By MARJORIE BRIGHTON
A puck into Santa’s 1950 work
shop reveals an exciting new gen
eration of dolls so lifelike and
talented that they are sure to de
light every little girl. From top
to bottom and in every corner
stores are brimming tj bursting
with a wide and wonderful doll
selection for this Christmas.
Though there is a doll to place
under every tree in America, the
extra super special dolls are ex
pected to be snapped up fastest.
So perhaps one of the wisest
things mother or dad, or Aunty
Mary or Uncle John can do is to
take that favorite little girl for a
stroll through the departments,
and just obserVe her reactions.
The one she sighs for most
longingly is the doll to "adopt"
quickly.
1 Toy makers have completely ,
captured a little girl's dream and |
interpreted it with the aid of!
amazing new materials. Toy '■
shelves are peopled with next-to- I
real infant dolls who look for all 1
the world like a baby sister when
she was first seen at the nursery I
window. .
There's captivating "Li’l Dull
in',” who is accurately scaled to
a four day old baby from the in
^ font creases on her face, to her!
tiny curl" g toes.
And there's chubby "Blessed
Event" who faithfully reproduces
the facial movements of a three
weeks old baby. She puckers her j
lips in a kiss, nibbles, whimpers,
pouts and even moves her tongue.
No picture of the layette set
would be complete without "Little
Chuckles," fctchingly dressed in a
• long embroidered christening
gown.
Another Weeps Tears
There are adorable wetting
dolls who exhibit talents that
should endear them to tiny moth
ers. News comes of an infant D.v
Dee doll who in addition to wet
ting herself in accepted Dy-Dee
fashion, blows bubbles and drinks
from a straw. And there’s "Tiny j

and a book on baby doll care.
AS REAL TO TIIE TOUC H as she looks, “Li’l Darlin’ ” is a doll
