RAYMER, Society Editor nn ee ae Tuesday, March 17, 1953 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Page 5) Baby Shower-Card Party Given In Honor Of Mrs. William Spooner Mrs. William A.

Many lovely baby gifts were ar- ranged under the spreading wings of a large red and white stork caricature. After opening the “gifts, Mrs. Spooner expressed “most sincere thanks to all for the thoughtfulness, and especially to the hostess, Mrs. Ballou. A tasty well-planned lucheon was served. The menu included shrimp salad, buttered garden peas, sliced tomatoes, potato chips, hot rolls, tea with lime slices and was topped off by ice- cream. The handsome table set- ting was placed on an exquisite linen and cutwork emboridery cloth. After, luncheon the guests as- sembled in the livingroom which was. air-cooled by the ocean breeze, and rounded out the after- noon with a bridge party. : The winners of the games were Mrs. J. UH. Blinkhorn, Mrs. R. L. McComb and Mrs. Spooner, all receiving unusual and useful prizes. Guests besides the honoree and the hostess were Mrs. J. A. Flen- ner, Mrs. H. E. Isakson, Mrs. W. H. McClosky, Mrs. C. P. McMur- ray,-Mrs, W. J. Payne, Mrs, Me- Comb and Mrs. Blinkhorn. CONCH CHOWDER By RAYMER This is the time when they used to have the big St. Patrick’s Day parades in New York City with all the Irish cops marching along to tune§ that make you feel like jigging. But not oaly Sons and Daughters of Erin celebrate the Wearin’ of the Green. My usually austere grandfather who was Al- sation and Scotch-Irish (with a drop of* Chétokee) used to ap- pear wearing a battered claypipe wih a shamrock in tis. lapel and greet us at breakfast with a roll- ing, “Top o’ the Mornin’ to Yez.” And I was decked Out” like a prize pony in hugé green .ribbons in my braids. In the evening, the town turned out with a torchlight parade. . .and the odd thing was that not only Irishers, but Penn- sylvania Dutch (Germans) the Polish steelworkers, the Welsh coalminers, the Spanish factory workers, and ail the Chinese Jaundrymen, tossing strings of “ladyfingers” firecrackers en route, . joined the cavalcade. Grandma was the only one in the .family, who had the real right by | heritage to sport the bit of green, and she used to spend the day in the kitchen trying to teach the cdok, who was usually Czech, Po- lish or Serb, how to make mint}- sauce for the lamb and tint cake frosting pale green. Maybe the United Nations ought to adopt some similar notion. Except that vodka doesn’t mix too well with | Trish whiskey.

The Youth Center, which open- ed on March 15 last year, offers a well - rounded program of en- tertainment and craft work to youngsters from the 6th grade through high school.

More than 50 youngsters were present last week. The Advisory Council and the Woman’s Club wish to thank all those who have aided the Center during the past year; especially the U. S.

Maid’s Night Out By RAYMER “APACHE WAR SMOKE” at San Carlos Theatre Hand me down my tomahawk, and a_ horse blanket. Makum heap big smoke! For the type of adventure film this one is, it’s fair to middlin’ and sometimes better than average. The plot is more involved than most of the Westerns and there’s Gilbert Ro- land. Roland is an old timer in the movie business who used to play romantic roles. He still has plenty of dash and do. He re- sembles the Cisco Kid in this war-whooper but is able to es- tablish, or rather re-establish something of his old spark. Up and coming young actor Ro- bert Horton is fast becoming one of the more twinkling stars on the Hollywood horizon, He some- times plays villains, but is be- ginning to branch out into broad- er ‘roles. Gene Lockhart and Glenda Far- rell are also veterans of the screen. Bar! Ruick represents the younger generation with | charm.
