LIVING DOLL . . . Her exten
sive wardrob?*
By DOROTHY ROE
Associated I'res* Women'* Editor
MODERN DOLLS, like modern
children, are definitely pampered
Nowadays a doll considei > herself
underprivileged if she doesn't have
a wardrobe of clothe* designed by
a famous couturier, fashionable
1 luggage in which to pack them and,
I naturally, a mink coat.
Doll clothes and accessories in
this remarkable year of 195? re
lied the American standard of liv
ing as dramatically as a push-but
ton kitchen or a low-slung sports
Car Dolls, like human beingN, have
broadened tlieir horizons and rais
ed their sights. A generation ago. a
Christinas doll wore a home-made
dress with pride, and wa^ admired
ecstatically hy its small mother. To
day, a Christmas doil comes equip
pel with costumes for every occa
sion, plus the proper accessories,
plus fur coats and stoles, plus
sports equipment and luggage. She
may also have a cosmetics kit, with
the necessities for a permanent
wave and fashionable hair tinting.
And of course she must have a full
supply of filmy lingerie, negligees
and boudoir ensembles;
Today's privileged doll may have
j wardrobe designed by Schiaparel
li, complete with outfits for town
or country, rain or shine, day or
night. She will have daytime suits,
cocktail dresses and evening gowns
She will have bathing suits and
beach ro'oes. raincoats and galoshes,
ski clothes and skating costumes.
Her mink coat will be in the lat
est mutation, and may be either
real mink or a "Minkation" of fake
fur that looks like the real thing
And no matter how many clothes
she brings with her on Christmas
morning, it's a safe bet she'll need
more soon?and these are available
at the nearest toy department.

KNOW WHAT American girls
want fur Christmas? You guessed
it - more sweaters.
It seems that girls of high school
and college age never have enough
of these versatile garments. And
since the styles change each sea
son. sweater collections achieve
monumental proportions by the
time a girl gets her diploma.
This year the bulky sweater is
|the big thing with the campus set.
Muted colors are considered strict
ly in the Ivy League groove, favor
ites being charcoal gray, black,
white and beige or camel color.
The crew neck and the heavy lib
knit are standard requirements for
slipon sweaters.
Many girls buy their sweaters in
the boys' department?more dash
ing, they claim.
Jaequard knit cardigans in
bright colors on white or black
also are popular, preferably brass
buttoned. And the bulky waist
length sweater with big roll collar
is definitely present in the hit
parade.
For dressy occasions the girls
like cashmere sweaters worn with
slim skirts dyed to match exactly.
And of course the white or pastel
cashmere cardigan is the national
uniform of the younger set to wear
as ah evening wrap.
