SOCIETY — PERSONALS — NEWS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN DOROTHY RAYMER, Society Editor Monday, March 30, 1953 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Page 5 SHOP HOPPING WITH Yesterday was Palm Sunday, and also my sister’s birthday. So Happy Birthday Sis, even if you never do read Shop Hopper, being way up Nawth in Michigan. This is a new thing with her, Although she was born there, she just this year moved back to live. Says she loves it too, but Brrrrrrr! ‘Not for me! It even snows there, pardnuh! This is the beginning of the Holy Week of Lent and the Crux ef the whole Easter Season. It is @ time for solemnity and a time to take thought of serious things. Tomorrow also marks a Holy Day for the Jewish people from which our own religion sprang full bloom. It is the first day of the Passover. That is a holiday which provides a very fascinat- {mg study, and which you may} read about in the Book of Books, the Holy Bible. Of course you rea- lize that many of our stores will be closed tomorrow, so plan you shopping accordingly. Kt ® As you walk towards the back of the store at Ideal Togs, you can’t help but notice the big @eunter and stands there, of Easter Bonnets in profusion. All. sizes, all shapes, all colors, and some with matching bags. Vil bet there are hundreds! None the less, Mrs. Baer teils me that there are those who walk in who just can‘t find the right color, the right size, or the right shape! Which just goes to show you that people are funny. s, there are Easter hats for the little men too! Smart straw or fabric hats, Some brimmed, some visored, all cute as a but- ton. And don’t forget you can get gloves ‘here too. Littler girls on Easter morn- Ing are going to be singing, “*B tisket a taskit, with my little white Easter basket” when they see ‘what the bunny brought. You will be a very smart mamma if you provide the basket in the form of a midget copy of your own smart basket bag.

Well it’s a very fine idea, because that ds @ great favorite of mine. at I'd still like to know. There are a great many ways of preparing the ham for the bak- fag, I like mine a bit. sweet and bit sour, That's why I score . msert the bitey cloves, rub with mustard, sprinkle: generous- ly with brown sugar and pin on the pineapple slices. Then pour ever all a cup of sweet pickle ad and sprinkle on more wn sugar before setting in the even to bake. If my ham isn't already pre-cooked, I make sure it has been steamed almost done before doing all the above to it nd baking. Then it's less salty, and much more tender and juicy. kk ® Now aceérding to the boys at Bigsbee, and their fameus -(ahem) interpreter, Jaxon, the Prammis has come out with few gem of cbservation.

That my friends is a real treat. In fact, those characters out there with their friend the Frammis, have the best of ANY KIND. I get blamed for more things I never do. Thursday someone delivered a wall size birthday card to Phil at the Snackery who was celebrating his birthday, and tell me, who got blamed? The Shop Hopper of course, and darn it I didn’t even know it was his birthday! It’s a good thing too, because I could have fixed him up one much better than that. But Happy Birthday. anyhow? Phil, and a very belated one to Joe who had one a few days be- fore that.
