They were very different from dolls in plain old
undistinguished stores. His were the latest inven-

the world. They had strings coming out of their

could do the most distinguished things-dance, weep,
walk, even change the way they wore their hair.
And, unlike ordinary dolls, these had already
been given names: BELLA BALLERINA, LOTTA
