Felicity Sees Things

(By Betty IL)

"We have a houseful of visitors,” Felicity told me, "and I can scarcely breathe at home. People seem to be everywhere, sitting in till the best armchairs, nudging my elbows at mealtimes, borrowing my golf clubs, my umbrella and my books. I am tired of them.”

"You don't sound a very sociable person this afternoon,” I suggested/ "Nor would you be,” retorted that young lady, "if you had spent all the morning with two particularly difficult women who wanted to be shown the best shops for their purchasing. Thank goodness,” she concluded, "I did have something really worth while to tell them. . . .”

Fur Coals at Bargain Brices! At Universal Fur Co.’s sale many beautiful fur coats are offered at absurdly low prices while the sale lasts. The bargains in fur coats and necklets are a revelation 1 The Universal Fur Co., 76 Manners Street, Wellington, and The Square, Palmerston North.

Buy That Present at “Peggy's:’ “Peggy's/’ 234 Lambton Quay, have gay little tables in painted wood bordered with bright flowers, artistic trays, door stops, book rests. I saw some very nice cushions there, too, and a selection of hand-woven covers, scarves, etc.

When your leather coat becomes shabby and rubbed, do not cast it aside. There is an entirely new process of refinishing all leather goods—gloves, shoes, upholstery as well as coats.

That deep shade of maroon is ultrafashionable this winter as "Elizabeth’s” striking millinery display, next Stewart Dawson’s, on Lambton Quay, will show you. These hats arc bewitchingly smart in shapes that are as flattering to Miss Seventeen as they are to the woman of middle age. And don’t think that "Elizabeth” has not other shades in hats that arc just as smart!
