Mm I go to Business ' ' / : ” . and it’s my business to look as smart as I can without upsetting my budget. Consequently, I choose my clothes at the smartest store in town, so that I get things that are becoming as well as serviceable. Of course, I use the “ lay-by ”■ system, which makes the payment so easy. When I see a coat or a frock or a handbag, or anything at all that is just exactly the thing I want, I pay a deposit on it and pay it off as I have the money to spare. The result is: my wardrobe is no longer full of “ flops ” bought because they were bargains—and that, after all, is real saving. "~>v * I am a and am proud of my home. My friends often wonder how I manage to have beautiful curtains and linen and china, when my husband’s salary is no" more than theirs. It isn’t a secret. I just buy ahead, and, of course, I use the D.I.C. “lay-by” system. instance, I want a down quilt this winter, so yesterday when I was in the D.I.C. I saw one that wasNtha exkct tonings to go with my room. I paid a deposit on it, and I’ll pay it off as.l have the money to spare. If I waited till the winter I would have to put up with a much inferior quilt, because I could not spare the price of a good one. .■ What we Mean by “Lay-By” (1) A deposit of not less than 10% is required, with a minimum of 2/6 in any case, except in the case of Mantle, Millinery, and other fashion goods, where the minimum deposit is to bo not less than 25%. (2) Instalments of the balance should be paid at least once a month. (3) Failure to pay instalments for three months will result in the article being returned to stock, with forfeiture of the amount already paid, (4) In the case of fashion goods, such as Hats or Frocks, the purchase must be completed within three months. ~ .
