TEDDY BEAR MASCOT
Clothing Size Problem When Istvan Rabovsky gave his wife, Nora Kovach, a huge teddy bear for Christmas their team of two became a threesome. Dorka, a Hungarian name for a shebear in children’s books, now goes everywhere with them as a mascot. It is bigger than a yearold child. Miss Kovach found that out when she went shopping in New York for Dorka’s etches.
“I told the saleswoman I wonted garment* for a one-year-old. but I could see everything was far too small round the neck and arms,” ahe said.
The saleswoman, who had a year-old child of her own, looked perplexed and asked: “Just what kind of baby do you have?” “When I told her it was a teddy bear she stared at me as if I were a nut,” Nora Kovach said.
TYie size problem- was overcome in a wide-necked, sleeveless sundress.
