Page 4 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN DOROTHY RAYMER, Society Editor “SHOP HOPPING WITH JAXON Wednesday was Hiroshima day, and today seems to be Na- ’“ gasaki day. Seven years isn’t so very long in the life of a human, but do you remember that the A-Bomb was dropped on Nagasa- ki only ‘wo days after the first one? i seem awfully pre-occupied with bombs lately aud am at a loss to explain it, but there it is. On the other side of the pic- ture, Francis Scott Key was born ; this date in 1780. This is the guy ‘who got all hepped up in the dawn’s early light and wrote the Star Spangled Banner. | So it is that after a lot of -guminating around, we always finally jet around to Shop Hop- ping, and there’s lots of good news today! xe Right now at the end of the season when boredom with yourself and especially your wardr “e begins to grow — spark it up a bit with a few new blouses and skirts. Mar- Ed has nice ones at good prices, $8.95 skirts for $6.95 too. Mix ‘em, sa ‘em — brighten your ou! For eomfort on the Beach, Cebes has designed a lastex cotton bathing suit that. sells for just $5.95. Discreetly boned and bra-ed to stay up perma- nently and allow a nice even ten. Tw patterns — all colors @ombined. It would really be a good buy - twice the price. x xk A casserole I'll bet you never even dreamed of, but good. Make a good cheese sauce of your very best and favorit’ recipe. Then add to this one package of fresh over fried noodl , and brown until bubbly in the oven. A touch of paprika looks and tastes real good here too. ik kw * The face lifting is still going on at. Children’s Corner and judging from the progress made, it’s going to be one of Key West‘s prettiest stores. The window on Simonton Street is already modernized and new. It’s chic smart and all other ad- jectives and a good indication of the changes inside. Featured on the stark white back drop are the new back to schoo! things for beys and girls. Also what looks suspiciously like school-for-the-first-t ime things too. This will make school @ thriller, Imagine, school for the first time in a cute little new dress or suit. One thing I'd like te mention tight new that has nething to do with scheel but teok my eye in that window: A yellew nightie and negilgee, midget size for the _ Midgets—for forsighted people to buy as gifts. $5.49 for the set, comes in all colors, sizes to 14, Lest you think | didn’t notice, Mrs. Simons continues to feature a window entirely for the tots— from one week to three years, all in pastels. That window will seon have a tipped fleor space so that you won't have to peer to see the things spread out there. Keke This is getting to be the most apologetic column I ever wrote. ‘This time it’s to Dr. Valdez, whose name was spelled with a “z” in- stead of an ‘“‘s” last Shop Hopper. We don’t blame the good Dr. one little bit. When you have your name in print, and you pay for it at that, you at least want it spelled right. The whole trouble was that I wrote without checking, and that's the way it sounds. I’m terribly sorry, and I've been practicing writing it with an “s” ever since. x ee Settin’ and reckin’ on the perch ts 2 favorite passtime these days, and a good way te pass the time any old day. You prebably wish you had more leisure too, and we'd like to suggest that you take it from the hours you have fe spend doing the family wash. Sound good? Well the best way te do this is to investigate the mew Thor Automatic washer at the Overseas Radio Store. The ‘Ther is a paragon of beatuy, ef- ficiency, economy and versatility. fits in anywhere.

The beautiful new clothes are coming from the Bast Coast, the West Coast, Texas (suh), Mi- ami—and practically all over. For pure, sheer variety and the latest in dress for the daughter, slacks and shirts for the son, you only have to travel to the corner of Southard and Duval to the Ideal Togs Store. Yesterday | saw a big blue box bulging with colorful ruffled “Neither , things. A peek inside (call me frozen cooked lima beans. Pour | Pandora, | can’t resist closed boxes) showed smart waffle | pique dresses. They were the famous Mitzi—as advertised in “Life’ Magazine (and now the Citizen). These were ruffled at the hem and of bright vivid green or coral. The old fashioned calicos with the tiered full skirts and the shirred lastex waists are quaint and cute too. Aptly labeled “Pretty Girl,” by’ Jean Bur- raine, whose pictured face is on each label. By the way, take notice that Jean closely resem: bles our own Wilhelmina Harvey, who is talented in another way. Jean Burrain also makes a dark plaid gingham dress with demure yoke ruffled with yards of white embroidered organdy. 1 am beginning te think back to schoel might become quite thril- ling for our young misses. xk Just read in a certain magazine of a bgp ed test to ascertain if) you're antisocial: When the baby- sitter arrives and you're about to take off for a party, do you ever! wish you could stay home and read and play the phonograph? Do you envy the baby-sitter? Then why not pay her to go to the party and stay home yourself? (Prob- ably she'd be a greater success there anyhow). Well now I have a theory, you can stop reading right here if you think I'm wrong. This guy is one of the following: Anti-social as he said, he's been to a party like) this before, he’s just plain tired, or he’s too darned old to be going out anyhow. exer Hair doesn’t squeak when it needs oil, but a lar lubrica- tion with Dena’ special oi! treatment will make it shine. * * Well what do you know, time to pack-up the notebook again for the week end. Hope you have been taking the good advice we have been dishing on saving by buying, and saving yourself by buying early. See you around on Friday, August 8, 1952 SOCIETY ... PERSONALS...

We certainly cannot be sat- isfied as long as we ate lagging behind the national average as far as infant mortality rates are | concerned. “We might point out, however, | that our mortality rate of 27.0 for white infants is slightly better than the average for the nation as a whole. A substantially higher infant death rate of 48.4 for Negroes runs our state average more than four points higher than the national ' erage. “The Negro infant death rate has been cut in half during the years | since 1934, but it still remains age for white infants.” Factors contributing to the de- cline in Florida's infant mortality significantly higher than the aver- | Monday, Shop Hopping that is.
