SHOPPING WITH A NOTEBOOK

Felicity in Search of Fun (By Betty R.) “Let’s have some fun,” cried Felicity. “Let’s be really bright—go everywhere, do everything, see everyone—cheer the whole place up!” This sudden outburst occurred one wet afternoon last week. “But how?” asked someone. “Where?” asked another. “What’s ! the use?” grumbled a third; “there is never anything to do nowadays.” Felicity fairly bristled with indignation. “You’re a crowd of wet blankets,” she declared, “and if you don’t think the Red Cross Olde Englishe Ball will be fun, if you don’t think “Little Miss Nobody” worth seeing, if you don’t want to do anything or go anywhere, you don’t deserve to be in Wellington this week. I’ll tell you how to be amused. . . .”

CT/c Best Picture in Town. If you want to laugh and laugh heartily, you will have to see small Jane Withers in “Little Miss Nobody,” which opens on Friday next at the State Theatre.
