REVIEW OF REVIEWS. 



21! 



We are anxious to help our readers 

 who are going home as much as pos- 

 sible, and the announcements which ap- 

 pear in our columns each month are 

 therefore only all of reliable hotels, 

 stores, and shops, of which we our- 

 selves have had experience. There are 

 many things which naturally can be 

 better obtained at Home than here. The 

 variety is infinite, the quality is excel- 

 lent, and the cost must be much less 

 than here. Much shopping is done b)' 

 Australians in London, and there are 

 several thhigs which every visitor there 

 purchases before returning. 



For instance, in order to accommodate 

 the things taken back one must get 

 trunks, and it is cheaper in the long 

 run to get good ones. A visit to Henry 

 S. Box, at 251 Kensington High Stree*:, 

 would be well worth while. Amongst 

 the wide range of boxes and trunks he 

 stocks are many made of the light but 

 tough material used by Sir Ernest 

 Shackleton on his Antarctic. expedition. 

 He has also a large variety of dressing 



cases specially made for oversea use. 

 Readers here can get these by mail if 

 they wish. A good reliable waterproof 

 IS a necessity in England, and even 

 more so in Scotland. An excellent one 

 can be obtained in Edinburgh from the 

 Caledonian Rubber Co., who make a 

 speciality of supplying their coats 

 through the mail. Every housewife 

 wants to keep her linen cupboard 

 stocked, but wants at the same time to 

 know that' what she is getting is thor- 

 oughly reliable stuff. She could not do 

 better than go to Wm. Owen, who 

 specialises in this department. For 

 curtain material and coverings Messrs. 

 J. J. Allen, of Bournemouth, are unsur- 

 passed. They have brought the mail 

 order business to such a pitch of per- 

 fection that i^urchasers obtain all the 

 satisfaction they would get by personal 

 shopping. For her own dresses she 

 could not do better than call at Kate 

 Newtown's, Great Portland Street, where 

 an immense selection of the latest Paris 

 and Vienna model gowns are on view.
