WOMEN AND SHOPPING.
PATRIOTISM FORGOTTEN. Received May 19, 10.45 a.m. LONDON, May 17. The Daily Graphic states that Lady Cowan, the wife of the member of Parliament for North Islington, is finding the greatest difficulty in organising an Empire shopping week. Very few towns have consented to show only Empire products. The Army and Navy store is practically the only London shop to do so. The Graphic adds: “Women forget patriotism wlfn they go shopping. Not ev<jn for one week in the year can the heart of the Empire forego its foreign goods—French clothes, German toys and American tinned foods. Nevertheless, Lady Cowan is undismayed and is organising a ball in a Hyde Park hotel with a supper entirely composed of Empire foods."—Sydney Sun cable.
