SOCIETY ... PERSONALS. . DOROTHY RAYMER, Society Editor As if you didn’t know, today is Memorial Day. It was first de- signated to honor the dead of the Civil War, and seeing as how the South felt a little more than| strongly about the state of af- fairs, they refused to recognize one of our biggest national holi- days. And so it was with a great deal of surprise that I noted that in Key West, May 30th is not celebrated as the first holiday of the summer season, although most people do make an effort to decorate the graves of their loved ones with beautiful Key) West flowers. And so, seeing as most or all | of the shops will be open, let’s go shopping! koh” The familiar strains of Lohengrin are soundin. out oftener and oftener as the sea- son becomes Junish, and sets most of us to thinking of somthing nice for the bride to start her new life with, The answer to most of these vexat- ing problems can be found right at the Gift House on the corner of Simonton and Caro- line Sts. A good many of the brides are also this year's graduates so it should be easy to give Gifts that will delight the heart of a graduate-bride-to-be. Yosterday at Gift House we moted among other things @ handsome Peerless brass non- tarnishable bow! with handles, in the Grecian manner. Twin hurricane lamps and triple candelabra of black iron and glass in classic modern. We can't imagine what Pe spective bride might do ree but we admired the bronze danish galley.

They come in colors and incidentally are not as easy to go through with an ice pick as the glass lined variety.

This cutie is called a “Scooter.” It comes in a better sandal of real leather in delicious raspberry pink. Also by Scooter — those fascinating Patios — shoes not outdoor living space — these are also of real leather on & cushion high heeled wedge with a wide, wide perforated strap across the instep — and that’s all. They always look as though their wearer is about to walk out of it or break her lit- tle neck, but it couldn’t ever happen and they are real com- fortable — like old house shoes. So cool to burning toot- sies! Remember, at Pic’M. ok a. A tiny book written in 1834 and published in 1951 (authors should not be so impatient) is a tome titled “Hints On Ettiquette, the Usages of Society, with a Glance at Bad Habits.” A few gems from this book include the following: “Ladies should never dine with their gloves on — un- less their hands are not fit to be seen.” “If you are thrown amongst fashionable people, you must not pay a visit to a Lady before two o'clock P.M., nor af- a four, as, if you call before ie, will interrupt \dvoc’ 8 which more or less occupy every lady in the early part of the day; if later than four o'clock you will pre- vent her driving out.” Seriously we wonder just what a lady did do before two o'clock in 1834. e *«* “Hail the Mighty Mite” is the latest slogan for most chil- dren’s stores and baby sure is boss in everything. Be that as it may, he is still the adored and we'd do anything to keep ‘him comfortable. Baby would like to keep cool and so would Mom — especial- ly on Monday mornings when laundry time comes around.

One lot which had 18 lovely Chinaberry trees — that lovely shade tree that the Cubans call “Paraiso” has been completely denuded, Some people claim that this tree breeds mosquitos, but that is mo more true than it is of any plant we have in our gar- dens. Those cleaning the lots are doing their best and it is difficult to supply supervision for routine jobs of this kind! But why can’t these workers be properly instructed to clear the excess growth with flails as the old Key Westers all do in their own yards.
