THE corn cob doll is a hardy little thing, able to endure the hardest
usage.
It has no features, to speak of, and a dreadfully pock-marked face—yet
no play baby is dearer to the heart of its owner than the corn cob baby.
Baby Bunnie gave her corn cob child a little more style than such
babies usually have, by wrapping it about as babies are sometimes
wrapped in foreign countries.
Red cobs were made into Indian babies, and bound into bark cradles, and
hung up in the trees, like real papooses.
