There are two very remarkable dolls
from ancient Peru, one made of pottery
and the other of wood and neither Of
them entitled to much consideration from
the standpoint Of personal beauty. These
dolls are very solemn looking creatures
and they have no pretty clothes nor any
clothes at all, and they are awfully. stiff
looking and not in the least smiling and
jolly like Mauny Hla.
One of the strongest of the dolls comes
from Arizona. 1t is brightly painted
Puppet made Of wood with bright round
ornaments in its ears which are supposed
to be squash blossoms. This doll is one
of the sort that was used in the religious
festivals of certain tribes Of Indians.
After the festivals were over the little
dolls were given to the girls OF the tribe
TO play with, and the tiny bows and ar
rows, which also had been made to be
used as emblems during the festival,
were given to the small boys, their
brothers.
The North American Indian dolls which
are included IN the collection which has
already arrived at the Museum are very
wonderful in costume. The costume Isl
made of the skins Of animals and beauti-
fully beaded in the marvellous workman
ship for which the Indians are noted.
There Is also a beautiful papoose pocket
also made of skins and decorated won
derfuIly with beads. The little Indian,
papooss fits neatly into this sheath like
cradle which Is carried on the mothers:
back.
There are Siberian dolls, Japanesej
dolls, Turkish infant doll wrapped in,
the most gorgeous fabrics and many
other doh -eOple from different quarters

they came, slipping and faltering under
the rain Of missiles, but doggedly winning

others were crowding, their faces and
bodies blotched with snow. They were
mad clear through and met every broad
side of shot stoically, stubbornly de-
termined to gain the summit and wreak
revenge on the foe. The garrison behind
the toboggan fought furiously. Snow
balls slammed down upon lowered heads
and sped past protecting arms to spread
against necks and faces. The invaders
made no effort to retaliate. since it was
dificult enough to make the ascent as
it was; to have attempted to throw snow
balls would have invited utter disaster.
