SHOPPING WITH A NOTEBOOK

Felicity Keeps Cool (By Betty R.) “You look almost warm!” mocked Felicity, looking divinely cool in the hammock, as I staggered hot and weary up the path with an armful of parcels. I was too exhausted to think of an adequate reply. Felicity stepped from the hammock and relieved me of my parcels as we went up the steps. “Let me give you some of the delightful lemon squash I have concocted !” she suggested, producing some glasses and an attractive bottle. “It’s a poem!” It was. “You know,” went on Felicity, “this keeping cool problem is getting most important. You really must do these things systematically. Now, I’ve thought about it a lot lately and I’m going to give you some ideas. Here are six really good suggestions for the warm weather! Reductions in Summer Millinery Models.

In these days of modern enlightenment, housewives no longer find the keeping of food a problem. Spacious electric refrigerators keep all goods fresh and cool for any length of time, and actually pay for themselves in the saving of food which would otherwise be wasted.

Power of the Eyes. Have we, as civilised women, not lost trace of the fact that our eyes are our most charming and, shall I say, profitable asset? asks an Australian writer. The women of the East stil! acknowledge the power of the eyes to charm and enchant. 'With faces immobile they practise the art of flashing messages both amorous and tragic. But we have forgotten our eyes are more precious than rubles. Seldom do wereineniber the colour of a friend’s eyes. I do think we should dress and “toilet” with a view of enhancing that most precious gift, “a pair of sparkling eyes.” ECONOMICAL KNITTING. The only real way to economise in knitting is to use none but the best wool; for the better the quality the longer the length. Batons and Baldwins’ the world’s best wools, have greater length, unequalled softness and elasticity. Nicest to work with. Best in wear and washing.
