HIGH NOTE OF (Continued from Page Four) patio dress becomes shoulder glamour one for dancing. It has a gimmick. . . .detachable sleeves. Like the glow of fire on ice was the brilliant full-skirted dress in poinciana-shaded fabric called “Iced Cotton.” The brilliant glazed vermillion had a delicate tracery of bronze-gold floral design. High choice was a Grecian de- sign with straight lovely lines, a toga effect with drape caught up ‘over one shoulder. The background was what used to be called maize. It’s soft yellow. The classic line was enhanced with a braid trim in blue and white and a trace of leaf green. Enchanting was the changeable lilac and green with metallic shim- mer, pure silk cocktail and dance concoction, number 17 on the list. It’s for the younger generation. Dawn pink nylon fashioned a dress which is perfect for a wedding or a debut. Another color scheme, in- spired by skyscapes, was the pur. ple and rose irridescent silk gown which took its glow directly from a tropical sunset. All the richness of a medieval tapestry from the Far East glit- tered in the next to the last selec- tion, The gown, suitable for for- mal wear or cocktail, had a deep ultra-marine background. and in- trieate Teaf and bird emblozoned pattern’ in gold with totiches of silver, Climax of the delightful “modes de luxe” was an evening creation of emerald organza with a swirl- ing skirt and scarf which could be draped over the head like a sari. The green field was illuminated with tiny tri-foil shamrocks in burnished gold. in| an off-the- | CONCH CHOWDER By RAYMER The mystery of the long-legged, , strange bird, not a prowler, but a member of the stork family, has been partially solved. It has been at least tentatively identified as a |jabiru stork from South America. |The four-foot tall bird was first seen wading around in a marshy section of the ground in the rear of Everett Sweeting’s home on Fo- | garty Ave. A picture and a story on the weird looking visitor was used, and Frances Hames of the Audubon Society said it was pro- bably a kind of stork. Mrs. Sweet- ing looked flustered and said she hoped not. Anyway the Sweetings don’t have a chimney on their house. The same day the stork was spotted, word came that the night before, a baby was born in a taxi-cab and it is rumored that other cab drivers took out anti- stork insurance when they found out about the winged stranger. It is also rumored that bars around town suddenly had a run on a whiskey mistakenly called ‘“Cud- dy Stork.” THE JABIRU has 2 black head} with a grayish circle on top like a skull cap, a black bill, slate- gray legs and a snakey black neck, the better to reach down chim- neys with, I suppose! Its body is white and there is a ruff of rose- color around its shoulders. It had a wise look. It’s a wise stork that knows its own family. The trouble is no one here knew what was going on in the bird’s brain, bird brains being like the star’s nick- name in“Born Yesterday.” And that of course is stark stork im- plication. Stuart Whiting, president of the Audubon Society, almost fell off his perch, but he called the Rare Bird Farm or had someone call for him and the chirp back was that they had to check to see if they had lost a fowl of that descripti Frances Hames went to Miami with the story and picture which had appeared in the Citizen. She show- ed it to Charles M. Brookfield, | tropical Florida representative of the National Audubon Society. He telephoned the Rare Bird Farm near Kendall and was told they would like to have the bird whe- ther it is theirs.or not, and would soMeone please put it in a box and send it via Greyhound bus to the farm. So it looks as if the Sweetings are going into the bird catehing and boxing business with neighborly aid.

Bob Youmans, winner of | the “Mrs, Key West of 1952” con- test, was introducted at the meet- | ing. She was the Jayshees’ entry in the contest, and was presented with a small token of appreciation.

Draperies and a bed spread for the Auxiliary room will be obtain- ed in time for the dedication of this in the near future. A vacum cleaner and heaters for the County Home are also to be purchased. 3 Decision on the hospital equip- ment was made after examination |of a list obtained from doctors in town. Auxiliary members stated that since their aim was to cooper- ate with physicians and the Mon- roe General staff in supplying items needed for the use and com- fort of patients, delegated mem- bers asked each local physician what was most needed. Then, with the able assistance of Hospital director Albury, who corresponded with companies carrying the de- | sired equipment, price lists were studied and the, final’ decisions made. President of the group, Mrs. George Lucas points out that the Auxiliary meets only one afternoon a week at the hospital to sew and that all residents and out-of-town- ers who are interested are cordial- ly invited. Transportation will be supplied if the person calls Mrs. Lucas or any other member of the group, The sewing work consists of making new garments, mending and making of pads and other hos- pital materials, At the business session Novem. ber 12, Mrs, Henry Sands was ap- pointed for beautification of the grounds and Mrs. Alfred Sawyer named chairman of the House com- | mittee, Plans for the Christmas decora- tion of the hospital and a ‘‘thought” jfor the patients were discussed.

But at high altitudes, the vision clears. The Democratic platform offered much to many. Yet the point remains that the Republicans of 1952 are better salesmen. The over-all perspective (from up on the limb) reveals .nuch that is now undisputed. Democrats were asleep at the post and awake at the post- mortem. For Stevenson, loss was gain. Despite a lack of Democratic funds, and a sed press, his | message was felt in the human | heart. Stevenson was respected; then liked; now sought. He no man of the hour, but a man of the ages. But the present holds priorities over the past. A general concern for the national welfare unites all divisions in an alert for better government. Dwight Eisenhower could, if he would, with coopera- tion of his Congress, become the arbiter of our problems and phy- ing his brand of “socialized medi- cine” is a draught of peace, pros- perity’ and fair play.
