Even to this day the doll plays its part
in the folklore of the banks of the

to rise properly a doli is thrown into
its waters, representing the living vir
gin or boy who used of old to be
thrown in to propitiate the Nile god.
and a similar performance takes place
on the banks of the Tiber, where a
doll made of pluited rushes Is used as
a substitute for the human victim.—
