HE mr word that warms the heart of the whole world and brings a smile to the little faces and a thrill of pleasure to their young hearts.« A toy, be it a trinket or a trifle, carries more real pleasure to the tod- dling tot or the growing boy or miss than the gift of a potentate to the matured man or woman. To the child a toy possesses some subtle influence that cannot be defined. In the throes of a fever a toy will bring a smile to the face of the little ones and light up the countenance with a gleam of appreciation that man, possessed as he |s of a stolc nature, could not even dissemble under the same conditions. To a child a toy is endowed with all the attributes their young NXE Imagination is capable of conjuring, and what we call their “make believe” playing is as earnestly and as assiduously carried out as the pursuits that bring the grown-ups their daily livelihood—to a child a toy speaks, acts and keeps pace with their imagination, “Toys” encompasses a world of gifts here from the thou- sand and one trinkets to the practical gifts, In New York, Toyland Is situated on the corner of Sixth Avenue and Twentieth Street, in the basement of this great store. From now until Christmas we're going to give an “at home” to the children in our toy section—invite them all to come and wander at will through toyland—see and play with the toys if they like, and to each child or parent that visits this section we'll give a handsome book entitled “A Trip to Toyland”—containing Christmas stories and on besides a picture of almost everything Santa Claus has ever made, It's a valuable book for parents, too—it will assist them In getting up a list for Santa Claus—tell the prices and give you many valuable hints, so that when you get ready to shop you'll know Just what you want. If you cannot come to the store— send us your name and we'll mall this pook free of charge, In our great basement toy section you will find New York's largest and most complete gathering of toys—and there’s not a single article in the entire section that was nat purchased this season, Here are special values for pre-holiday shoppers: Magic lanterns, 81.00, Jointed dolls, 78¢.
