Put a piece of putty weighing about six ounces into a muslin bag so as to form a smooth surface. After thoroughly cleaning the glass, pat it all over with the bag of putty, which being forced out through the muslin, will cover the glass. Let this dry hard, and varnish with shellac or white varnish. If still more time and pains are taken, the glass can be made to represent ground glass almost perfectly. Cut from stiff paper any graceful geometric or other pattern, paste it on the glass, and go over the part not covered by the pattern, as above. After the putty is dry, remove the pattern and paste with water. This plan is especially adapted to glass in doors.
