MBS POWDEELL-JONES WAS PERPLEXED! Spring’s early arrival found her faced with the problem of brightening up the home. For several weeks she had hesitated broaching the subject to Mr P.-J. —that estimable gentleman had just received demands for rates, .insurance premiums fell due shortly—he had inferred that to “do the home up ” would entail further heavy expenditure. Was Mrs P.-J. discouraged? Not she! A visit to Wren’s, the Paint and Wallpaper people, in Princes street, disclosed the fact that first-class papers were offering at sale prices from 6d per roll; Paint, Brushes, and all the little incidentals were greatly reduced; enamels and stains were to be had almost at cost. She made a list of her requirements, took it to Wren’s, marked in the prices at which everything could be secured, and brought it to “ paterfamilias’ ” notice. A fortnight later the Powdrell-Jones’s home was the envy of all beholders I There’s still time for you to secure your needs at Wren’s while stocktaking reductions rule, but make an early visit.—[Advt.]
