Show DRESSED WATER BOTTLE. NU longer Is it considered modest for the rubber hot water bottle to appear ap-pear uncovered w hen not in use. I.iko the ta toey. the b'-Dbon box nnd the pincushion, pin-cushion, it must rcprcxeut something that it is not, and il most frequently masquerades mas-querades as a doll. Sometimes it Jtiq',:l'" as tin Infant in long, sheer batiste robes which eoor the entire bag, beginning at the nock of the bottle, since tho doll's IcifH are amputated almost from the waist. This is one of the most practical methods 'of dressing a hot water bottle because, the i lingerie robes are easily laundered and the collar of the little dress may be so 'adjusted to the nock that the string snr-jrounjing snr-jrounjing It and by which the doll may b 'suspended from a hook does not show 'from fTjr front ami sides, j Therr there are the I. tidy Washington, 'Empress Josephine and (Jnren Victoria water bottle dolls, showiDg three distinct periods f.f feminine garb. Hollies so ar-irayed ar-irayed may not be hung from hooks, bo-caiisc bo-caiisc the bisiie nocks, of the attached .heads ure bare and a string would plninlj . -show. Tint Mary, Josephine and Victoria jlook very .attractive, dignified and thor-.ouchly thor-.ouchly at ease standing upright on ft wall 'rack, and when the bottle is required all lone neod do is to untie th;? ribbons heneatt the skirts which fasten the doll's kid jtrunk to the water receptacle and lay the leover upon a shelf. Sometimes only heads are employed for water little dressings. For this purpose ithe ordinary doll cranium Is impracticable, 'hut if a girl paints realistically she may ibake a white linen bag to fit rather cJosoly over the bottle nnd then color one side of it to represent ny sort of coun-'tenancc coun-'tenancc she choose. The black mammy lis n favorite because the strip of bright I silk wound about her head makes a tnr-'ban. tnr-'ban. and also eoncenls the fact that nhe has no wool, but daintier fancies are tho jril'tlo maiden with the locks of yellow juj falling over her forehead and the fluffy .hat of lingerie and lace, tied beneath the Ichin with a big bow of satiu ribbon, or Ithe infant with a close fitling iniislin cap secured with lingerie strings. A bottlo thus covercl is necessarily suspended. upside dow n by means of a ribbon attached at-tached to the top of the head and run through a slit in the turban, hat or cap. |
