SOCIETY — PERSON. DOROTHY RAYMER, Society Editor Monday, March 23, 1953 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN SHOP HOPPING . Well this is the next to the last, week of the Lenten Season and mext Sunday is Palm Sunday. I like this time of the year down here in the sub-tropics better than any other. Easter Sunday al- ways dawns sunny and warm just the way it should, and up Nawth it’s liable to do anything. There are probably quite a few of you who can remember going all out for a sew spring outfit and then get up to a big blizzard or an angry rain storm. With Easter so close and Palm Sunday upon us, not much time’s left for shopping, so we’d better be about it: xe Twinkle, twinkle little star with variegated twinkle sheen yarns at the Yarn Shop at Southernmost Flowers and Gifts. There’s a long fringed Spanish Shawl there to use as @ pattern for making, and the shawl is for sale too. There is so more face yarn in new shades. Another new business at the yarn shop. . .lots and lots of beads for trimming on bags, beanies and sweaters. The wires are humming at Southernmost Flowers and Gifts ter Flower orders in early. Best selections come now. ik * Swanson Chicken prints a real good recipe that was worth pass- ing along in case you missed it. They claim 15 minutes is enough from start to finish of the cas- serole, but that is pushing it a mite too fast. I like mine bub- bling! Well first you open a can of Boned chicken or turkey (6 02.) and dice. Then combine chicken and juices in a 9 inch baking ‘dish with the contents of a 10% or. can of condensed cream of chicken soup.’ Mix in one cup diced celery, two teaspoons minc- ed onion, one half cup chopped walnuts, oae ha!f teaspoon salt, one fourth teaspoon pepper, one tablespoon lemon juice, three furth cup mayonnaise, and three chard cooked eggs sliced thin. Top with two cups crushed pota- to chips and bake in hot oven (450 degrees F.) about 15 minu- tes. I like it baked a little slower and a little longer. ee Meg We've talked about dresses and hats and bags; now we'll get right down to the very bot- tom of things and tell you about the beautiful Dr. Posner shoes for Spring at Ideal Togs. Besides the fact that a new spring outfit just isn’t complete with shoddy eld shoes, Dr. Pos- mer shoes are so good looking and they do so much for little feet. Your children will thank you later for foot health achiev- ed in childhood with Dr. Pos- ner‘s. The salesiadies at Ideal Togs are especially trained to fit your child with exactly the right Pos- mer Shoe and periodically a Dr. Posner representative visits the store to consult with parents on individual foot problems. Bring the kiddies in, They'll love the smart styles, you'll love the smart fit. Don't forget the Southernmost Easter Parade! Ideal Togs hes | the togs for it too! * * * Speaking of the Southernmost Easter Parade. . 1 sure hope you fre planning to enter your kiddie. | Plans‘are going op apace, and it mises to be a fine thing. The e-up will start at Bayview park ‘at exactly 1 p. m. on Easter Sun- day, and the only qualifications your kiddies must have is that/ + he.or she. must be under 12. There will be plenty of foiks on hand to Beparate the kids into age groups and there will be lots of prizes in the form of gift certificates. Also there will be free portraits of first prize winners and pictures of all entrants. For the half hour ng the parade there will entertainment in the band- and after there will be a for all partici- Sounds like a fine time - & 2 Been het these Wighin’ you had an air condi- fioner. . .or at the very least @ new fen!

Honey, that perfume | | light fog around the house and kills every bug in sight and out. And don’t forget. . .the man | in the poiple car who is also Mr. Sylvia Appliances is real busy between selling Electro- ; luxes, out collecting driftwood | for all of Sylvia’s customers. RR Ow Some people spend their whole lives just preparing for the mem- | ories they will leave when they die. There are those who want to leave something for humanity, | jand the vain foolish ones like Col. | Henry Wooldridge who was only interested in leaving a wood carv- ing group of his whole family in the Maplewood Cemetery in May- field, Kentucky. The good Colonel carved out! replicas of his mother and dad! and aunts and uncles and cou- sins, and even a few family pets. He, of course put himself on horseback. Then, ironically, he was the only one to come to his} final rest in the family plot. So} there he is like some Egyptian | prince, surrounded by the dead} images of those he loved in life, | and people come from miles around to see these things and marvel at a life so wasted on inanities. * xk * You and | have heard the old fallacy about permanent waves, and how no matter what the price they all come from the sa bottle. Well, Saturday at Donald's | found out that it really is a fallacy. You should see the bottles that Donald had! All full of different kinds of per- manent waving lotion too. Now- a-days you can shop for a per- manent like you’d shop for a dress, and Donald could co! up with about as many styles too. By actual count, there were twelve different waves there, and six of them were varieties of the Realistic wave of which 1 will speak later. First off | want to mention the very new Milk Wave that has just come to Key West via Donald‘s, It is a fine perman- ent wave with real powdered milk in the neutralizer, | don’t exactly know what powdered mile does for the hair, but milk baths are suppose to do plenty for the skin. Then, of course there is the Eska Protein Wave, exclusive in South Florida at Donald's. This is the wave that makes your hair exactly like naturally | curly . Of course, th the other bottles that cont: the Rayette, the double Lanolin that is nature’s own hair oil, j the Rocket Wave, the Encore Wave, the Helene Curtis, and th ther one, that comes in six delicious flavors: The Rea- listic Wave. Realistic has put out a wave for every kind of hair, and every pocketbook. There are six waves at six prices no less. The Frosti-wave that needs no extra treatments, The Profes- sional that contains Lanidol, Fashion’s Finest, the Bonding Wave and The Redywave. So when you're out shopping, shop for your permanent at Key West's first Permanent Wave Selon. . .Donald’s of course’ Se eS A salad with a Russian slant |made with canned julienne beets | Mix the juices of a lemon and the grated rind of half a one with the beets.

It's a case of scent worth millions of dollars. Kurt Loesch, whose wife, well- known artist, Rose Loesch re- cently exhibited her work at East Martello Gallery in Key West, probably knows as much about the perfume industry as any man in the United States. A slender compact man with graying hair and ‘neatly clipped moustache who still retains something of the Continental manner himself, he is one of the consultants for Len- theric Perfumes, one of the most famous of international concerns. He lives in Miami now but visits Key West and friends Dr. and Mrs. Harold Reilly here. Mrs. Leesch is a familiar figure in Key West streets these days while she transfers Key West atmosphere to canves. Her husband was an expert in transforming “atmosphere” and putting it into fancy crystal fal- cons and delightful bottles in the art of “parfumeri.” Kurt Loesch was born in Saxony, ,Germany. Most of his clan to go into the aromatic bus- iness line. It all came about after he took a degree in pharmacy, which is akin to forms of chem- istry and involves the field of bo- tany, two requirements for a “parfumier.” Before World War I, in 1914, Loesch became associated with a perfume houses in his native and dealt with French manufacturers. He finally be- came a top man in manufactur- ing operations of the-old estab- lished firm, Houbigant. When ‘Quelques Fleurs” and “Idyll” brands were first intro- mese means, “For the best meal or snack in Key West, go to the Sigsbee Snackery’ and you know friend: right. esn’t get thrown out on hi r right away, you will probably see a lot more of him out there.

Night! * 4 & A brand new interest has popped up for me these week ends, which brings up a favorite subject of mine. . we should have a sailing club here. I used think that sails were for the birds or something and should be lim ited to the kind spelled s-a-l-e-s a time when a sail, and we ran out of wind. The captain be- ing strictly a sail-man wouldn't e deisels and we were to Donaid’s Wave hair beauty. * Hope and sa t these are some See Luv, Jaxon. advt a@round then people were mer-| | chants, and he was the first of the duced, Loesch helped put the pro- {duct in the public eye, or rather ‘the public nose, Before World War I, there were only a few | standard perfumes used widely-in | America. Of course, eau de Co- |longne, eau de tolette and mild | lotions were in use, but not un- \til after World War I did the average American woman be- }come perfume conscious in the {complicated scale played on the olofactory nerves. Simple floral | “odors” were the most used: | violet, lilac, rose and the like. Doughboys who came back from | France with more expensive per- | fume gifts were largely instru- mental in introducing the art of | ‘smelling pretty” in a more in- dividual way, Loesch said. | An army may not be thought of as the avantgarde of luxuries, but remember that the Crusaders first brought aromatic oils and priceless tinctures back to Europe after those excursions against the |Eastern Infidels. Since bathtubs |were not invented, the disquising perfume must have been almost welcome addition to court ladies and court dandies. The poor vas- sals, of course, just had to be resigned to fate and calloused nostrils. Shakespeare referred to | “Perfumes of Araby” in his hand- | washing scene in Macbeth. That’s {just one literary atlusion about ithe delightful illusion of being, a | lilly-of-the-valley or a sprig of |apple blossom. All the glamor, and the glow- ing terms of modern perfume advertising stimulates the ima- gination. To get down to the rea- listie facts, Loesch pointed; out that perfume bases of raw mater- ials are made of strange and very unromantic items. Fixa- tives used to retain the most deli- cate ‘‘odeur” may be a hunk of material tossed up by a whale. If the monster swallows some- thing which gives him indiges- tion for example, his system forms a protective layer of en- |casing ambergris which is final- \ly ejected. There is no record but lit wouldn’t be surprising to learn |that Jonah might have been so encased. Other fixatives are ex- tracted from animals: civit, musk and castorium among them. These raw materials bind com- ‘bined ingredients and slow up evaporation. very best perfumes and cost from three to five hundred dol- |lars an ounce, Loesch stated. Some of the essential oils are extracted from lowly roots or the bark or leaf of a plant. Flower petals are of course also used, but it takes tons of roses, for example, which must be pressed junder temendous weight to pro- jduce a very small and potent | concentration of Attar or Roses, Bulgaria’s chief perfume oil. | Synthetic concoctions and com- jbinations have been tested and |mixed to create net only seem- \ingly true flower scents but ima- ‘ginative and individual blends. |Lowly coal tar by-products are jutilized for some, so the perfume | + |game is something like that old | it’s real nice to take the short |parlor game of questions and | answers is it animal, mineral or vegetable? Blends of various materials are’ used to create special scents which may indicate a personali- ty a mood, as for example “Tweed,” a Lentheric perfume, which has, as Loesch explained, universal appeal but is a typical American out-door per- fume.” He ought to know. . .it was one of his first imaginative introductions. He described “Con- fetti” as a scent for the holiday mood. “Shanghai? was made for the European market but was adapted from an exotic Chinese favorite Said he, “Perfumes come aa gradually. First you have to have an idea. You do a little day- dreaming.

Spanish Classes To Have Exams On Thursday, Friday Final Spanish examinations for this year, will be held this week for different groups of adult stu- dents instructed by Miss Benildes Remond, at the San Carlos Ins- titute.
