Antoinette, the Doll With Pierced Ears


        Antoinette came from France years ago. Like the stylish girls and the fine ladies of her day, her ears were pierced so that she could wear earrings. When she lost her earrings a friend gave her a pair that had been sent to her from the Philippine Islands during the Spanish-American War. They had come from an American soldier stationed there. They are delicate flowers made of small paper-thin shells.
       There is just enough natural wave in Antoinette's lamb's wool hair so that it is pretty all of the time.
