Down here it’s just another 20th of March and a darned hot one at that. What’s with this Key West? Guess I'll have to speak to Sam about it. The air-conditioning is certainly on the blink out at the weather bureau. In fact it’s too darned hot for all this shopping we are about to do. : eh. Sota if you want to go te Bunny Land. . .go on over to Chil- dren’s Corner and look at all the cute little bunny people who populate the window on Fiem- ing Street. They are all in a crowd there. . .bunnies and chicks and woggly tailed ducks. ‘The big show case is full of them too. Fuzzy and yellow, pink, blue, lavendar, red and ten shades of green. Some. are stuffed, some are soft live rubber. All have big gogly ey ind comical expres- sions. Some make noises, some are silent as can be, and some arecreally musical toys. The Easter Bunny. knows a- bout them too, and when Eas- ter’ comes around, if you say so, he. could leave one for your little one. Like | said, Bunny Land is at Children’s Corner, and an en- chanted land it is, too. x * * Griddle cakes are a versatile Jot. and favorites of everyone. For lunch try them like this: To two cups pancake mix add two cups milk and beat thoroughly. Add four slices of bacon chopped and fried real brown with the fat {then your cakes, won't stick and you meedn’t grease the griddle), two. pimentos, chopped and two a ns chooped onion, Bake § ypu.do griddlecakes, on a grid- dle. Serve with a cheese sauce. tahelt you want to convert it to a sacdepten dish, leave out the bacon -9: @mgl substitute two tablespoons sud manited, butter or margarine for ¢ bacon fat. $ mre x«* kk ° New’ | know it’s going on to- ‘wards Gaster vacation and the School year is about two thirds ‘ever, but don’t you ever think the kids won't still be using up plenty of notebooks, paper, pen- cils and ink and att the other things needed to umake up @ school day. Well now you have the cute new Betty Ann store, and Betty being not too far out of school herself knows tly what the needs will be, and better yet, she has them all in stock. Also, for school, home, or Of- fice, Betty Ann Stationers has every model of Schaeffer or Parker pen made.

Now I knew it was already five after the hour of one because I had just seen it at Western Union. “Hmmmmm” 1 thought. “Late already.” Then I looked up at it and it said one thirty-five. Now| I’m wondering if it was striking the hour wrong, or the half hour. 5 ik eg | Jean Resnick got the word | this week and hied herself off | to Miami to her favorite dress house, and came home loaded!

Cunning les in Nylon, lace and net, ch ¥, pressed pi- que, gingham, linen and every other material you could ima- gine. Sheers and plains, flow- ered, and pastel, every kind of material and style under the sun. Truly an Easter garden of dresses. The best news of all of course is for the big gals. Almost every single lovely dress | saw at Kotton King in sizes nine through eighteen, | saw dupli- cated in the famous half sizes. So you see you can wear any- thing the smaller gals can wear, and look well in it tor. That old saw about nothing but shirtwaist and = dressmaker styles for big girls is just an old saw after all. Another bit of news for the larger sizes is the big assort- ment of large size skirts and blouses at Kotton King.
