have a tendency to make the figure

TUE simplest way to describe wa
ter bouquet is to recall to mind the
old fashioned glass shade covering a
bunch Of wax flowers which our grand
mothers delighted to make and place
upon the parlor mantelpiece Imagine
bunch of real flowers instead Of the
wax imitation and the glass shade to
be filled with water instead Of air and
you will have some idea of what wa
ter bouquet is. though no notion of its
rare beauty is conveyed
As the whole operation OF making
this bouquet is to be carried on under
water, bathroom is the best place for
the work. though good sized basin
will do First of all fill the receptacle
nearly to the top with water. Take a
shallow dish which is perfectly level
ard of such size that the glass bell
or shade will comfortably and tightly
fit upon it. Then prepare the bunch
of flowers which is to form the bou-
quet. shortening the stems SO that the
blooms do not crowd too much toward
the top OF the glass.
To the ends of the bunch tie a piece
OF lead or some kind of weight to pre-
vent the flowers from floating away
Put the dish upon which the bouquet
is to stand at the bottom of the bath
of water: then gently immense the
bunch of flowers. arranging them SC
that the stems are held in the center
of the dish by means of the weight.
Now take the glass bell or shade
and, holding it in a horizontal position
put it completely under water. move
| it gently toward the dish holding the
bouquet and carefully turn it over un-
| til it stands upright. so that 1t closes
over the bouquet and Ats down upor
