OLD-TIME DOLLS HOLD TEA PARTY Many Diminutive Toy Pets of Nineteenth Century in Collection Here. Ls BY GRETCHEN SMITH. A strange tea party was held recently in the home of one of Georgetown's distinguished residents. It was given in honor of some ladies of the last cen- tury, who, despite their hundred years or so0, do not seem to grow old. That is the advantage of being a doll. No mattar how many gay seasons a doll may have seen, she never loses her pink and white complexion or the innocent expression of her wide blue eyes. Thirty-five or more dolls_assembled in the drawing room of the Georgetown hostess. All of them were of English or early American stock. Most of them were attired in costumes of the very earliest years of the nineteenth century, with Jong, full skirts, beneath which, in some cases, tiny ruffied panties could be seen peeping. There were rag dolls, wooden dolls, china dolls and wax dolls. In a distant corner, as though ashamed of her appearance, shrank a tiny doll made of corn husks, with tresses of corn silk showing beneath her bonnet. “That doll,” remarked the hostess, “is ‘a typical and genuine early nine- teenth century American doll. They ‘were made by Amer:?n ploneers, who had no other dolls give their little girls. All More Than 100. “Every doll here,” continued the Georgetown hostess, “is well over a hun- | dred years old. Many of them I picked up in New England. Many others I found in old London shops.” An interesting costume history of the times was revealed by the garments worn at the doll's party. No doll was excluded from the gathering, even though she were poor and had to at- tend without a party dress. Therefore, many dresses of calico, gingham and muslin were glimpsed among the more elaborate costumes of stiff silks and nets. And such needlework as was ap- parent on the little frocks is rarely, if ever, seen in these days. Rows upon rows of tucks and seams so fine they must have required magnifying glasses in the making. No doll or group of dolls attracted more attention than a half dozen diminutive ones found by the collector years ago in England. One, not more than a half inch in size, had tiny Jointed limbs and a painted wooden face the size of a pin head. It will ever remain a mystery in this age as to how these dolls were dressed in their gay little garments cut in the height of nineteenth century style. Although the Georgetown doll pufl.y[ was given particularly for the large WASHINGTON, CENTURY-OLD DOLLS COLLECTED BY GEORGETOWN RESIDENT | England by prominent Georgetown resident. inal costume in a perfect state of preservation. rart of rare collection of dolls of English and early Am erican stock, gathered from old England and parts of New Practically every doll is more than 125 years old and is dressed in its orig- —Star Staff Photo.

Found on Battlefield. A story has it that an Indian war- rior doll, one of the few gentlemen pres- ent at the party, although not so ancient as the others, had had a most interesting career. 1In 1890, after the Battle of Wounded Knee, one of the last fought between the American Cavalry and the Sioux Indians, the doll m found by an Army officer, lying uj the battlefield. Apparently he been dropped by a small Sioux papoose, accompanying her mother, as she sought for her dead brave upon the battle- field. The officer picked up the doll, which later was presented to the Georgetown resident by a relative. lmklng upon her quaint little guests, gwna and bonnets of long ago, the ss breathed a sigh. h,” she remarked, “if only they mu,ld talk—what stories they might tell of the little mothers who dressed them 125 years ago!” MOTHER ADVISED SON’S SHIP IS LOST AT SEA North Carolina Woman Receives Report Prom New York Telling of Missing Steamship Exilona.

For three days, he said, he carried one summons each for Seiuel, Morris and Willieri Fancoe, but without fail he would get tl:e wrong one. “Sam?” he !'md ask. “No, Morris” or “William” would be the reply, and by the time the proper summons could be located there would be no one to receive it. The deputy reported last night he solved the problem by gettmg triplicate copies of the summonses, presenting each brother with all three and in- viting _him to take whichever one fitted his name.
