A new shipment of frocks for afternoon and evening wear has arrived at the Felix Hat Shop this week

They are, like all the Felix frocks. very reasonable in price and very attractive to look at. Perhaps the most delightful of the evening dresses is one carried out in pale pink georgette, which has that in- teresting new double tier at the back of the skirt giving a sugges tion of the altra fashionable tai" ling. It is longer at the back than the front with circular godets at the side, and the upper of the two tiers is lightly embroidered with deep pink, green, silver, and gold beads.
