Stevens
New County Attorney Will Assume
Duties This Week
Millefiore, or glass of a thousand flowers, was made in Rome and Venice in the twelfth century. In America, this
Succeeds Frazee
Most of the articles in the case containing glass paper weights were lent by Lawrence people. The list includes Miss Ida Alford, Mrs. S. W. Atkinson, Mrs. P. E. Courtner, Mrs. F. B. Dains, Mrs. R. M. Fitzpatrick, Mrs. C. E. Friend, Mrs. J. R. Good, Miss Sara Laired, Miss Margaret Lynn, Dr. E. M. Owen, Mrs. Dwight Prentice, Mrs. Frank Strong, Mrs. C. D. Young, and Mrs. C. M. Young.
Richard B. Stevens has been appointed county attorney for Douglas county. He is to succeed Harry Frazee, who recently was requested by Roland Boynton, attorney general, to resign.
The pressed or moulded glass is an example of early American work. It was made by workers brought from England and Ireland. Clear amber, blue in several shades, green, amethyst and other colors were used in pressed glass.
Mr. Stevens was graduated from the School of Law in 1925 and was admitted to the bar the same year. He was overseas in the world war and was assistant attorney for a year under C. A. Smart. He is serving his third term as justice of the peace but will assume his duties as county attorney July 15.
Governor Woodring will appoint Steven's successor.
"O Mother! Look at this funny old dish. Why it's just like the one we have at home—the one you've told us belonged to your granny—you know the one I mean." This and similar expressions of delight and surprise are often heard in the ceramics room of Spooner-Thayer Art Museum. A visit to the museum often reveals the history of a piece of old china or glass which has been in the family for years and has not been considered of any particular value.
Graeco-Egyptian Vases Are Displayed in Spooner Exhibit of Painted Glass
Some of the very oldest glass includes Graeco-Egyptian vases of the fourth century, Moorish painted glass, Arabian of the seventh century, and Venetian plate glass. Chinese, Spanish, English, Bohemian, French, Dutch and Early American glass are included in other displays.
glass was made from 1850 to 1870. The true millefiore is made by arranging rods of glass of various colors so that their ends make a design such as a bouquet of flowers with green leaves, or a single blossom with petals. These rods are fused together by heat and are then drawn out to any desired length, the design remaining the same in form but growing smaller as the rod becomes longer. A slice of this rod or of several rods may be cut off and covered with a bubble of plastic glass which is shaped in any desired form, and allowed to harden with the design inside.
This is the true millefore glass, but the name is also given to variations of this treatment. Sometimes, particularly in England, but also to some extent in America, the sliced canes were not used at all, but whole lilies and other flowers, butterflies, birds, boats, fruit, and spirals were made of colored, opaque, white, silver, and striped glass, and then buried in the clear glass. Sometimes air bubbles and flakes of tinsel were added by way of variety.
Paper weights far outnumber other objects made in the flowered glass, but stands, cologne bottles, door knobs, bureau and mirror knobs, letter seals, doorstops, bottle stoppers, ornamental balls, and walking canes were also made by the same process.
More than 1,200 people have visited the art museum since June 1, the guest record book reveals. This number would be considerably larger if everyone who visits the museum registered. Many of the visitors are from distant places.
