Transparent glass made a big hit with American housewives but the new pearl glass which has been recently introduced in the local market and now on display at the showroom of Frederick Skelton, 200 Fifth Ave., New York, representatives of the H. C. Fry Glass Co., has been accorded such a favorable reception that it has already outsold the clear glass line. And the newcomer is incontestably a very attractive proposition.

The outstanding number in the new pearl glass is the all glass percolator. It it made entirely of heat-resisting glass without metal or wood. The handle, which is made as an integral part of the percolator, is insulated by a special hollow tube which prevents the handle from becoming hot. The compartment for the ground coffee is of glass with small holes drilled in the bottom and and sides which permits the boiling water to circulate freely and insures a beverage of full and piquant flavor. This section is formed of one piece of glass with its base resting upon the bottom of the pot. In shape the percolator has the tall graceful lines of a water or refreshment pitcher and is fitted with a cleverly designed cover, having a patented stud which is part of the glass pot and which holds the cover in place while the pot is tilted in pouring.
