OU HAVK probably prc
tected yourself, through in
surance. against loss o
damage to your furnitur
by fire, but have you takei
any measures to safeguard you
cherished tables, desks, and ehiffo
uiers against other and more subth
enemies that menace them ever:
day in the year?
How many womeu have found
upon the departure of a week-em
guest, that the lovely surface of at
Empire dressing table has beei
marred forever by a livid statu lef
by an overturned bottle of lotion
How many table and bureau edges
have been charred by careless cig
arette smokers! And the dislig
uring white rings left by wet glasses
on gleaming walnut or mahogany!
The ink spots on your desk’s pol
ished surface! The number of suet
tragedies is legion.

Plate Glass Covers
Few Insurance policies will pro
tect you from the effects upon your
furniture of spilled cosmetics, fly
ing blobs of ink, or the demon
cigarette. Yet you are not helpless
before the attacks of these agents
of destruction No cosmetic can
stain the surface of a table if it is
a covered with plate glass Ink can
' always be wiped off the plate glass
r cover of a desk On a chiffonier
cover of plate glass, a cigarette can
, burn along to its heart’s content
, without inflicting the slightest dam
age upon the chiffouier.
And of almost equal importance
j from the point of view of the
( woman who wants her home to be
( the last word in good taste and
( the art of the interior decorator,
the lustre and perfect clarity of
plate glass accentuate\ the beauty
i
of the finish and the grain of the
wood.
Hotels were the first to discover
the value of plate glass as fur
niture insurance. Hotel guests are
notoriously careless, and In the
days when the furniture lay bare
to all the perils of stain and scratch
the expense of repairing the more
or less serious ravages ran into the
thousands of dollars in the course
of a year.
The home has lagged behind the
hotel in the use of plate glass to
guard and at the same time add to
the beauty of those pieces of furni
ture whose gleaming surfaces are
exposed to damage. But today, in
the most modern homes, you will
find plate glass on articles of furni
ture ranging from the table at
which the family dines to the dress
ing table before which the mystic
rites of the feminine toilet are per
formed
Easy To Arrange For
There is nothing complicated
about the process involved in mak
iug your furniture proof agains;
corroding cosmetics, smouldering
cigarettes, and the other foes
which war upon it. Measure the
surfaces to be covered, take the
measurements to a competent g!a
zier, and have him cut and de
liver the glass. Then, in placing
the glass, use small disks of felt to
maintain a slight space between
the glass and the wood.
Both as a guardian of fine furui
ture and as a symbol of good taste
plate glass will appeal to every
woman who takes a just pride in
the atmosphere of her home and
the spotless perfection of every ar
ticle within it. The cost of the
plate glass Is negligible In propor
tlon to the advantages afforded by
its use.
