FAIRYLAND.

They have everything you can think of! They can Bhow you regiments of soldiers with all their equipment—arms and aeroplanes — even to bugles and drums. Navies, which would be welcomed by the combatant nations were they real, men to wan the vessels—sailing boats, tor-pedo-boats, battleships—everything! Children live there, of course—children of all ages; even the "old woman who lived in a shoe" bad not so many. Everything which delights childhood and every requirement of childhood, from the cradle to the trousseau, is to be found in fairyland. They can provide the wherewithall or building a house, tool?, bricks and all; they can supply the house, ready-built, with furniture, plain or elaborate. Meals can be prepared and cookfd on real stoves, and dinner or tea can be laid for any number. After the manufacture of clothes by hand or eewing machine, laundry operations in up-to-date fashion can be undertaken—the ironing being quite a feature. Shopping may be indulged in, all the requisites of a store being at hand. Or a /isit to the pictures can be arranged. The material for all engineering work is available, as well bb the material of the artist and the painter. And, power is on the spot to run any machinery for any manufacturing operation whatsoever. Schools, weekday and Sunday, with their whole stock-in-trade, are there. The animal world is as well represented as the inanimate world. All ths domestic ani-mals-horses, with or without carts, cows, sheep, pigs, cats, dogs, fowls and the whole family of Noah's Ark are in evidence. Facilities for travel are many—trains, motor cars and screw steamers await passengers. All the standing favourite toys of boyhood and girlhood—knives and sewing materials, tops and skipping ropes—find place in Fairyland. This is not an exaggeration. All these things and many more are to be seen at Robinson's. We believe that you think as much of your boy or girl bs your neighbour thinks of his, and that your child is worth a "Happy Christmas."
