DOLLS OF THE PAST.
IN 139 r. ' Dolls' dresses have always been important to grown-ups. As early as 1391 I lie Queen of England sent to Paris for several dolls, so that she might see how Parisians dressed; Isabella of Spain did the same thing later ou. To-day historians study dolls from Egyptian graves to learn what was fashionable 'in the sixth century. Some of tho dolls of the past have been astonishingly beautiful and lifelike, and some have been chunks of wood, with strings 'of beads for hair, but all have lieen loved. As girls havo been steadfast in their choice of dolls, boys have changed their playthings with the times. It was when Frederick tho Great glorified war that tin soldiers became the rage, Tho French Revolution brought in a horrible toy guillotine', which Goetho wished to buy for his son, though his grandmother refused to permit it.
