Those who complain of the high cost of living in New Zealand would probably find more reason to complain if they lived in France. The price level for common articles of food iu the South of France is well illustrated in a letter sent to her parents in Christchurch by Mrs. A. C. Litster. of Villefranche, says the Christchurch “Press.” Mrs. Litser says that butter costs 3/a pound, tea from 6/- to 10/- a pound meat 3/4 a pound, and a small loaf of bread is sold at Bd. Other goods are in correspondence with these prices.
