The London correspondent of the Southland Daily News writes: If we are to Believe all we hear, the really important feature of this New Year is the appearance of men at bargain sales. Being one of the modest ones of the earth, these are functions I do not attend, but this I can attest from personal and ocular evidence, that in the Strand—heretofore innocent of any sort of big bargain sale—there have been queues for sales which one could almost have described of being of men only. The slump in the price of boots and clothing began some time ago, and special shops for their sale were opened but these are showing still further falls, and good strong boots at 18s, and good reach-me-down suits at £1 or £2 are now with us again after many years. Even in the more uplifted West End, and where the * well-dressed woman did not expect a coat and skirt this many a day for any but a two-figure price, she can get a West End tailormade cut on the lines of a man’s overcoat, made of check Cheviot overcoating, with welted pockets, extraordinary value for five guineas—a. fall to onethird original price.”
