Az TlFlClhL FLOWERS.
Two New Methods Of Making Them.
Flowers of Bread.

Two very effective methods have recent
ly been discoNere for making artificial
flowers One is the use of bakers bread.
the other is by using the inner pith of the
fan palm of Japan
Bread flowers are made in England
only, the factory being in the west end OF
London where something like 100 expert
hands are employed. The process Is still
a secret and as the flowers are SO natural
In appearance as TO deceive the eyes OF an
expert, it is considered very valuable, for
not only do these flowers look exactly like
the real article when freshly made, but as
the bread grows stale the flowers assume
slightly wthered appearance which Is al
most identical with that Of flower be-
ginning to fade Artificial flowers, as q
| rule, can at once be detected by the un-
naturally bright and fresh appearance they
present after being in the ball room for
several hours, but the fading powers OF the
bread flowers practically insure them
against detection. 1t Is believed that for
corsage wear, for the garniture of even
ing and fancy gowns as well as for house
decorations these bread flowers will be-
come very popular. They are at present
excessively expensive.
The only factory for the making OF ar
| tificial flowers from tne pun VI bnc 'hp"
nese fan palm is quite small affair on
East Bleecker street. The process Is also
secret and belongs exclusively to Mr.. Be
jolon, the proprietor of the factory and
shop. When asked about his flowers, MI
Sejolon said:
eve expect to open factory In London
or Paris next fall. My experiments are
such as to make me sure of success. we
only make flowers to fill orders mt present.
These roses" showing specimens OF La
France and Marshal Neils, "are 30 and ~
per dozen These chrysanthemums and
carnations, of course, are cheaper. AS our
process Is secret, of course j can tell you
nothing about that, only that we get the
material from which we manufacture the
fabric for the making Of the flowers from
Japan. 1t is the pith of the ordinary fan
palm. We employ only few people, ane
our coloring matter and methods arr
known only to them
These flowers Of palm pith possess TO
great degree the characteristics OF th'
bread flowers, the outer petals showing Tn
marks of being handled just exactly ike
natural flower, though, of course, to
, limited degree, since they can be wori
!. numbers of times without ever becoming
really faded in appearance. forl

the veterans could not stand the strain
toward the latter part of the day, yet
some of them were on the flpor dancing
as they did years ago. DLyy Bryan made
