PAGE FOUR KEY WEST WOMEN Their Homes and Gardens | eeey , Seen _By MYRTLE COSGROVE MRS. EVERETT WINTER AND HER HOME Key West is a mecca for ar' who come to transfer to canvas the lush tropical loveliness of this city by the sea. . .One of the latest additions to this colony is Mrs. Everett Winter, known in artistic circles as Marion Winter . Something like five years ago Mr. and Mrs. Winter came South in search of warm weather. The quest was long and ended only when Key V the frost-free city was reac . Even after their return to St. Paul, they were haunted’ by memories of blue skies and bluer waters, of warm. glowing sunshine, and graceful palms. Last year they returned to see if first impressions were true. It was the same old stor: they came, they saw, and Key West conquered them so com- pletely that they remained build of the loveliest homes. Indeed, they went a step farther and became legal resi- dents. . .Mrs. Winter's artistic ca- reer extending over a period of 20 years had an interesting in- ception. While reading Hen Van Loon’s “History of Mankini to her small daughter, she con- ceived the idea of “Costumes of the Ages”. Research work w: straightway begun on this gigan- tic undertaking; a task that is far from finished. In fact, she ha up to date covered only that pe- riod from 5000 B.C. to 1000 A.D. . . In connection with this work she created costumes for the child’s favorite characters in the book and dressed dolls in them. This collection was a feature of last season’s Flower Show... When Stephen Burleigh, dean of New England Arts, began design- ing toy houses for tiny tots, no suitable figures for them could be found on the rs. Winter ne to h her art became cor alized. This proved to be a stepping stone for her next creation known as “Caricatures of Famous Peo- ple”. For this, she devised little figures of wire and crepe paper. These were known as “Marion Winter's Figurines” and are said to be the first created in this country. . It is interesting to learn that she was also the orig- inator of the wool, organdy and gingham flowers for women’s frocks; a fad which swept the country a few years bac Her time at present is occupied by her painting: and etchings. .

On the contrary, every e has been taken of God's free gift to mankind. . .The vivid coloring of the tropics is reflected in draperies, cushions, and curtains. Perfectly repro- duced are the exquisite lavender tints of the bauhinia, the soft greens of coc ns, the yel- low of allama the flaming crimson of poinsettia, the pinks of frangi pani petals and the lapis lazuli of Gu Stream. . .The cement floor of the living room, devoid of rugs, is a delicate sea green; fish nets, dyed to match, curtain the w »ws. The mod- ernistic furniture is of metal and glass; chair cushions are of bril- liant hued leather. . .A_ table stripped in bamboo. a desk and shelves of gay, glowing yellow are the hand-work of Mr. Win- ter. The shelves, containing ex- quisite flower medallions, dainty figurines and miniature gardens in shells, are the creation of Mrs. Winter. . .The feature of the room Palace James, Lucille, Russell GLEASON in MONEY TO BURN also COMEDY and SERIAL H Seeccceveranscacescosoce| se is that brought in the realiza any special arn of chiefly is home y to|:.: | Episcopalians Called To ‘Day Of Prayer’ Ladies Auxiliary xiliary of St. Paul’s Episctpal Church issued an an- nouncement today calling all members of the church to ob- serve the “World Day of Prayer”, to be held in all Episcopal church- es of the ruary 9.

Tuesday, at luncheon, the three shipmates celebrated being in the | same port together and all hoped they would remain here longer. Schnotala is now a Lieutenant Commander, Supply Corps, U.S.N., Ret.; Dr. Douglass is a in the medical corps and lives in Key West with Mrs. Douglass, and Frank Delaney is a private citizen. At the luncheon, which was held at the La Concha, Charles Falk, Joe Allen and William J. Lee were also present. It’s a long. long way—. PERSONAL MENTION * yellow with a touch of black in! the third.

Nothing could be more _ pic- turesque than Annie Laurie clad in a bright print, voluminous of shirt, white apron and kerchief, while a bright bandana enfolds her head. Apparently she has just stepped out of a scene in “Gone With the Wind”. . .Asked to give her impressions West. Mrs. Winter replie the quaint unpainted hou stars which seem close enough to touch, the dreamy moonlight nights and the gorgeous sunsets. To me, this island is the most ro mantic spot on earth”, . .There is a practical as well as an artistic side to Mrs. Winter. She believes that the citizens should not wait for a ‘clean-up campaign or -as- sistance from the city, but that each individual should appoint himself a committee of one to clean-up, to plant trees and flow. ers on his own premises. If this advice was carried out, Mrs. Win- ter believes that Key West would be the cleanest and most beauti- ful community in the country. And, what is best of all, without a cent of cost to the city.
