VOROTHY RAYMER, Society Editor WITH _ A woman's traditional curiosi- ty is responsible for a good many reforms, political as well as per- sonal. This gal’s curiosity about a! lot of things is responsible for | this column, and it’s so much) fun finding out what goes on in| the marts of Key West. Well, | here's seme more answers to a| lot of questions,’ yours and mine. | Hope you enjoy it. zk kK ok Remember the old fashioned Easter Eggs you used to take such delight in? The kind you peered through a hole in the end and saw all kinds of bun- nies and sprites and pink, yel- low, blue and green rainbows? Well, looking in the window | st the Children’s Corner is like | peering in the business end of haven't taken the needle 'eith- ert.” “Also. in that. window, are little dresses and ‘suits, We have lots of recipes for cooked lettuce hot or cold up our sleeves, and we like ‘em all! Here's a new one: Cook a head of ‘lettuce in salted water until tender. Drain and dry in paper towels. As dry as you can. Then take a can of flaked tuna, drain off..and save the oil. Chop the lettuce ‘and mix with the fish. Add the oil and toss all together. Then get it thoroughly cold. Serve in a salad bowl, garnished with halved hard-boiled eggs, a rose of mayonnaise and a dash of paprika on each, to make it purty. If you like more mayon- naise, serve in a separate bowl. A fish dish fit for a king, and in Lent too! ¥ x wk “Time on My Hands” isn't always a torch song, it some- times ns that your watch has on the, blink, and that is cue fo take it to that old ter watch re- pairmen at , the orate Jewelers, Arthur ir.

This one will be your secret — eS- pecially if you are one of those bantam weight beauties who'd like to boost your bust-line . Herman's has just re- ceived the wonderful new supplement bra by Hollywood- Maxwell called “Her — just for you. the built-in beauty, of washable foam rubber — never detectable — always just like your own contour. Then there’s the incompara- ble strapless “Whilrpool” bra by Hollywood-Maxwell, Sum- mertime or Springtime is al- ways Farty time, and whether you ate wearing a formal or sun fashion, it's the strapless bre you can wear with perfect confidence because it's en- to stay put with & dramatic uplift and a plunging neckline.

If it isn't a fish day, bacon goes well with this. x k * When you go into the Ideal Togs, you just can’t ignore the large selection of clothes for the littlest Buckaroos. From | didee to bonnet, shirt to coat, you can outfit your crown prince or princess at Ideal. Mrs. Baer has things in finest muslins, soft downy lamb’s wool, silk and satin. She also has them in cotton crepes, all kinds of washable, and even things (tiny things) in denim for the rowdy mo- ments. Make the Ideal Togs your ter. x k * We just heard a Santa Claus story that we would probably cided to pass it along. This is al- jlady who was watching a very slim and very elegant Santa Claus at Best’s in New York, ‘was suddenly asked by Santa Claus what she would like for Christ- mas. On impulse, she said she would like to know how he kept his figure. Santa Claus leaned over and whispered .in her ear, “Reindeer Steaks!” So now we are out shopping for reindeer |steaks, and if anyone knows ; where we can get any, we'd be that happy! x kk A little girl is the image of woman-hood, and so the wom- an grown still holds within some of the attributes of little girls. One of these that never leaves, is the love of dollies. That's why I'm so glad I was born in the 20th century and didn’t have to put away my dollies at ‘the appearance of “His” and “Hers” towels in the bathroom, 4 It took a lot of words, but what I'm trying to say is that for all the grown-up little girls who like to collect dolls, the | Ditty Box has some’ of the most exquisite »and authentic Siamese dancing dolls seen in this or any other town. The Chinese dolls are just as love- ly. and the detail on these miniatures is truly wonderful. Also just in time for the new influx of visitors, a brand new shipment of wonderful and unusual things made of straw. My grandma's old “Ditty Box" held all sorts of delight- ful and unusual things for me to rummage around for when I was a little girl. Mrs. Lovell’s “Ditty Box” on Duval St. is twice as nice for all the Pan- doras in town. x *« & Long before Dorothy Parker commented that “Men never make passes ,at girls who wear glasses”, some reader informed the editor of the column for Girl's Probiems in the Journal, “An oculist has ordered me to wear spectacles, very unbecoming, and, as long as I don’t mind the haze before’ my jeyes, I am disposed to disregard his advice.” This was 50 years ago, mind you! The snappy re- tort was, “Be sensible and put them on at once.” What, no passes? see SRA: The click of knitting and crochet needles is to be heard no more around the Mar-Ed Shop. Sounds like sad news, doesn’t it? Well, it should be good news to all the ‘canny shoppers who love a because Mar-Ed is tlosing out all yarns, braids, rocket book frames. lamp shade wool for driftwood, | » beading, et al, at one-half price to make more room for the wonderful dresses. So it’s sad and glad } news, but better hurry because large and varied as the selec- | tion is right now, it won't last | teo long. ; * * Things I never knew til now: }Orange pekoe doesn’t mean’ a certain kind of tea. It just means |that the little top leaves of the }tea plant that are supposed to be the very best, tenderest, and jtastiest.
