The new dolls currently walk ing around the toy counters carrying on .conversations with tiny, customers simply don't give an old-fashioned girl doll a chance. A mother who tries to give her. modern miss her own favorite childhood doll may find that daughter doesn't share the sentiment, to say the Hkst. "But moer, what does she DO?" you can imagine the puz zled daughter asking. And mother could only reply sadly, "She just sits ere and stares at you." . j ' Doll Engineers Warned Speaking for my own three moth-balled f avorites and in their hey-daPa girl had to do the talking for her dolls, I should like to warn doll engineers not to carry this thing too far. It is all right, I suppose, to surprise little Linda in the nur sery chatting with her new bal let doll which has jointed ankles and knees and can assume clas sic ballet poses. And when bedtime comes, there may be some advantage to having a doll kneel beside her owner and say her prayers in an unfaltering metallic voice while, little Linda stumbles through "Now I lay me down But if somebody doesn call a halt, it is entirely possible that the doll of a few years froig now will outsmart her mistress. ' Suppose some mechanical whiz found a way to install a magic electronic eye in one of those talking dolls? Every time some body approached the doll would strike up a conversation. . Or a junior-sized electronic brain with a few simple push button controls, on the forehead? A doll like this , could see her owner through third grade arith metic. Strictly Speculation , While tese ideas are strictly speculation and do not reflect any known plans of the toy com panies, one doll manufacturer already has admitted he could make even more versatile dolls 9 but he is afraid to. Anything is possible now that little girls are asking for Christ mas dolls that pucker their lips, give you a kiss on the cheek, wave their arms realistically and talk back. In defense of my glassy-eyed beauties of a few years ago there is a lot to be said for dumb blonde dolls around the playroom. no our LUjrit; 1 ISiX I ' ft t iis M v ie- It takes more than skillful lighting to find tke smite in a youngster's eyes , - oaty real liking for children wins the responsive expression you hope to see in your child's portrait.
