BLUE EYES.
Little girls who play with their dolls may be interested to know what sets the fashion in dolls’ eyes. When Queen Victoria ascended the throne she was fair and had very blue eyes, whereupon all the loyal dollmakers of her kingdom began sending blue-eyed dolls from their factories. In Italy and Spain, where all the great beauties have olive, skins and dark, handsome eyes, a blonde doll is quite uncommon, Japanese dolls have twinkling, beady eyes, set in their heads aslant; while the gaily-dressed dolly from Singapore looks from hev copper-coloured face with a pair of narsow/ coquettish, black ayes.
