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. The poet Eugene

Christmas need not be a time
of great expense when you wish
to decorate your home to tit tne
holiday spirit. With some y4-inch
galvanized wire mesh and clip
pers from the hardware store or
vour own workbench, a small
supply of ornaments and some
greens, you can easily turn out
nriainal Hpcnrations. dIus tradi
tional wreaths and bows. Sally
Robb has given some or inese in
McCall's magazine for December.
sh ctipppsti: nittine a oattern of
a Christmas tree out of paper
about 30 inches high, then cut-
if rtiit nf h win mesh.
Cut red paper, oilcloth or cotton
cloth in the snape oi a tuo lor
the tree and fasten Botn on me
outside of your front door. Stuff
the mesh full of short pieces of
greens, such as fir or cedar.
Then when you have your green
tree all prepared, trim with min
iature colored balls, or, for an
unusual touch, tie various colored
scraps of ribbon in little bows on
the twigs. You can frost the whole
thing with soapsud-snow.
For some socks to trim your
mantle (though they won't hold
anything) cut sock shapes from
the wire mesh. Weave ribbons or
colored cellophane drinking straws
tnrougn tne toe ana heel. For an
added touch to make them tinkle,
fasten tiny Christmas bells as a
fringe across the top.
