some children in Boothbay. Even the
Idollies themselves were made and
their little faces were painted on with
gay crayons. Their dresses were all
the handiwork of the little fingers and
some of the results were most delight
full. Some dolls sported velvet capes
with fur collars. just like grown-ups
while others were fully dressed and
carried still more clothes on their
back. 'is
Some quaint little hand painted
wooden toys were received also Fri

reception among the children.
