Some- and a legal holiday for some folks because yesterday was George Washington’s birthday aud they didn’t get a chance to have a day off. Seems to be a funny thing for some folks to have a paid holiday. When John Doe’s birthday falls on Sunday or some other. day of the year like Christmas or Thanks- giving, he darn weil celebrates it on that, day. . .even as you or I. The main idea is just to stop a Moment in memory. Memory of whatever good George contribut- ed. to this country. I can pause Just as good on Sunday, how about you? Maybe I’m getting bitter, but I think the bossman deserves a break once in awhile and when someone gets ‘gypped out of a day off because the holiday falls on a non working day anyhow, he ought to be able to say, “tough luck, kid,” just once in every six years or so. (What am I saying? Well, the stores around town haven’t closed up just because a guy hacked off his old lady’s cherry tree, and 30 we went shop- ping.. Here’s what we found: x * *& In stopping by the Southern- most Flowers and Gifts Shop, a great long list of Easter orders. This may seem pretty far in ad- vance to you, but it’s a boon to the lady who has to order the flowers. Of course you may wait until Saturday night before Eas- ter, and you just may get flow- ers at that moment because she is a far sighted person and will be sure to have enough, but you darn well won't have a great big choice of the best flowers in the place. On the other hand, now is not too soon to start making some of your Baster finery and the Work Shop at Southernmost has the yarns with glitter, yarns for summer, stoles sweaters, dresses, hats. and: bags, i A smart knit dress in the new summer'yarn might be just what you are looking for Easter. Also for gifts there are those populer Argyle sets, bag bottoms, and the wherewithal to make all kinds of beautiful things. MLL), ake ® From the Swap Shop, some home, hints;» Ever have trouble with ‘sweaters ‘stretching? Wring- ing or even squeezing with the hands often causes stretching or- distortion, A better way to get rid of excess water is to lay the sweat- er in a colander and press the water out. Then roll it in a towel, unroll and dry flat. s &® * First you have to have an ap- petite and the capacity of e@ horse. Then you order a “Grind- er’ at the Sigsbee Snackery. In case you don’t know just what is a “Grinder,” it's Phil and Joe's answer to the Cuban Sand- wich, and it is also the biggest bunch of back talk seen these many gays and nights. When | was out there last week 1 was exposed to one and I don’t think I'll ever recover. | watch- ed Stell make mine, and nearly fainted, | didn’t know if she was going to hand it to me or hit me over the head with it. Here's how it’s made. First a loaf of Cuban bread is cut inte three parts, That's for three Grinders. Then it’s split open. That's the sandwich part. Then big thick hunks of Provolone cheese are laid on it, followed by fat slices ef hard salami. Over this you get sliced ham, then crispy let- tuce, and slices of tomato. Then the poises the shaker of hot pep- pers and tells you te say “when.” 1 like it geod and hot. Over this she pours the olive oil, eovers the thing with the top cover of bread and it’s all yours. Like | seid, it's the best darn sandwich | ever had, but it takes two big men and a boy to get way with just one. All this for , ee 8 H ently 50c too. If after all that you Another good one: Protect ad-/} feel like dessert, don’t forget that the biggest Sundaes in town ere also served at the Snackery. ‘Then of course there's always the Corn that Phil serves up free with every order. Don't forget now, on your way fe the dogs, stop by, and seve | eut S0c for a grinder te eat on | the way home. You'll need it! | ee | Once. columns ago in Conch Chowder Raymer paid me the @udious compliment of saying that 3 could do most anything and she} @xpected to see me up on the City Wa" bancin- Pt: Win stant @tock any day. \ 2 clock go longer silent, in fact every hour @ the hour | expect to see the; @re engines come charging out, and it’s just the dang clock bang- fg out the time. The point is, I q@ant to see credit given where qvedit is due. and gc on record @ say positively that I did not; one snuck up and did the deed while I was laid up with holes in the head, and I was just as sur- prised as you to see the old thing running again. It’s kind ‘of nice though to hear it chiming out over the City, and I’m glad it’s done. xe There’s a nasty rumor going around that we are soon to have another new business in town. A little Sherlocking proved that we sure are, and the local com- petition is liable to be some- thing to write about. This here now organization to be is a little old something called “Sylvia Appliances” and will be located at 1928 Flagler Ave. Sylvia intends to have here the finest appliances money an very large. Not only does the gal have some revolutionary ideas for the display of these appli- ances, but also for demonstrat- ing them. Not long from now, some energetic young salesman will call on you and leave a card from Sylvia Appliances. This card will carry’a list of any appliance. you could possibly ask for. They aren’t going to put the bee on you to buy, just leave the card. If there is any appli- ance at all you'd like to see, all you have to do is check it on the card and put it in the mail box. Your salesman will return in a few days and will cerry with him several different makes of this appliance, and you can shop right in your own home! Of course the retail store is on Flagler and you can surely go in the this is some handy way to do business. You know, | just got an idea. Maybe with this new way, Shop Hopping will change. Either we will be going out of business en- tirely, or we might be able to get the folks to bring the stuff out heré to the house for our expert viewing! Anyhow, I’m waiting anxiously for Sylvia Ap- pliances to open. . .which | think will happen sometime the end of this week, and | wish them all kinds of luck. A Sen, Wee If you’ve noticed any kind of new inspiration in this here now tome, I owe it all to Mr. Roberts who has been a friend indeed. He is the man who peddles those lovely new. Royal typewriters. When mine went on the bum recently he suggested an electric one, de- livered it for my free trial, and has allowed it to remain during my illness. Most of my Shop Hop- ping chores are still done right at home, on the Royal Electric no less, It’s a honey! x «x * According to Mona, “It’s real crazy, Mary” and that’s no lie! The new Le Conga Celebrity Club is what she’s talking about of course, and she should know! ¥f you ain‘t been there yet, you ain't lived, Mary. Mone set out to make this place a respectable joint, and the crowds prove that thet is what she’s done with it, Al- kali tke and Al Robinson have new material nightly, and you can ask them where they get it, Jack and Jill play old songs and new, in fact everything that you request. As Jill says, “if they know it they‘il play it, and if they don't know it they'll play it anyway.” The entertainment is continu- is up ous. Someone or other rail chinning with the customers. Of course Mona is always around to see that you have a good seat, good service and a fair deal, plus a Like she says, ” Mary.” * dresses on letters and packages from rain and snow. You can waterproof them by lightly rub- bing a piece of candle wax over the inked address, Smart folks these ones that think up these gim- micks. Well worth passing on too. (9:28 Nylon and the new synthetic fabrics notwithstanding, there's something about the smooth feel of silk against the skin that is seccee luxurious. It wears we! and still has an appearance all its own, That is why | was so delighted to see the Sa=Senm echoes at the Globe Now here ere shoes really fit for any Cinderella! They are es 1 said made of real silk shanting. beautifully embroidered with flowers. in two syles of sandals, high heeled and dainty, they come in bive, black or natural. Whats mere, they have begs te mew silk | | this the impression that the creator of the lithographs is a spiritual per- son possed of and by a profound imagination, without knowing the background of the artist. Many of the pictures have a Biblical infer- ence, some have the flavor of illus- trations out of the old family Bible. Others have the airy quality of fairytale scenes in favorite child- hood books. The combination is somewhat suggestive of William | Blake’s work, the poet who saw angels. Elvira: Reilly, program director for the Key West Art and Histori- cal Society which sponsored the | joist show, explained that Alice | Murphy had been a very sick per- son; that she faced death. . .and that for example, her lithograph “Fear,” was a subconscious image of what went through her mind when she believed that life was close to ending for her. “Fear,” shows a cowering sou} on the brink of a cliff. Below are spears and bayonets, just the tips of the weapons showing. . .and above is the gentle, reassuring, all-power- ful image of a figurehead. In “Cave of the Imagination,” another lonely figure sits on a bench while shadowy figures move about in light and dark. It is, as a great many of the others are, a personal interpretation of the mind in relation to a struggle for adjustment. At the risk of making too many comparisons, it occurs to me that these lithographs are somehow related to Gustave Dore’s magnificent engravings which were done in connection with illustrations for Dante’s “In- ferne” back in the last century. Her figures are more dreamlike, not so sculptored or exact, but the theme is similar. Famous lithographs in the show are “Interlude” owned by the Met- ropolitan Museum and ‘Magic Hour,” owned by the New York Public Library. This last one shows a group of little children listening to a story reader around a library table. “New Boots,” also with children as the focus of at- tention won first prize and the presentation prize of NAWA. Gen- tle humor and charm are evident in the personality of the litho- grapher. There are two others which are owned by the Library of Congress, both of them dealing with spiritual values. Even the Indian litho- graph, “Gate of Distance,” is in this category. The totem pole is indicative of the tribe’s history and of its legendary heroes who New Englanders Are Guests Of The Hudgins Mr. and Mrs. Robert T. Ley of Longmeadow,, Mass. visited Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hudgins of Sum- merland Key ov+r the weekend. Mr, Ley and Mr. Hudgins were at one time business associates in South America.

Hi Stu Alice Murphy’s Lithograph Exhibit Strikes Inspired Note In Imagination By DOROTHY RAYMER “The media of the lithograph has rarely been shown in Key West art shows. That, and the fact that the current one by Alice Murphy, now in its last week at East Martello Gallery, is excellent and in- spiring, brings a double treat to visitors to the gallery.

Maid’s ‘Night Out By RAYMER “AGAINST ALL FLAGS,” at the San Carlos Theatre The setting is the waters and the piraté-infested island of Mada- gascar. The time is 1700, one of the most swashbuckling periods in history. And that’s just fine for Errol Flynn, for when better swashbucklers swashbuckle, it will be after the Flying Flynn buckles from the screen, . .and that won’t be for a good many years. The cast sounds like a reunion in County Cork, treland. Flynn, of course, and the red-haired Mau- reen O’Hara, known as a lady pirate called “Spit Fire,” head the cast. There’s Anthony Quinn, Black Irisher who looks Spanish or Indian, or whatever nationality to which he is assigned. . .and finally Alice Kelley of the sloe- eyes and most provocative mouth since lipstick was invented. She plays a Chinese ‘princess! It’s Erin Go. Braough in adventure and in hues by Technicolor. The only time the scenery looks phony is out of the porthole of a galleon. Costumes have a real go with velvets and feathers and glitter- ing jewels. The rough-and-tumble, stab-and-thrust boys also have a wonderful time in all sorts of rows including a terrific marlin spike duel when Flynn grapples with the sailing mater. Considerable humor spices the drama which is sometimes top- heavy in dialogue. Laugh of the show is when Flynn says coyly, “I never have any trouble with women.” His pursuit in kissing bouts by the Chinese princess also bring hoots of delight from the audience. All in all, there’s nothing new about the plot, but it is exciting.
