"a toy TO amuse toy seems strange,
doesn't it?"
'.But dolls are not considered toys by
their owners; they humaniZe them, and
so we have to keep complete line OF
dolls toys.
The novelties in dolls are sleeping
dell that awakens in the morning and
says, Mamma, mammal when a string
Is pulled, and graceful lady who
drives daily in her carriage and bows
in response TO her friends salutes.
"A manufacturer has announced
that he is going to put out case of
homeopathic medicines made especial

'rhere are also new and more COM
