Three quarters gone and New Year’s and Christmas ’51 seems like yester- day. Why is it that when you’re very young you are always wish- | ing your life away, and when you mature, it seems as though life slips by so very, very fast. Today is a big holiday for those | of the Jewish faith. It is Yom Kippar, which as know is the day of atonement. It would be well if others had a few days in each year when they could atone for their sins, those apparent and the ones on their consciousness. Also, as you probably noticed, a | Yet of our stores were closed to- day observing this holiday. Well don’t say we didn’t warn you, and we hope it didn’t cause you too much inconvenience. Tomorrow is another day, and all stores will be open — we promise you! xk * Well, it’s nice to start Monday off with such good news. The good news is that the lady at the Caroline Shop over on Anne Street, just off Caroline is so far along to the road to recovery that she is again keeping regu- lar hours at that nice spot, and what's more, the place is all frestily stocked and ready for the Fall rush in decor 1 know that there are a lot of you who have been just waiting for this to happen, and a good many have made a lot of fruit- less trips over and found the place closed up tight. Well, reg- ular hours are now in effect, and what's more, Mrs. Thompson is able to get around in her car, and so come out to your place for measurements, fittings of drapes and siip covers, etc . When | was there on Saturday, 1 was of course ushered straight to that big upstairs room where the wonderful fabrics are kept. The reason being that you had cleaned her out of samples with that wonderful take-home serv- ice of hers whereby you can take samples home to evaluate them in your own rooms. Soo0o, upstairs it was where the lovely long lengths of the new Glo- Shean shimmered in soft pastel with glowing leaf design. Thet other new fabric, the Birch Bark cloth was also prom- inent in two patt “sweet. hearts that go together’ and al- 80 go so well with bamboo with- out cheating — This in a woodsy feeling, but quite formal print in birchy des of taupe through soft tangerine with a leafy de- sign in the contrasting one con- taining all the new green shades, 1 abso @ small preview peek at fabrics with lots of gold in them, and a few clever nursery Prints, but more of these later. e all just SO gla the ine Shop is open again! es Wei we It has been said that politics makes strange bedfellows, but never stranger than right here in Key West! Even this thick old shop hoppin’ head can’t go on for- ever ignoring the fuss that is be- ing carried on at this writing over the eminence of a referen- dum, As I said politics does Strange bedfellows, and Scoop for any newspaper joining up of the Retail Liquor Dealers Association, the local gamblers and the Ministerial As sociation. Now I have a great deal of respect and admiration for the Cloth, will not shy away from a rum coke and bet a plane ticket to the West Indies on the whim of the weather and our hurricane prone season, but, there are things and people stronger cum cokes and whimsical weather k of all the ads I have been ng in our paper. It's m sing. and I'm just glad I'm rt a minister these days, that's Ca make areal is the 1 Pa ed Ship Ahey! Anchors Aweigh! Aye Aye Sir, there certainly are some mighty cute little Navy Bive Sailor suits, complete with the Navy Tam and Pee Coat over at Ideal Togs. In fact they ere even very fetching and would make a pint sized little Tar look downright sharp in one of these little outfits. They are Pailored te fit just like the big boys wear who serve Uncie Sam and seme im sites from two te ix. Then of course we would like fe report that all the new soft fight weight tropical woolens Rave arrived at Ideal in profu- sion. Anything you wish in wool for cool days acomin’ seon, be you probably | here, and don’t wait until the first chilly breeze starts to blow! There are adorable little dresses for the wee wee miss and nice sweaters for cover ups. Did you notice in the window that perfectly luscious looking black velveteen jumper with the white cotton organdy blouse? Dead black velveteen with the relief of white is the newest and prettiest style for the young miss and you‘d better believe it! This is another Jean Durain of California number. And just for those who still shy away from black, Miss Durain has made a new number in soft silky corduroy in eat-‘em col- ors, you bet. Ideal has the ideal blouses for these too. x o% o*% A brand new recipe for a brand {new fall day, just for you — Let \the restaurants brag about sea- food platters with seven kinds of seafood, a platter of the following has it ail beat to heck: Separate a cauliflower into flowerettes, slice thin, soak in salted ice water and then drain and dry. Have ready thin strips of green pepper, and small por- |tions of parboiled sweetbread. Al- so the smallest possible oysters, little squares of egg plant and |potato balls of your own favorite recipe. Now dip each piece of the as- sorted goods in a fritter batter and fry a golden brown in deep hot fat. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot with lemon quarters. As | you eat, every bite will be a sur- prise supreme. x* * It isn‘t so surprising now is it, to_walk into a shoe store and see lovely leather handbags. Af- ter all, shoes ARE leather goods. Well, the Globe Shoe Store on Fleming Street (formerly Pic’M) is no exception and in the big | New free-form shaped glass case in the new and modern part of this large store is | of leather handbags ‘seen these many moons. s There is, | believe in this case, a leather handbag for every oc- casion, outfit and color in your wardrobe. There’s a bold houndstooth check in green and white or black and white. Fine lizard in green or brown. Lovely two or three color kids in all shades of the rainbow, dark suedes and lovely unborn calf fur in dark brown. Other bags are straw in stripes and interesting shapes. Square seems to be a very popular shape this year in bags.

Cocktails were served beginning at 6 p.m. on the patio of the club. | The soft colored lights and swaying palms helped to set the mood for the Hawaiian note introduced when the group went into the dining room for the luau. The dinner was served to the guests at tables decorated with colored candles. Decorations suggesting a wedding | Scene were prominent throughout the dining room, giving a suggest- ion of the program which was to | follow. Chains of foil festooned the walls and pillars. Old shoes had |been added here and there. The |ball and chain idea was depicted |by more of the chains of foil fast- {ened to large gunmetal ballons | draped around the band stand. Dancing to the music of the Son- ar School band was the enjoyed by |the guests before and after the program which was presented pro- mptly at 10 p.m. The ‘“womanless wedding’’ skit revealed the hilarious ‘goings-on” at the hill-billy nuptials of Tiny Oats, played by Lt. J. B. Nairn, and J. Flivverton Barley imperson- ated by LCdr. R. E. Davis. Guests arriving at the wedding were introduced by the usher, Lt. A. Kokewich of HMS Rocket. Not- able among the arrivals at the wedding were Mr. and Mrs. Henry Wheatheart, uncle and aunt of the bride, who were played by LCdr. F. G. Morris, Jr., and Dr. Pete Buck, Mr. Wheatheart had several things to say to later arrivals, but his wife continually squelched him with the loud admonition, “You | Shet your mouth!”’ The arrival of Aunt Hominy Grits (Ens. H. S. Sease, Jr.) proud- ly pushing the bride’s baby sitter Easter Oats in a wagon disguised as a baby buggy. The baby, dressed in a white bonnet and dress and nursing a gallon jug, was played by LCdr. M. S. McKibbin. The bride’s grandfather, Pappy Rock’n Rye (Lt. S. E. Terrill), took umbrage at the attempts of ITEMS OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE Large Crowd Enjoys Surface Dev. |Group Party, Program At Ft. Taylor the soloist Mr. Turnip Green (Cdr. R. L.

There was the traditional old maid who wished she was the bride, and the jilted sweetheart of the groom moaned loudly and often that “her” heart was broken. These two were Miss Needza Mann (LCdr. I. G. Cockroft) and Miss Ubika Scratchfeed (Lt. G. S. Over- gaard). The wedding, with the bride charming in white curtain veil, sheer white dress and train and red flannels, was performed with- out mishap by Adam Turnipseed, official splicer played by LCadr. R. H. Byers. The groom showed some doubt as to the advisability of saying “I do” but finally yield- ed to the pressure exerted by the best man, Lt. A. A. Elwood, and the bride. In the wedding party were the maid of honor, Lt. J. E. Hugus; the ring-bearer in short pants and bright green tie, Lt. W. J. Nicol; the flower girl cute in a short skirt and yellow braids, Cdr. J. D. Mason; and the father of the bride with his tail coat and yellow sport shirt, Cdr. D. M. Swift. The anxious mother of the bride wore a pink and gray striped chambray dress. “She looked sus- piciously like Lt. J. S. Grischy. A neighbor, Mrs. Nosey Toadvine (LCdr. J. W.
