rite haunt Of children of all ages
from 3 to SO; not even the coun-
try circus has so wide an appeal.
The circus represents the first
overwhelming apparition Of art
in child's life; the toyshop is
an epitone Of the very natural
world wherein the child lives,
with persons and natural objects
seen more nearly in scale with
itself. The first impression sinks
in very deep.
Only those children who have
grown up" are ever impressed,
after the first glance, with the
quantity Of toys which are gath
cred together in the vast and
fascinating toyshops Of this town
for their inspection, says the
New York Sun. But those older
ones, whose memory easily reach
es back to times when rather
Nuremburg villages with stiff
green trees and a few regiments
of lead soldiers in Crimean uni
forms made up most of the world
Of toys, are struck by the bound
less variety of wonderful things
as we'll as the exhaustless quanti-
ties of wonderful things which
are made for children today.
A recent report from the De-
partment of Commerce shows thsl
nearly $2,OOO,OOO worth Of toys
were brought into the United
States during last September,
and for the whole calendar year
1913 the total value will probab-
ly reach $9,OOO,0OO. Germany
furnishes by far the most Of them
during 1913 the value Of German
toys was nearly $7,OO0,0OO out iof
a total of $S,OO0,OOO imported
from all foreign countries of
dolls alone the Importation Il I'm
Germany came to 81 ,537, 1854 out Of
total of 81, ,563,184. These fig
ures are based ~on factory values
and not on retail prices.
Dolls, the effigies of children
for children's s mothering, contin-
ue to lead all other toys in guam
tity and value; they form nearly
one-fourth of the total value of all
the toys imported, amounting,
according to the calculations for
the present calendar year to
$2,OOO,OOO.
It is remarked that the con-
sumption of toys in this country
has grown very fast within twen-
ty years. Importations in the
fiscal year 1898 amounted to less
than $3,OOO,OOO in 1913 they had
jumped to $4,5OO,OOO, and this
year, as already noted, the inn
portations are likely to reach
twice that sum.
And at that there will be too
many little girls; who will. not get
even one small doll from shop
this Christmas. But she will
always have her beloved "Sally, "
or her "John DOLL" made out
of some discarded rags. She
gets a dolly somehow, if she has
to make it herself. Forum.
