Was there ever such show OF dolls seen
before? They seem to be everywhere display
ing their fnery. The undress doll is away on
top shelf, because the popular doll must be in
the fashion in the way OF dress. The adult
DOLL with hair done in the latest style. is one
Of the features Of the place. Baby dolls are apt
to be tresome, but the grown-ups are always
on their best behavior
OF course, the universal ambition 10 soar

the place would be incomplete: tops which fly
up to the ceiling. tops which sing in the air
plums. apples. pears, and other fruit dance
about most gayly. Swimming men, dancing
Scotchmen, snowballs stuffed with small toys
and humpty-dumpty circuses come in view as
you wander along; while games galore call
aloud for Inspection. Toyland certainly never
full OF splendid things for those who can
spend dollars and cents.
Take another turn, however, and we come to
Tiny Town. where the purchasing power OF the
penny is best represented Sets of kitchen
utensils, traction engines, gunboats, cruisers
motor omnibuses, railway engines, black
smiths sawyers, county council trans, light
houses, dancing ballet girls. dolls furniture
sewing sets, gold fishes In globes, minus the
elaborate mechanism OF the more expensive
type, but all made to work. Comical figures,
magnetic divers. shooting galleries, skin ami

are priced at few cents

The season-according to the great toy en-
poriums whose wonderful stocks are reviewed
above-will probably make a record from the
business standpoint. Each succeeding year
brings a growth In the demand for better class
toys; and it 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-
teal monopoly; but in turn the German has
been completely ousted by the Englishman.

the president had something of par
