SOCIETY — PERSONALS — NEWS OF INTEREST TO DOROTHY RAYMER, Friday, April 10, 1953 SHOP HOPPING Friday again, are you already for the week-end? I'll bet you have something cool on the agen- da, whatever it is you've planned. Golly, summer has really arrived. 1 think yesterday was as hot as any day last summer. Swimming weather is really here. Eighty eight years ago yester- day, General Lee surrendered to General Grant. That has absolute- ly nothing to do with Monroe Coun- ty which never seceeded from the Union anyhow, even if it is the southernmost southern tip of the United States and all the rest of the solid south had voted them- selves independent of the rest of the country and Abe Lincoln in particular. So lets get this here now week end started, and lets go shopping first. Also let's do it early tomor- row. Clerks and customers alike ¢an get more than a little frazzl- ed in this kind of heat, and I'm starting to get nostalgic for dog- wood blossoms and violets peep- ing in lush cool grass. xx You'll enjoy @ shady porch more if it’s screened by the THE KEY WEST CITIZEN beautiful colored bougainvallae from Baldwin's. There is a pro- fusion of color there, and all are in bloom. It’s plantin’ time and given a good strong wire to grow on, you'll have a living screen of color to shade your best set- tin’ and rockin’ place this sum- mer. Also at Baldwin's nursery. . - big Traveler's Paims.. Guess they are called Traveler's Paims because the big fronds provide such delicious shade. But they shore are purty xk * Now that the season of cool salads is here again, a recipe for a ‘souffle salad just hit the spot the other day. It comes from An- nie of course, but it’s my own kitchen testing. Dissolve one package of lemon flavored gelatin in one cup of hot ‘water, add ore half cup cold water, ‘one to two ablespoons vinegar or lemon juice, Add one half cup mayonnaise and a little salt and’ pépper: Chill in an ice- cube tray in the freezing compart- ment until firm around the edge and soft in the center. Turn into a bowl and whip until fluffy. Annie says to go on as fancy dic- tates, but we fancied her sugges- tion of one half cup chopped cress and one and a half cups of fresh | orange sections, Pour into mold, chill until firm, and unmold on lettuce. *x* * Football squads, and lots of | other squads are going = inte spring training now.

They are exclusive at Mar-Ed, and ex- clusively yours, once you've seen them. You can see a beautiful ex- ample of Nani of Honolulu prints in that wonderful purple window featured this week-end at Mar- Ed. In the other window the pure silk pongee outfit with the hand painted flowers is also an ori- ginal by Nani. x kk I read somewhere’s that niney nine per cent of college girls use lip rouge. This is a study by some one or other who made a study of 5000 college students in forty- one universities. What I'm won- dering right now is about the one per cent. Is she. . .or they so beautiful that their mouths do not need emphasis? On the other hand, they are probably girls of charac- ter who aren’t afraid to be un- conventional. ee ee Childrne’s shops are always so full of fluffy dainty little things that the bigger boys are apt to be forgotten. Forgotten too in the men’s shops. They just can’t go running around pantiess, so Children’s Corner has made a big department for them.

Most of the guests, however, were not aware that it was Dr, Hamilton's natal day until they arrived. In- vitations were to view the new portraits of Dr. and Mrs. Hamilton. The paintings were done by in- ternationally famous - portrait! artist Julian Lamar of New York. The oils have been hung in the dining salon of the home and are in gold frames especially lighted. Mrs. Hamilton's likeness is done with wonderful brushwork accent- ing the lights of the hair and eyes and pointing up the blue velvet of the gown with such skill that the velvety texture seems touchable. Dr. Hamilton posed in full Chi- nese National Army uniform, tro- ical dress whites. He was chief medical officer in China for years. The portrait has all the dignity and distinction of his position plus the warmth of humanity in his character brought out by the painter’s craft. The Hamilton residence, famous for its authentic Chinese appoint- ments was decorated with lovely arrangements of white gladiolus. A high fidelity reproducing sys- tem permitted guests to enjoy classical music during the even- ing. The serving table had a center- piece of Easter theme with a huge basket of colored eggs do- minated by a perky rabbit and other colorful tokens of the sea- son. Fourteen varieties of import- ed cheese with crackers, Easter ham, freshly baked biscuits, a special bread, walnuts and olives, mixed nuts and burgundy punch were enjoyed by guests. Local B.P.W.

DAILY FOR WEEK OF APRIL 13th “Lady Marine” And Captain’s Son In “Our Town” Charlotte Pennington, statues- blonde who played the Cockney girl in “John Loves Mary,” is cast as Mrs. Webb, wife of the town’s newspaper editor and pub- lisher, in “Our Town,” players production. In the play, she is an easy going woman who has a yo- ung daughter of high school age and a boy, Wally, played by Mic- hael Andrews, Young Mitchael, by the by is a find in the juvenile field. He is what you call “a natural” for his part and is the youngest mem- ber of the cast. He's in the sev- enth grade in school. He has to wear old fashioned knee pants and have his hair combed in the 1901 style, but he still is a fine example of the all-American boy. Michael is the son of Capt. and Mrs. Charles H. Andrews. In mov- ing about on duty they have al- ways been interested in theatre work, and Michael is adept at upholding the family tradition. Mrs. Pennington bosses ‘‘Wal- ly” about good naturedly in the Play. Actually, she’s not the “‘bos- sy” type at all, but she does know about firm discipline for Charlotte was a member of the United Sta- “|tes Marine Corps in 1944. She was stationed in Washington, D.C. After discharge from the Marine Corps, she was married to Frank Pennington, Aviation Ordinance pei at Boca Chica. They have children but both Frank and Charlotte are active in the Players. Charlotte’s first interest in dra- ma was in Rhode Island when she played the part of Annabelle Humphrey in a musical comedy, “Happiness Ahead.” She was born in Teaneck, N. J. and after finishing school was employed at a hotel resort in Massachusetts Berkshires. Mrs. Pennington came to Key West about a year ago. She claims she has “aged some” since her role as the Cockney siren and thus is able to take the pat of a harried newspaperman’s le. The age process has to go into reverse in the case of Gail Pol- lock who enacts the part of a neighborhood child, Rebecca Gibbs. She is a Key West High School student but is supposed to be much younger than a “middle- teen-ager.” She says her first appearance was as a two pound baby in an incubator in a New York hospital, “Where I played to a capacity audience for two! fellowship program, Poinciana; Hall on Monday afternoon.
