Was this how Bleuette got her name?

 I just stumbled across a little historical information which may have had an influence on the name of the little doll being given away to subscribers to the new magazine, La Semaine de Suzette, early in 1905.  A French actress known as Bleuette Bernon, was the star of these early French-made films:  Cinderella (1899), Joan of Arc (1900), Bluebeard (1901), A Trip to the Moon (1902), The Kingdom of the Fairies (1903), and Imperceptible Transmutations (1904).  She would have been very well known to Parisians.  Perhaps her films were deemed suitable for the little Catholic girls who would become subscribers to La Semaine de Suzette.  Perhaps at Gautier Publishing, they thought the name would be perfect for their little pattern model.

Welcome to a new Bleuette

 Bleuette Unis France 60 8/0 is being welcomed to our family.  Her name is Guillerette, because "Perky" was already taken.  But her name is an hommage to the original Miss Perky loved by Agnes Sura, and indeed, by many readers of "Bleuette's World."

Like Miss Perky, Guillerette will have to work for a living, modelling all sorts of garments and accessories for her maman's photos.  She appears to be up for the challenge!
