FAIRYLAND.
They have everything you can think of! They can show you regiments of soldiers with all their equipment—arm 3 and aeroplanes—even to bugles and drums. ■ Navies, which would be welcomed by the combatant Rations were ihey real, men to man the vessels —sailing boats, t'r-pedo-boats, battleships—everything ! Children live there, of course—children of all ages; even the "old woman whrt lived in a shoe 5 ' 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 wherewithail or building a house, tool:', bricks and all; they can supply the house, ready-built, with furniture, plain or elaborate. Meal 3 can be prepared and cooked on renl stoves, and dinner or tea can be laid for any number. After the manufacture of clothes by hand or sewing machine, laundry operations in up-to-date fashion can be undertaken—the ironing bsing quite a feature. Shopping may be indulged in, all the requisites of a store being afc hand. Or a fisit to the pictures can be arranged. The material for all engineering Work is availahle, as well aa tnu 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 as the inanimate world. All the "domestic animals—horses, with 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, motor cars arid 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 a3 much of your boy or girl as your neighbour thinks of his, and that your child is worth a "Happy Christmas."
