The beaker draws by letting the hot wax flow from the miniature spout of a smafi copper cup, or denting, which is fastened eecurely to one end of a shoot bamboo handle.

It is a good habit to 23o • ,i' The ripening process, which pre- pares ,the goods for abeorbing ,the dyes, consists in soaking and drying it from five to ten times a day usually for a period of from six to twelve days. The dip used is a mixture of peanut sa oil or castor oil said lye made from the ashes of rice stubble. The treat-- nIent, which 'in one pant of Java lasts ga as long as forty days, gives the pusey- willow, velvety foaling of Java batiks in and changes the original fabric, so mg that It no longer resembles calico but to suggests the texture of Sink, Cotton as and velvet combined. Now the batiker starcheS the' cloth with sago, cassava or rice flour. Then she irons it and begins to lay out the design, using horizonal, vertical and 'diagonal guide lines applied with a slick, or merely folding and °reaming the goods as the pattern requires. If the design to be applied is one that she has not yet learned by heart, she bastes the new material on the old batik and by means of the light that shines through the tlVie pieces of cloth as they hang over her bamboo rack traces in wax the outline of the principal ilgeres. The details She MIS in free-hand. When the thawing is complete on one side elle turns the goods over and by maim of the light shining through traces the design in wax on the re- verse side. Thus there IS no eight and wrong side to a batik. Long Tropical 'Hours. The batik maker, even with steady application during the twelve light hoars of a tropical day, must Squat for many days on her pattean mail bei fore her easel to finish a wax painting of fairly intricate design. Of course she waxes her pattern and boas out the wax and rewaxes the pattern for every additional pure color. In middle Java, where the most typical batiks are macle, the dyeing process comelsts of three steps.: the indigo bath, the saga bath for the warm red -brown colors and the creanj tinting of the wax -free goods. The task of dyeing is se tedious a task ate preparing the goods. It may take weeks. The result, however, is color that is everlasting. Batik is a long procees, but when it is finished the Javanese has a gar- ment that after dye years of coestant wear will still be beautiful and, If donned only en festive dam will re- tain Ito magnificence for a lifetime.
