THE PIRATE’S CAVE.
TREASURE FOR THE CHILDREN. There is no child who would not be thrilled to shake hands with a real pirate guarding a real treasure. That opportunity is now open to children at George and Doughty’s open warehouse, Currie Street. All children also love to'" shake hands with and speak to Father Christinas. He is also there. In fact everything is there. The cave is downstairs and is entered through the gaping mouth of a bold pirate. The child is immediately confronted with numerous skulls and. crossbones, but there is something which attracts the attention more, for in the comer, jealously guarding his huge treasure chest and with his barrel of gunpowder beside him, is a pirate, as fierce as any who fought over the spoils of Treasure Island. From the cave the children pass to another section where they are welcomed by Father Christmas sitting beside his Christmas tree. The entire grotto is surrounded by pictures from nursery rhymes and everywhere the. children turn they are confronted with sights which make them happy. Before leaving each child is presented with a free gift and a balloon, something by which to remember his .visit to the bold bad pirate, and Father by arrangement
