Two arched windows en circling her fireplace gave her the idea to originate something ne^y, to keep the public from peeping inside and to add an intriguing touch for her own enjoy ment and that of visitors. After many hours of planning possibilities of covering her win dows, without using curtains, she arrived at the conclusion that she and her husband would set out to purchase some stained glass. “And that is when the work began,” she said. Time was spent searching through the yellow pages of the telephone book, “when I finally came across a man who had contact with a church where I could pur chase some true Cathedral glass.” After purchasing the glass, Mrs. Person became very anx ious to begin work on her proj ect. “I just couldn’t wait for my husband, I had to begin.” Assuming that the glass would be easy to break, she proceeded to cut it in the usual manner by tapping it and waiting for it to break along the cutline, “needless to say, it didn’t,” she said. “Later I found out that in order to break the Cathedral glass, one must put all his weight upon the glass cutter. I wish I would’ve learned this earlier, because I wasted piles of precious glass,” she said. After Mrs. Persons husband returned, they plunged into MRS. CONSTANCE PERSONS’ hand-made stained glass win dow adds intriguing touch to her living room. work, transforming two ordinary windows, creating a pleasant at mosphere, and they also have designed a fence, located in their back yard with stained glass on it. The fence is cedar slats at the bottom, with stained glass dec orating the top. The glass is rather expensive however; for one square foot of red stained, it costs $2. “I really love the glass; it’s fabulous,” she stated, but my best advice to give would be; “to have a handy can of band aids within reach.” Catherine J DRESSMAKING - ALTERATIONS 1724 N.E. 40th Ave. AT 2-1587 MR.
