Mrs. Hugh Morenz of Dash-
wood collects dolls. Not the every
day, run-of-the-mill dolls, mind
you, hut dolls of an exotic, in-
ternational sort, She has dolls
Spain, Thailand, Viet Nam,
Holland, France, Korea and New
Zealand. She has dolls dressed
like Queen Elizabeth I, Mary
Queen of Scots, Anne Boleyn and
Anne of Green Gables. In fact,
Mrs. Morenz has over 60 dolls
from over 30 different countries.
Each one of the dolls hangs
from a board in their living room
encased in a plastic bag with a
small tag that briefly describes
what it is wearing; where it came
from who sent it and when it
arrived. Each one is carefully
catalogued and hung in the
collection.
Only a small percentage of the
collection has been purchased by
Mrs. Morenz; the rest come from
friends and relatives who travel
and her many pen-pals. A doll
dressed like a guard from
Buckingham Palace came from a
nephew who went on a school trip
to Lt',ngland, a doll from China
came from a missionary she
knows. The Thai doll is from a
pen-pal whose family lives in
Indonesia.
Mrs. Morenz started her
collection in a sad way, when she
exchanged an Eskimo doll with a
Dutch pen-pal for a doll in their
native dress for a niece of hers.
The niece was tragically killed in
an automobile accident, and Mrs.
Morenz collection grew from the
Dutch doll,
Each doll has its own story that
gives it a special character. The
Czechoslovakian doll is filled
with intrigue; having been
smuggled Out of ('zechoslovakia
in the tense summer of 1969 just
the day before the Russians took
over.
The Anne of Green Gables doll
was the most difficult to obtain
said Mrs. Morenz. She would ask
friends who were travelling to the
East coast to bring her one if they
happened to see one. All of them
came back and reported that
there were indeed Anne dolls. but
they were about two feet tall.
Since none of Mrs. Morenz
collection measures more then
about six inches, it would have
proved unsuitable. She finally
wrotees ti
F estiva l
ay to the Green Gables r
Commit t ye in
Charolettetown, P.E.I. who put
her in touch with a woman who
specialized in miniature Armes,
After e onsider able correspon-
dence. she received one.
Most of the dolls are made of
plastic, except for an apple doll,
the face of which is designed
from a dehydrated apple, and a
tiny straw doll. One of the most
interesting pieces in the
collect ion is altussian doll shaped
in wood and hand painted. The
doll itself is actually five dolls in
one. Like the series of boxes that
comes apart to reveal a smaller
one inside, the largest doll comes
apart t orevealanot her one inside,
and so on down to a little one
inside the fourth doll, Mrs.
Morenz jokingly said that she has
named the dolls alter her neigh-
bor and the neighbor's four
daughters, who are of Russian
lineage.
And yes, Mrs. Morenz has a
voodoo doll. A string creation
that hangs to one side of her
collection, she said the magic
works if you stick a pin in the part
that you want to hurt on the
person and throw it in his door-
way. Her neighbors will be
relieved, however, because Mrs.
Morenz doesn't really believe it
works at all and she is not going
to be going about throwing some
of her valuable dolls at people.
