Miss Lllliard To Lecture

the speech department of Tarletou
College, will speak on her famous
doll collection to the Home Eco-
nomics club on Thursday night,

her collection before faculty and
students of Columbia University,
New York City, the State Teach-
ers Association, meeting in Hous-
ton and before various clubs and
colleges over the state.
Blanche Yurka, New York
actress, inspired and encouraged
Miss Lillard to start her doll col-
lection in 1934 when they were
companions on a tour of Europe.
Miss Lillard's collection is still
growing and is now quite valuable.
She states that she values it at
51,000.00. Among her collection
she has such interesting dolls as
a miniature doll in Scotch cos-
tume, over a hundred years old, a
plaster paris statue of the former
King Edward of England, small
wax figures of Henry VII, and
Queen Elaabeth and a wood carv-
ing of the face of Christ. The
newest addition to the collection
is a doll from Bermuda Island
made from the bark of a. banana
tree. She has dolls from all coun-
tries -of Europe and from Mexico
all dressed in their native cos-
tumes. There is a display of a
few of her dolls in the hall of the
Home Economics building.
In her lecture Miss Lillard will
include a discussion of the cos-
tumes of each country represented
by the dolls. This should be of
special interest to all home eco-
nomics students. Each member of
the club may bring one guest.

School principal has announced.
The exact date of the exhibition
will be announced soon. A small

the originals in all respects, with

instances the brush strokes in the
original picture are clearly dis-
cernable," said Mr. Childress in
making the announcement.

If you don't believe it, ask Joe
Bailey of the Circle T—they were
his hot dogs.
