~ SOCIETY — PERSONALS — NEWS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN ITEMS OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE DOROTHY RAYMER, Society Editor SHOP HOPPING TH JAX If you are very superstitious, you should have stood in bed all day. I’ve found that a lot of super- stitions have a lot of sense to them. For instance it’s bad luck to walk under a ladder. . I'll say it is, someone might drop a bucket of Paint on your noggin! It is also unlucky to light three cigarettes on a match. The best reason I could think up was that the last guy might burn his fingers, but I heard that it originated during @ shootin’ war when the guy hold- ing the lighted match too long made such a good target he gen- erally wound up on the business end of a bullet. Sounds real logical too. However I never could under- | stand how, it helps matters any when you're bragging a little and you knock wood. Someone is liable to holler ‘‘come in.” Also, throw- ing spilled salt over your left shoulder at the moon sounds a little zaney. You only have to clean ii ain, and besides maybe isn’t out. So much for suverstitions. Of course you can believe in making a wish on the first star you see in the evening. Wishes are fine things. . .if you go about trying to make them come true yourself! Also, tomorrow is St. Valentine’s Day. This is in honor of a very wonderful Saint, who always favor- ed lovers and their sad affairs, and tried to make their stories turn out happily ever after. Valen- tines are really love letters, and I hope no one is mean enough to send a comic one to hurt another’s feelings or unlucky enough to re- ceive one such Valentine. Let all yours be funny, but kind, or tender and sweet. Go shopping for a Valentine for a loved one, and then come shopping with me! RE BR People are all the time elect- Ing a Queen of this or a King of that, but the ones who thought up making Canadien Cheddar the and another with Caraway. All such wonderful cheeses. Stock up for the weekend, for hors d‘oeuvres, snacks, and lunches. °K * You can do a lot with the lowly sweet potato too. A recipe I found in Annie’s column was for a puree that turned out swell. Mash and beat the cooked potatoes until smooth. Beat in 2 or 3 tablespoons of butter, two of sugar, and a little cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. Add about one fourth cup of cream and beat and beat. Put in a casserole and bake about 30 minutes at 350 degrees F. Now I'll go Annie one better. King of Cheese really knew what they were talking about. | had a large chunk of it for lunch last night. . ene of those repul- | sive midnight’ snacks; don’t you know. . .and should have seen it disa ir. There must be the right kind of superlative to describe it, but | haven‘t found it yet. It’s creamy and smooth as silk, strong as Hercules, hot as @ vol- » ahd good, good, good! It came from the Gulf Stream Food Department Store’s big new from thi ment, I'm glad | tried the Cana- dian'Cheddar. It’s destined to be a big favorite in my family from now on. There they have cheeses from Argentina, Italy, Holland, Nor- way, Denmark, Switzerland, England, Canade, France, the United States and other places too numerous to mention. They have hundreds of varieties, with such tongue rolling names as Ca- Bel je, and Gru- yere. Yesterday | tried the Nor- wegian Karvi spiced with Curry, Make some of this up extra, so that you have a left over. Make a tender piecrust, and into the raw pieshell, pile a cup of the puree with two whole eggs beaten in. Add another cup of chopped pecans and sprinkle a brown sugar crumb crust on the top. This friends is a sweet potato pecan pie! x * & Mrs. Simmons over at the Children’s Corner being a moth- er herself, always has an eye out to saving work for all mam- mas. She really had this in mind when she got in the new short sets for boys and girls. The little boy’s Mon Togs are cunning sets in plains and checks that need no ironing and wash like a han- kie. There is also a cuiuning one that sports a beanie to match. Not forgetting the littlest tots is the one with the snap front and crotch for ea: ing. Then also in see a threecornered snap diaper set that has a proofed lining. For Sister, sizes four to four- teen They have smart concealed zip- pers that will launder, properly spaced belt loops, and are smart- ly styled in lovely colors. It’s getting nearer shorts time you know, and Children’s Corner is all\weady! & > x ke * Writing this Ann Delafield thing, and living close to it has made me quite salt conscious. Now I know that the human body needs salt, but there are quite a few people around who eat too much, ai fresh lemon juice is a good sub- stitute when you think you need more salt. Fish chowder even out of a can becomes real special with a dash of lemon. Lemon and salad go together like lemon and fish too. And I guess everyone knows what lemon does to a steaming cup of tea. Plumpies take notice! * Now this isn’t Honolulu, and Monroe Beach bears little resemblance to Waikiki, but I'll match our climate to theirs any day, and never were there biver skies fleecier clouds, greener or wavier palms anywhere. go so well around here. lounging you'll be delighted in the straight straight line and the long flowing sleeves that was sucha hit at the fashion shew. This one would make any gal look like a Manchu princess. If you are anywhere near the Mar-Ed Shop across from the La Concha Hotel, be sure te stop and look at that wonderful Noni dress in the window of pure silk shantung with the hand painted orchids on it, and the ékirt lined in deep purple. It’s a winner. On our beaches there cayld be | nothing cuter than the Hawalian type bathing suits. One twe piece ones, the sarongs are wen- derfull a* * They have so many gadgéts now to make life easier. For instance, from rubber slip covers for your doorknobs to save the walls, a new plastic squeezable honey bear that dispenses syrup or honey when you squeeze him. A pan slicker that smooths shortening on pans with- out mess or waste because the plunger forces grease into the brush. This is a fine twentieth ¢en- tury methinks. te ok There's one thing about heng- ing around a tree nursery, yeu sure do improve your vecabulery. Take Calamondin for instance. Until the other day | weuidn't have known whether it was @ new hairdo, an operation, some tropical fish, or whet have yeu. Now | know. it is a little fruit bearing tree, and mighty fice te have. The ones at the Baldwin Nur- sery are from three to eight feet tall and although ready for plant- ing already have fruit on tiem. The fruit is lime-sized end looks and peels like a tengerine. But oh! It’s so sour. Good theugh. Also goed for making fruif drinks and using anywhere thet @ lime would be good. Mrs. Baldwin shid that it alse makes wonderful perserves. Get a Calamendgin and grow your own jam! x * * It’s hard to believe it’s Fekruary when up North the icieles occa- sionally weep and the first Robin is news. However it doésn’t seem too unfamiliar when all the old time birthdates and anniversaries still hang around. How many can you count this month? * *& *& ve been hearing « let about contour sheets lately, they sure off, washes easily, and ne iren- ing is needed. Madé of white or fast pastel colors.

Drain Provincetown Art Exhibit Here Is Comprehensive Cross-Section BY DOROTHY RAYMER en heer and at times truly imaginative, the paintings which have -been on exhibit at East, Mar- tello Art Galléty are from a col- lection of work by members of the Provincetown Att Association. Pro- gram Director for the Key West Art, and Hiitorical Society, Elvira Reilly personally seleeted the ex- hibit. She siicceeded in getting a nice eross-seetion of the various sehools and trends of thoughts in gontemporary art. Among tlie modernists, Mary Ce- cil Allen's ‘Invocation By Means of T¥ees,” an oj in non-vehement colors convéys its message easily although it is an abstract. In the same field, but. with peacock shadés, Kenneth Campbell’s ab- stract of eyes, “The Watchers,” has a liké iptensity on ex- amination, although to the layman, at first glance, seems like a Persian print fabric designs.

Another boat study, (and it seems to me that many artists have a sort of beat obsession) is the ob- long ome by Edgar Corbridge: It has a stera discipline with heavy texture and i¢ done in cas¢in. I eg just visualize some Christ- mas card company grabbing up| Dorotliy Lake Gregory’s stained- glasé eff¢ét oil of “Christmas Eve On Cpe Cod,” with all the win- dows in rectangles, oblongs and squares of puré, bright colors. Al- most cubistie, too, is the unusual painting called ‘‘Methodist Church” an unorthodox treatment of the | boats rich and glowing still life with objects in aimed jux- taposition on a fold of material. The metal gleam end sheen of a round tray or plate has the illum- ination of a monk’s medieval work March Date Set For Red Cross Victory Dance Thé Red Cross Victory Dance to be celebrated at the Casa Marina on March 9, promises to be one of the season’s brightest social events. The Beta Sigma Phi soror- ity committee in charge held their itial planning meeting at the e of Sylvia Knight. Sub-committees appointed includ- ed tickets with Elizabeth Acheson in eharge; Ida Gellrich to handle the publicity; Sylvia Knight to ob- tain the entertainment; Virginia Whitmarsh, the door prizes, Jessie Michael will head the hostesses. for dancing under Gus Ayala’s and for an ancient book. This is pro- bably the most popular choice of the show, a ia Pushman. There is something Degas-like about Wallace Bassford’s portrait, “Barbara Pensive,”’ a head study of a willowy girl, with ash-blonde tresses piled high, and gowned in soft pink. Gayhearted, ligut, fanciful with the first impression of-an oriental painting is ‘‘Patzouaro,” a Mexi~ ean scene by Mab’ Pfeiffer who evidently has the most imaginative spark in a family of artists. Fritz Pfeiffer’s ‘Gaia Day,” semi-ab- stract of flags and* banners whip- pig in the breeze is also on the joyous pitch. Heinrich Pfeiffer, by contrast, seems to belong in the old school of English landscape artists with the idyllic: oil of “‘The Pool,” although he uses thick dabs of paint and much broken line techtiique so that one must stand at more than the average distance from the work to enjoy it. Hope Voorhees Pfeiffer reflects a Dali influence in her mood painting of a bare tree trunk after a hurri- cane. : For detailed draughtsmanship lovers there is the Byzantine-like black and white on scratch-board (thus combining the very modern medium with historical impact) work of Lillian Ames. It’s titled “Pegasus’ Wife” and therby hangs a legend. Chaim Gross’ “Side Street, Pro- vincetown,” has character, streng- th and unique perspectve. Unusual, too is the planned geometic swirl, curl and petitpoint effect of Ross Moffett’s “‘Autum Tapestry,”’ which at first glance is certain to recall a Currier and Ives print. Sol Wilson’s “The Beach,” is beautifully executed with darkling sky, tired men on a-derelict. piece Of wood. It possesses emotion. . . but is too highly glazed and it is necessary to view it sidewise un- i the painting is put in a slanted it. “Shoreline,” instantly _ conjures up a memory of Normandy and the Impressionists. It’s Bruce Mc- Kain’s work. Blurred lines are soothing in this instance. In sharp contrast is Blanche Lazzell’s “Pro- vincetown Lumber Wharf,” in harsh primary colors. If a buyer were given a choice it would be up to him to decide which paint- ing would be easier to live with. . . based of course on what kind of life the purchaser. leads. Bold black lines in La Force Bailey’s “Any Night,” deals with gain. Reeves Euler's still ears,” is green, gray and quiet. Others in the show with boats and water studies are Char- les Heinz, non-startling, and Joseph Kaplan who goes in for thudding black lines in ‘“‘Low Tide,” and a composition called ‘‘View of the Pamet River,” by Philip Malicoat.
