‘ * geome exotic fibres all over. SOCIETY — PERS DOROTHY RAYMER, Society Editor SHOP HOPPING Here goes February! Today is the anniversary of the first meet- ing of the first Confederate Con- ss in 1861. Yesterday, of the leath of Woodrow Wilson in 1924, and tomorrow, of the Indian Mas- sacres in Maine in 1692, That takes care of anniversaries, of which February is full. There’s something in this balmy sweet air now-adays that seems to sniff of Spring. Now I don’t mean to get ahead of myself, but don’t jou feel it too, and aren’t you a ttle tired of those old winter things? Well, let’s go shopping! There’s nothing that peps the little woman up quite as much as a little shopping spree. * x *& The new slogan at Mar-Ed Dress Shop these days at the mew location is “Bottoms Up,” and bottoms are tops when they're White Stag original sail- eloth fogs that are washable, wearable, wonderful.

You could buildie whole ward- robe-around the White Stag sail- cloth fun items, ewe ke Ever hear of a chocolate-coco- nut pie shell? Iodidn’t either, and then we had it, filled with ice- cream, and iet the calories fall where they might! Well if you are a thin little girl you may have a large sized piece and here it is: Melt together two squares of choco- late and two tablespoons of butter or margarine over boiling water. Mix two tablespoons hot milk and two thirds cup of confectioners sugar, Add to the hot chocolate and stir well. Then put one and one half cups shredded coconut through the food chopper so it comes out fine as anything, or if you are grating it fresh be sure and use the finest grater. Mix with the chocolate and spread on | the bottom and sides of a pie| plate. Chill well, cut the same tri- angles for pie, and fill with ice cream, your favorite flavor. x * You'd never expect to find such a thing at a gift shop, but Ditty | Box has some large straw hats of the coolie type that will go to | many a cocktail party. Ut was love at first sight when 1 spotted the large black one of milan straw, all shaggy with The kiddies aren't forgotten either at Ditty Box. It’s a bag, but it’s also a charming dutch dolly of straw with @ zipper in her full skirt te make the bag part. There are other beautiful bags at this nice shop, and sur- prisingly low priced too. Ditty Box is conveniently located only one block off Truman Ave. on Duval Street. x * * Here I've been reading the story of Cinderella since way back when, read it to my daughter, and heard | some quite fantastic Cinderella | stories. But did you know that the | first one was Nitokris, Queen of the | story I’ve been reading and hear- ing for so long. 0 elt ie oe We're always glad to hear of new businesses in Key West, so we were delighted to visit Reid’s new Beauty Salon over in the La Concha Hotel on Fleming St. It is a charming place with in- teresting decor of bamboo and old Chinese vases in a Chinese modern setting. And that ain’t all. . .Mr. Reid is a talented hair stylist of much experience from New York and Miami, and his charming wife, who is by the way a Key Wester, and sister of Mrs. Ralph Dickson and Virginia Mock of the Beachcomber was formerly owner of the “Miracle Beauty Salon” on Miracle Mile in Coral Gables. We are happy, to welcome the Reids to Key West and are glad they’ve decided to come home. xk * I read a book recently by a won- derful Chinese lady, Chiang Yee, called “A Chinese Childhood.” I was particularly impressed by the trouble her Aunt went to to stay ; youthful looking. Now I haven't tried this, so I’m not recommend- ing it, but if any of my readers are interested, let me know how |, it comes out. First you wash your face with the white of egg to keep the flesh tender. ‘Then every night at bedtime for two weeks, you ap- ply a gelatinous paste made from boiling down four big fresh pigs knuckles, to your skin. The book says the results are fantastic and that at the end of two weeks there won’t be a wrinkle left in your face. However I also noted that in spite of the Herculean efforts of the lady who used the above, she could not hold a husband. As I said, if any of you are brave enough to try, this, let me know how you come out. xk *& This column is certainly get- ting the business. . .new ones that is. Opening soon on lower Duval Street will be rand new Cocktail Lounge. Everyone re- members the La Conga for it’s wonderful entertainment , back when its owner was hale and hearty. Now it has been trans- ferred to new owners who are going to bring back the type of entertainment you have shown you want in Key West. The new opening date is not certain, but it’s for sure that it will be a favorite spot in Key jel Monte, the will be on hand to see that everyone is happy, the decora- tions will be new, the drinks will be the best, the entertainment More so. . .tis rumored little wooden head will be there. . .and | for one am looking forward to the time. The club will henceforth be known as “La Conga Celebrity Club’ and you can look fer ‘em right there. See you at the Cele- brity Club kids. . sometime next week, | think. x *& * Fifty years ago, my favorite magazine the Journal reached a big milestone. . .one million paid copies. You can bet your last dime in the piggy bank it’s many more millions now. In that copy, the Lady from Phi- ladelphia said that a ‘Chaperone shall accompany engaged couples when traveling, at the theater at night and at large dances. At matinees and when driving in an open carriage they may be unat- tended.” We often wonder just how, people managed to get engaged then. Also advice on how to keep the hair in good condition. . .‘It should be brushed nightly, massaged once a week, and shampooed once a month.” Shades of my favorite |beauty parlor! Fashion note from 50 years ago: “Stiff rustling skirts are now most undesirable as everything shoula be soft and fall loosely and care- lessly.” CAPTAIN CROWNS QUEEN. — Miss Barbara Taylor smiles prettily as Captain A.

One may make any family dinner menu a festive occasion for guests by simply adding a separ- ate course of appetizers. Such a course is the custom in many for- eign countries. There are two’ essentials which canapes. First, let it be just an appetizer. Second, if it is to be a cold dish, let it be very cold; if hot, very hot. Star Canape Spread small star-shaped pieces of toast with-chicken liver paste. Garnish each point with a small rosette of green pepper butter. Watercress Canape Cut bread in fancy shapes, soft- en butter and blend with it finely chopped watercress. Spread over bread and put a border of it around the edge, using a pastry tube. In the center place a small sprig of watercress. Chill well before serv- ing. . RAISIN STICKS Pastry Seedless raisins 1 teaspoon cinnamon 4 tablespoon sugar Make pastry using 3-4 cup flour, 1-4 cup shortening, salt and 2 tablespoon water.

Sift a little sugar on top and cut crosswise in strips 3-4 inch wide. Put a bit of butte on each stick and bake in an oven 450-500 degrees until brown. ‘5 TALS — NEWS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN DIAL: Citizen Office, 2.5662 Wednesday, February 4, 1953 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN . Key West Players New Production Opens February 12 It was disclosed at the regular monthly business meeting of the Key West Players on Monday night at the Barn Theatre that Maida Lazarovici would not be able to direct the next production, and that perhaps another play than the one deicided upon would have to be done to suit the new director, who is yet to be chosen. Those interested were asked to watch for any announcement of readings for the next production which will be held as soon as pos- sible, and to come out for these readings. “The Bat” will open on Thurs- day evening February 12th and will run continously through February 19th.
