The single doll has been converied into part of a group which may be made to take part in games. Fashion in dress is as closely fol- lowed in the dolls as in the dresses shown for grown-ups in the same | shops. And there are even doll vanity < with which the doll's complex- | ion may be furbished up. In the mechanical toy field the | American manufacturers are unap- | proachahle, and they have succeeded | i dding to the life of these toys, In fact, as one of the factors of the in- dustry says himself, the Am.rican toy mejufacturers seem to have every thfig but a sense of humor. Certainly most of them take their industry with a deep sericusness, The th cal profession has bene fited materially from the Christmas trade. Store managers have ceased | to be satisfied with a Santa Claus who simply wore a red flannel costume and white whiskers. Today the Santa | Claus must be a real actor, who never steps out of character, and who can | swing a line of patter which will play up to parents as well as children. Clowns Being Used. actors are heing extensively some shops to aid in spurring_ sales and in advertising goods. For example, clowns announc- ing themselves as “Santa Claus’ brother” lead the children around, showing off the toys, working the me. chanical ones and indicating that they will thus be able 1o tell Santa what each boy and girl should have. | The grown-up shoppers are intrigued in_similar ways. A favorite method { ie to have a supposed family from the'| country, consisting of father, mather and daughter, go through each de- | partment and by their jokes and rus. tic comments draw attention to the leading articles in each section. | Personnel officers are perhaps th: busiest of any of the store executives at present. Thousands of temporary | workers have been taken on. and while many of these will be allowed to go when the stores close December 4. many sales forces will be recruited from the pick of these casual workers.
