Rubber Ankle Boots: Cost Of

these is approximately 18/3 per pair.

They have, however, been in exceedingly short supply for some months, although the position will probably improve with the approach of the Australian summer.

Gramophone Records: These

range in price from 2/11 for hot jazz “pops,” to 10/6 (and more) for classical numbers, (Note: It is easier to pack half a dozen records than to pack one).

TROUSERS: Jungle-green, herringbone drill at 10/6 per pair. These were a bar gain line, but there is still plenty of this class of goods available.

FLOWERS: From eight or nine shil lings (for a corsage) and up to anything you like, delivered in any capital city (and some large towns) or to departing ships.
