Children's Toys
THE opening of Messrs. Dean's parcel of hygienic dolls and toys is always an exciting moment, for Messrs. Dean never fail to produce sonic new kind of toy of exceptional charm. This year their special novelty is a miniature of Mickey Mouse, with immense yellow flannel feet and white flannel hands, but his chief charm is indubitably his indict-rubber tail. The price of this new toy varies according to its size from 2s. 6d. to 15s. The eyes of Minny Mouse, his mate, for the same price, are perhaps too wandering for his contentment, but the two together will entertain many of their picture- going public. The most cuddlesome toy is, however, what is known as a " Silkeen Bunny," in silk plush in a variety of colours from mauve to apricot, and in a variety of sizes. The price varies from Is. 9d. to lls. Od., according to size. It is the softest
toy imaginable. " Sylvie," in her pink velvet, fur-trimmed suit should have many admirers (3s. 6d. to 85s., according
to size). For the very tiny baby there is a big, soft, many- coloured ball, which when rattled produces a gentle, musical chime (the price varies from Is. 9d. to I2s.). This year's selection of toys is as delightful as usual, if not more so. The rag books at various prices are just as useful in the nursery as rag books have always been for the last twenty years. Their prices range from 9d. to 3s. 6d.
