The art of braiding and weav- ing such materials is as old a history and this skill has been handed down by word of mouth from mother to daughter. A va- riety of patterns are found, thy close-curl, fishtail, | goose-eye, fishpot and others. It remains for Vi Jane Cooke and Julia May Sampley te assemble from every possible source the fascinating story of this native industry and com- pile all avajlable information in a book, the first of its kind ever published, entitled “Palmetto Braiding and Weaving.” Through painstaking — effort and tireless research these two enterprising women have gath- ered’ and pieced: together the ‘many bits of knowleds from those who know the secrets and the skills of braiding and weav ifig ‘and present this interesting ahd) valuable information in printed form, with each step} clearly and simply explained | and supported by — illustrations so that even the novice who carefully follows these instruc. | tions may become a skilled braider and weaver in a short time. Those who have, mastered the art will find all the materials they need in woods and fields, saw palmettos, palms of many types, grass reeds, rushes. straws and iges from which be made such a variety of s as fans, — pincushions, purses, mats, baskets, hats, vase and bottle cover, shopping ba bannets,. belts, and many other things. The book “Palmetto Braiding ang Weaving” is bee vutifully printed and profusely ilustrated with tbe finest half-tone engrav- ings that show many examples ofthe braiding and weaving art and serve to guide the student with ¢harts and illustré ns of the”ay anious weaves’ and braids.

And now a word about the ‘authors; Julia May , Samp\ey | born in south Alabama, came to | Florida a child and was rais- ed in Escambia and Santa Ro- sa counties. In 1935-37 she made a survey of Florida industries for the Florida State Chamber of Commerce which resulted in the publication of the Industri- al Directory. From 1938-1941 she organized and directed a homecraft train- ing program with the coopera- tion of the Florida State Farmers | Markets and the State Depart- | ment of Education. | Viva Jane Cooke was also | bern in Alabama, locating in | Florida in 1921 at Eustis. As pro- prietor of a gift shop and mana- jger of ¢ m Woman's Market she learned much = of native home craft and became an in- tructor in this subject with the vocational department of the ;State educational s . Later she became manager of — the Home Industries Division of the Hoily Hill State Market. Mutual interest in home craft brought these twe capable wo- together, they pooled their searched diligently information and ve given the result of their labor in this most interesting and valuable work which should have a place in the library of eves Floridian.
