Felicity Has Some Ideas For Father

(By

Betty R.)

“There’s no reason at all,” remarked Felicity, “why there should not be a Father’s Day. I think the poor dears are just as much entitled to some recognition as the mothers.” She thought for a minute and then she said : “Let’s make a Father’s Day. I don’t suppose anyone would mind, and I have heard a few injured remarks from oue or two ever since I bad those Ideas about Mother's Day. Well,” she concluded, “here are a few ideas for them, anyway. . . .” Father Buys at Brailsford’s. A warm, woolly dresshig-gowu for Father—a good-looker and only 32/6. 39/6' and 45/- at Brailsford’s. Overcoats, too, are clearing at 30/-, 39/6, and 55/ —beautiful coats reduced beyond measure! Brailsford’s is at 120 Courtenay Place. Father Plays Safe. In purchasing a new ear, the family man has one problem that is more important than all others—the car must lie easy to drive, safe for all the family, That is why the Morris has proved so popular. It is built for safety—safety on the long road, safety in the city, safety in emergency. Notice the big road-gripping tyres, the hydraulic bralees, the low centre of gravity, the ease of control I The Dominion Motors, Ltd., Courtenay Place, welcome you to a trial run! TuektrelVs Latest.
