Miss JUNE BEHSOM BL Jfc THE D.I.C.s MAIL ORDER SHOPPER SAYS—GOOD MORNING, OUT-OF-TOWN FRIENDS! I have just returned from an extensive tour of the Store—the casual observer might say, “Yes, and quite an extensive chat to the buyer of each department’’—but, of course, that is all for a good cause; in fact, a very good cause, for I have been gathering in extraspecials for my country friends. Yes, this week. I have a wide and varied selection, gleaned from both down and upstairs departments—and to begin with, I must tell you about/the HANDY HABY. PARCEL . . . a bundle of useful every-day articles that every housewife needs. First of all,—and I’ll admit I was just as surprised and pleased as you will be—there’s 2yds. of Good English ELASTIC. Now, that alone makes this little parcel worth while, doesn t it—but that’s far from being all. There’s line Mending Silk in 8 new assorted shades, 3 colours in Wool Mending, 9 assorted sized Safety Pins, 12 Hair Clips, 6yds. of Tape, and 1 doz. Shirt and Trouser Buttons— AH for

There now, isn’t that just splendid! All those little things you can’t do without—and elastic, too! Well. I know you’ll all be writing in for this Haby. Parcel straight away—it’s really too good to be missed. And here’s mores news for you enthusiastic knitters—the D.I.C. has a surplus stock of Baby Wools. So out they go at much less than the ordinary price—and that’s your opportunity. Write in for your requirements now, for why not take advantage of the reduced prices. Clipper Baby Wool, in Pink and Blue, which is usually 1/5 skein, is now 1/* s^e^n Golden Eagle Polynit Baby Wool, in White and Blue, usually l/10i skein, is now j/g skein. And Excelsior Baby Wool, in White only; usually 1/lli, is now selling at only skein And don't forget that the Wool Department has a wonderful selection of the newest and most attractive knitting patterns, both for grown-ups and kiddies. How many of you have discovered that your every-day stockings have just about served their purpose? Yes,• stockings worn around the house, or put in the garden, certainly come in for some hard wear don’t they—and that’s why it’s wise to have two or three pair of really long-lasting and serviceable hose on hand—for instance, Lisle Stockings, for cooler days, at only /i/ J pair or good-fitting Rayon * Stockings at /-» pair. */ * They are not expensive, so you can have several pair—and don’t forget the coupons—2 ordinary clothing coupons per pair. While I was at the Hosiery Counter I noticed some Astrakhan Gloves, in Navy, Black and Brown, a t JW pair. Even though it is /z Spring, you’ll agree that we still have a touch of winter in the weather occasionally—and no one likes to have cold hands. On my way upstairs, I noticed a bundle of pyjamas being carried into our Men's Dept. “Ah, ha,’ thinks I, “this looks interesting!” So down those stairs I sped to see what it was all about—and here’s what I found. Strong-wearing, splendid-laundering pyjamas for father or son, in all sizes, for only 18/- pair. Don't you think it ’ pays to be curious sometimes?

Now, the reason for my going upstairs was to take a peep at the gay little Cotton Frocks that were advertised in Thursday’s paper. Remember the priceand at that price you can*®) "“I buy more than one—you'll want to. when you see the flattering styles and bright, gloom-dispelling floral designs. Al! sizes, too—and remember, it's 4 coupons for each frock. Even though I noticed at least half-a-dozen more items of interest of which I’d love to tell you, I'm afraid that there just isn't room in the paper th’s week. Never mind, I'll be here again next Saturday with more news for my country friends. Until then— GOOD SHOPPING AT THE D.I.C.
