HOME OF FAIRY QUEEN".
Titania's Palace, the product of the imagination of Major Sir Neville Wilkinson, of the Coldstream Guards, is due to arrive in Auckland on January 6, and will be shown at Milne and Choyce, Ltd., until February 8, the proceeds being destined for the Mayor of Auckland's endowment fund for the Crippled Children's Home.
Measuring 20 feet by IS feet, it contains more than 4000 tiny works of art to the scale of one inch to the foot. There are nurseries full of tiny toys, tiny electric lamps, models of ships and even a motor car, golf clubs, sponges, tooth brushes —everything that one. might expect to find in a real palace. There is a church organ 12 inches high which will play real music. Titania's Palace is far more than a glorified dolls' house.
