Woman’s Club Library Receives Gift Of $200 From Key West Rotary Club It was announced at the regular meeting of the Key West Wom- an’s Club, Tuesday afternoon, that the Library had received $200 from the Key West Rotary Club. The Woman’s Club is most grateful to the Rotary for interest in the Library. A set of reference books will be purchased with this fund. Mrs. Kirke, president, told mem- bers that the Youth Center at the Wesley House had received a gen- erous contribution from the Board of the Navy Charity Carnival. The Youth Center is a project of the Woman’s Club and apprecia- tion was expressed by a rising vote of thanks. Navy funds are used to provide directors and equipment for the Youth Center. It was decided to sponsor a girl at Girl’s State held each year in Tallahassee under the auspices of the American Legion Auxiliary. Mrs. Bernie C. Papy was nam- ed chairman of the second in a series of card parties and sweet sales to be held in the near future. The floral decorations, always of great interest to visitors, were by Mrs. Henry Sands using flowers from her own garden. An ar- rangment of the Bird of Paradise foliage and flowers was placed on the mantel. The tea table was centered with a low bowl contain- ing Queen Anne’s Lace and coral vine. Mrs. Clyde Brunson, Mrs. John Adams, and Mrs, J. A. Valdez were welcomed as new members. Feature of the delightful after- hoon was a special display. Mem- bers were enchanted by the Mar- fon K. Winter’s figurines display- ed at the meeting on Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Winter first made the miniatures for her daughter when she was a small child. This first series includes all the familiar Mother Goose characters from CONCH CHOWDER By RAYMER Party tonight at Vi Veidt’s and Betty French’s house is in honor of Betty Kline who will be mar Tied Saturday to Lt. (j. g.) Arthur James Stockslager. “Baby” Nils, Vi's Great Dane dog is getting “toothbrush” treatment for a skin ailment and will probably be re- legated to the Styx. The party is going to be on the lawn. I had to explain to Betty why I seem- ed off on a cloud the other day when she came in with announce- ment that the New York Times would have the story first. Some- times problems stack up until part of one’s mind drifts else- where. But we made powwow at! Aeropalms and I hope all’s swell now. Weddings get everyone in a dith- er. The Jeanne Navarro - Frank Bardecki one was fabulous, with about 700 guests. I never saw so many spring bonnets! I dusted off my bright vermillion feathered frou-frou to wear. Capt. William Truesdell took one look and said, | “This is Easter, not the Fourth of | duly.” But Mrs. Dan Navarro liked it, and so did Lt. Haskins ‘Little Boy Blue to Miss Muffet}(who resembles Sunny. Sundquist) and her tuffet. Ali Baba, Robin Hood, Raggedy Ann and Andy, Cinderella and Prince Charming are jong the legendary folk fon tes Land of Make Believe in this series. All of them are not much taller than an ordinary lead pencil and executed with the min- utest attention to detail. They are made of linen with faces hand- painted in oils. Also in the eollection are even smaller figurines made from wire and wrapped in silk. These tiny figures are about three inches tall and dressed exquisitely and com- pletely. A family group of these is displayed in the authentic re- production of an Early New Eng- land mansion, furnished with scale models of Early American furniture made by Sidney Burley for the Pendleton Collection. Another series represented the evolution of clothing from Pre- Stone Age thru 1100 AD. Each of | these figurines is dressed com-/| pletely and the costumes are the product of extensive study and re- seach, Each is authentic in de- tail and material, down to the a#hoes and jewelry. While Mrs. Wirtter’s collections have been shown throughout this country and abroad, they have never been displayed here before.- ‘The Woman's Club is grateful to Mrs. Winter for the opportunity to view her collection and to hear her description of each figure and the history of each model. and “Bumpers” Bjurback. Over at Aeropalms after the reception had much fun talking over the brilliant ceremony. The only time 1 was worried was when the in- cense swinger came down the aisle. I thought one little guest who poked her head out was going to be on the receiving end. The Navarros admit that they felt a bit like the cast for “Father of the Bride,” and Dan said he was trembling as he escorted his daughter to the altar. I had a little card with a baseball an-| nouncement on one side and/| “Compliments of Dan Navarro” on the other but I forgot to hand it to Frank. * j A kind lady sent me some! poetry, but I turned it over to our | editor since that is not in my do-! main.
