Page4 = THE KEY WEST CITIZEN —————<—<$<$<$_———— SOCIETY Wednesday, September 24, 1952 DOROTHY XAYMER, Society Editor S:;OP HOP WITH ey oo tH, a2 PING > £ 8 JAXON We find that Columbus dis- covered the Virgin Islands this date in 1493. Now that is right close to home. Wonder if that was after the rhyme I used to know, “In 1492, Columbus sailed the Ocean Blue.” Maybe that was the very ship he set-out on. Don’t know my history tvo well, but I’m learning. The Almanac also says it was the date of Black Friday in New York in 1869. Whatever that was. Must remember to look it up. Well, whatever, in Key West on Wednesday 24, 1952 it’s time to go shopping, even if it won't go down in history. Keka k& There's a shade of red for every shade of hair on Tintair Spectrum which brings us to the beautiful shades of red in the new party dresses at Mar-Ed’s. There’s one there just made for me, It would be very hard to describe the ma- terial except to say it has the lustre of satin, the softness of pure silk and the weave of fine gabardine. It is strap! and the entire new long bodice is softly shirred, and figure hug- ging. The skirt is extremely. wide end full, and -the new short length for winter formal wear. Red is one of the most popular of the new fall colors. Then let me tell you — your favorite end mine the whites are coming in! The first — a winter white ‘affeta, strapless dress with a fan skirt, cunningly tucked in fan de- sign. It has a matching, sophis- ticated little elbow length sleeved jacket with a low scoop neck and the front has a zipper cleverly concealed with beautiful rhinestone buttons, I'm so glad hite is here again, and Mar-Ed will soon have lots of it. White in all shades, I'm told, Watch for it. Ke Ree A brand new fall recipe and a grand surprise. Fall seems just right for baked apples anyhow. There’s a new tanginess in the air to match the tangy smell of baking apples, newly picked from the trees. First bake as many apples as needed in your usual favorite way. Sweetened id spiced just to suit you! Then make .. recipe of lemon pie filling, according to what it tells you on the box. Pour the hot filling over the hot apples. This is a dessert com- fee of two of the very love- lest and tastiest of fruits. Wet ® There is a new line of cera- mics at the Ditty Box these days. So lovely and so popular it's hard to keep them in stock. They ar- made into ash trays and cigarette holders — like conch shells designed to fit the need. Star fish and big fat lobste's holding a sea shell. They are all hard painted in Colors Mother Nature never even thought of. They are so gay and colorful, wonderful accessories for the home. You'll buy several, some to keep end some to give avay as gifts. Then there are basket woven planters. A horn of plenty for your Holiday table. Picture it as a centerpiece full of lucious real fruit for dessert after a tummy meal! Another table item you'll want a set of is the lovely ma- hogany individual and serving salad set. The dark and light colors richly blended and fin- ished are just right to set off the crisp shining greens of your favorite tossed salad. I've often wondered — and $o I asked. How can you clean these after using? Can they be washed? The answer is em- phatically yes, washed, but not in hot water. Of course, they are mainly used as salad and relish dishes, so never have anything but vegetable fats or oils on them. They CAN be cleaned satis- factorily with no harm to their beauty. Ditty Box has lots of them fm several shades and in sev- eral sizes. All solid mahogany. eo ko * Tt was shocking (of course) c nounced Gener the $7,900.0 cares * the | they can be | jthat it was a Turnip Day project |by a fellow named Truman. | Other notes on the of | public servants: The bad habit of recreants of both forme jrent Congress of failing ‘up for Congressio! jquestioning.

The new party dresses are sparkly as a Christmas tree, rustly as fall leaves, and beautiful as anything. They are mostly made of heavy taffetas, black predominates, and they ere completely sparked — all over with hinestones. There are al- so accents of finely pleated ny- lon lace on some of them. Good news for the big girls is a whole new shipment of large half sizes in real dress up dresse*, Chic has smart dresses for the larger sizes, as stylish and . weet as a first kiss. No more button down the front small prints or plains in dress- maker styles for the. “stylish stouts.” These dresses are de- signed especially to make the large figure look slenderer, and at the same time pep up its wearer with its originality. Another item that might be of interest dusters. There are faille, black or navy and very nice too. Then there is a shipment of new suits at Chic, and another group of $3.95 wash dresses that are pretty enough to go calling — or shopping.
