THINK OF THE MOTHERS!
It’s the mother who is rearing the children which are to be the pride of Dunedin who will suffer most by doing awav with the Saturday afternoon anß evening’s'opportunity for shopping. If the question is to be fairly faced, it is this: the slight increase of, pleasure-giving facilities of a number (really a few) shop assistants versus the convenience, comfort, and pleasure of the great proportion of the mothers of the people! The shop assistants now have their Wednesday. Let us stick to the Wednesday half-holiday—it has plenty of facilities for pleasure—and not do this injustice to the hard-working wives of the wage-earners and the mothers of Dunedin generally. R526
