FAIRYLAND.

They have everything you can ttiinkof! They can show you regiments of soldiera with all their equipment—arms and aeroplafces—even to buglea and drumß. Navies, which would be welcomed by the combatant nations were they real, men to rnan the vessels —sailing boats, t"r-pedo-boats, battleships—everything! , Children live there, of course—children of all ages; even the "old woman who lived in a shoe" liad not qo 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, tools, bricks and all; they can supply the house, ready-built, with furniture, plain or elaburate. Meals can'*be prepared ary3 cooked-on real Btoves, and dinner or tea can be laid for any number. After th 9 manufacture of clothes by hand or sewing 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 Jthe pictures can be arranged. The material for all engineering work is available, as well aB the material of the artist and the painter. And, power is on the spot to run any machinery fur any manufacturing operation whatsoever. Schools, weekday and Sunday, with their whole stock-in-trade, are there. The animal world is as well represented aa the inanimate world. All the domestic animals—horses, **ith or without carts, cows, sheep, pigß, cats, dogs, fowls and the whole family of Noah's Ark are in evidence. Facilities for travel are many—trains, m,otor cars and screw steamers await passengers. All the standing favourite toys of boyhood and girlhood —knives and sewing matt rials, tops and skipping roped—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 ai much of your boy or girl as your neighbour thinks of his, and that your child is worth a "Happy Christmas." We help in this by keeping out prices down—not merely in one or two "draw" lines, but in all lineß. The war has not affected our prices so far. Came and see! We have also plenty of presents suitable for grown-ups. Our etock of ladies' hand bags and ladies' companions are really splendid. We have ladies' and gent's, dressing cases, writing cases, beautiful inkstands, ornaments, jewel caskets, mirrors, rose bowls, hall seta in many styles, screens to v hide ugly fireplaces when fireß are not necessay—but yoj will tire of reading this far Booner than you will tire of looking at our beautiful stock. We extend a hearty invitation to you to visit our showroom and we hope you will accept it.*
