THI iE KEY WEST CITIZEN Friday, December 5, 1952 SOCIETY — PERSONALS — NEWS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN ITEMS OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE DOROTHY RAYMER, Society Editor SHOP HOPPING Somebody whe recently noted the number of places selling alcoholic beverages in Key West and came . up with an astronomical figure would sure be surprised to learn that most of them have most cer- tainly evolved since this date in 1933 when the 18th Amendment was repealed. Another in the line of anniver- saries is the one of the birth of Martin Van Buren, 8th President of the United States, in 1762. This is also the anniversary of the 17th shopping day before Christmas, and we’d better start shopping! xk This is the very first time that I have ever seen a car painted a brilliant ice cream color being used to sell vacuum cleaners. However, that is exactly the case of the one belonging to Alex Lubinsky who is our local Elec- « trolux man, He just recently had his Mercury repainted and he came up with a color combina- tion that reminds me of a liver- ish Key West Sunset just before a big blow. It’s a sort of a pale magenta with black. Now | have seen this same color on funeral ears, baby laundries, and even flower shop delivery trucks, but Never anywhere associated with the sort of machines you use to whisk the dirt off your rugs. 1 must ask Mr. Lubinsky the next time | see him if he is really an extrovert, or if they had that cool on sale. | surely vehicles, but | suspect that the only one will probably just go right on belonging to the Elec- trolux man, and you will know when you see it that he is in the neighborhood. Just ohe other thought struck me. Supposing Mrs. Lubinsky wants. to use the car, and she fs all dressed up in a brand new ‘Scarlet suit. Ugh! x kek Most times when you fry, broil or roast fowl, the giblets have a habit of getting in the way. There’s 80 little of them that it hardly seems worthwhile to cook them. A big favorite in our house, and yours too when you’ve tried it, is made with these left over bits. Save the giblets in your freezer and if the family is large, sup- plement with a box of the frozen ones, O. K., let’s go. Cut the assorted ” giblets, liver and hearts into bite size pieces. Pour three tablespoon olive oil into the skillet and brown well with one clove garlic minced, two large onions chopped, one half green pepper chopped, and one can mushrooms or one cup fresh “* mushrooms. When browned well, cover tightly and simmer until the meat is cooked. Serve over white or yellow rice, *«* * Softer'n @ Kitten’s ear has to be some soft, and it sure is when it’s a soft nylon shawls like the ones at Ideal Togs. It’s the nicest gift you could give that favorite newcomer. The nylon is like the softest cashmere, and is 90 washable, In ice cream colors, including lime. Fringed, knotted or satin bound, all kinds of sizes, or and some are even embroidered with dainty little rose buds. Wrap your littlest one in dreams in one of these beau- tiful shawls. And don’t forget all bugs, in- eluding termites have a big res- pect, even an aversion to nylon, se you'll have no bug problems | Im storing it.

These are plastic plates in sets of four that hold ... sfeady too... hors d‘oeuvres AND glass. away nicely for your buffet to look at in colors with attractive painted glass. If glass is too breakable... Gift House has chrome cocktai shakers too. So attractive’ and they sure can take Not to forget that Santa is coming. and so soon, a won- derful special gift for a special friend. The Italian Ceramic “Fish Plates” sets. These are both colorful and useful. Then another inexpensive gift, packaged “Thermo tum- blers.”” Four will make eight and will keep a beverage hot or coid without either penetrating to the outside of the tumbler. kkk A good old winter favorite at home used to be fried salt pork! or ham steak and cream gravy. Now cream gravy has no resem- blance to white sauce which: is generally a fairly good substitute for flour paste and will hold wall paper up very well. But to get back to the cream gravy, use your best white sauce recipe and then when the meat is fried, dump these raw ingredients into the skillet in which the meat was fried, and taste the difference, to steal a phrase from a ciggie ad. wk Thrilling as anything. . . a bou- quet of lovely roses for Christ- mas. However, between you me, and the fence post, I'd rather have a rose bush and grow my own! That's where Baldwin's comes in. They have a brand new ship- ment of roses that are beautiful. Giant creamy yellows, that are the wonderful Fred Howard| Hy- brid Tea Roses. Big pure white ones, deep purple red ones, light pink, peachy pink and rose color- ed. So if you have a y or one of your friends you'd like to es- pecially remember has a yard, @ beautiful rose bush for Christ- mas ‘is a gift that will live all year long, and be long remember- ed. - A hint to the curious minded folks that like to go poking around. .. like me, Ever see an “Angel's Trumpet?” Baldwin's has them. Trumpets to make St. Peter turn green with envy, and you can grow these too, White or purple, take a look, xk * A September-old flying sauter seare in the now it can be told class. Way back then when the decorations now about to be hung on this year’s towering Christmas tree in Rockerfeller Plaza in New York City created quite a scare by catching the eye of the police and several defense people there. Way up thirty floors or more where the Center has a display studio, and where they were testing the metal to see how they held up in the open air, people called to the police and reported flying saucers. ANYTHING could be a flying Saucer you know! x** i | | Can you imagine yourself a little girl again receiving some of the things they have today for | Children? Well, if you'd like to give your little girl that same thrill, one of those darling robe and nightie sets at Children’s | Corner will do it! Yesterday Willie Mae Simmons showed me a nightie and robe that made me wish for the same thing in my size, only this came te just size eight. Of rayon tricot, the quaint little robe had a bustie and ruffles, The rightie was de- | mure with yoked top, but so 20th century! They come in ice cream pink, heavenly bive, and butter- | cup yellow. What little girl wouldn't like a new dress for Christmas? The little red and white checked sheer (white on red) in the window at Children’s Corner with the crisp white organdy pinzfore must be — on every Santa Claus Lavishly trimmed with lace and velvet bows, it's made by Addie Rese and comes in sizes | Mhree to six-x.

Maid’s N ight Out By RAYMER “The Lusty Men,” at San Car- fos Theatre Well podner, them roJeos is shore a rough tough scrambled up life, what with riding bronchs and Brahma bulls and bulldogging them little maverick steers! Fust thing you know, you’re all busted up. Why, all you have to do is look around and see all them ol’ cow- pokes, pokin’ along on crutches or hobblin’ like a horse that’s sprung his legs. Thar’s a big parcel of ’em, too. Now you take that Ro- bert Mitchum. He’s a big strong feller, but after bein’ a rodeo star fer a long time, even he ain’t no superman anymore. So he goes down in the Panhandle of Texas, and he aims to settle down near his ol’ home. He meets up with a young couple who are tryin’ to buy a little ranch. So he shows the husband how to make some money fast. All, he has to do is go into rodeo work. Mitchum manages this yearlin’ rider, an’ shore *nuff, he mades the big time as a rodeo star; Arthur Kennedy is the actor, If you think that sun-fishin’ bronchs is the only danger, you got a surprise comin’. Why, when | them lusty rodeo riders gits money in their levis, they head for the nearest gamblin’ joint, or crap game. They do two-fisted shootin’ + of the dice. . , and the two- fisted drinkin’, and they git their hands full of gals, too. It’s enough the boys. A truly wonderful spirit of co-operation exists between the The Three Musketeers, it is, ‘One Outstanding Young Man Candidate To Be Sponsored By Woman’s Club The Woman’s Club decided to sponsor a candidate for the Jay- | Cee contest to name the most outstanding young man of the year | at their regular business meeting this week. Further consultation | will be held and the chosen name will be announced when a de: Sinawik Club Will Elect New Officers Dec. 10 At a well attended and enjoyable dinner meeting at Raul’s Restua- rant, the Sinawik Club voted to have an election of club officers for the coming year combined with a buffet supper. This will be held in Mrs. Piedad Archers’ spacious home beginning at 6:30 p. m., Wednesday, Dec. 10. The club is fixing gifts for the servicemen who are in the hospital here, hoping to help make their Christmas a little less lonesome. Many were brought to the meeting and others are to be taken to Mrs. Archer’s before this week is over. Reports were given by committee chairmen who really have worked to make the first year of this new organization a successful one. Many projects have been under- taken by the Club, which has worked with the Kiwanis on Child Welfare, Childrens’ Day and the Christmas Program for Underpri- vileged Children. The project which has given the club the most pleasure and satis- faction has been the Keyette Club of our local high school, where the aims and objects of the girls are similar to the Key Club of clubs, and like D’Artagnan and News Publisher From California Visits Key West Recent visitors to Key West were Publisher and Mrs. James S. Cop- ley of San Diego, Calif., on vaca- tion. They stopped at the Key Wester according to Mrs. Ralph Noble who used to write a business column for one of Copley’s news- papers. He is chief of Union Tri- bune Publishing Company at San Diego. The Copleys stopped in at Noble’s Art Center and purchased a water color of shrimp boats by Tom Lane, local artist and instructor at the Key West High School. Dur- ing the conversation, Mrs. Noble discovered the identity of the buyer and discovered that Mr. Copley was the owner of the chain of Papers for which she wrote. Her column was a feature over 15 years ago in the Culver City Star News in California. The Copleys left yesterday after enjoying-relaxation under the Key West sun. Mrs. Noble said that the paint- ing purchased by the publisher was the second Florida scene by Tom Lane sold this week which will find itself decorating a Cali- fornia home.

Top Enrollment For Schools In Red Cross Told Pupils in the Monroe County Elementary schools, the Convent and the Douglass High school en- rolled one hundred per cent in the Junior Red Cross during the mem- bership drive last month, reports Mrs. Anna Rosam, Junior Red Cross chairman. The total amount collected in the schools was $221.55. These con- tributions will assist the Juniors to carry on their work in the school and also enable a member to attend a training center during the summer months. This fund al- so helps to carry on international activities of the Junior Red Cross. During the Enrollment period films depicting Junior Red Cross activities in this country and foreign countries- were shown in Truman, Harris and Douglass schools. Thanksgiving tray favors were made by the Juniors under the direction of their teacher-sponsors for the U. S. Naval Hospital, Mon- Toe General Hospital and the Mon- roe County homes for White and Negroes. Favors are now being to bust up any pore lil’ wife’s heart.
