Spring Makes Her Bow ff/SgfbN’CE more Spring makes her bow, bringing joy and life into a winter-wearied world. Softly, silently, IvS/A a ’ most * m P erce P t ’bly, she supplants the outworn g&j® winter; and the crocuses push their heads through the cool, damp earth to promise that the sun’s greet--1 ing will be warmer, cheerier, day by day. The world becomes a joyous paradise of buds and shoots, and freshly-plumaged birds. Alone of all living things, the drooping snowdrop mourns the winter, while narcissi raise their glorious golden heads and the delicately-folded, pastelshaded tulips display their rich, soft beauty. Comes, too,' the gambolling lamb and the lark’s sweet song. * * /. > >■) Man responds to nature’s impulse and finds fresh hopes and new ambitions. Outdoors makes her first subtle appeal to him, and the summons reaches even to the busy desks of office workers and makes the daily round more pleasant and purposeful. Now it is that plans are born, for the future promises fair weather, and long-sought goals seem a little nearer . Spring flowers, awaiting buyers in city streets —symbols of golden opportunities. Brighter colours come behind the clear panes of shop windows. No longer do those frigid, impersonal barriers seem like transparent prison walls, the rainbow of colour has brought a new appeal to passers-by, and “Spring Fashions” is the magic password that coaxes money from every husband’s pocket. * * * ■ Spring claims this tribute first in London and Paris and New York, and then in India; a little later in Nairobi, Johannesburg and Capetown; in Sydney and Melbourne; and, lastly, at the conclusion of her six months’ trip, across the World, in New Zealand. Humanity has crowned Spring queen of the seasons. Autumn’s charm is her beauty, with its mute sadness; nobody wants Winter; the long sunny days of Summer and its pleasant evenings may give the greatest enjoyment. But Spring is life, and it is for her early approach that mankind watches most eagerly. / I ' . So Spring comes, an ever-welcome guest, but .never so welcome as now, as she steps upon the threshold. ■ • .■L'L/T • > :J y.; ■ r V TOSSMAN’S I SPRING SUITS SPRING COATS I Beautifully Tailored j A Wonderful Selection of Fur Stoles and n Necklets I 116 Willis Street Spring is Here— The Garden calls You want SEEDS, SEEDLINGS and FERTILISERS of SEEDSMEN’S QUALITY Vegetables and Flowers of good quality cannot be grown without first sowing genuine seeds.
