DoLL-MAKINe AN INDIAN ART
Marvellous Miniatures Are Those
Turned Out by Clever Aborie-
ines of Mexico.

1t is thought that the tiniest dolls
are those made by Mexican Indians
They are barely three-fourths of an
inch long in many cases, but are nev-
ertheless perfect In detail.
The method of manufacture is as
follows: First there is a diminutive
framework of WIRE This is then wound
with fine silk thread until the proper
figure has been secured. The cos
tunes are then cut according to the
character of the doll, and fitted to It.
With needles that can scarcely be
held in the fingers, needles of which
the eyes are almost invisible. various
designs are embroidered on the dolls
clothes with the finest of silk threads.
So cleverly do the Indians execute
these designs that even through a
powerful glass the details appear to
be perfect, although the work is ac-
complished without the aid of any
-enlarging device.
Once properly dressed, the doll is
given it's hair. Even to the details
of braids and ribbons this work is
carried out. Then there are formed
the eyes, nose, mouth, hands and
feet.
In Mexico these dolls are sold for
ridiculously small sums. 1t takes about
two hours of painstaking labor to
make one of the simplest of the man
ikins.
Some dolls are provided with tiny
baskets of flowers, fancy sombreros,
water jars and other paraphernalia.
The baskets are made of hair by the
Indians of Guanajuato. The bits of
pottery are made of clay, in exact i'm
itation Of the practical sites. All these
accessories are sewed to the dolls.
Miniature roses are embroidered in
the costumes of the dancing girls and
ornaments are arranged in their hair.
Wreaths of flowers are hung about the
shoulders and the arms are formed in
graceful and life-like attitudes of dane
ing The matador is complete in
every particular-his costume being
gayly decorated in many colors, the
hair dressed in true Spanish fashion,
including the conventional queue.
