FAIRYLAND.

They have everything ,von ran think of! They can show vn- "3giments cf soldiers with all their equipment—arm* and seroplsnes — even to bugles and drums. Navies, which would be welcomed by the combatant nations were they real, men Jo man 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" 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, tools, bricks and all; they can supply the house, ready-built, with furniture, plain or elaborate. Meals can be prepared and cooked on real stoves, and dinner or tea can b9 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 bung quite a feature. Shopping may be indulged in, all the requisites of a 3tore being at hand. Or a fisit to the pictures can be arranged. The material for all engine ring work is available, as well as tne 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 aa well represented as the inanimate world. All the domestic animals—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 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 siot 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 b's your neighbour thinks of his, and that your child is worth a "Happy Christmss." Wo you in this by keeping our prices down—rot merely in one or two "draw" lines, but in all lines. The war has not affected our prices so far. Gome 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 caßes, beautiful inkstands, ornaments, jewel caskets, mirrors, rose bowls, hall sets in many styleß, screens to hide ugly fireplaces when fires are not necassay—but you will tire of reading this far sooner than you will tire of looking at our beautiful stock. We extend a hearty invitation to you to visit cur ebcwreom and we hope you will accept it.*
