SHOULD WE ECONOMISE?

The views of notable people ou the question of personal economy in war-time is a question that will interest every woman reader. In “Everylady’s Journal” for June the Australian Minister of Defence and Mrs Pearce, Mr Theodore Fink, Mrs Janies of the Overseas Club, and Mr O. Williams, one of Unloading bankers of Australia, all contribute short articles on the subject of economy and thrift. They all agree that it is necessary that we should economise, but they also agree that the best way to do this is to spend judiciously and not to hoard savings and go short on necessities.

As Mr Fink says ; “What, we want is a campaign of thrift, and it is not a moment too soon to begin ; money spent or invested wisely is patriotic, money put into luxuries, gambling, and amusements is waste

of national strength.” In the June issue of Everylady’s Journal the editor has followed this note throughout. For example, there are pages of advice on the most economical methods of buying and cooking food, and there are pages devoted to hints on how money may be made as well as saved. Among the special features in this issue is a beautifully illustrated article in which Mr Leslie Gaze —the well-known actor —tells leaders how a living may be made from keeping pigeons. An illustrated story about that highest salaried, person in the world —Mr “Charlie Chaplin,”—is well worth reading. It seems to us the patriotic' duty of every woman to buy Everylady’s Journal as a genuine Australian magazine. Its fine stories and articles, and scores of fashion designs, and several free patterns, make it fine value for sevenpence. If unobtainable locally, Everylayd’s Journal will be sent by post to any address for six' months if a 3s (id postal not is sent to T. Shaw Fitehett, 376 Swanston Street, Melbourne.
