Some bra-slips end in panties - slim, boxer style or romper-like - to wear under pantsuits. There ai- so are pantliners, usually starting 10w on the hips and cnding in cufs band- cd with lace.

Today's bride, cîrca 1975, can have that sanie sparkling glass so deeply rootcd in Amen- ica's past in reproductions of Early American designs or totally modemn pieces. Whatever the bride's style - traditionai and Early Amnerican, sleek and modern, or an eclectie mix of both - a gift of Amer- ican glass is a treasure trovc reflecting America's past as wll as making a bold statement for todaLy's cntcrtaining styles. It was our forefathers' artistry and skihl that A meri«can ber, home shapcd the bistory of American glass starting in 1608 when these settiens landcd at Jamestown and built the finst glass fac- tory. This l7th century glass bouse, as it is bis- torically called, was re- constructed by the Glass Crafts of Amuerica Asso- ciation. According to Glass Crafts, bandcnafted Amer- jcan glass that dates back to the bcginning 0f the l9th century is today's collectible because many of these pieces available iný gif t and department stores are creatcd f rom- molds desîgncd in the 1870s.

The uniqueness of hand- crafted Amnerican glass means that it has been blown or pressed by hand, be it antique crystal stemi- ware, a pitcher, terrarium or candy dish.

Thcse beau- tifully blown pieces. so much a 'part of- young lifestyles are creatcd with an iron blow pipe in the hands'0f, a skilled glass- blower assisted by a gath- erer. As wîth the repro- ductions, modern picces are moderately priced and readily availe.ble. About 1825, American ingenuity created a way to shape designs by hand pressing molten glass-into a mold with an iron form- er. Hand pressed glass bas softly rounded outlines, of ten in eye-catching dec- orative patterns such as moon and star, daisy and button, bull's eyc, and New England pineapple.
