HOW AMERICA HELPS

APPRECIATION BY WOMENFOLK

A. recent American visitor declared that not until after tho war will tho world know the full' extent of America's asistance to tho parent AngloSaxon people in those days. It is already evident, however, that in addition to sending her glorious army to France, in addition to immense stores of munitions, aeroplanes and submarines, tlio land of the Stars and Stripes is hooping the overseas markets supplied with merchandise which British and Continental manufacturers at the moment are unable to furnish. For instance, we see Boath's, Christchurch, featuring American side by side with Parisian styles in its initial display of tho now season's fashionablo apparel and millinery during the present week. Boath's are fortunate in this rospect, standing in the enviableposition of having a complete range of tho npw models at a time when importations expected from Europe are still ' «omewhere." Beath's windows to-day form one of tho city's great attractions, and womenfolk arc showing a keen and practical appreciation. Elegant costumes and dainty frocks, some charming in their simplicity, others dashing—almost daring—in their conception, all fascinatin- and alluringly clever, are i/eing admired by thousands daily. A visit from visitors will be a , ""™ al pleasure. _____„
