The dolls of yest erday-se beautiful
and so cheap-they ;re no more. 1t is
the war. But no little mairl need be
without doll, for it is the easiest
thing ever to make one of heavy do
nestle and paint face on it. One
can buy a pattern of any of the pat
tern companies and make the body,
which is to be stuffed with sawdust.
Such doll dressed and making her
appearance at Christmas t.rne win be
as much loved as the most fragile
waxen beauty that ever came from

when he entered West Point he
stood six feet was as straight as an
