"The beauty was kind, and her kisses released/ The prince from the spell that had made him a beast;/ In those times a beast was lucky, some ways - But beauties don't bother with beasts nowadays!"

One-Eye and Three-Eyes Paper Dolls by Addie Woodruff

You've all heard of One-Eye, Two-Eyes, and Three Eyes; Well, this is One-Eye, and my, is she wise! I'm sure she could see with both eyes if she chose; But she thinks she's alluring with her hair to her nose.

This is Three-Eyes, and is she a one! She thinks that to look with your eyes is not done. So a small shiny eye glass she carries about; Though it hinders her vision a lot, without doubt.

These two paper dolls from the Modern Fairy Tale Cutouts series by Addie R. Woodruff appeared in newspapers in 1940.
