Shelley (poet — 1792), and the date of the estab- Ushment of the freedom of the press — than which I couldn’t even be columning this very date, 1952 because they wouldn’t let me come right out and say I love nice restaurants, purty shoes, et al. Well, I’m not a party giver at heart, but I sure am glad to get the little old calendar in front of me because it’s fun ruminating on about yesteryear.. Tomorrow is the anniversary of the Ist cable mes- sage between Europe and America, in 1858, Almost 100 years. We've been very busy this week- end, just to make up for last week when it was so difficult to get around. So let’s go shopping, friends — kkk Once upon a time, not so very fong ago either, Mothers-to-be fust simply went into hiding for their period of waiting. Not so today, not with lovely clothes and accessories available; the love- liest of which are the Mothers’ beautiful creations. The new fackets | saw there today are of lovely broadcloth, a + white pique, yoked and sleeveless with @ Dior back and two lovely sheers that had the look of fil- fered moonbeams. One of sheer nylon with a metallic thread, and the other a silk and acetate crin- jatelasse type material of grey thet was sheer witchery. All of these under $10.00 except one which was.less than a dollar over. Life can be @ whole lot nicer for the lady In waiting if she knows she is looking her very loveliest, x * Milk sometimes isn’t the pleas- antest hot weather drink in ‘the _ world, even when it’s ice cold. It Jeaves that funny sticky little after taste the small fry don’t particular- ly care for. But milk is the perfect food and needed to keep small bod- jes in the peak of condition through these hot polio months; so here's one way to make it a welcome treat: It’s called'a “strawberry float,” and is made with a homemade strawberry syrup. To make the sy- rup, crush 2 cups hulled straw- | see or a 12 ounce package of n strawberries, defrosted; and combine with one and one-fourths ‘cups sugar. Cook over low heat un- til soft, stirring constantly. Put through a fine mesh strainer. Store in refrigerator. Makes about one and one-third cups. Now for the float! Combine three tablespoons strawberry syrup and one cup of ice cold milk in a tall glass, Add one small scoop of strawberry ice cream and more milk if necessary to fill up the glass. Decorate with a small whole strawberry if desired but this is not necessary. Makes only one serving 50, ’d better be prepar- ed to make ! &. *- Everybody, but everybody likes @ salad. You know the kind 1 mean; crisp cold dewy ones that are like the juicy vegetables from a cool spring garden early fn the morning, Serve them up attractively in wooden bowls, and Well, that’s the kind of salads that are featured these hot days at Raul’s Restaurant out on the Boulevard. It’s @ pleasant drive eut along that causeway when you're nooning, and well worth the effort when you reach there. A relaxing lunch in the middie of the day in the cool atmosphere of Raul’s is just the pick-up you need. Better yet, a complete tuncheon at Reul’s, including ap- petizer, entree, dessert and cof- fee is just $1.25, The “Raut Habit” should be an @asy one te get inte, and nice to Indulge, What is it? Luncheon at Raul's, of course! 5 I PR of ‘There’s a new kind of tray out mow for baby called a Baby's “Ti- Chair’, It has arms and straps and will turn any ordinary chair into e@ high chair, “Ti-Chair” folds down into a 9" x 15” rectangle which fits into a carrying case with handle. It’s wonderful for traveling and also a space-saver in small kitchens where an ordinary high chair would be in the way. Have your local dealer investigate “Ti Chairs” for you or write to M.B.P. 2 Corporation, 976 Sackett Ave., New York 61, N. Y. ‘itd wit Painful though the subject may be to the younger generation, we must keep on reminding you that now is the time to get back to school clothes. Methinks some of the sting will depart from the re- turn to pencils and blackboards and big fat textbooks at the sight of all the beautiful clothes for both girls and boys at Ideal Togs. We aren’‘t kidding one bit when we say that turning back the | clock wouldn't be objectionable | one little bit if we could only get | into some of those cunning Dan River dresses in chambray, ging- ham and other lovely cottons. The longies for the boys are equally nice and so masculine looking. All are completely wash- | able (Mother, please note) are | sanforized, of course, and color fast. They are smart and tailor- il cotton gabardines, tes in checks, pes. All colors and all shades to suit all tastes. Gay tropical prints and plains. in shirts and T shirts complete the outfits. For the little fellows, opening day at school will take on added thrills in a new and gay suit with jacket and contrasting shorts. Our offspring should. descend. on the bedazzled schoolmarms this year like a cloud of bright butterflies if our preview of com- irig fashions at Ideal Togs is any indication, 3 kx More inventors and inventions are born of those who keep a home than any other way. A cold meat platter gets an extra face-lifting from such things in color as cress, jellied tomato cubes, cucumber slices in lemon-jelly molds, tiny stuffed tomatoes, oranges sliced and cut into shapes. Then there are all kinds of stuffed .or dipped fruits and funny little marinated vegetable gew-gaws you can in- vent. The more you make the more you will be inclined to in-| vent., and that’s where inventions are born, tek Maggie Says: That the “Blu-Green” Fertiliz- er has the minor as well as the major elements in it necessary for the growth of plants. This is the result of 50 years’ experimenting by the Blu-Green manufacturers. You get this amazing stuff at the Garden and Lawn Supply, of course! Re Ik Once upon a time when a new store gave me a funny looking thing of rubber with a handle on it, I didn’t know what to do with it except to give it to the baby o cut teeth on, Well, I soon found out it was a rubber dish scraper and a mighty useful object. Here are some other uses for them: Removing food from bottles and narrow-mounted jars, The new type thin scrapers do a quick and efficient job. Scraping flour and other ingredients from the sides of the mixer bowl while mixing. Even if it hits the whirling beaters it doesn’t harm them. Folding whip- ped egg whites into cake batter without loss of air. Action is gentler than with metal tools. And last but not least, packing shortening into measuring cups or removing it. Use the scraper for greasing your cookie sheets too. So maybe you’d better run out and buy two or three. That’s a lot of useful tasks for the lowly scraper! x * * When ! saw them | said they looked like Harem slippers, but examination proved them to be “Elf-eer” by Jayrich — and they do resemble the shoes on pic- tured elves (I've never seen @ real one) and also Robin Hood's band wore the same kind. These are suede slippers — soft as an Elfin ear, of black, white or gold with flat gum sole — and only $2.99 at Pic’M. Also new at Pic’M — leather scuffs with padded soles and lower priced Patios only slightly different from the Hollywood Pa- ties you have seen there. These im black or red. It hardly seems possible, but Fall is almost upon us and all the new fall styles in shoes to ge with your new fall outfits are coming in. xr Do you like to sew? Well, even if you don’t, a few tailor’s tricks with tape are a fine thing to know to give your clothes that custom look Do you have trouble getting a smooth finish when hemming a hem edge to the tape. This is par- ticularly good when handling heavy, bulky fabrics, makers. Sew strong tape into the waist seam or stitch -it along the natural waist line inside a jacket. Leave ends free for an inner hook, and eye. To correct that old boogy — keeping knitted garments in shape, tape the seams. This will hold the line and will assure better fit af- ter cleaning and reblocking. kkk That timeworn old excuse — “My watch stopped” is no more acceptable today than it was af- ter the first watch was invented. There is a little shop over at 402 Southard St. right now devoted almost exclusively to making your “watch stopped” excuse implausible. Solis the watch- is there many hour: day and will clean your watch, and take care of your watch needs for only $3.50. This in- cludes three or four parts if needed, and a 7 months’ guarn- tee on his work! This sounds like a real deal to me. Over on Southard where the watchmaker dwells, the sign on the outside of the shop says “Sun Dial,” but inside is Solis. Go on in, you'll see] Outline Plans For State Meeting * The executive board of the local Business and Professional If you need a bit of help in the| Women’s Club met at the home of the new state president, Mrs. waistline control department, do} Wilhelmina Harvey, last Thursday evening to make plans for the like designers and the best dress-| state board meeting to be held in Key West, August 23 and 24, Mrs. Harvey and Mrs. Crosby, the new state correspond- ing secretary, reported that Key West business houses are enthus- iastically supporting the plans to show the 200 or more delegates genuine Key West hospitality. Tentatively two fine speakers have been engaged.

Among the special entertain- ments offered by the members were the use of the swimming pool at the Rose Crest motel, of- fered by Mrs. Rose Cohen, and a specially priced tour to Cuba, ar- ranged by Marionne of Simone’s Tours. Headquarters for the con- vention will be the La Concha Hotel and meetings will be held at the Elks Club. Inquiries as to ‘| motel accommodations have been coming in from the delegates. A guest at the meeting was Mrs. Electa Conrath of the St. Louis County BPW Club, and a Missouri state officer. Mrs. Con- rath is visiting her sister, Mrs. P. A.

This is Miss Har- ris’ second year of attendance at the Camp. The summer session at the uni- versity came to a close last week. Supervisor of the group was Dr. K. 0. Kurtsteiner. A total of 163/ students from Ala., Ga., and Fla.,| were enrolled for five weeks in the course Miss Harris, a member of the Key West.

Sonntag has made his choice between the “modeling crowd” and the world of art and has settled down he hopes forever at Key Largo with his one man art-gallery there. A lean, ascetic type, Sonntag spends his waking hours with his brush painting the tropical scenes of the Keys and its flowers. : Sonntag came in to The Citizen pee months ago to tell of his gal- lery. Sonntag calls his gallery sim Key Largo. Miami papers wed spreading his name to tourists there, Sonntag came to Key West after his studio in New York had burned. Some intuition led him to the Keys, where he says he has found great- er happiness and satisfaction than he has ever known. He has been on the Keys for three years, living his simple yet to him fulfilling life.
