silver, from "Treasure Island.” Color experts at the factory now are working on a different shade of green. No other wax of this 'lind is made at the present time, according to the manufacturers. It is similar to a preparation known as "glitter wax” which at one time was made in Europe, but which no longer is available. In addition to rainbow wax, the American Art Clay Company makes 70 per cent of all modeling clay used in the United States. V
