We must also have the wheatless
doll
At you have tried within the last
few months to buy a doll you have
no doubt guessed that something was
wrong somewhere. Perhaps you
thought that the trouble lay with
yourself and philosophically unused
that dolls were not what they used 10
be, believing that it was simply be-
cause your childish eye saw only
dOllys Projections and none Of her
defects. Really and truly. the dolls
of the present time are about as far
below the dolls that We played with
when we were young as those that
our great grandmothers had and
cherished.
Just why the present war situation
should make it necessary for dolls
10 have carrot-colored lips, squint
eyes and cross expressions IL is hard
TO tell. OF course the persistent dye
situation might have something 20
do with the carrot-colored lips. In
deed, perhaps nowadays dolls lips
may be carmined with carrot juice.
But IL is difficult 10 understand why
so many of the American-made dolls
should lack dOllish charm OF shape
and expression.
