Dolls OF Famous Women.

1t may interest some of the little folks
to learn about the dolls that famous
women have played with. Nhfn Char-
lotte and Emily Bronte were little girls
they lived in Il desolate section of the
Yorkshire moors. AM their chief pleas
ure was derived from playing with
number of wooden dolls. They We're in
terested only in grown-up dolls, and they
bestowed heroic names upon them.
Charlotte's favorte playtelow was called
the Duke of Wellington. and he had ar
mics of tin soldiers against Emily Ma
poleon. Poems were written IN their
honor and romanceS were dedicated to
them. The Bronte dolls had very eNcit-
ing lives, but their end was not 50 sad
as that of Jane Welsh Carlyies doll
Jane loved only one doll. When she be
gan to translate Virgil she was still very
young: she decided. however, that it was
time to give up doll games. Accordingly
she piled on her faVorite's bed all the
dolls clothes. several lead pencils. a rev
sticks of cinnamon, and she emptled over
the funeral pyre vial of perfume. FL
naly. with many tears, she pretended
that the doll had stabbed herself, and
placing the corpse on the bed set fire to
it. When the flames arose her feelings
gave way. She snatched it from the
flames but all too late. George Eliot
loved her dolls by fits and starts. In
,The Mill on the Floss she writes of a
little girl. Maggie Tuliver. who kept in
the garnet hideous wooden doll, lack
ing a head one arm ana a leg. When
Maggie was in trouble she went TO the
garnet to weep and drive nails into the
fnrlorn body of this wretched doll called
Fetish" Every nail in Fetishs body
represented the fault for which Maggie
mourned. George Eliot confessed late
in life that she once possessed doll
n,med Fetish and that Maggie's behav-
Tor was the true story of her own child
| hood.
