...Billy's face was expressionless, his eyes never seemed to move, he could barely raise his eyelids. He could hardly swallow, and for two years he had to be fed through a tube. His arms were so feeble that he could not lift a spoon to his mouth, and he had to have steel braces to be able to stand...
...strides have been made toward realism. From France there is a lifelike bulldog which shakes its head, opens its mouth and growls at the tug of a leash ($16.95). Ohio's Doepke Manufacturers has a 19-in. fire engine made to scale from the famed La-France, with an extendible ladder and a hose that shoots a 20-ft. stream of water ($15.95).

On rainy days his slim figure strides buoyantly un der an ancient black umbrella, held aloft...
...wall. Crumpled bills, spilled coins, dropped when he returned from his walk, strew the table at his side. His eyes light up - he has decided to needle one of those present. His tongue is sharp and witty, and he talks fast, sometimes out of the side of his mouth, with a mimic's art and the insistence of a barker...
