They have everything you can think of! They can show you regiments of soldiers with all their equipment —arnn and aeroplanes — even to bugles and drums. Navies, which would be welcomed by the combatant nations were they real, men to man the vessels —sailing boats, t'r-pedo-boatß, battleships—everything !

Children live there, of course —children of all ages; even the "old woman who lived in a shoe" had not bo many. Everything which delights childhood and every requirement of childhood, from the cradle to the trousseau, is to be found in fairyland.
