SHOP HOPPING WITH Hello there, rei n.ce to be back. Besides many holes in the skull fell for ol’ debbil Flu and really wound up on my back. Can’t get much shopping done that way. Ever try it? Well, did you cross paths with any black cats on Friday the 13th, and if so, what hoppen? Nothing Til bet except that the next day was the 14th and you got at least one pretty valentine. Just like I said, it’s really nice being back, and without further ado,.we’d better get at shopping. T have some real odd things to tell you about, but we. shop every- where, So if we don’t make with the dresses and fine undies, just believe that there are other things in life just as. necessary. xk *k * 1f my senses can be trusted, and my reporting is true, one thing is for sure and that is that the big Gulfstream Anniversary Sale is going to go off with a bang. | walked into the preparations at the Gulfstream Food Department store over on White Street yesterday and there was Jimmy Muniz having him- self a high old time with the helium machine blowing up all~ kinds of balloons and setting them loose. Only he got much foo enthusiastic and every once Lilt gga ala eg ee go up with such a bang bog? it Th all the shelves of pas- ta pazoo to trembling, and the poor clerks were all suffering ttle fatigue. Well anyhow, Gulfstream is really growing up and their fourth birthday party starting today will be a real humdinger. Yeu see this anniversary also coincides. with Swift's Week, so the things to be given away are rectly. worth while. Just to cele- br-‘e four successful years, ae and Louis Muniz are giv- jay a beautiful big Delux Rey cst Bike, 10 Presto Pres- 8 + Cockers, 3 Universal Coffee N kers, and 25 Food Baskets be- s at) the: ‘other things like Sea iast Ice Cream sandwiches, Posi Cola, Lay’s Potatoe Chips, bt sum fruit. bars/and cookies, Street. Drawing for the stream Food Department Store on White Street and you do not heve to be present to win. 1 can’t forget to tell you about the cheese and baloney cutting contest either. They have some big pieces of that good Swift's baloney and the largest cheddar | cheese you ever saw. Both are simply delicious and you will want some of each, However you will have a chance to get one or both absolutely free. You cut off the size piece you want, and then guess. within ounces the exact weight. If you are near enough correct, you carty off the cheese or baloney | absoiviely free. If you are real | wrong, you only have to pay, for | +) it at the regular retail price. Sounds like a real nice way ‘to gamble to me. Beats the dog- | gies every time! ¢ 2 oe Every once in awhile you hear a voice that it is such pure joy to listen to, that you just want it to go on and on. That's the way 1} felt the other night when | walked into one of Key West's nicer cock- tail lounges and hearc this pure Irsh tener singing an old old song to the nostalgic strains of deck Hendrix’ wonderful Ham-; mond music, t The voice belonged to a young sailor who sat leaning on the bar, singing his very heart out. We found on inquiry that he is sta- toned aboarc a destroyer here for only a short while, and that he used to sing professionally in Chicago, and once, an engagement with Jack. So old friends were to} gether again and reminiscing down old memory lane in music, land. His name is Don Albans and | he goes often to where Jack is| playing, and .eans on the bar and; sings and sings. Fully as much | the pleasure of hearing him is the | Pleasure of watching As the beau tifal “goldey me 3 wears-a del ail woudrous amile*as if he can scarcely be- Weve that all that melody is com- ing from him. He is equally sur- prised and delighted at the ap | Plause. Don is one of the nicest Wisllors from the Navy to come te Key West in a long long time. We hope tae Navy brings him | back. . .soon, and when his Navy | days are over, that he will come; back and see us for a long long | while. Remember se" 1 went shopping at the Chil- dren‘s Corner and found those delightful cotton plisse bathing suits with the terry trim and the cute terry lined stoles? Well you liked. them too and Children’s | Corner had to re-order and re- | order again. ' I suppose some little boy’s mammas were very disappoint- | ed because they didn’t have the | matching sets for their little | boys. So Mrs. Simons went shopping too, and now, the matching cabana sets of the | Same navy cotton plisse with if terry trim are being displayed at the Children’s Corner along | with the girl’s sets. These are smart, and if. you have a boy as well as a little are doubly lucky, you may have both. | A brand new baby book for that brand new baby is the “Tat- tle Tales’ to be found at Chil- dren's Corner. This is a -new departure in’ baby books. It has a cover that can be wiped off when it gets soiled. Those silk and satin ones sure are pretty | to look at, but very much handling really turns them into a heap big mess. It makes a nice gift at $1.98, and one to be Busy Mothers sometimes forget to go out and get a baby book until it is so late that some of the precious records are forever lost. wk * Got an invalid at your house? Having the very deuce of a time finding appetizing food for him? Try rice pudding. I make it with left-over rice. Beat up one cup of milk with two eggs and one half cup of sugar and mix well with two cups of left over rice. Then add half cup of raisons, pour in a baking dish and spice liberally with cinnamon, Bake in a’ moder- ate oven until firm, serve cold with heavy cream. Good for sick folks, and good any old time. t OR, feet A To grow healthy children you have to feed them. So with your plants and trees. Of course you don’t shovel steaks and bacon and eggs at the bushes, but Baldwin‘s Nursery has the cor- rect kind of plant food to make your citrus trees and your hibi- cus sit right up and take notice of a lovely Key West World.

By the pound or the ton, all you need for all your needs, x« *& * In a magazine I found the de-/ finition of certain Florida words. ld like to take exception to one: It is “Conch” and is defined thus. “Conch from: th shell, is a deorgatory term for noor whites, particularly in the) tehaned Florida host or hostess. Pro-! nounced to rhyme with honk.” Whoever wrote that sure was | slightly off his rocker. I can't} nk of a thing or way of being I'd rather be than a Conch. Any | ve Key Wester around here is | proud to be known as a Conch, and | I've yet to see a poor one.
