Unemployment in Australia reported by trade unions in the quarter ended June 30 amounted to 10.5 per cent, of reporting unions’ membership, compared with 7.9 per cent, the previous quarter and 9.5 per cent in the corresponding quarter of last year. Thirty-five pieces or floral cambric opened up this week from England, and their appearance pleased us very much. 1 his touch of summer can add a colourful spot to vour wardrobe. Colours are bright; shades and price are right; and washing results will never worry you. If you are wise, you will buy your requirements early this season. The price of these cambrics is 2s for 36in —remarkable value to-day—at Collinson and Cunninghame’s, of course.*
