Humpty-Dumpty Doll
Is Newest Twinkle
Chicago -(CPD- On6 of the
newest twinkles on the Christ
mas tree comes from the Dar-
umas, a Humpty-Dumpty kind
of doll with bright blue eyes
and an amiable expression.
The Darumas, a rounded,
cone-shaped doll which came
from the Shinto temples, is
one of the few imports this
year that doesn't glitter. The
dolls are used with tiny red
and white paper lanterns and
rattan ornaments, to decorate
white visca and green trees.
A white flocked tree can be
decorated with glass fruits in
muted Christmas colors with a
golden sheen. On most "dec
orator trees," lights are tiny
flowers with transparent pet
als of blue, gold, green and
clear glass.
One string of lights is pretty
enough to serve as the only
dAorations on the tree. The
lights are masked as roses, and
come in bright Christmas red,
pastel tones of green and gold,
and in clear glass, one color
to a strand.
For pampered pets there are
pink nylon spray trees, with
pink roses the only decoration.
