store, or TO the doll department In one OF tho

In less time than 1t takes to tell about IL. Tho
doll is. and always has been, one of the most
imperious needs OF female childhood. II dolls

ton, until in this year 1896 they are prettier
and finer and more expensive than ever before,
that Is no reason why their owners should love
them less. As tho costly dolls have advanced
In price, so have tho cheaper puppets decreased
in cost. There is no reason why every little
girl in this big city should not be happy in the
possession OF a doll of one kind or another on
Christ mas morning, since undressed dolls vary
in price from a cent to s25, while those that
are dressed run from is cents up to S75.
wherein does the doll of 1896 differ from
other dolls9' asked a reporter of the head Of
the doll department In a big store in response
to a question. Before she had time to answer
q sweet, small voice said to her:
"P'ease. ma'am, my dolly's In an awful

real hair, which can be brushed and combed to
