" And so Dad has given you a surprise eh! with a new wireless set?” "Too true, Mrs. Brown, and we had such a laugh because Dad met a friend, and he told him about the relaying, and with his characteristic nationality he said—‘ I’ve some broken eggs, I wonder if they will relay them ! “ How clever, but let me compliment you on your beautiful line of washing, Mrs. Brown. How do you get it so white?” “ Well, it is like this. Dad is so pleased when any newfree samples for washing are left. He just thinks they work miracles, and all that I have to do is to see the clothes wash and hang themselves. “ But it is all rubbish, Miss. I’ve given up experimenting. Time is too precious, and clothes too expensive. I m boss in the home and laundry and not Dad. There’s nothing to equal or surpass the Bar of Pure Soap. When I w'as in England it always maintained its popularity and the largest makers like Knights, Youngs, and others sold daily thousands of tons. Here in New Zealand to my surprise they make a superior Soap, and our Government now protects the Housewife.” “ But, Mrs. Brown, are you up-to-date?” “ Now, Miss Jones, I’ve had more experience than you and I’m fortunate in having a boy attending the University. He’s studying Chemistry and finds Laboratory work most interesting. We were only talking about the subject of cleaning and washing last night, and he said that the things that they analysed and found lacking in their supposed virtues were astounding. Soap flakes, soap shavings, washing compounds, and tablets, etc., all came under his notice, and talking about the latter, he said it proved they can’t be so wonderful when according to instructions you have also to use so many inches of Laundry Soap.” " Ah, well, we folk may be fooled some of the time, but not all the time. I can’t help but agree with you Mrs. Brown. I must now buzz off as Mum wants some things from the grocer. I suppose like us you are still going to stick to the good old favourite, * Taniwha,’ and I’m buying another large bar now.” “Too true, Miss, ‘TANIWHA ’ is a Wonderful Soap !” o m IMiP'
