Considering the fragile construction
Of most dolls and their hard usage,
it is not surprising that their days are
but a span long. However. DIR. NJ a.
Swift, a well known physician of the
North side, W, o proudly admits IA
years of age, treasures doll head, all
that remains of a doll given her when
she was years old by her aunt. The
doll originally had kid body and was
considered a fine toy in those long ago
days. The head is made of some kind
of indestructible composition. and it is
less than two inches from the top of
the head to tip of the shoulder. New
ertheless, the features are plainly dis
Sernible, altho showing signs of wear.
The doll evidently represented a
young girl and, the expression of the
face is sweetly demure, while the
turned up ringletS about the neck,
modestly covering the ears, is strik-
ingly similar to the style of hair dress
ing affected by young girls of t0dayi
struction of the body of the doll can
not be laid at her door, as it went the
way of the average toy while her
younger sister enjoyed possession of
the toy. The dolls face, according to-
Doctor Swift, was washed whenever
necessary, but the medium used was
not soap and water, but butter! Fancy
using butter for a dolls cosmestic in
this day Of high prices.
