JAPAN' FURNISHES
ENGLAND'S TOYS
London, Dec. 6—Japan has helped
out tlie English Christmas shop
ping season by providing the ba
zaars with enough toys to supply
tho war deficit. Before the war
Germany controlled almost the
entire British toy trade. English
toy industries have since started
up, but could not fill all the orders
frrm the shops. Then an importing
lirm sent samples of German toys
to Japan. In some ways the Jap
anese output has exceeded expecta
tions. The new Japanese toys
iuclude. clockwork animals, such as
Jumipng dogs and horses, cheap
speaking dolls and imitation 6kin
animals. While npt a musical peo
ple in the Eropeaoi eenso the Jap
anese also manufacture toy musi
cal instruments.

Game of "Adjectives."
"Adjectives" Is an interesting game.
One of the players writes a letter,
which, of course, be does not show,
leaving a blank for every adjective.
He then asks each player in turn round
the table for an adjective, filling up the
blank spaccs with adjectives as he re
ceives them.
The following short letter will ex
plain the game better than a long de
scription. The quoted words aro the
given adjertlves:
My "Detestable" Friend—In answer to
your "amiable" letter I am "silly" to In
form you that the "fooli3h" and "de
graded" .Miss Jones sends you her most
"fallacious" thanks for your kindness and
bids me to tell you she will always think
of you as the "vainest" and most "adora
ble" friend she ever had. As for that
"sagacious" fellow. Smith, he Is such a
"delightful" donkey, such a "filthy" and
"eminent" muff you need not fear he will
prove a very "complicated" fellow.
Believe me, my "foolish" fellow, Yours;

PARISIAN IVORY ALWAYS
IN MILADY'S FAVOR
It is said that no other vogue
iu the modern history of women's
fads has enjoyed the continued
and universal popularity that lias
been the lot of Parisian ivory. It
has for bo long been, a feminine
foible cr fashion that it has al
most established itself as atraditioij
and has taken a place with its
edged-out contemporaries, ebony
and s'erling, as a permanent ac
cessory for milady's dressing table.
Complete sets and single pieces
to complet sets are more in demand
this season than eyer by the school
girl, the college girl, thq bride, or
housewife or grandmother.
Nq store has a more complete or
satisfactory display of Parisian
ivory than Keller Bros. Drug
company. This was secured by
f-hem in the East on an order placed
last spring with ths Arlington, Ivory
company, the largest manufacturers
of this ware in the country. It
will pay you to see this display and
buy early.
