"It may be newa to you"

I'm a regular Peeping Tom when it comes to looking in the window at YOUNGS JEWELLERS. But there’s certainly something rather special there!

Antique and estate jewellery are a specialty at Youngs. They've currently gleaned a fascinating range of pendants, brooches, rings and sterling silver oval-shaped lockets . . . each piece with a special beauty of its own.

It's noticeable that Youngs' antique jewellery is surprisingly mod and in keeping with today's fashion trends. Prices, on today’s values, are most reasonable too, considering the quality of the materials in which each jewellery piece is created.

Seeking a quaint charm for your charm bracelet? Youngs have some rare old letter seals. And among the antique watches (all restored mechanically) I noticed a handsome fob watch in an engraved silver case, priced at $32.50, at YOUNGS JEWELLERS ... Union Centre Arcade. Phone 62-411. ★ ★ ★ ★

Here’s a handy thought for the next rainy day. Sort through your linen . . . decide roughly what you need to replenish stocks, then phone 64-107 . . . that's THE LINEN SHOP, 138 a Hereford Street.

Mr or Mrs Roberts will bring samples to your home at a time convenient to you, and this way shopping's a pleasure.

Currently showing, I noticed mod looking flannelette sheets. In D.B. size, they're in mango, gold, lilac, ming blue and apricot, at $7.95 a pair. Gift linen includes glorious Chinese supper cloth-and-serviette sets, exquisitely handcrocheted and embroidered . . . just one of the many delights in dream linen, available on Lay-By if you wish, at THE LINEN SHOP.
