Dear Julia, —You will be interested to hear that we have just got back after a most enjoyable holiday. We found holi-day-making fairly expensive, and towards the end found our cash running short. This was rather awkward for me, as I had made up my mind to replace my old saucepans, and also to purchase a few new table knives and forks, as well as a few - other lines in crookery and kitchen utensils. We had only a few pounds left when we started on my buying expedition, and didn't I get a shock. I went into one store and priced a few articles, and the prices were so frightfully high that I came out again without purchasing. I had fully made up my- mind -.-c do without the goods when I happened to call in at ‘The People’s Emporium." I was quite surprised at the difference in price. The result was that I got my saucepans, and knives and forks and’all the other goods I wanted, and picked up quite a lot of other things besides. I am ao pleased that I called in there; if I had not done so I would have been compelled to come home without the goods I required so badly. I will write more fully next week. Love to all, from yours affectionately. Auntie.*
