The European table was the fav- orite of many because of the bright colors of the costumes and the cheerful expressions, Among these were a Beef-Eater (A guard at the Tower of London), and an old| French lady made by Ravca, a well known French doll maker. 1 The table in the center of the group held scme of the oldest and some of the newest dolls in the dis- play. One very old Japanese doll, an entertainer, is much more than 100 years old, which is a long time for a doll to survive, especially when it is made of fragile mater- ials such as are used in many of | the Oriental dolls. On the same table were several of the more modern “play” dolls, among them: the popular Magic Skin baby. | Miss Kelsey gave a short talk, telling the history and interesting points about her dolls.
