In tbe Western World the use of silk was practically unknown until the beginning of our era —anci only then as a luxury almost beyond price. About the year 550 A.JL, the Emperor Justinian met two Persian monks who had long resided in China and there learned the wdiole art and mystery of sillovorm rearing. Justinian induced them to return to China and attempt to bring to Europe the material necessary for the cultivation of silk, which they effected by concealing the eggs of a silkworm in a hollow cane. Erom the precious contents of that bamboo tube, brought to Justinian’s Court in Constantinople, were produced all the varieties of silkworm which thereafter stocked and supplied the Western World. The work that Justinian began, the evolution of Trade has completed. Modern commercial enterprise lias brought silk to all sections of the community, and so with _ the thousand and one necessities to outdaily lifeIn every issue of the “Manawatu Evening Standard” are contained the announcemeuts of Palmerston North’s leading stores. Thus the retail section is a medium through which our community can learn of the good things the stores are offering—the things which make life more comfortable and pleasurable.
