Very. very few Nuremberg toymakers have

100 years old, are seen all Of the most novel of
the toy-village playthings. The store wax crowded
with more children over thirty than under thir-
teen, and absorbed for hours over the clever and
quaint attractions.
The dolls house Of Nuremberg leaves nothing
TO be desired. Not only the usual rooms OF a con
ventional menage are found in it. but cOnserva-

wee pairs of hand-knitted stockings and sweaters,
the hobaailed shoes and blue blouses which make
UP the wardrobe of the volks boy and girl.
The tourist season is a second Christmas for
Nuremberg people, and they sell as many play
things in the one period as the other. An inter
esting point brought to light by this fact is the
early differentiation Of the American and Euro
pean individuality. which shows itself in choice of
games and pastimes. They say in the shops that
an American child is invariably fascinated over
the mechanical and complicated, that he finds In
tense interest in mastering the technicalities even
