I cried for three days," she said, reminiscing about a lifelong affection for dolls that began as a child in France. Today, her house in Centerville is full of dolls most her creations. Mrs. Barker has been making dolls professionally for three years, but they have won prizes in art shows throughout the Mountain West. Yesterdays Dolls by Paulette is .typical of the quality of items listed in Direct Connection, a new catalog from which shoppers can buy directly from the "I always loved dolls. I can remember playing with them even when I r. was 16," Mrs. "When I I in a similar manner and represents a personal story.

He believes the anteater can get along without dreaming at night because it dreams while awake. 2. FALSE. Little children, even babies, dream. Dr. Winson points out .that little children dream as much as half the time, and in this way the child progressively develops his own ;"strategy for behavior.

With a family, it is sometimes too much time. Postage costs are built into the price. The consumer has to add sales tax if living in or sending items to people in Utah.
