Felicity the Housekeeper

(Bi

Betty R.)

Felicity was picking flowers —golden marigolds and those lovely orangey tiger-lilies, zinnias in shades of orange and gold and buff, one or two gorgeous Californian poppies. “They are all going into that lovely blue bowl with a few of those beautiful beech leaves. Won’t they make a wonderful splash of colour?” said Felicity. “My drawing-room doesn’t get much sun, but with a big colourful bowl like this in the corner the whole room seems to glow with sunlight,” she continued as we wandered into the house. “Are you having a party to-day?” I asked her as I watched her carefully filling the bowl. “Oh! just two or three to tea. I've been in town this morning, so I’ve got plenty of news .and chat. But I must hurry now, as I'lh having my hair done before they come.”

A Shampoo at Home. That’s the greatest luxury—a shampoo and set nt home, .lust ring Miss McKinnon (41-510). She will come any tiint, even in the evenings, and give you a perfect set.

A Delightful Brldfje Froch. My new bridge frock from Dawne’s is re.ally something special. I’m perfectly delighted with it and can thoroughly recommend her. The French Dressmaker (next Grand Hotel). Before Bridye Heally Starts.

I must get the chair covers cleaned —curtains, too. I always send them to the Wellington Dry Cleaning Co., 0 Leeds Street. Telephone 53-070. They come home looking beautiful.

Laundry Worries Banished. Thank goodness for the Bag Wash! What a boon! What a joy! Just to be rid of the laundry this uncertain weather. The Ideal Bag Wash (telephone 63,000) do the job perfectly and expeditiously.

Biny 51-016 for Poultry! For poultry that is straight from the farm—beautifully tender and in prime condition —you just ring 51-040. Be sure remember the number —51-040! That is Salisbury’s, 80 Dixon Street.

.Is 7 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.
