SHOPPING WITH A NOTEBOOK

Felicity Sees Things (By Betty It.) ”1 wish 1 knew what was the matter with my watch,” said Felicity, as she studied it reflectively. “Yesterday it gained all day and I had to wait for all my appointments, and to-day it has been ‘losing and 1 have been late all day. Don’t tell me> to take it to a jeweller,” she added quickly, “because I’ve been to three already and have paid each one of them six or seven shillings, and it is just the same as ever it was.” “Why not buy a new watch?” suggested someone brightly. Felicity scowled. "Don’t be futile,” she retorted; “and if I am going to be in time for' that afternoon tea appointment,” she added, “I’ll have to move, and move quickly.” She pulled on. a hat and picked up her coat. “Before 1 go,” she said, “I’ll give you people something to think about.
