Festive candles which look good enough to eat are there to light |your way to Christmas dreams. Some are pink and green, some blue and silver, rose and gold, and of course red and green. They are shaped and made for long burning, but even unlit, the glitter dust with which they are sprinkled is a glamor touch. The table also holds handknitted highball glass jackets, and lapel nosegays made of small Christmas ornaments in jewel tones or ruby, emerald, gold and silver, some with little pine cones and all tied with gay ribbon. There are also Xmas drapes and wall brighteners that will look nice at your window, on your door or on mantel corners. They are creat- ed of silvered fruits, cones, ribbons and tree ornaments, festooned for festivity. Scrap books in solid colors, fancy work in blue an¢ rose with a gold metallic thread in the delicate crochet, flyswatters with butterfly ideas (it’s outlined and seamed with vari-hued sequins) add to the unique slant of all the articles. The apron table, of which Mrs. H. E. Pace has charge, offers an array of dainty and useful aprons, mostly cocktail numbers for fancy serving. Mrs. Pace modeled a blue denim with very funny wording on the front. Mrs. Wallace Kirke, president of the club, modeled a frivolous red dotted Swiss apron with ruffied edge, snowball pom- poms and a waist corsage fashion- ed of frosted bells, crimson balls and touches of Christmas green. \There’s also a dainty pink one, some in hibiscus print, one in mauve and brown and sorhe sturdy ones labeled His and Hers, just ‘in case hubby wants to show his prowess at Christmas dinner.

Florence Jernigan, the gal with the pleasant telephone manner, isn’t the only person who will be sorry to see Chartrand leave. On the temporary absentee list is Jon Duffy now in New Orleans.

I was elsewhere munch- ing away on another of those won- derful cuisine specials at Earl Johnson’s with Vickie Whalden, Lew Strong and Lee McCaulie, no relation to Claude M’ Collie. The garden there is rimmed with trees bearing delicious fruit including guavas which shade the roof. We also enjoyed a record playing ses- sion, and followed that up with the Barn Theatre after-the-play party. CHARADES were the highlight of the evening. Jim McLaughlin will probably never forget the role he had in one of them. He was carried on stage, all six feet four of him, by Rusty Pitman, and for a moment the charade guessers in the audience thought they were adding on a scene from “John Loves Mary” which is mentioned but not enacted . , . where his buddy carries the hero through shot and shell.

The apron on the left indicates a paradox, for although the punch line trim on blue denim indicates that “comes the revolution” husbands will have to shift for them- selves, the ladies are also backing the noted Key West Cook Book.
