Doll Display
The dolls are the collection of Mrs T. C. Ward, of Marton, who has already raised £1000 for good causes.
Mrs Ward restyles a doll's hair, touches up its face, then clothes it in beautiful hand-sewn garments.
No wonder the little girls in this picture are staring. Christine Coleman & Margot Hill are feasting their eyes on a display of no fever than 200 dolls, exhibited in Gisborne to help raise funds for the Girl Guide movement.
Baby's "birthday party"
Scene in nursery
Mrs Ward makes adjustments to one of her exhibits. Miniature furnishings add realism to the settings. Backgrounds were specially painted by Miss H. Spooner, of Nga Tawa School.
