Ph. 5-6352 Dolls of Primitive Peoples Long Antedate Christmas New Officers Take- Over Groups Carol Hollister; musician, "Janet Robinson; senior custodian, Mar- On Christmas morning, 1951, there'll be millions of dolls under the Christmas trees. But the cus tom of giving dolls is thousands of years older than Christmas, and will last as long as there are children. Little Aztec and Inca children carried their dolls when they went out to greet the Spanish conquer ors. Montezuma, their emperor, treasured a fabulous collection of dolls of his own. Dolls In 4000 B.C. The Egyptian paddle doll of 4000 B.C., one of the earliest known, was a crude wooden puppet whit tled in the shape of a canoe pad dle. It had stubby arms but no legs so it couldn't run away. The hair of these dolls was fash ioned of thick strings of beads an ancient counterpart of today's ultra-real doll whose silky long coiffure includes her own sep arate matching chignon. . . . Egyptians buried dolls in tombs so the dead would not be lonely. Greek girls offered their dolls in the temple of Diana the night be fore their weddings. In England, a black doll hung outside a store denoted a "dolly shop," where the poor could pawn their meagre possessions for a few pennies. . . On the prairies of America, In 'dian girls played with homemade dolls of rawhide and carved bone with buffalo tail hair. Sir Wal ter Raleigh brought the first commercially-made doll to America in 1583300 years after the first doll factory opened in Germany. America Makes Dolls Although ships carrying a cargo imported dolls were far too ex pensive for most American child ren. Yankee ingenuity turned out its own dolls in the centuries be tween Raleigh's visit and the de velopment of today's great doll factories. Hepzibah Pyncheon sold the popular "Penny Wooden" in her cent shop in the House of the Seven Gables, made famous by the Salem witchcraft trials. Dolls with hands and feet of cast iron, dolls with cornhusk and walrus skin bodies; dolls stuffed with bran and shavings, their heads whittled from Vermont maple, were typical. Child Doll is New Only during the past half-cen tury have dolls been made to look like children. Previously they were called "little ladies" (the word "doll" came into general use in 1899) and were miniature grownups. Each year Paris sent out collections of dolls dressed in the latest fashions. These were exhibited at gala receptions and a sleep admission charged. . . . The "mama" doll was invented in 1825. About 100 years later. the world's first all-rubber doll. "Toodlcs," was introduced in New York. Toodlcs' inventor, Jacob Brock, estimates that the first dozen cost him more than $50,000 to make. Brock's other pioneering vL-iiiurcs in inc clou Held have in. eluded the doll that cries real wet tears just like a real baby. . . In our own day dolls have in creased in popularity as modern production methods have made them cheaper.
