Mi: sBI U| |R M Hullo folks. * The other day a man 'phoned me, he wouldn't give his * name, but he said he had a couple of funny stories for > this column. They are pretty » good, so I'm passing one on > this week. * : i : The wedding was over and the happy couple were on their way to the honeymoon * hotel. The nearer they got, » the more nervous the bride * became and finally she had a bright idea and said to her e husband, "John, when we » arrive don't you think we ♦ could pretend we've been * married for years?" John * looked at her intently and * replied, "Alright dear, but * do you think you can manage the four suitcases?" * mil * > >■ Did you see our Leader ss, Counter last week? It looked * like a bower of flowers and > fruit. I was ready fooled * because I thought they were » real, in fact to tell the truth, » I went over to smell the » roses but no perfume, » they were plastic! If you * managed to secure some I'm ♦ sure you'll want some more, * and if you missed out, well * don't worry because we have * a new shipment released today a further supply * of . . . LILY OF THE VAL- * LEY, LILIES. HYDRANGEAS. * DAISIES, ROSES and FRUIT, > plus some entirely new num- * bers . . LARKSPURS, DELM PHINIUMS, GLADIOLI, » BLOSSOM SPRAYS, TULIPS » and CYCLAMEN . . . priced » from 1/6 to 17/6 for the > larger blooms. You might ♦ think that these artificial but * life-like fruit and flowers * would be dust coHectors, but * they're not, for they can be * washed easily. » » By the way I've heard a way > to overcome their lack of > perfume just soak a » piece of cotton wool in a * matching flower fragrance * and tuck it in among the * stalks. * Coming from my office into * the store I pass through the * China Dept., and I can't help but be impressed by the * * beautiful DINNERWARE that's being opened up daily. * Latest arrival is in a pattern * called "Savanna" so fresh and clean looking with companion pieces in plain » mimosa and an attractive * check, white ground with a * light broken check design in > matching yellow and black. * Made by Midwinter Modern in Staffordshire, England, it's * quality ware because the * pattern is under the glaze —it won't wear off. A 36- * piece utility set is £B/15/-, the 51 -pee. set £l7/15/- and there are individual pieces, * cups and saucers 6/9, bread * and butter plates 3/7, jugs 11/3, 12/11, cruet sets 15/6 36 included. * : # : * A small boy was boasting ♦ about his uncle in the Army * . . "The longer he stays in * the Army the ranker he * gets!" ♦ ■■ a : * Remember, if you've any ♦ shopping problems, do come ond see me or 'phone * - 64-389, I'm always ready to help. ♦ JM€
