1 DOROTHY RAYMER, Monday, April 6, 1953 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN . Edi Page 5 SHOP HOPPING Today is a holiday all over town. All the kids are home from School, people are resting up from a hectic Easter and the Southern- most Easter Parade is all over. Sure hope you had a nice Easter, wmether it was ham, chicken or whatever. Hope you went to Chureb too! Did you know that this is the anniversary of the date of our entering World War I? Just 36 years ago today it was. Times still seem so troubled. You can’t tell whether we ave on the brink of Peace or War right now. With the kids, home from‘ school, you'll need k more to keep house, and so with that in mind, we went shopping again. as usual, Here's what we founds e co’. * A real cil portrait of yourself or a loved one is a treasure at any price. Now is the time to have one painted for your moth- er on mother’s day. You may a real Gerald Leake Por- trait too. Inquire at Southern- most Flowers and Gifts today where Gerald has his famous studio. You don’t even need to sit for a portrait, he will paint it from your favorite photograph. Now that Easter is past, Mrs. Key wants you to think about Mother’s day too. You may have delightful hand knits for crochet ed things made at the little workshop, or* come in and get your materials and instructions, and make them yourself. Time’s a‘wastin! ¥ M A new slant on a steak, that sounds quite impossible and goes against all the rules was advised by my friend Annie the other day. Being a fool for trying anything, i tried it, and surprise! Here tis: There are those who claim that saiting beef draws out all the juices. Others take with salting generously, “Line A Day” seals in the juice with salt. Make a este of one cup salt and 5 table- 8 cons water. Spread a 2” steak w.th the paste, thinly on one side acd one fourth inch thick on the other, Place on the broiler rack, thinly salted side down. Broil five to eight minutes. Turn. Spread top with more salt paste about one fourth inch thick. Broil five to eight minutes longer, depend- ing on how you like your steak. Scrape off salt coating before ser- ving. This is a steak! ie Now, I've seen = everything Patio slippers in straw! These aro the same smart Patio shoes you have been seeing at the Globe Store, only these are made of fine imported straw and they sure are cute! For Proms ahead. . .Globe is all ready! - Besides gold or silver sandals in high or tow heels, they have the white slippers in satin or linen that you can have dyed to match your gown. Then of course, the ever popular white shoes at all times. Have you seen the new face shoes in white, and all the styles in nylon mesh? 1 think the Globe Shoe Store has a color or style te suit any taste! In fact I've never seen so meny styles or colors in my Hfe as are arriving this season. The tiny two coler sandal with the star on the instep is still my favorite. it's the one describ- ed several Shop Hoppers ago.

If it’s your sweet tooth that is causing you trouble, according to the ads, you do have the right of way when you are hurrying | out to the Snackery for a Seal- test Ice Cream Soda or Sundae. The Snackery doesn’t use the regular kind of dishes to serve theirs in. A Junior sundae is served in an old fashioned sauce dish, but just ask for a regular and you get a whole soup dish heaped up with that velvety, smooth Sealtest Ice Cream and that rich syrup and crunchy nuts. Of course you won‘t be able to see all this for the heap of whip- ped cream that covers all, but you can guess what's there any- how. xk * Been wondering just what was happening 50 years ago? Well ac- cording to the Journal, the Ger- man Kaiser announced in April, 1903: “I am Emperor by an im- mutable decree of God.” I just finished a wonderful his- torical novel, “Desiree’’ by An- nemarie Selinko, that gives a mar- velous picture of the life and times of Napoleon Bonapart. He too thought he was chosen by God and all creation to be Emperor! of the World. Then departing from Emperors} I liked the author's note at the very end: “This book is based on history, but like every novel it has its own/ reality. In a few incidents I have departed from history because I am persuaded that history is not| always recorded to the last de- tail. In the light of my own in-| terpretation of the characters and of their reactions, I for one, have chosen to believe that what might have happened did happen.” That's the kind of book I like to read! Recommended Shop Hop- ping reading for this or any other month. The Gone With The Wind of 1953! x* With Easter Vacation upon us, the season for summer vaca- tions has begun in earnest. The weather man has already been howing his teeth and blowing a very warm breath our way, and the days for Key Westers to in- vade their own beaches is really here. So if you go to Ideal Togs, you'll find that the high shelves are already stocked with row on row, and pile on pile of beau- tiful bathing suits for the: tiny enes clear through the, Junior teens in size sixteen. A nice idea lve found, if Mamma is young and slim, you can often match your suit to daughters in the Catalina suits. These sunny week-ends, you'll find Gail, Ca- thy, and old Jaxon cavorting around in identical navy bive cotton crepe C. inas, sizes six- teen, fourteen, and twelve. Ideal is also stocked right up te the eyebrow: with all kinds of play clothes for the kiddies, These adorable little togs with the rumba ruffies in cotton crepe are rampant around the place in cuter styles than ever, and the slim little shorts and smart tops | are mew and reasonable. it's time to get out of hot dresses, and into shorts and bathing suits again, and aren't we all gladt Ce eed |: Things like this happen to just jordinary mothers too: On April! 21, Queen Elizabeth will be 27} years old.

Instead of the low tables which were in the room be- fore, new ones at a comfortable level have been made part of the furnishing. A luxurious lounge runs all the way round the rim of the room. It is done in coral as are some of the matching chairs. Bar stools and other chairs are finished in citron yel- low which is a nice contrast with the touches of palm green on the/ overhead beams. Seating capacity is doubled. A soothing green is also used} for the walls. Indirect lighting runs like a frieze around the top of walls and can be controlled to various shades of brightness. tering to complexions, ladies will be happy to note. A free-form shadow box. also shields another indirect light on the wall just inside the entrance. Host Ledr. Cedric Chapman who is to be commended for the re- novations jokingly says this fix- ture was inspired by the hip bone of a dinosaur. Actually, the uni- que design is compatible with the over-all moaern decor. Along the wall which edges ‘the outside patio; a rich drape in beige, and bronze with flecks of metallic gold gives the effect of intimacy much desired in a cock- tail lounge. ‘ Flower arrangements of purple bougainvillea at the entrance and huge fans of gladiolus at strategic Points enhanced the glamorous opening. Mrs. Cedrie Chapman can take a bow for her ability in | this line. Compliments are also do Mr. and Mrs. Roy Dank of the Ft. Taylor staff who worked dili- gently to bring the affair up to peak. The party began with serving of cocktails and highballs to the swarm of guests. After 8:30 p. m., most of those attending remained for dinner and the overflow ex- tended into the main inside, rooms as well as the outside patio where dancing was enjoyed until‘1 a. m. estra. . The new decor has given the club warmth and __ liveliness which is an asset to Ft. Taylor Officers’ Club and those who uti- lize it as a focal point for social activity in Key West.

However, she is able to adapt herself to any role she under- takes. One time she had to as- Sume an accent as a_ hillbilly. She was Aunt Dicey in a one act play given at the Barn Theatre. Gertrude had an interest in the theatre at an early age. When |She was 17 she was rehearsing for a musical comedy, “College Cap- jets,” when she met Richard |Splaine. They eloped to Green- | wich, Conn., and have been mar- ried for 24 years. They have two girls and a month ago, became grandparents to a granddaughter. Allergy to dust and smoke drove the Splaines away from industrial | centers and they moved to Mel- |borne, Fla, It turned out to be an ideal spot for fly fishing. Says Gertrude, “Dick and I were the first to pioneer with fly rods in salt water in that section | and found it quite successful for big salt water trout (eakfish).
