Little girls like to play with dolls and old people enjoy poring over family albums. Mrs Gertrude Spalteholz of Alameda, California, combines the two pastimes, for her own family album consists of dolls which she has made in the likenesses of members of her family. Now 84, Mrs. Spalteholz may have been inspired to take up this hobby by memories of her childhood in Dresden, Germany, a city famous for its figurines. Instead of porcelain, her dolls are built on wire skeletons padded with cotton and covered with silk and plastic wood.
