Eugenie And Her Father Doll

       Eugenie did not come from France alone. Her father came with her. It is he that is pictured wearing the high silk hat. From his dress and bearing, it seems likely that he has been used to the best always. His black broadcloth suit must have been tailored before the sewing machine was invented, for it is made by hand. The stitches are even smaller than machine stitches. The cloth has held its color well, although the black thread that was used in sewing has faded to a brown. His finely tucked shirt front and his silk hat are something to admire. His vest is made of a white, washable material. It closes with white buttons.

       The gentleman's small feet are fitted with dark leather slippers. And he wears his white kid gloves all of the time. He has to, for they are sewed on.

       His golden brown hair is worn long like a musician's. There is just a tiny bit of wave in it. All of the men wore their hair long at the time that he had his last haircut.

       Eugenie must resemble her mother, for she does not look much like her father. She is light. He is dark. She has large blue eyes and he has small, brown eyes. She is tall and he is short.

       The father must have come to this country empty-handed, for no one seems to remember his bringing anything with him.
