PALE FOUR Laan "Darling!" exclaimed a mother, in that tone of patient exasperaton one hears sometimes, "you must not touch!" And she gently unscrambled a fat, brown rhinocerous from the child's blond hair, The counter with the cir- cus animals was a little high for daughter to reach, but she had man- aged to bring one animal down--into her hair, as it happened! To enjoy visiting a toy store, one must take a child along, The more imagination the child possesses, the better, A little girl, who started the day pleasantly by inventing a game of her own--of counting all the blue velvet coats she saw--was a great help. She had one objective--a doll ~the price to be within a dollar, She wanted a small doll, anyway, she said, 80 she could makes clothes for it, Do Your Shopping Early This sort of excursion must be con- ducted early in the season to be truly enjoyable, One couldn't have near so much fun later, when the aisles are crowded and the salespeople are weary, After stopping to admire some very beautiful little music boxes that tinkled little bell-like tones, and a glass case with a village, and a whole railroad system in it, switches, a sta- tion, street lights, a stop and go sign and a train, of course, it was decided to go and visit the dolls immediately. There were just ever so many dolls to choose from, even if one's pur- chase was limited to one precious dol- lar. They ranged in size from a tiny person who could hide under a stamp --at least under a Special 'Delivery stamp, all dressed, too, in a crocheted costume, to a large fat baby doll with a mild blank expression, all of twelve inches high--which was mark®d "Spe- cial, 95 cents." Take Your Thoice in Dolls There were just a few dressed dolls ~most of them were waiting for a small, loving mother to clothe them. How very difficult to choose! There were ever so many sizes of small, jointed dolls, some with eyes that shut and opened, real hair and little painted shoes and stockings. Here again a careful selection must be made--dark hair or light--blue eyes or brown--four little costumes to choose from. * Having chosen z sweet little brown-eyed girlie with a white hat and a red dress, and white shoes and stockings, then, that im- portant matter being settled, one could visit the other dolls at one's leisure. The young lady often was very much interested in some lovely dolls from Italy, . They had pretty "char- acter" faces, fluffy hair, cunning fuil dresses with bits of bright felt for trimming, and carried most animated expressions. Then there were other American dolls, in quite modern dresses, pretty little corn' colored or- ie frocks with hand work on the ront and tiny, fitted hats to match. The organdie costume came also in rose and apole green. Dolls From the Funnies There were the cartoon dolls, too-- characters from the funnies, made of stamped, pebbled oilcloth, that should fast for some time, even with the most energetic handling. Oh, yes, there were doll things to look at. Little trunks that would close and lock. When opened, there was the doll and all her wearing ap- parel. Some of these supplied brush and comb, and a tiny bar of soap and 2 wash cloth and towel. At another place, one could pur- chase a complete outfit for washing dollie clothes. There was 2 tub on 2 little table, a real-for-sure-enough children's typewriters, too, These ey | make useful fg Here Musical T If a young person is inclined to music, Dad and Mother will find all sizes of pianos at the toy shop for =, this person's use, There are cunning small @nes for her doll, There are larger ones, the size of a packing box, that will really play, Then there is one still larger that is a really truly piano and has a complete key- board and all, It stands about three and one-half feet high, This would be admirable as a gift to the child who cares for music, With her doll and her beads and a present for her older sister, she was ready to go home and tell Mother all about it, She was to do her Christmas shopping a little later and felt amply prépared by the day's visit, not only to do her own shop- ing for gifts, but to advise, expert- y, any member of the family bound on the same errand, UNIQUE COLLECTION OF NUTS AT WINTER FAIR FROM CANADA Amongst the varied and excellent exhibits of horticultural products at the Royal Winter Fair, was a large ' &% collection of nuts grown in Canada and the northern United States, This o exhibit was staged under the direc- tion of Fruit Branch, Ontario Dept. of Agriculture, and was in charge of | § Jas.
