Beads Made From Flower Petals.

The Philippine Craftsman In a paper
which seeks to record what Ia being done
i'll the way of manual training and arts
in the Philippines. 1t would seem that
active life there has, If anything, Jagged
behind Intellectual development, with
the result that manual labor is regarded
as rather beneath the dignity of the
upper classes. 1t Is significant. therefore.
to find that under the American regime
there has been a lively ava kening to in
terest in all kinds of manufacture and
handwork, along with constantly wider
spread of book learning.
A new art rather a revival of an
old one is that by which beads are made
OF flower leaves. The fragrant ylang-
ylang flowers are used by process in
troduced at the Bulacan intermediate
school by Mrs. Adam C.. Derkum Says
the Craftsman:
Only the petals are used They are
reduced to pulp by being ground in a
meat chopper. care being taken to save
the juice that aeeumulates The Juice is
added to the mass. and the whole is
placed in an iron vessel. Daily for at
least two weeks the pulp is taken from
sthe vessel and .reground. The mixture
turns jet black from contact with the
iron. and during this time it should be
stirred at least twice in every "a hours
II it becomes dry, a small amount of
water should be added. AS soon as the
mass is sufficiently blackened it is ready
to be nodded into beads.
In making beads of the average size
a thimbleful of pulp is used. If the mass
becomes too dry to be easily worked the
tips of the fingers should be moistened
with olive oil and applied to the beads
until they become round and smooth.
After the drying process the beads are
coated with a small amount of vaseline,
are put into soft bag and polished by
being rubbed together within the bag. IL
a more brilliant polish is desired each
bead is rubbed with a piece of flannel
cloth. In case 1t is desired to decorate
the beads. the work may be done with
sharp pointed instrument Christian
