SUMMER SALE AT G. H. STILES’.
The militant suffragettes in the Old Country get very little for their pains except doubtful notoriety and varying terras of imprisonment. Their tactics do not appeal to the majority of New Zealand women, who adopt more peaceful means to secure their ends. And what might cause the window smashers considerable surprise; the pacific methods of their New Zealand sisters usually prove most effective. Dear knows what would happen if an army of London suffragettes invaded Foxton on the eve of the opening of G, H. Stiles’ Stock Reduction Sale, ft is pretty certain that their march would come to a sudden halt opposite the windows of the White Douse and that a flank movement would be made to investigate the bargains displayed therein. Then the excitement would commence. Those voteless women could no more resist attacking the bargain citadel than they could refrain from throwing stones at Mr Lloyd George. On the other hand, Foxton residents will wait till Thursday morning at nine o’clock, when the doors will open on this Great Sale. The bargain that fill every department to overflowing will quickly diminish in volume when these eager quick-eyed shoppers get down to' business. Men folk, too, will find it hard to resist the temptation to join their wives, mothers and sisters in an expedition to this Sale of Sales, Money saving will be the fashion in Foxton, while Stiles Sale lasts. Thursday morning at nijjp 1 will be a good tunc to walk down town to the White House,—Advt.
