Page 4 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Wednesday, October 8, 1952 SOCIETY. PERSONALS.. NEWS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN ITEMS OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE MARGARET FORESMAN, Society Editor SHOP HOPPING JAXON According to my exceilent Rexall Almanac, this is the an- niversary of the forming of the E. German Republic. Wonder whatever happened to all those folks behind the Iron Curtain. Wednesday, October 8th is a pretty important date in my life too. You see, it is my wedding anniversary, so I just kind of feel like dedicating not only a column, a day or a week to it, but the whole darned year — way up to the next one. This seems to be a big month at our house for Anniversaries any- how: What with one birthday, two wedding anniversaries, my mom and dad, and me, and a Shop Hopping birthday, it is just plumb full to the brim. What's |think it must mean Arrived at the Ditty Box at exactly the right moment Mon- day. The window was being decorated! There was a large of that wonderful gold wine brocaded silk spread and a delicate Siamese of shimmering red and with green highlights draped carelessly above a carv- @d mahogany head from Bali, &@ gorgeous wonderful thing. Centered in front of a huge walnut tray from India, iniri- eately inlaid with ivory, re- P ses a huge, hideous laughing Budda, Hoi Toi of good luck fame. I'm proud to report that choose the pair of vases there. Lovely smoke crystals too, gol embroidered highlights, the and brass ar- there and the lect made’ mysterious elony carved knife, ! £ § SHH | Flere g°8 7 ef * Shop Hopping goes on apace, but I’m now better at the Shop- ping. Came down hard on a nail on Sunday and thereby lies a story, and the thought that may- be all the gripes about Monroe Hospital aren't so bad after all. A. fast call to the Naval Hospital to the Emergency part resulted in a long two hour wait before they cecided to even take my mame. During the wait the staff went for lunch, and siesta we suspect. All this while I sat on a straight backed chair in a hall- way surrounded by assorted parents and sick babies. Every time @ dor opened anywhere, at least eight heads swiveled like ‘pectators at a tennis tourna- ment, ever so hopefully. It was & beautiful clean hallway, and I touldn'’t help but wonder if any results would be forthcoming if yomeone started bleeding on it, br just being sick. All this while { was also bitterly holding onto hy wounded foot just picturing Wl the gleeful little germs way ap in that tiny little nail hole working fast and furious at pumping poison through my veins, Well, young Doc: finally ame back to work, and from hen on I couldn't complain a bit, he was real efficient, but it will take longer to recover from hy bruised: feelings than from he wound. A bright, cute young nurse rushed me off with, “Doctors * pave to have their schedules and test too, you know.” I was too ired, hurt, and confused to think wa real bright answer at the moment, but on thinking it over, do believe Dearie, I heard a umor once that they have TWO ut rf tT A f ie se backs. These come in the sin- gle or double beds. There are studios with arms and studios without, They are covered with a profusion of beautiful patterns and fabrics, and the: to make it still more confusing, you can have one made to or- der from any one of a swatch of beautiful patterns that you don't sec in the store. As I said, this week comes the Simmons couches, made to suit Hy Alt- man’s careful specifications. So maybe I'll g back after all, Every home needs one, xkxx«erk Sequel to the story about the nail hole is the second trip for a Tetanus shot. I was’ sent to the “DP” department. I- still “Displaced Persons” because from there I was directed to Pediatrics, The young pharmacist’s- mate on the desk was the same one who had heard my bitter complaints the day before. He looked up, and quietly covered his head. From there on, it was lovely. A cute blonde this time administered the needle. I noticed she had a sun- burned nose. I’m still limping, but getting on with the Shopping. kkk Little Annie or Joe used to be relegated to the hall, bedroom, a corner of Mom’ ind = Pop’s room, er the “spare” room, from the time they were old enough to leave the crib till the wedding. Nowadays the little Annies and Joes have rooms of their own from the very beginning and furn- iture of their own too. Lucky An- nie and Joel These charmingly decorated rooms are often the hub of the home. Yesterday at the Caroline Shop 1 saw at least six different de- signs in drapery fabrics or cov- ers for children’s rooms. Things to make a kid just sit and dream. One of Cowboys and Indians and big high mountains and low fiat plains. Another of seas and ships on a royal blue background. One in a red or beige of our pioneer- ing ancestors with their covered wagons. Each design telis a story. For littler folk — a full big circus, and another of little ships on azure seas, These materials are many prices too. You can pay what you can afford and be sure of finding a lovely choice that will please the little one. xe After the prophylactic tour, could you stand a recipe? Brown Betty or bread pudding is a standard way of using up old crusts, Here’s a new.one of peaches and lemon. Pour 2 cups milk over 4 cups stale bread crumbs lightly packed. Beat two egg yolks with one-half cup sugar, one-fourth teaspoon salt, one fourth teaspoon nutmeg, the grated peel and juice of one lemon and 2 tablespoons melted butter and combine gently with the bread and milk, Spread -in well «greased 9” baking dish about 2” deep. Set in pan of hot water and bake in mod- erate oven for 45 min. Beat egg whites until stiff and add sugar to make meringue. Remove pudding from oven and arrange well drain- ed canned peaches on top. Pile i meringue unevenly about peaches, Serve! return to oven to brown. warm, x * There's nothing the ladies like se much eas a knock down drag ‘em off sale. Well, there's a won- derful sale just like that being | conducted in a lady like manner right this minute at Mar-Ed’s, but #f you doen't go in and look, | you'll never know what you are missing. Mar-Ed is offering wonderful buys in all the “Name” women’s apparel you are familier with in | their store at unbelievable prices. There are very few summer dresses included. All can be worn this winter, There are five dolier, eight dolier, ten dollar, fifteen dollar and twenty deller racks containing some amazing buys.

Hostesses for the event were the members of the Woman’s Club with Mrs. Wallace B. Kirke, president, heading the receiving line. When guests arrived for the eve- ning, they were greeted by Mrs. Hollon Bervaldi, Mrs. Carl Bervaldi and Mrs. Orion Russell, The guests were asked to sign the register, and each was given a name tag in the form of an autumn leaf. The leaves with different colors for guests and members, were provid- ed by Mrs. Ramon Rodriguez, Mrs. rye Cobo and Mrs, Raymond Fel- mn. After being greeted and introduc- ed to many of the members, the ladies were ushered into the meet- ing room of the club where they listened to Miss Marie Louise Cap- Pick talk on many phases of the historical background of Key West. Miss Cappick is conversant with much of the background of the city which newcomers will not learn from books. Of particular interest to the lis- teners was Miss Cappick’s story of a visit she herself made to a voo- doo ceremonial here in Key West. She was invited to attend the rites by the queen of the voodoo follow- ers, and she expressed herself as not having particualrly enjoyed the dancing, sacrifice of a chicken and other aspects of the évening’s en- tertainment. She described the Place of the voodoo dance as being at the head of Thomas street, Miss . Cappick’s grandparents came to Key West from Ireland in Stauffer, Gladys Hulbert, Helen Williams, L. R.
