NEWS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN ITEMS OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE DOROTHY RAYMER, Society Editor Shop Hopping time again and wearer than ever to Thanksgiving. Last weekend really fel. as if the | frost was on the pumpkin, too. Nice football weather though. I s’pose you have your Thanks- pring Menu all planned, and tur- ey heads the list. Do you have your shopping done yet, Then it’s about time, and let’s go shopping. Re Rim 1 just got my orders from Mag- gie over at the Key West Gar- den and Lawn supply, and Mag- gie says to tell you that you should come on over there. The orchids are blooming and the birds are singing, and it’s a sight to see. Maggie has a whole new shipment of orchid plants, and you horticulturists with a yen for raising orchids could do well with some of these. Also think what nice Christmas pre- sents they’d make, Then in the aviary department, ‘these birds are guaranteed singers all, and Mem would surely like one on Christmas to keep her company with cheery singing all year round, xk * Everybody likes gingerbread, hot and fragrant with the spices of India. Give it the sundae treat- ment. , . serve each square warm with sliced bananas topped with a snowfy puff of whipped cream, Sounds also like Thanksgiving fare, and just right after a tummy splitting turkey dinner. x * * Fashion is a lady, so they say, and fashion is hoyden too! Ladies of fashion, and smart girls all like to go a dancing on a gleaming high-heeled dancing slipper of supple leather in gold or silver kid, Some with slender high heels, a slim strap to en- twine the ankle, some with a high wedge heel for a waltz or rumba. Wide straps, thin straps, nar- wow cords of gold or silver to flatter and slim your foot. Slip- pers for a fairy princess to dance in . « » with the man of your dreams. Want to match a gown? Then you can get Icvely white satin on special order and ha dyed to exactly the right shade. Now | suppose you are just wondering where you can all this. Well, let me tell you . over at the Globe Shore Store. Have heard recently that there are folks who have trouble find- ing it, Just scoot around the corner of Duval and Fieming Streets by the Southernmost Drug Store. Walk up Fleming toward Simonton, past Lee’s Orient and the Barber Shop ... and there you are! Globe Shore Store, Key West's largest shoe emporium, formerly known as Pic’M, That was before they grew up. * * * Found a practical guide for housewives in the use of tools re- cently, It list: among other things: Carpenter’s Level . . . a long flat piece of wood for propping up windows. Chisel, dandy as an ice pick as long as it lasts. Chalk- line, a strong cord for wrapping up garbage. Pliers, handy for driving tacks if you can’t find a wrench. Folding rule, even better than a screw driver for stirring paint and a wrecking bar, un- beatable for breaking into locked tool boxes. Now I have a few new uses for! the tools . . . in our locked tool box. Wt Isn't It fun to get vp on Sun- day mornings and have break- fast in nightie and robe or house- coat? I'm speaking right now directly to the little Miss or Mis- ter. Well, maybe Mamma will see this and go down to Ideal Togs where they have the biggest Selection of robes seen this or any other season. 1 saw some robes there Satur- day made of gay cotton crepes. Some of terry cloth, reversible and quilted, Cozy and warm for cool mornings. Gay plaid flannel- ette, all wool flannel, soft cor- duroy, and frilly fancy house- coats of mylon satin and nylon tricet teo! Boy's robes, girls robes, babies robes and robes for little tots. Beautiful robes to | grace your children’s tree. Colorful as can be, sizes zero | to twelve, prices from practically | nothing te a littie higher fer the | real lush ones. * lle! To shorten cooking time for baked potatoes, cut them in halves and bake cut side down on a lightly greased baking sheet. x * Now I've seen a let of things strung on @ curtain red... even curtains, but never a handbac! Well, over at the Southernmost Flowers and Gifts Workshop, Mrs. Key has frames for bags | mas frame with a cute little. curtain \Welcome To Skipper’s Wife rod-like arrangement. The frames | come in clear lucite, white or black pla: frame will do for all the bags you have the ‘ambition to make. After all, most of the expense of a bag is in the handle and now you can make one do for all. In the flower department, seems like the big bronze chry- santhemums and mums are just or of tortoise. One | right for your Thanksgiving table | and Mrs. Van makes some of the loveliest flower arrangements I’ve seen. Order yours right away. x * I have been dabbing runs with a bit of nail polish for stocking years. On those occasions when | I didn’t. have any clear polish and | it seemed important at the time | to save the stocking regardless, I sometimes went around looking as though I-was bleeding to death. However, it never occureed to me to use the polish for «nything else until I read about eight other odd jobs for polish. Here are a few I liked the best: To protect a com- pact. Brush.your new gold colored metal compact with.a coat of clear polish to help prevent scratches. Also brass *buttons, sil- ver jewelry resist ‘tarnish well if painted with clear polish. One I never thought of: When you crochet or sew by hand put several coats of polish on the side of your forefinger, This will pro- tect your from needle pricks and jabs from the crochet hook. A little-remover takes the polish off. More nail polish news anon. kk *& My usual weekly visit fo the Sigsbee Snackery was made on Friday morning instead of near- er noon as usual. Now Phil and Joe are a couple of Joes who always feed a hungry reporter when she cumes calling, and some delicious sandwiches and ice cream have been consumed by me at that very spot. How- ever, this time | got breakfast, and if set me ‘to thinking what a good thing the gals out in Sigshee Park have there and probably don’t even realize it. The idea is that hubby can, with- out any effort at all, stop by the Snackery for breakfast and you don’t even have to get up! 1 had eggs sunny side and toast and very delicious coffee. Joe cooked it and the eggs weren‘t broken, home style the bacon was just nicely crisp and the foast was that perfect color of brown and fresh and hot with a big pisce of butter melting on it. Why let the little woman aggravate her- self over breakfast. when she could be so much more cheerful at noon after that extra forty winks? Another treat at Sigsbee is the evening hours or after the game + @ giant banana split called ly a Jumbo Royal. Phil ays $ nauseous @ split as has ever been concocted, and | know what he means, It's so darned big that three quarters of the way through | feel as if perhaps 1 shouldn't eat quite all of it. However, there are those as can! The Jumbo Royal is just for them, and if they can eat more than two, Phil will s! around and watch you make your- | self sick on the third one for free, x *& * More dope on the nail polish situation: For fishing or camping | or just plain damp spells, matches ean be waterproofed with a coat of nail polish applied to the en- tire match. When you strike a match friction wears through the polish on the head, To restring beads quickly with-| out a needle, dip end of the string into nail polish and form a needle- tip point. This method is especial- ly handy when beads have holes too small for a needle and you have no beading needle handy, WoW ® Santa will be all [it up this Christmas and you'll think you are soeing things . . . and you | will be, Western Aute has some of these old fashioned light bulbs like they used to have years and years ago. They are tree bulbs in the shape of little Santa Clauses and mighty colorful tec. Western Auto Associate Store al- so has all sorts of new Christ- decorations both for the home and for the tree. Beauti- ful tinsel balis, strings of lights, icicles, artificial snow, and ail kinds of beautiful wreathes. 1 saw there something awfully sweet for a teble + @ small revolving tree with all its own lights gleaming when it’s plugged im, All electric, and a cute neve! ty.

The occasion was. the luncheon held at Aeropalms recently. Mrs. Hutchings was introduced to the group. During the business session plans were made for the Ft. Taylor Christ- mas ball and for the pet project of the VX-1 wives, the Thrift Shop. Theme of the luncheon was that of Thanksgiving. Decor was supervised by Mrs. W. C. Kistler. A“Cuban gourd ‘or pumpkin was hollowed out and filled with seasonal fruits and nuts as centerpiéce for the serving table.

Ai Becker and Cdr, J, H. Turner as a trio of boys who were whoop- ing it up at the floor show under the watchful eye of a waiter (Eubanks), whose __prizé..remark on viewing mipiature bottles was, "Gentlemen, or aré you?” This action reminded the trio of pro- hibition days, setting the .scene for what followed. And what followed put the crowd of about 400 in “stitches” and the entertainment continued to sew them up with laughter. Neely Laubendorfer, wife of Lt. (J.G.) William Laubendorfer from the Séa Dog sang the theme song. “Faraway Places” and “Jealousy,” to set the keynote. Memories ‘of duty in the Pacifie circled, nat- urally, into a lovely hula ‘num- ber danced by Fran Vaughn. Next came a parody on an Italian street song, “Waiting,” tions you had last yeer, you will find that this year they don't look nearly as nice as you thought. So this very weekend, get out those old decorations and take inventory. Then hurry on | down while you have a wonder- ful selection, and fill in.’ All home makers have a big box | just for Christmas, and it grows { and grows and grows. ee a good habit. and a wonderful taste treat where found. I had a jeold one for this summer, here’ {a hot one for now.

The Scrambled maneuv- ers’ were fanned out by Johnny Lajanuie, Doc Byrnes and Nick Nicholson. (At this point it 8 best to use simplé names, not ranks). Time flapped back to the days of flappers and Charleston. A line directed by Midi Benis pranced cut in knee-length dresses, with waistlines at the hip, and ban- deux on the bobbed heads. dn the lively chorus (and lively is the understatement of the week), were Joan Seacord, Guy Morgan, Judy Moore, Josie Zelov,.- Edie Kossert; and Arline Brown. Dialogue for posterity followed. Shamer claimed the Charleston age was before his time “when and the Gilmore ed it was the period when Capt. Gordon Selby was just getting |started.

Citrus fruits added to the scheme. The entire production was di- rected by Cdr. Frank Shamer with scenery by Sal Rainie; “By The Sea” costumes were styled by Nancy Dean. Posters were made by Peggy Packer, Mary Gatchel and Betty Gorden. Props. were handled by Emily Kennedy, Harry Brown, Dick Jackson and Sally Shamer. The music for the show and dancing was played by’ Gus Ayala. When funnier entertainment ‘is coordinated, it will probably be by the same crew!
