one had made and placed
along the road. They bore
the names of local men who
died in our nation’s wars.
Then I took a left turn at

behind, heading straight
onto a mountain road with
hairpin curves and from
there to still another moun

Paper dolls and rainy days
All of these rainy days in
Georgia have brought back
childhood memories of play
ing with paper dolls. Do lit
tle girls still play with paper
dolls today? I believe they
can still be found in the
American Girl catalogs and
are a good source of imagi
native play for children.
Not long ago my mother
found my old paper dolls in
the basement. I had some
generic ones but obviously
my favorite had been Pat
Boone! I find that hilarious
now, wondering how many
white shoes he had in his
wardrobe!
Paper dolls originated in
France in the 18th century
and spread to England.
Paper was a very rare and
precious thing then. Most
paper figures depicted
Shakesperian actors and
actresses and were dressed
in costumes. The paper
“clothing” didn’t have tabs
back then and were attached
via small drops of sealing
wax. The children had to be
very careful to peel the wax
off when changing the paper
outfits on the dolls.
Until the chromo-lithog
raphy process was invented
in the 1800’s, paper dolls
were colored by hand. In
fact, civil war widows often
earned extra income by
hand coloring paper dolls.
Some paper dolls were also
embellished with bits of
material, silk and lace.
During the turn of the cen
tury, clothing manufactur-

ers discovered that they
could sell their latest cloth
ing and patterns by printing
paper dolls in ladies home
magazines such as G6od
Housekeeping and McCall’s.
These magazine paper dolls
became very popular during
the Roaring 20’s. Not that
paper dolls were very expen
sive but children who could
n’t afford paper dolls often
made their own by cutting
pictures of models or cloth
ing out of the old Sears or
Montgomery ward catalogs!
The popularity of paper
dolls continued throughout
the golden age of Hollywood
in the 40’s and 50’s with
celebrity paper dolls such as
Ava Gardner, Claudette
Colbert, Shirley Temple and
Judy Garland, just to name
a few. In the 1960’s the
newest “must have” Barbie
line started producing paper
dolls. Those are the ones
see you when your hair
doesn’t look so bad.” She
took a long, appraising look.
“Otherwise, they’re gonna
think you look like this all
the time.”
Does anybody know where
I can find a few good
