Permilla F. Dunston, a longtime
collector of dolls. She has made
many dolls and her collection has
received prizes and awards. Dr.
Dunston has an extensive collection
and a vast knowledge of the art of
collecting dolls as well as the histo
ry of the doll in America and
abroad.
Also exhibiting will be Eva
Jeffries, who has been collecting
for about seven years and has
amassed an impressive doll collec
tion. She, like Dr. Dunston, has
