Mrs. Neil Davidson, Lenora
drive, Medford, brought a
large number of French dolls
to the Manor club room Sun
day last week, for our enjoy
ment and information. Mrs.
Davidson has a collection of
more than 400 dolls, which
she plans to exhibit in classi
fied sections from time to
time; and, eventually, j liii.n
a complete exhibit of all of
them for the benefit of some
favorite charity.
This doll collecting hobby is
a revelation to me. I knew
that a number of people col
lect a few dolls for personal
pleasure; but I now learn that
"serious collecting" has joined
the widespread coin and
stamp fad. Consequently, this
enthusiasm, plus the scarcity
of authentic examples of dolls
made in many lands down
through the generations has
pushed the prices charged and
received for them up into the
stratosphere.
Collectors' dolls, of course,
are not for children. For cen
turies they have been used
to model gowns, millinery and
accessories and were then
taken from one European
court to another. The French
dolls we Manor members saw
here were dressed in complete
and luxurious outfits hand
made, including true-to-life
Follies Bergcre costumes;
with d r es s e s , hats, coats,
shoes, dainty undies, even per
fectly made miniature cor
sets (or was it "stays"?), with
tiny white kid gloves, fans
and beaded purses. They all
had beautiful, real hair, were
all appropriately named, and
some nao. tnc most pro
nounccd and intriguing per
sonaiities. I shall be antici.
pating a visit to other displays
of her character, modern, and
oriental dolls in the future.
A number of men joined
other fascinated members in
viewing a miniature early
American kitchen (liower j.a.
dens outside the windows
yet), lighted and absolutely
perfect in every detail. This
was the only miniature house
or furniture that Mrs. David
son has collected so far.
Spring must be just around
the corner Manor members
are flocking home from
weeks and even months bask
ing in southern sun. 'the Mark
G o 1 d y s enjnyed Yucatan,
Mexico; the Ralph Moores
have been wintering in south
ern Arizona; the Elmer Franz
was spent weeks in Cali
fornia; Mrs. W. VV. Howard
vacationed in a dutc-groved
motel, Msi Hazel Culbick and
her Canadian! guest, Miss
Eleanor Cibbs, who had been
visiting her in the Manor, en
joyed Palm Springs; and Mrs.
Rease Bralcy joined Eastern
friends at an Arizona guest
ranch. All of these members,
plus my husband and I in De
cember, called on Mrs. Gra
ham Foote, our member in
Palm Springs. Methinks she
should change the name of
her delightful mobile home to
"Rogue Manor in the Desert.'

of, so they switched to music.
