SOMETHING TO MAKE.
, A pretty chain is easily made and is sure to please when finished. To make it you want a number of haricot beans, iarge or small ones as preferred. Soak the- beans in water until they are quite .soft, and if you aie very ambitious the beans may be dyed any colour that is liked. While the beans are soft get a thin knitting needle and make ’a hole through each centre lengthwise. Thread them on some thick knitting Silk, making a knot before and after each bead, and lea v-' itig a short length of silk between the beans. Another way is to use small glass beads between the beans in a colour to match them. When the. beans are quite dry again they have a wrinkled appearance, which is very effective when’ the bean has been dyed purple, cerise, or some other good colour,. , j .
