For the Dolly Dingle line of paperdoll cut-outs. Between the years, 1912 and 1933, Grace drew over two hundred paperdoll pages for the.

Many of these were the "Dollie Dingle" series of paperdoll cut-out pages. "Dolly" was manufactured for the Madame Hendren line of dolls produced by the Averill Mfg. And is, 11 tall, and has large hand painted, googly (side-glancing) eyes , an impish smile, cute little nose, rosy cheeks and painted black hair in ringlets.

She has a large round, now silent "voice" box inside her torso, mitt-type hands with separate thumbs, well-shaped little feet and wears her original little cotton, baby onesie with neckline trim. See her on page 69, "Cloth Dolls"-Linda Edward.
