Felicity the Housekeeper

(BX

BETTY R.)

Felicity has been housekeeping I We were rather diffident about leaving her in charge at first, but she assured us so forcibly and so many times that she was ‘'incredibly domesticated” that finally we went away and left her to Uousekeep for a fortnight. She certainly seems to have enjoyed herself. “There is very little crockery broken,” she assured us on our return. "The vacuum cleaner seems a little sick and I’ve overwound two clocks, but I've made an apple pie for tea!” “So Felicity is domesticated?” someone asked her at teatime. “Well 1” Felicity was not quite so enthusiastic as she had been a fortnight earlier. “It was great fun, but I’m glad you’re all back,” she confessed, “so that I’m not responsible any more. I’ve really learned a great deal about running a house, that I'm sure you don’t know,” she went on. “I’ve been experimenting and I've found some splendid housekeeping ideas in town that you must hear about too I”

A T o More Home Dressmaking For Me! Dawne, the French dressmaker, next the Grand Hotel, has made me a most perfect gown. X'tn thrilled to the marrow with it. I’m telling everyone to go to her.

As a Pleasant Surprise! I sent all the chair covers and curtains to the Wellington Dry Cleaning Co. Don’t they look lovely I Nothing easier! —Just ring 53-070.

Of Course I Did No Washing! I rang 63-000—the Ideal Bag Wash—and I just rolled everything up into the bag and it came home wmshed, ironed and aired, ready to go away.

Then I Mad a Shampoo in Comfort. Do you know Miss McKinnon? She comes to the house during the day or in the evening. She brings everything, and shampoos and seta, or manicures, or gives a face treatment at town prices. You can’t imagine what comfort ! Ring 41-510.

Entertaining is Easy When—r For teas, suppers, cocktail parties, I just order from the Red Seal. Tel. 42-801. Their savouries and cakes are perfectly delicious, and so unusual.

When I Gave a Dinner Party— I found nothing could surpass the table poultry procurable from Salisbury’s, SO Dixon Street. It comes direct from their farm, and is beautifully tender. You ring 51-040.

Ask Felicity. A number of Felicity’s readers have been writing to her for information on where to go for this and that; so she has decided to invite everyone to ask where to obtain the best service. All replies will be found in the form of paragraphs in her columns.
