Washington Times Fashion
Census. among other places
where frocks were counted was
the Willard Hotel, on Junior
League Day.

dress won, by long odds, as we
expected it would. BY straight
line dress we do not mean the
old-fashioned sheath without
form or fit, but we mean a
modern belted frock, with nor
NAL waistline, but with no pep
lum, tiers, tunic or bolero to

Dolls Look Human
Dolls most in fashion look
more like human beings than
they've ever looked before.
They're still pretty-all Of
them-because even the child
who isn't pretty doesn't want
her child to be homely!
A doll very much in fashion
with the younger child is the
soft-bodied one, with compost

Their dresses are cut much as

dressed in gingham rompers as
practical as the child's own.
Dolls like these have faces rep

years. Real baby dolls that wear
long dresses may be found in
various states of wakefulneSs

in an eternal wall for attention.

Boy dolls are far in the fash
