Painting Glassware Heaps Of Fun Painted glassware has a charm of its own, and quite cheap moulded glasses can be colored with enamel and made to look most attractive even by an amateur, as the pattern is already there and only needs to be colored in. Jugs, ash trays, tumblers and other moulded glassware also can be decorâ€" ated with a minimum of skill. Use a fine brush and do not take up too much enamel in it. Paint in the incised pattern carefully, and do not hnurry the job. Be sure the glass is clean and free from grease. Keep to simple color effects; in some cases one color only is enouch to give an excelient result, A rim of de!â€" phinium blue round the base of a small jug looks delightfully fresh, for inâ€" stance. Rlueâ€"green and eoral are a hapry mixture for a set of table glasses and look well on the table. Hold the glass up to the light now and then during the painting to make sure all the incised space is colored in properly, and no little spoc}rq left unpainted. Monogram glasses are the fad richt now. Any department store can supply you with a set at short notice. These make an appropriate personal gift for a special friend. Since most of these glasses are plain crystal with frosted initiailsâ€"you might try your hand at painting or tinting the . initiais to match diningâ€"room, kitchen or reécreaâ€" tion room. For recrestkm rooms num=â€" bered glasses or glasses with the names of your friends most frequeut visitors painted on them make novel and appreciated gifts. only an artistic hand can accomplish this without an amateurish look, however. If you don‘t want to take a chance, try a brignt decal to match the recreation room. + i~ charming which arrarngâ€" Carzon THE FORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, UN1A}uO The regular monthly meeting of the Fireside Club of First United Church was held Monday evening in the church hall*®and took the form of a Christmas party. 7 Mrs. E.
