Qneon 2lcto11;a 5 Dolls.
A Quaint Collection Containing Reproductions
of Historical Personages.

4 servant runlua sing in one OF the gar
rets of buckingham Palace some years
ago found d number of dolls which were
dressed by Queen Victoria when she was
a little girl. The discovery OF this col
lection OF old-fashioned dollcs caused
quite an excitement at Osborne. where the
news was speedily sent. The Queen at
once telegraphed to have the dolls all
seated on chairs and sofas and photo
graphed and the pictures sent down to
her at once. She derived q great deal
of satisfaction from these quaint memoir
ials OF her childhood.
Some OF the dolls had been made by the
Queen herself when she was only the lit
tie Princess Victoria. The bodies were
fashioned in the usual way and the reSu-
lation china head attached. Many of
them, however. We're the quaint jointed
wooden dolls that few children of the
present day have seen, but that their
grandmothers remember.
Some OF the dolls, which are now in the
Kensinston Museum, in London. are dress
ed in old Flemish costumes. in which red
and yellow predominant, and wear pond
erous wooden shoes. There are six OF
these four being dressed as girls and
two as boys.
Most of the English dolls are dressed to
represent historical personages, and some
are named for friends of Her AIa jesty's
girIhood Henry VIII. has variety OF
counterfeit presentments, in one of which
he is dressed in full armor made by fine
stitches of silver thread, that give the
appearance of steel. Queen Elizabeth
was a favorite also. several dolls being
dressed to represent her. some are IN
court costume, made with incest detail,
and others are in riding habits
A group composed OF Shakespeare and
Ann Hathaway and 81 figure representing
DR. Johnson show that the little princess
developed at an early age the literary
tastes that have been characteristic OF her
life Shakespeare is dressed. evidently.

and corded. and various dazzling Court
costumes The headdreSs is OF rich lace
With strings of pearls. Dolls IN Swiss
and Italian costumes are numerous. and in
every instance are faithful reproductions.
All the dolls were supplied by Victoria
with outfits foc every possible occasion,

had real hair, golden or brown, which at
that time was a startling novelty
Her Majesty permitted the publication
of a book by young English woman, CALI
ed Queen yietoria.s Dolls in which col
ored plates showed exactly how these in
fants of her childish years were dressed
1t was stated at the time that. although
the name Frances II. Low appeared on the
title page the Queens interest in her old
friends was so strongly revived that she
wrote much of the book herself.
