The Child Dolls from Baden Baden, Germany

       This little brother and sister are dressed like the school children who live in Baden Baden, Germany. There the boys wear short dark trousers, white stockings, vests, round hats and long coats with two rows of buttons down the front.

       All of the little girls and many of the little girl dolls wear strange, high bonnets with ribbon streamers hanging down their backs.

       Since these dolls have come to America, many a home has been opened to them. They are so quaint and cute that everyone who sees them loves them. It is doubtful whether this pair will ever become American citizens, for they seem unable to understand the English language, to say nothing of learning how to read or write.
