About Glass.

I was very much attracted the other day by a glass tray with bevelled edges. Showing through was a delightful chintz.

I began to think about household glass, and to find out the latest developments in its use. I wondered why glass tables have become so popular, and, from a collection of furnishing photographs, found the answer. Glass tables and glass wagons are specially suited to the small room because they apparently take up no room. Light passes through them and the eye is not obstructed by the solidity of wood.

Table glass becomes more and more popular. Side plates and desert dishes, table mats, a “block” centrepiece with trenches for flowers, candlesticks, may all be of glass. One may even obtain a complete heat-resistant glass dinner-service.

A new concealed-lighting idea is to have electric-light bulbs in glass wall bowls which also contain flowers.
