That's how Mary Jean Betties
accumulated more than 70 dolls
from around the world. Mary Jean,
14, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Alvin Betties of RR 2 Bayfield. Her
colledion includes models from
Canada, the United States, the
Caribbean and Rurope.
From Canada comes several

the Eskimos originated at -the Oki
Mill at Blyth. She is dressed in
leather and fur and carries a baby in
a papoose on herback. Meanwhile, a

knitted. Also from Quebec is a

'Grandma B.' is Mrs. Allen Betties
of Clinton. The doll is about 70 -years -
old and models clothes reminiscent
of the style in the early 1900's.
Mary Jean also owns several dolls

Although most of the dolls were
bought in their homelands by Mary
Jean or her family or friends, a few
originated elsewhere, such as a
tiny Chinese doll found in Toronto's
Chinatown or a Russian doll pur-
chased at the Royal Winter Fair.
Besides the differing styles of
dress, Mary Jean points out other

Besides the r*sailian, American
and Caribbean dolls, Mary Jean
displays one from almost every
European country including
England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland,
Holland, Spain, Italy, Switzerland,
Greece, Germany, Russia and
Czechoslovakia.

Two Welsh dolls model different
costumes: one has a full-length red
velvet coat; the other a gingham
dress and apron. An Irish lass with a
reddish tinge in her hair is wrapped
in a soft, handmade shawl.
Only one doll is man named: she is
"Colleen" from Scotland. She wears

Ninety per cent of the dolls wear
hats. Instead of being buttoned,
most of the clothes are stapled or
sewn. The shoes and boots are
fashioned from plastic or cloth or
are simply painted on.
As Mary Jean's collection of dolls
grew, storing them became a
problem. Her father built a large
corner cabinet with hinged glass
doors and three lighted shelves. The
display case is now crowded with
dolls of all sizes and colours, dressed
in the native costumes of countries
around the world. Mary Jean can
tell you where each one came from
or who gave it to her.
"They're expensive souvenirs,"
she admits, "but they're- nice to°
have. And it's just like bringing back
any other souvenir of a trip."
