NEWS OF INTER ITEMS OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE DOROTHY RAYMER, Society Editor | Sally West SHOP HOPPING WITH Hello there, did you know that it is July 28 today, and almost half of our summer is over, and with it the heat, although we really can’t complain when we read the daily weather report and hear what the Yankees are in for up North. : All our shopping is necessarily for the purpose of trying to find the things you need to beat the heat and get ready for Fall, and today is no exception. Did you go on a picnic or to the beach yesterday? Hope you had a fine time. We went shop hopping down the Keys, and items brought back were: slightly pink epidermis, two star- fish which are already roasting on the lawn and quite “flat,” a tummy full of roasted weiners and bakea beans, several big crawfish speared on a reef, and the memory of good friends and a happy Sunday. That's the wish for your memories too, and if they differ slightly, hope they are as fine. x * A department much neglected by shoppers at Pic’m Shoe Store is the one set aside for the men because what with all Pic'M has a great big complete department for the Gents, and if you don’t see it, ask for it, Among the outstanding num- bers I saw there today was a Men's casual fabric sport ox- with a crepe sole for only . It was a honey and in colors, oatmeal, blue and Brown. Made by Batco, known for fine sports shoes. They also stock all the hard Zo fit sizes in Officer's white shoes, the ever popular half Wellington boots in black or brown, and for all you Motor Cyclists, those fancy boots you love to dress up in. With the season of storms upon us, it seems well to men- tion the genuine Bartner shoes with the storm welt and the raw cord sole. These shoes are completely waterproof and come in the high and low styles. They are wonderful work shoes with no wear out. For tropical storms, drenching rains, hurricanes and such. I prefor the saddle leather san- dals. You can walk along flood- ed streets without fear of cut- fing your feet through the tough - soles, and the warm water can flow out the same ‘way as it came in. Reminds me of the barefoot boy with shoes on. Well Pic'M has these san- dals for men as well as women. and water doesn’t hurt them a bit. x kk Everybody knows that baked Deans are good on a picnic, or any other time for that matter, the Navy and their Saturday morning breakfasts notwithstand ing. But did you know that Deans taste so much better if they are cooked with ham, and a dit of onion. Another thing Ill bet you didn’t know. Wait until your beans are half cooked be fore you add the salt the ham hasn't supplied. If you salt beans| while they are raw they are apt to come out tough. Enough about the lowly bean. ~*wrk Maggie Says: She thinks this is a wonder- ful time to plant Poincettas. because then they will be in bloom for this Christmas. Be- sides, they are much cheaper right now.

They are easier to remove while fresh and most of them can be removed by stretching the stained area over a bowl, fasten with rubber | band and pulled tight. Then boiling water poured from a height will generally do the trick. However, there are certain kinds of stains which have to have special care. Peach, plum and cherry are colored. These cannot be remov- ed in one simple step. Takes two. The first is to sponge the stain with cold water. Then work in a soapless lather or glycerine a few drops at a time, rubbing lightly. Let stand for a few hours and then apply a few drops of | white vinegar and let stand a minute or two before rinsing thoroughly with lukewarm water. The second step differs in white cottons and linens from colors and synthetic fabrics. For {white cottons and linens, after the first softening and loosening | step, use a regular household’ | bleach, For colors and synthetic | } fabrics make a solution of one! gallon of lukewarm water and three tablespoons powdered per- | borate bleach.
