Chiquet paper doll, Child Life Magazine, March 1930

 


The dresses are "Designed by Chiquet," but I see what looks like the name "Briggs" running vertically in small print on the right side of the page.


This cover perfectly captures the extremes of March weather: wind and snow, and the first signs of spring in emerging crocuses. (The elf's mailbag contains a letter: "Memo--First Call for Crocoses.")

Child Life magazine with paper doll, October 1943


 This 80-year-old magazine has seen better days, but it's priceless record of the war years. There's a quiet optimism and a "we're all in this together" spirit that is lovely to read.

Linda paper doll, Child Life Oct. 1949


Well gee, both costumes are kind of plain. 
The skirt is pretty nice, so leave what you have on and grab a mask!
