SOCIETY — PERSONALS — NEWS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN ITEMS OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE DOROTHY RAYMER, Socic Monday, February 9, 1953 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Editor SHOP HOPPING JAXON I don’t know what they used for weather before February 9, 1891, but that is the date that the weath- er bureau was established anyhow. It must have been kinda fun to just go along day after day being sur- It also just occurred to me that sometimes Grandpaw’s rumatiz and Aunt Hattie’s corns were bet- ter weather profits than our own Sam. Sometimes that is. Of course when the season of the hurricane rolls around it’s mighty comforting to have the Navy out scouting these here now “flat” areas, but most other times the old fashioned folks could look up at the sky and pre- ~ dict a nor’easter any time. Well now, I feel something like a weather bureau myself. I can pre- dict the turn of-the wind and sniff out a sale any day. It always hap- pens too, Also I don’t blow hot or _ cold over these things. Let's see the Jaxon Bureau has on tap for tomorrow: x wk * According to ideal Togs it’s play time in baby land. It can be mighty comforting too, to have Junior well occupied when train of plastic. The Engine has @ smoke stack, and the smoke F sfrits ie you sit down and open your rac- ing program will be Phil lean- ing oh the bar (both elbows) eye- ing it VERY expectantly. You then order up the extra special delux Sigsburger, Twinburger, Monster Shrimp. This is known as warming up, and will make Phil really talk. This is when he tells you all he knows while Joe makes with the excell- ent culinary art. , ‘You open to the first race, with all this food in front of you of course. It is suggested that you refrain from eating before com- ing here, because besides being very excellent food which you won't want to miss, you will real- ly like it!

He may even tell you without ask- ing! Then, just as a sporting thing, ask him who will come in fifth too. Of course you aren’t betting on fourth or fifth, but just for the heck of it! Well after you've gone clear through the whole program with him, eaten your Sigsburger to the last delicious bite, go on out to the track, Now here’s the import- ant part. Buy a new program, and bet on the remaining three doggies! Play them across the board anyway you think best and these are the dogs that will come in. You can‘t miss! Then to show your appreciation to Phil, after the races, go back to the Sigsbee Snackéry for a midnight snack. You'll have loads of money to 5 A Psd Did you ever eat a truffle? I didn’t until the other day, and per- sonally I couldn’t tell it from the old fashioned mushroom. It’s migh- ty expensive though and for good reason. These really are mush- rooms. They go underground, and are brought to light by pigs taught to do the job. This is a new de- parture because this all occurs in France where they teach the pigs in French. Now I wonder if Ameri- can pigs could be taught to dig for truffles, and if they really grow around here. . So you see they are not grown on trees or bushes, and you pro- bably wouldn’t recognize one from a mushroom anyhow, except by the price tag that is! x * * Nylon being the King, Queen, | and the Crown Prince, the little workshop at the rear of the Southernmost Flowers and Gifts is right on the band wagon with all kinds of colors of nylon yarn for sweaters and other things.
