Glass should never be washed' in very hot water. If a pinch of borax or a little vinegar is added to the rinsing water the glass will shine beautifully.

Glasses which have been used for milk should be rinsed in cold water washed. Brown before they are marks can be removed from water bottles and decanters by Alling them with cold water and tea leaves or cold water and broken egg shells. Shake well and leave in a safe place for some hours then wash in warm soapy water.

If the marks are of long standing try a solution of vinegar and cold water. If this fails probably vine- gar and salt or fine sand and warm water will do the trick,

Discoloured flower vases can be cleaned with washing roda and warm water. Leave the soda water in them for an hour or two then wash in soapy water and rinse in cold water. A rub over with a soft⋅i Tag dipped in methylated spirits, will give them a splendid lustre.

Coloured glass bowla and oma- ments will shine if you polish them with a soft cloth on which you have put a few drops of furniture 'cream.

Antique glass should be soaked in ammonia and warm water for คท hour. Then brush the crevices with a camel hair brush. Now place the glass in a box full of dry sawdust. Leave it for some hours then lift it out and shaké it and dust with a very soft cloth. You will be delight- ed with its brillance.

When you buy table glass you should choose a pattern that easily be matched, and for day use simple designs that cailly kept clean are the best. Good quality glass is always freo from bubbles and flaws and it should be, pure in colour.

It is n good plan to keep a wooden basin for washing glass ware, then it will not get chipped so easily.
