her heart beart a pretty plaything with the dimples of a living baby with eyes that twinkle and sp sparkle and with Avith a mouth that she just cant can't help kissing All Sorts D Dolls ll's Are Made And Uncle Sam has this year filled the yearning in in th the heart of ot ofHie ottile tile the child He has made not only baby dolls with wilh individual expressions but char character dolls even to ugly tempered Baby Grumpy whose slender lips stick sUcK way out in the most adorable pucker you could ever Q imagine The fhe war T has caused a revolution in m dolls Germany has for many yc years rs held so to speak the championship in toys She and countries near h her r have had a corner ou on the making of dolls particularly perhaps perhaps per per- haps because she began before America was old enough to make anything perhaps for some other reason It is hard to tell But Americas America s industry o of doll making bids fair to make that of G Germany but oa a a memory in the returned from the East Bast with near future A local buyer has recently news of this industry which is as as' interesting to grownups as it is to chil chil- dren At the firm where he bought his stock this year real artists are employed employed employed em em- i to design faces for the different kinds of of- of of doll They may not have lave attained world wide fame but they are certainly artists of ability 1 I Germany used to put the same expression on the face of every doll made made- baby doll child lady doll or what not A difference was made made only in the clothes But no now noth th there xe are nearly as many any kinds of faces as there are dolls Each has an expression of its own and each Is appropriate for tha the kind of doll represented S Artists Are Employed Employ d. d This firm likewise employs artists whose only task Is to fo to paint the eyes in m the doll It seems a big job for a full grown man doesn't it But it only goes to show how important Uncle Sam thinks it itI ia that his children have the best that he can give them For the playtime of the young joung shall be given not hit or miss toys any old thing that will do but playthings of the highest type playthings which will have a conscious or subconscious influence for good and for striving for for the best that is isto isto isto to be had To be sure a rag doll or a clothespin with a rag head inky eyed and beady heady eared is better than no doll at all but where is the little little girl who has not longed for the great big doll in the store window window- Then why should she not have the finest doll that can be m made de And Uncle Sam is seeing this year that she shall have t i iThe The local buyer tells an interesting fact about these artists who are I employed to paint doll eyes He says they are are more independent than many many- another workman dare be Three of ot which he lie heard especially I were from Austria having come to this country when the war broke out They d do just about as they please he says says says-g go to w work rk at their their own own pleasure quit when they are good and ready and nd demand very large wages p I But they can do this because they ca cannot not easily be replaced It is not every man who can put just the right line o of white through the center I of th the pupil to make the little boy doll look like a mischievous youngster I INor Nor can all artists put the pupil at exactly the proper angle to make a Brownie goggle eyed to the proper degree so that a youngster laughs r every time he looks at Mr Brownie So the employers bow to the eye artist and with all his faults retain him still I IU U Uncle cle Sam Makes Cheap Toys roys However the best thing Uncle Sam has done in starting sorting to make his own toys is to make them cheaper Germany was only beginning to make character dolls when the war brok broke out Perhaps if she had llad continued she would have done aone the same thing which is being done in inthe inthe the United States now but at any rate things are as EtS they are and andas andas' andas and andas as as' as they are American p macje II ae dolls are 1 where German made would be 1 25 by hy way of illustration This Tins is true of ot other toys as well THE TELEGRAM is giving dolls with these character faces as as prizes for obtaining TELEGRAM subscriptions and they have proved so popular that another shipment has just
