MAUDE ON DOLLS.

Dolls are all sizes-from the size OF
little girl to not an inch in length.
Most all little children like to play
with them, especially the girls. Some
times boys two or three years old
play with them, but quit as soon as the
bigger boys go to teasing them.
Dolls were made hundreds Of years
ago. because they are found in tombs
in Egypt, where thew had been buried
before the time of Christ. These dolls
were made OF baked clay and wood.
Most dolls are manufactured in
France and Germany. In Sonneberg
Germany, thousands of dolls are made
every year
The most expensive dolls are made
of wax, while the cheaper ones are
sometimes made Of wood.
Besides wax and wood. dolls heads
are made of china or papiermache
The most expensive dolls have rea
eyelaskes and real hair. Some dolls
cry and talk. The crying is made BY
a kind Of bellows. which works wher
pressed upon. When different strings
are pulled some dolls are made to sa!

she has her hair combed each morning
and afternoon and three times on Sat
urday. ...

play house on Saturday is to have our
