What reading level is Millinery book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The finished petals are laid on sheets of blotting paper and dried either in the air or in ovens by artificial heat. Making Many Eowers are cut in flat circular pieces with a hole in the center and the petals only partly formed. These are called " slip-ups. " The flower-maker takes a bunch of " peps " or flower seed pods, which come already prepared, and fastens them to a wire. She then slips the number of circles required upon the wire, puts on a little paste, and finishes off the stem. If flo...wers are cut in separate petals, these petals must be pasted on one at a time. When separate petals are cut they are pinched into shape or " goffered " with pincers or a hot iron to give them a natural curl. The slight pull and twist which an expert can give a rose leaf changes it from a flat piece of muslin into a perfectly curved petal. The stamping machine also cuts out, dyes, and veins the leaves. The stems are wound with some ma- terial or covered with a tube of green rubber com- position. There are various finishing processes, such as gum- 88 MILLINERY DEPARTMENT ming, waxing, and dusting.
