Long time no see, and golly it sure is good to be back. A little wobbly perhaps, but back all the same, and I can still look, so all I have to do is Manage to get around somehow, me eyes open, and report me findings. After all, that is what shop hopping is, anyhow isn’t it? My calendar says that good old January is just about over and we are about to embark on a brand new month. Number two in the calendar year, it says here, and how are your New Year’s Re- solutions? Whole? Cracked? Bust- ed? Or’ just plain gone beyond re- . Pair? Well, it’s not too late to make some new ones. The old ones Probably weren't very practical any! how. Let’s right now make 2 resolu- tion to go shopping, and see what kind of bargains I’ve found for you. and if you are also interested in clothes. . .(find one who isn’t), then you'll be very glad to know that the sale is con- tinuing on this week at Mar-Ed. You've been to Mar-Ed sales before, but it’s been a long time since the last moving day for that nice ladie’s shop, so you haven’t seen anything like this one in a long time, In case you don’t know where it is, Mar-Ed has moved into one of those beautiful brand new stores in the building right across the street from the La Concha Hotel. They have really outdone them- selves and refilled those sale racks for five, ten, and fifteen dollars. They are also continuing the one dollar table where you will find those slips, the two tone black and white jobs that former- ly sold for $5.95. Yes, these going for only one dollar too! Also famous make bras, girdles, scarfs and many other miscel- laneous items. Go on down while the selection is good. It’s still not ft 2 cute blond nurse, course a. group of Doctors ganged up on me and made holes in my hemstitched up, but it was all in my best interests, and like I said, ly, and just plain swell. A great big Shop Hoppin’ orchid to our Naval Hospital, and while it’s not very much fun to be sick any; where, by golly if 1 gotta be sick at all, I’m sure glad I live right here near it. 2ER DB Th little place in our town that § think should be a must om every Tourist list, and also a place to visit by Key West- ers from three to three hundred That’s the Pet Shop over on Caro- line Street by the Mascot Bar. It’s a little place, not very well marked, but it’s close by where you go to see the not far from Lowe's and directly across the street from the Railway Express Agency, so you really ought to be able to find it. When I arrived there yesterday , Morning, they were just in the process of cleaning up, and there -were the happiest aggregation of birds and animals in that place you ever saw. Cookie, the little wooly monkey was busy finding out how the bird cage on the couch was put together, the baby spider monkey was calling out at the top of his lungs for attention, the parrots were screaming, and all the parakeets were chattering at once. The sun was streaming in, and whatever it was they were trying to tell me, it sounded like a gay good morning. Among the adoptables at the Pet Shop were two just begging for a home. One was a little cream colored Pekinese male pup just eight months old, and a@ more loveable tyke | never saw. Completely housebroken and lonely too, he comes to the Pet Shop from a family who couldn‘t too late. Sale ci on through the end of this week. . xe * It’s been a long time between too, and Thad a, lot-of think about appetizing things to eat while I was growing my new head, so here’s a recipe for one I remembered: Did you ever have chicken livers and gib- lets Italienne? Brown a few cloves of garlic chopped fine, one large onion same, and half a green pepper in three tablespoons olive oil. Add two pounds chicken giblets and livers mixed and cut up into bite sized chunks. When frizzled add half pound fresh mushrooms or large can of canned mushrooms, choped, salt and pepper to taste, and don’t forget the dash of accent. cover and simmer until tender. May also be cooked in a pressure cooker. If pressure cooked, fifteen minutes is sufficient. Serve with cooked rice and the family will ask for it often. x * * 1 don't know whether being under the weather is sometimes a boon or a calamity. One thing’s for sure . . | missed my Electro- lux demonstration! Of course it ‘was out of the question for me fo get down and examine the rugs for lint, swoosh air through ‘the venetian blinds, or spray flea powder on the cat with my head thumping and all done up in band- ages, so the man with the pastel Mercury had to pass me by and go and show ir house. . wife how to get the dirt from under her rugs. So | made another date for the foxed him. He isn’t going to park ft in front of my house! He Kas Promised to park it down the Street aways in front of some- one else's house, Gee, | wouldn't ‘want the neighbors to think | had @ car that color. Of course, most everyone is getting te know by mow that the car the bees follow around belongs te Mr. Lubinsky whe peddies these Electrolux Vacuum cleaners, but there just might be someone in the Sight- Seeing Bus thet passes who thought the owner of my parti- cular house was the one who | would paint a perfectly good car | that color, and | don’t want te | be accused of being color blind ++ even by a tourist! x eek You know, sometimes it's real | mice to be wrong! I mean some- times it’s even nice finding out} you're wrong. I made some mighty | snide remarks about our Naval! Hospital some time ago, and some | people really took it to heart too. | keep him because of the persis- tent teasing of a small child. The other waif, who bares no re- semblance to a waif at all is the most ‘gorgeous specimen of a Doberman Pinscher imaginable. He too is eight months had all his shots, tail properly tailored, and he’s a wonderful animal. Answers to the name of “Mike.” 1 don’t know any of the details of his arrival, but he has certainly been brought up like a gentleman, and would make a fine companion and trusty guardian in any home. Then of course there are those beautiful little finches of all varieties, who delight in breeding madly in’a nice home of their own. | even heard tell of a sly character who bought a pair of finches from the Pet Shop and now sells baby finches back to the Pet Shop every other month or sol 5 RGR. eh I’ve found there’s more than one way to skin a cow, and there seems to be a good many ways to do other things too. The best way to get your boy friend to call you up from a great big distance was de- monstrated the other week, and I know the pretty blond nurse at the Naval Hospital won't mind too much if I tell you of this, It seems that her distant sweetheart had been begging for a lock of her lovely blond hair, and also it seems that he had been begging in vain. Well as she was shearing off great hanks of my hair, she suddenly was struck with an idea. Right now I'll bet he thinks something heavier should have struck her, Anyhow, she tied up a lock of my hair with a blue. ribbon and ship- ped it off to far away Arizona labeled “The New Look.” You'd be surprised how fast she got a phone call, and from Arizona yet! Only I neglected to ask her whether it was because he thought the new look was so horrible- or so nice. Tell him to give the hank ‘o hair to a friend, honey. Snackery way, and | kinda miss- ed the place. Weil, yesterday was the day, and I’m real glad | went out to lunch. It was 2 cool clear day with a breeze blowing and that was the best darn chili in town er out. | understand that Joe makes it himself and it was full of nice juicy hamburger, with little globs of onion floating and then of}! head which were later all nicely : they treated me courteously, kind- |}: ITEMS OF INTEREST * WHILE THERE IS NO NEED TO BEAUTIFY an already acclaimed beautiful track, the Key West Kennel Club is bringing to Key West the above pictured bevy of beauties for the Inaugural Night of Racing. With their chaperon and producer-com- mentator, Matilda Krause, are pictured left to right, Shirlee Young, Miss Miami; Nancy Muhler, Sandra Worth, Miss Coral Gables; Iris Maxwell, Matilda Krause, producer; Mary Elizabeth Mills, Elaine Stearns, Toby Gerard, Queen of the Fishing Tournament; and Bunny Yaeger. These girls are not only noted for their beauty, but for their outstanding talent which was partly responsible for the winning of their titles. A memorable show is promised to all track goers and a capacity crowd is expected. Of course the big ball of Sealtest Ice Cream on the top was no de- traction either. Oh my aching calories! ft all of a sudden occurred to me though, after a windy session out at the Ball Park, how easy to scoot across on that new road, to Sigsbee Park and the Sigsbee Snackery for a big steaming bow! of Chili, a hot cup of coffee and 2 piece of pie. Of course if your tastes doen't run to Chili, theres always the Sigsburger, the Twin- burger, and the others of the Sigsbee Family of good eating. xk It’s not in the line of Shop Hop- pin’, but tonight I am embarking on a very nice task. You can’t hardly miss the Ann Delafield Beauty Course on the next ‘page, and I am so glad that they asked me to conduct it. I think that in Sylvia I have found the perfect model, and it’s going to be fun to work with her. I had. another charming gal, but the Delafield people thought that she didn’t re- present the average, and it’s all the average people we are aiming at. I'd like to see every shop hop- pin’ gal in Key West in on this course, and Key West will be a pretty nice place to.live in. Imagine a town with no “tubbies!”” xk Hot pads and plates get so tough looking in such a short time. Well this is a problem you don’t need te worry about any longer, because the Ditty Box has some lovely fired tiles with the map of Florida on them to use as hot plates. They are easily wiped off, and very de- corative too! Then, for that lovely touch to a lovely gown, a Guatemalan silver necklace. The one | saw was designed and made for a bride, and ‘t's a pure silver strand of beads, very long so you-can wind it ‘round and ‘round but not very heavy because they are hollow. Each little bead in- tricately carved, a lovely thing. For yourself, and for a gift. The Ditty Box is such a wee treasure chest, some folks don‘? know where it is. Well it’s on the left hand side of the street, on Duval in the second block off Truman Ave. as you go dewn town. You won't want to miss it x* kk I just read in the National News- letter that Arthritus and Rheuma- tism “run in families.” This was the result of a recent study among 600 members of one family. Imagine one family having 600 members! Then there was another check on a family of four or more generations of 1200 persons. Well in a family of that many, I should think something would run it it! * * i you have a problem Like my new hair do Just teke it te Donald’s He'll fix it for you. My flat top’s the thing He contends with this year Donald's tearing his hair He'll go crazy, | fear. * * 2 It’s real nice to be back among my friends again. Matter of fact I don’t ind the work, it's so nice. So from now. oa. And don’t forget, it'll be shop bop- ping time! Jaxon. advt.
