Dolls tell—
Continued from page 1
a legend of a vain girl who would not wear a coat on a sleigh ride with her boy friend, and froze to death.
Oldest doll is wood
The oldest doll in Mrs. Howe's collection was found in Nova Scotia behind a wall of an old house being remodeled. The wooden doll, dropped by a girl while the house was being built more than 100 years ago, had remained there through the years.
Many of Mrs. Howe's dolls were given to her not only by friends and relatives but also by strangers. While visiting an antique shop in Minnesota, she was given an unusual doll trunk by the owner. A doll inside had belonged to him since childhood because, as a boy, he had been forced to play with dolls by his older sister.
Another doll in Mrs. Howe's collection was made by Kathe Kruse, a German artist. This doll
is made of linen and is a reproduction of one of her eight children. Her doll factory was closed by Hitler before World War II.
The largest doll in the collection is a yard tall. Other examples are: two Catholic sisters dressed in their order's habit, and Mexican wax dolls whose bodies are so intricately made that blood vessels can be seen in their hands.
Although it is commonly believed dolls which can walk or talk are modern, Mrs. Howe explained there is a doll in her collection made during the 1890's which dances, kicks, and waves its arms.
Old doll dances, waves
Many of Mrs. Howe's dolls are priceless antiques and she plans to someday give her collection to a museum. She keeps most of her dolls in storage but has about 14 at the Acacia House.
Dolls are ancient playthings, she explained.
Pop singers coming here
The Pilgrim 20 Singers, a group of 14 Kansas and Nebraska college students, will present a pop folk music concert in the Kansas Union Ballroom, 8:15 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 28.
Included in the group, who think of themselves as 20th Century pilgrims, are students from KU, K-State, NU, Wichita State University and Kansas Wesleyan University. The singers use psychedelic lights, electric guitars and bass in their performance.
KU members of the group are Mike Dunagan, senior in psychology, and Clint Dunagan, graduate student in philosophy. Clint is the originator and director of the group.
Selection of members took place in Wichita in August. Auditions were open to all interested college students.
The Singers practice twice a week at various locations in Kansas and Nebraska. Their performance tour includes ten appearances on Kansas and Nebraska college campuses during a three week period.
Featured in three numbers will be Steve and Cathy Burns, a brother and sister singing team from K-State.
MEXICAN WAX DOLLS
Ray Hildebrand, of Kansas City, who, while a student at Howard Payne College, Brownwood, Tex, wrote and recorded "Hey Paula," will make a guest appearance. He and his singing partner, going by the names Paul and Paula, traveled in the U.S., England, Japan and Canada.
Tickets, at $1 each, are on sale at the Information Booth and in living groups.
The Council for Exceptional Children will meet at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Kansas Union Meadowlark Room.
Council will meet in Kansas Union
The KU group is affiliated with the national Council for Exceptional Children. The Council includes students as full members.
"Educating the Emotionally Disturbed" is the topic of the talk to be given by Dr. Richard Whelan, assistant professor of education, at the group's first meeting Wednesday.
The group's purpose is to inform members and the public about exceptional children and methods used to teach them.
Walter Cegelda, assistant professor of education and adviser of the group, said exceptional children are "those who would need teaching procedures different from the normal child."

Although Paris has an active night life, the people are not open and friendly with strangers.
REUNION
"Paris has a big city snobbiness about it," Miss Wright said. "It is very beautiful, but I don't think it will ever be home."
Miss Wright explained that there is also a feeling of antagonism at this time because of the war in Vietnam.
The French have high standards of friendship which make it difficult to get to know people beyond a mere courtesy basis.
It is a French custom, however, to greet each person you meet. If you are friends, you shake hands upon meeting, even though you just left each other a few hours before.
Another French custom, which is perhaps more enjoyable, is the drinking of wine at every meal.
Claiming that he very seldom saw an intoxicated Frenchman, Coyle said, "because you drink everything at room temperature, it doesn't have the refreshing quality of cold beer, and it's not as much fun to get loaded."
BEESTON, England —(UPI)— There were five special guests when Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Tebbutt celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary recently. Friends had located and invited the five bridesmaids of half a century ago.
