I've never seen a paper doll outfit that includes a newspaper, especially in the hands of a young girl. But it's not surprising. The post-WWII era was a heyday of sorts for news in print; TV was a growing presence, but not ubiquitous yet, so newspapers were still the primary source for news. Do children fight over the Sunday comics anymore? Let's hope so!
