GLASS EVENING FROCK
| A SHOW ATTRACTION j An evening dress made of glass will |be one of the outstanding features to interest visitors to the Auckland A. land P. Show to-morrow and on Satur- | day. j This is a beautiful blue and gold creation, which can be handled and worn like ordinary material, a most unique piece of work. Then there is a working model of a steam engine with crank shaft, piston rods, wheels, in fact, all parts, made of glass. A glass steam chest and cylinder shows the opening and closing of the valves, which allows the steam to I enter and leave the cylinder. The ‘engine is also operated under its own | steam power. These two astounding features were ; made entirely of glass by Miss Mae Kingsley, who is claimed to be the ■ world’s only girl glass-blower, and ! they will be on exhibition in conjuncI tion with the unique exhibition of glass I blowing given at the .American Glass 1 Works on the Auckland show grounds ion Friday and Saturday.
