~ non pop. The all have to rur
or DROP
I've just made a visit to Toy.and
in the Brandeis basement, Sixteenth
and Douglas, and the toys are war
like to strike terror to every Hun,
nish heart!
There's heavy field artillery, big
mounted guns of black, which shoot
heavy shells, and are dragged rap
idly about the battlefield by swift
horses. They're of wood, painted
black and battleship gray, and are
81. An anti-aircraft gun of the
same is 81. There are heavy forti-
LEGATIONS to be built into invincible
strongholds, by enthusiastic boyish
hands. Large ammunition trucks OF
gray with rubber tires are on the
field to carry food for these hun
cry mouthed cannon. There's a
Submarine game at $l.25, in which
a submarine (of woody fitted with
a gun which shoots wooden shells
aims at red target on the side of
a dreadnaught. If struck, the boat
promptly blows up" large pieces
of wood flying in all directions.
(This boat is at once put together
again.) The same game with two
subs is $3.50. Tiny boys will be de-
lighted with the Kiddie Kars, from
81 to So, sleds and automobiles, from
tiny affairs to 'normous one with
adjustable windshield and rubbc ,
tires, whose tenders are as big as
a Ford's (almost). This giant
labeled "Marmon" is SIS. Especially
fine are real work benches large
and heavy with real tool boxes, by
use of which any boy can become a
handy man about the house, And
roll top desk almost as big as the
one in Dads office will teach your
son to manage his affairs skillfully.
And you should see the velocipedes.
with springs, leather seats, and big
rubber tires.
For girlies dear, there is one big
section of dollies who are sweet
as they can be, and they're just
waiting for a sweet little mother.
And my dears, there are dresses of
all kinds and sizes in which to dress
them. Wouldn't you like to have
your dolly dressed up like a red
cross nurse? There are wardrobe
tr..nks rich enough for the finest
lady (doll in the land, or if she is
a baby (doll of course) there's a
wicker bassinet which swings too
cute for words. If the wee grille
likes to cook, there's cooking
school for 75c with kitchen supplies
and practical recipes. The Relief
Wringer, of real rubber is attached
to a most convenient tub of wood,
75c, and another washing set has
starch. soap, clothes line and pins,
etc. There are white enamel, real
brass, or dark wood doll beds with
real springs and mattresses and pill
lows, furniture of all kinds for your
play corners, real Japanese tea sets,
and when you would a'calling go,
there are lovely carriages to take
dear dolly in.
I've made a careful list of all the
things | saw down there the other
day and am going to put it in the
Bee some day this week, watch for
it, it will be labeled Toyland, and
signed by Polly.

The winter flower hats are de-
lighted to bear flowers of the field as
we'll as those of the garden this sea-
son. A vivid toque of morning glor-
les bears out this statement.
Blouses Of Surprising loneliness
a SUBTLE beauty turks in every
"A one of the Flanders models
which they're showing with merited
pride this week at the F. w, Thorne
shop, 18th and Farnam. The cap
tivating new colors bid US prepare
for little play now that war worries
are almost over. There is one par
t,cularly charming shade, magma
tive in its beauty as its name-Sun-
set shade. One smart indeed, in its
consciousness of perfect beauty,
fashioned of this new shaded fabric
has yarn embroidery trim, a Slight
draping below the waistline proper.
with satin folded girdle outline. The
sleeves are decidedly new for in tres
parties are they! One in Indian red
with navy overdrape combination,
has deigned to use wooden beads in
refreshingly original coIors. The
sleeves hang very full over long,
tight cuffs. A bright green model
has embroidered motifs ending in
long cut beads which hang loose.
Two enhancing pockets hang below
the girdle of navy crushed satin. A
dull blue model has an accordian
pleated front extending below
soft folded satin girdle. OF art
touches mystifying unusual they're
a treat indeed!
