Was there ever such a show OF dolls seen
before? They seem to be everywhere, display
ing their finery. The undress doll is away on a

the fashion in the way of dress The adult

of the features Of the place. Baby dolls are apt
to be tiresome, but the grown-ups are always

Take another turn, however, and we come to

The mountaineering to the great toy
poriums whose wonderful stocks are reviewed
aboye-wll probably make a record from the
business standpoint. Each succeeding year
brings a growth In the demand for better class
toys; and 1t is happy circumstance that the
English maker is awakening TO- the possibility
of big business in this direction.
The German snatched the soldier trade from
the French and for years maintained a prac.

been completely ousted by the Englshman.

but in the course of time even TINS
phase of Toyland may undergo
a change. Games bid fair to become extremely
popular. Diabolo, or "the devil on two sticks"
has already captured Paris, and the demand
in London suggests the likelihood of its be-
coming a great craze there.
At moment when the toy industry in France
is on the wane, the famous caricaturist Caran
d'Ache comes to the rescue. Being medically
forbidden to follow his art he turned, as
hobby, to making wooden animals Unable to
repress the humorous strain in his soul, he I'M
parted to his creations mirth-provoking char
acter which has already made them the rage of
Paris; and to judge from the Burlington Ar
cade they will ere long become quite a craze
In London.
From the cheap mechanical toy which i'm
pedes our progress through the streets, as dis
played the pavement by the enterprsing
camelot to the wonderful creations which the
Main Bleu, that paradise Of French children
for nearly century, has provided for the PAM
pered darlings of the wealthy, the predominant
ing element in the French toy Of to-day is
mechanical ingenuity. Never has this been
more noticeable than in the novelties which the
manufacturers are preparing for the coming
holidays.
The average French maker of toys scorns
to offer the little such simple things as
our childhood knew; and the wooden doll and
woolly baa-lamb are to be found only In the
poorer districts. Dolls made of wood there
are, but the wood is only casing for wonder
full works, and the lamb must be life-size, and
able at least to frisk
Among the more expensive toys, and one
which will give the small boy with a gun an
opportunity to prove himself crack shot, Is
the pigeon shooting device, which is an attrac-
tive novelty. Upon a pole about eight feet in
height a crossbar is affixed, much after the
fashion of a parrots perch except that the
scrosspiece is mobile and is made to swing
In circular direction by means of simple
arrangement of weights like those of cuckoo
clock At each end of the crossbar is a colored
cardboard pigeon with outspread wings. The
machinery is set in motion, and a weldirected
shot from toy gun knocks the bird down.
Miniature automobiles there are in plenty
but the latest thing in the toy motorcar line
is run by electricity, and has, If you please,
