They have everything you can think of! They can show 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 realf 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 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 Eupply tha house, ready-built, with furniture, plain or elaborate. Meal 3 can be prepared and cooked on real stove?, and dinner or tea can be laid for any number. After tha manufacture of clothes by hand or sewing machine, laundry operations in up-to-riate fashion can be undertaken —the ironing being quite a feature. .Shopping may be indulged in, all the requisites of a store being at hand.
