The Mc- Henry woman has been collecting the dolls, of which she has about eighty, for the past decade. Mrs. Joseph Flicek of 1007 N. River road, McHenry, showed her unique collection of antique dolls and toys from different countries at the December meeting of the McHenry Woman's club last Friday. Those who attended the meeting, held at the ,, Methodist church, were fascinated at the large assemblage, most appropriately shown in the pre-holiday season. Among the French dolls, noted for their soulful big eyes, are a 32-inch bisque Jumeau and a boy known as a "bald head" type. These were made with a solid crown and wigs could be purchased for them. In later years, dolls were made with cork crowns, which saved Shipping costs. Among her collection are fashion dolls of English origin, which were popular during Queen Elizabeth's reign. They were sent by fashion houses to royalty, who chose the style they preferred and the garment was made according to specifications. These dolls, predecessors of the modern store mannequins, date back to the 14th Century. Musical type dolls in Mrs. Flicek's collection include an opera figure which moves to music and strums instruments when wound. She also has Edison type musical doll which plays cylinder type records. When placed in her back the sound travels out through speakers in the horsehair wig. American-made dolls include a Griener dated March, 1858, the first doll made in America, entirely of paper mache. Mr. Griener was a toymaker in Germany before coming to this country. She also has a Shirley Temple doll and Rose O'- Neil's kewpie. Among modern day doll makers are included Polly Mann, who made Empress Carlotta, wife of Maxmilian. Wooden dolls include a Schoenhut boy with jointed arms and legs, internal hinges and spring joints which came in variety of styles and sizes. These date from 1910 to 1920. Others made by Schoenhut in her collection are Humpty Dumpty circus animals and trainer, 1900 to 1930. China dolls include a Dresden with flowers molded in her hair; Mary Todd Lincoln with gold snood and bows at either side; and one of the biggest China dolls the collector has ever seen, measuring 35 inches tall. Among toys are an old tin kitchen stove dating to 1860; bell toys, iron, horse-drawn carriage; tin, horse-drawn trolley from Germany; doll buggies pre-dating the Civil War; and lithographed wooden trains of the period around 1875 to 1895. Mrs. Flicek also has old iron, majestic stove with double warming ovens which is believed to be a salesman's sample, and which actually burned wood or coal. It is about 70 years old. Also in the collection is a girl's sled of the type which the child sat in and was pushed on ice. Among the dishes is an ironstone tea set with handless cups.

Make Your Reservations -- NOW -- Dennis Huff --- Experienced Phone 385-3171 Cook 9s er by Marie Schaettgen With the holiday season almost upon us, it might be a good idea to have access to a few quickie recipes with which you are already familiar. The following recipe is not exactly a quickie but it can be prepared several days in advance and it will keep beautifully. In fact, the flavor improves by the second day. It is not too much trouble to bake a double batch and save one loaf. Sliced thin this bread is delicious spread with softened cream cheese. Date Nut Bread 1 cup dates-cut fine into bowl 1 tsp. baking soda sprinkled over dates. 1 cup boiling water poured over dates. To this add % cup brown sugar, V2 tsp salt and let stand about 8 minutes. Now add 1% cups flour, sifted and measured, Vz cup chopped nuts. Don't blend yet. Add 1 egg, beaten slightly, and 1 tbsp butter melted. Blend all together. Rour into well greased bread pan. Bake in 300 degree oven 60 to 65 minutes. If too brown, take out of pan at once. Let cool several hours before cutting. As the days grow shorter and the cold grows stronger, women begin to think of something from the oven for dinner. Tantalizing fragrances come from the kitchen and no coaxing is necessary to get the family to take their places at the table. Try these chops soon. Spanish Pork Shoulder Chops (for two servings) 2 pork shoulder chops Vz-in. thick tbsp. flour tsp. salt tsp. paprika tsp. dry mustard tbsp. fat small onion tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce cup canned tomatoes tbsp. catsup Rub the chops with blended flour, salt, paprika and mustard. Fry in hot fat until brown. Slice onion over chops. Mix sauce, tomatoes and catsup and pour over chops. Cover and cook slowly or bake in moderate oven (350 F.) about 40 minutes. If you bake chops, baked potatoes would be a good accompaniment. Start them about 20 minutes before chops. If you cook chops on top of stove, minute rice would be good with them. And, of course a salad, preferrably tossed.
