What Will the Riddles Do for DolieS Al Christmas
 Time If the Supply Is Diminished by the Wdr?

The grown ups may be able to stand all the inconveniences caused by the European war. but when it comes
 to worrying old Santa Claus and the children at Christmas time--weil
 that's different story as MT. Kip ling would say.
 l But
 The fact remains just the same that
 the question of toys and especially of dolls, is very momentous one just now, and many a youngster who has reveled in two or three beautiful dolls each Christmas will have to forego that pleasure this year and be content with one--or none,
 Notions, including all sorts of small things, like buttons and hair pins and hooks and eyes and everything of that sort will suffer terrifically on account of the war.
 Linens and all kindred fabrics are on the list of goods that will go sky ward in price; in fact, there is hardly a single thing you can mention that is not seriously affected in price and scarcity by the present warlike manipulations on the other side In regard to the question of toys, the leading local merchants have had some Interesting things to say, as we'll as on the subject of linens, notions velvets and other dry goods. MIR. BURGER TALKS
 The supply of dolls,' said Mir. Bur ger yesterday when I asked him about his Christmas stock of toys' will natu- rally be depleted to great extract on account of Nuremberg, which is the center of the doll industry, being. prac | tically devastated on account of the war. Those of us who bought early | of course, got in on the ground floor but the rest will have to depend on domestic dolls for their supply. I was in Nuremberg two years ago and vis- lited a number of the doll factories and 1t is easy to realize when you see these great institutions how dependent | the entire world is oh Germany for | dolls. All the handsome dolls with real hair and pretty faces, and forms I are made in Nuremberg practically.
 They are made by contract mostly sometimes whole families being em- ployed in the work. Nuremberg is a very interesting place for many req sons besides being the center of the doll industry of the world. The tour ist can scarcely miss this place as it | is between Carlsbad and Frankfort All sorts of mechanical toys are manu- factured there, and the Made in Ger many trademark Is known too well to the world at large for people not to
