There 1» much that may be seen by •
visit to a doll factory that would have
for many people the forc e of a revela
tion. Few probably realize what a num
ber of proc-e.-sea are necessary before
even the tiniest of dolls is ready for the
nursery. There is certainly a bewilder
ing number of suitable substunces. Be-
•idc: the various kinda of wax, from the
beat Engliah to the common foreign
sorts, there are spermaceti and various
kinds of compositions; india rubber,
gutta percha, wood and rags, not to
mention various judicious combinations
of these and other materials. But the
beat dolls are made only of the beat En-
iliah wax. Then come the composition
oils, which are much more durable
and some of which have their faces pro
tected by a Chin piece of muslin, and so
on through the whole list It is. how
ever, the waxen dolls that appeal most
powerfully to the effections and the ad
miration of the girls of England.
The construction ' of the molds in
which these are now made involve»
some knowledge of modeling.
The
molds are made of plaster of paris, the
▼»rioua sections being deftly joined to
gether with such nicety as to legve hut
few marks of the joints. Into this the
melted wax is poured while still very
hot, and a thilD film immediately ad
heres to the sides of the mold, which is
quickly inverted, In order that the molt-
•• wax in the center may flovy out. But
although thia rough mask is fairly com
plete in point of outline much remains
to be done before it can be regarded as
poeeeMing those charms which are com-
■aouiy believed to be a doll's rightful in
heritance. The roughnesses have to be
smoothed down, a distinctive character
has to be given to the mouth and nose,
the eyebrows have to be delicately pen
ciled in; and we may well cease to won
der that Shakspeare s lover should have
writteb an ode "to bis mistress’ eye
brow,” when we see the wouderful ef-
feot produced on a doll's face by various
arrangement» of brow and lash. Then
the eyes, which are like beautiful sheila
although they oan be bought by the
I roes of auy color and size, have to be
zed in, which is done by plastering
them at the back with a little soft wax.
The method of fastening the hair so as
to give it a natural appearance is one
of the best teats of the case with which
a doll has been made In the best dolls
almost every strand is attached sepa
rately to the wax itself, while in the
cheaper kinda a wig is roughly stuck on
the uoil's head.
This is a very import
ant point, which doll-worshifiers will
properly appreciate, for is uot the most
delightful part of the doll's daily toilet
the brushing and oombiug of the hairP
Then there «re many qualities of hair,
from the best mohair to common flax.
We have said little about tne tinting
of li|»s and checks, processes which in
volve a nice appreciation of effect.
So
far doll fanciers teem to believers iu
the ruddy hue of health, for we have
never yet seen an "interesting” doll
with checks of the color of under-done
pastry. But it would be rush to specu
late upon the future, fur the new science
of laalc may yet influence even the
nursery and the doll trade. — C' oms U’ s
