Not too many I'd guess as the Irish population of Key West seems as badly depleted as in Ireland itself. Well never you mind dearie, because today’s an- other day and the parade is over in New York and the little’ snakes in Erin can rest for another year without fear of the ghost of St. Patrick, Today is the date of the passing of the first pension act in 1818 and pensions have been going on ever since, although it’s a smart person who can live on one, and probably suffering from malnu- trition at that. Just so you won’t suffer for lack of anything, we've been out sopping again, and with Easter drawing so nigh, we have the latiest word on ladies fashions 50 come shopping, do! x * As anyone could tell you, suits lead the fashions in/ the Easter Parade in our Northern style centers, but in the sunny southland, Easter is deep inte Spring and suits are apt to be a little warm. However, Mar- Ed being ‘way out in front when it comes to smart buying, has found that there are suits for every clime, and the new suits 1 saw unpacked there yesterday will wear you well into summer right here in little old Key West without undo syffering from i heat. , These beavtifuily _ tailored suits are the new Tweedaleenes, and are the most beautiful shimmery air cooled cotton I’ve ever seen. They come in irre- descent plains that look like sharkskin, plaids and checks. The colors lovely too, frem prim muted shades to bright post's, All detailed and tailor- "e.a woot suit they are » resistant, fast color, and “re controlied.

S. began digging the Panama Canal and the Navy acquired the Midway Islands. Just think, less than 50 years ago, a trip by water to California was quite a piece up the road. Also, 50 years ago Carrie Na- tion was carrying on something terrible and was once again in j jail for wrecking saloons. Another saloon wrecker, the Mississippi reached a flood level of 19.8 feet at New Orleans which was a |brand new record. Wonder what it is now. The style news was that bloom- er trousers had replaced petti- coats for girls up to ten. They were cut very fuli and worn bag- gy over the knees. Welcome news for the ladies in those days of overdressing were the “new blouses with fastenings ‘directly down the front, unconcealed by pleats or frills. Just a few small round pearl buttons. . .think of the sensible comfort!” The fash- ion editor should take a look at ladies’ blouses now. . .no front! x * *® Clever people these Chinese! And they must have the world’s best eyesight too! These deduc- tions were made on seeing the dazzlingly beautiful carved Ivory fan from China and the carved mother of pear what- nots on the teakwood stands at the Ditty Box, The fan in particular holds the most gossamer and exqui- site artistry in the world.

Grown-ups tend to get too concerned over the teen-age pro- blem and something to keep their devlish little minds occupied, not stopping to think that same little minds have been busy de- veloping since babyhood. It’s a fine thing to take pride in your appearance. Makes you walk with your head real high when you know you look well. So when you're walking proudly ;you sure do have trouble plotting j;some low down scheme for mak- ling war on the neighbor’s kids. recom- i rhat's why an Easter Parade for ing led by Mrs. Robert Dopp of | the tads is such a wonderful idea, and folks around here should just cactly how much the mer- chants in this town are doing to make it a success.
