Page 4 SOCIETY PERSONALS ‘THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Friday, November 14, 1952 DOROTHY RAYMER, Society Editor One hundred seventeen years @go yesterday, Texas proclaimed her independence. From just what, I'm not sure I know, but she sure fs independent. Then on November 15, 1777, the Articles of Confedera- tion were adopted. All this seems ike trivia so many years later noted in a shopping column, but by golly, without meaning to wave the flag on high, I'd like to go on record as saying that it’s those darned little facts that build a country, fact by fact, until you have the colossal pile of Ameri- eanism that has evolved today. And now, this being America to- day where plenty is the order and tation books are practically un- known except in memory, let’s go downtown and see what’s offered on Duval Street and environs. xk *k * “Oh dem Golden Slippers” ‘in widget sizes for angel buckaroos at Christmas! Real honest to goodness golden slippers for the young’un at Ideal! Dr. Posner got gay for Christ- mas, too, and de adorable little satin mules with elastic heel strap and golden buttons, For their heart’s delight, a eowboy boot complete with buckle and chain and red tops that will make them think kindly of Santa _ felt slippers with a little dogey head. All the above are smart Christmas gifts to gladden little hearts. It’s a slipper Christmas this year. me x * Beans are for Saturday night from the rock bound coasts clear bo palm tree land. Now personally IT think a mess of beans all bubbly with pork in a fat bean pot is as pretty a sight as can be seen any- where, but there are some who say not, and this’s just for them: Parboil halves of green peppers, with the seeds removed, of course, Fill the ‘halves with beans all cook- ed and flavored and sprinkle all over with chopped crisp . bacon. Then over all, that traditional slice of browned salt pork. Bake and serve... .umnmamomn! xx Bright and early on Christmas morning. . . the first thing the kids will head for is the bright ved plastic platform rocker | saw at Western Auto Associate Store. It’s a cute pint-size up- holstered job that makes a com- fortable seat for the little folks. As yet, room being at a pre- mium at Western Auto. . .all the electric trains are still packed in boxes, but after seeing a few models, | can get a thrill from lust looking at silent. midget en- gines and imagining them run- ning along silvery tracks. There * are so many kinds and sizes, any- one would be pleased. | can also », imagine Pop getting as much fun out of them as Junior, There are also real: pint-sized elever reproductions ef tractors, earthworms, trailer trucks and so many other things. Actual scale models that really work! Western Auto Toy department is quite a place these days, . . so chock-full of teys you can hardly get around. Take ad- vantage of the generous lay-away offer there. =. x * * Did you see the Naval Hospital's soa! float in the Armistice parade? A ‘wonderful thing. The whys of pa- ‘rading on Armistice Day, and the solemn prayers, the jubilation and the quiet tears were uddenly brought to mind, too, by an old lady in white who stood quietly beside me in the background. She was wearing on her white head the perky little gold overseas cap that proclaimed her a gold star mother. As the cars rolled by bear- ing the other gold star mothers, she stood there clapping the loud- @st of all with tears streaming. Prom her age it could be judged that her son had died in the first World War, long ago, but the grieving was still fresh. The rea- son she stood there instead of rid- ing past was probably her own, but it made our prayers for peace the more fervent that there be less white crosses on foreign fields and fewer white-haried old ladies standing on a crowded cor- ner weeping for lost sons. Co eee A Tt can be quite a shock some- times te see Mom‘s styles in widget sizes. . .at Children’s Corner. There’s one there called “Fluffy Ruffles” that hes red ergandy ruffles on dark checked gingham that will wag most fetchingly over a@ , cute little “bum.” There are aise other styles . . . lumpers over sepa- girls, One 1 saw has a cute organdy blouse trimmed in the gay gingham. Raise the skirt and you'll find that the blouse con- tinues right on down to form a full ruffled petticoat. Blouse, jum- per and petticoat for the price of one garment. Even here in the warm south- land, soft fluffy blankets and shawls are welcome gifts. For that new darling. . . Children’s Corner has nylon shawls in smoochy colors. . . soft and fringed. Big fluffy white blan- kets that make you drowsy just to look at them. By Pepperel of cpurse, that tried and true old blanket firm. xk *& We have been reading a lot re- cently about the new moving pic- ture technique that is going to re- make the motion picture industry. It’s called Cinerama and you'll be seeing it in due course. The mov- ies hope to make competition much harder for television. When you go to see a Cinerama film, you'll feel as though the picture was not only in front of you but on both sides of you, too, and also the sound. \ They are making the prologue for introducing .this new film at Lowell Thomas’ place. In the pro- logue Lowell tells the story of the movies from prehistoric times to now. It seems impossible in telling, but Mr. T. has an ancient fresco from Spain which is the mer October 23 to November 23: “‘You have unusual sympathy with the psychic, especially as it relates to healing. This enables you to be a good physician or nurse. You may also be a leader in science and philosophy because of your keen mentality. Destined to many vicissitudes ‘of fortune, you will triumph over most of them be- cause of your nature.” Very nice, in fact VERY nice! Now what I'd like to know after reading all. the respective horos- copes: How come there are morons, villains and crooks, rapists, war criminals, murderers, thieves and wife beaters? In the’ whole twelve months, in all ‘the discriptions of people and personalities there, no criminal or brutal traits have been mentioned. So where do they come x** * ats The above is my masterpiece to date, no doubt! Well, with all the fag waving and what not, you'd still better get out and get some of that holi- | day shopping done, You can al- ready buy ahead in supplies of | hors d'oeuvres, canned sauces, | pumpkin, spices and dried fruit. jOodles of things no doubt, and you'll be glad it won't hit you so hard in the pocketbook just at the boliday times.

D, Rodin, 220-C Poinciana. Miss Pinkerton is vacationing jhere with her parents, Mr. and | Mrs. Robert E. Pinkerton, who are | professional writers.

Baugh- | man, onesof the members of the | group. After the short stories were | read, comment and criticism was | invited by the monitor, Margaret | Foresman. Miss Pinkerton advised |and answered questions in open | forum.

The story was to begin j; with the entry of a passenger or | passengers into a taxi. From there | on, the theme was up to the writer. |The situations which followed |ranged through fantasy, humor, | drama cording to the imaginative trend of | the author. The same material is to be re- polished and re-read in the light of the criticism offered, and to be | presented at the next meeting | which is set for Wednesday, No- | vember 19, at the home of Miss | Dorothy Rath, 400 Simonton St., at 8 p.m. New members are welcome.

March. and domestic erisis, ac-' By RAYMER “VALLEY OF THE EAGLES,” at San Carlos Theatre. A Sovereign released film, this most unusual picture was actually filmed in Sweden, Norway and on the Lapland tundra with herds of reindeer, packs of wolves and hunting eagles. The out-of-door shots, the handling of light effects and the character studies of Lap- land are fascinating. The plot of the story concerns a Swedish scientist who has been too devoted to his work to devote much time to his wife. As a result, she leaves with his assistant and takes a sound-into-light invention with her. The police of the Crown are advised and the husband joins them in the chase. It leads from Stock- holm streets to a gloomy mansion and from there out into the snow blanketed wastes of the stark Northland near the Artic Circle. The actors are British, with hand- some, big Jack Warner in the lead as the inventor. He is like a larger edition uf Stewart Granger. It takes an Englishman to say simply, “My darling. . .” and get all the implications. and complications of a romance into just that one phrase by the intonation. As the guilty pair with the in- vention are tracked across the frozen land, the audience is wit- ness to a fearful stampede in which a reindeer herd decimates itself by swarming over a cliff to pur- suit by wolves (. . .and there’s nothing like the eerie howl of a lo- bo leader and the glint of eyes in the outer darkness just beyond the camp fire to instill sheer terror) and to other exciting episodes in- cluding an avalanche. It is drama- tically photographed from the first thin trickle of snow to: thé- all- engulfing onrush which sweeps within range to destruction. Most sinister of all, are the barbaric Laplanders in skin cos- tumes right out of medieval days, as they stalk prey with fierce-eyed eagles on perches. When they ad- vance slowly through the deep drifts the menace is emphasized in the silent, grim faces of the men, and their peculiar flounder- ing approach. This’ is unique movie fare and guaranteed to satisfy the jaded taste of movie goers in search of something different.. iP ae f LIONS AUXILIARY SET MONDAY FOR MEETING The Lions Auxiliary will meet Monday, November 17 at 8 p. m. in the Lions Den on Seminary St., it has been announced.
