THESE SUBSTITUTES
HOW LUCKY WE ARE
Among other things which are rapidly becoming unprocurable are linen shoe laces. An enquiry at one Whakatane shop yesterday showed that stocks are dwindling and a New Zealand substitute is now on the market. Though they will doubt less prove to be as effective as those to which we have been accustomed, they are certainly less attractive, being waxed and dyed string. Tlie colouring is not heavy enough to disguise the string but as long as stocks of shoe polish last, r.o doubt some improvement will be effected. But how lucky Ave are! Latest reports state that the women | of Germany arc malting dresses out jof fish skins!
