DOROTHY RAYMER, Society Editor Monday, June 15, 1953 WITH ” Well hello there! It's been four | Jong weeks since we took your,than favorably for little old Cayo little hot hand and guided you!Hueso. round Conch Town on a shopping Spree and it seems much, much Jonger. 1 didn’t believe it could be possible that I could miss any- thing as much as Duval: Street in the morning, the sunny . . .or the rainy skies. ; The white beaches and the green waters, the starlit quiet nights, the funny little streets and everything that is Key West. In case you are wondering just what anniversary it is. . ‘I dunno either. The only thing I know is that it’s Monday June 15th, and it is the day that the Shop Hopper returned. to the Citizen and her favorite old town. So let’s go shop hopping, cause everything’s new! x * * It was real nice to pop into the Sigsbee Snackery this week- end. First and foremost of course there’s always Phil with the big grin and the ready wise crack, and serious Joe of the wonderful cooking. The girls ever there behind the counter are pretty cute too. But newest of all, 1 stepped out of the hot bright sunshine into a wonder- ful shadowy coolness that could only mean that something new had been added in the way of air conditioning. You might think you weren't very hungry after riding around or walking around in the heat, but that delightful Boolness, plus the yummy odors of cooking food, and a quick peek at someone's big gooey Sealtest Sundae will change your mind for you and you will hear from the inner man right a’ Those Sigbee kids are real good luck for me anyhow, and the first thing | did at the Snack- ery was touch Phil. . .just for luck ie more, Those ads are goofy anything, but a few of them at random are going to bring a national advertising ac- count along, so here’s bigwii the Snackery a béeg® Ki luck, be- x * It was a real nice vacation and rest I had, and I sure hope you don’t mind too much, I didn’t try too much cookery on the folks up home, thought maybe I'd get thrown out, but there was one chilled desert that looked yummy I just had to try it, and it proved to be so, and my popularity was in to stay, It was a caramel pecan pie. It contains Kraft caramels, melted, a gelatin base, and is made with whipped Carnation milk and pecans, all folded into a/ crispy pie shell of your own de- sign and served good and cold and jittery as a mold of jelly. I don’t have the space here to reprint it, but I’ve noticed ‘that it is included in a big full page ad in most na- tional magazines. There are other yummy deserts included too, all made from Kraft caramels, so if they are as good as the pie, my} family better brace itself for the deluge! 2: 2 Fellow traveler on the trip north was Hannah Baer of Ideal ‘Togs who going on a buy- ing trip. Well, she's back too, but some of the beautiful things she got while there have pre- ceeded her, and | can't wait to tell you about them. Remember when mother made you sit sedately and keep your skirts well below the knees? | don't know whether it w through @ yen for modesty or because underpanties were just underwear, but nevertheless, that must have been in the era When these things got the name - ef “unmentionables.” All is changed and Small fry an cavort, and handspring to their heart’s content, and tiny un- mentionables are as cute and at the same time modest as can be. | thought the rhumba ruffied panties that were sometimes don- ned as the only article of cloth. tng in Not weather were cute, but this trip of Mrs. Baer’ turned up something far cute the way ef panties. These are made by Mademoiselle of rayon tricot and come in twe styles. | with | Once is covered all over rosebuds and the ether Beautiful scotch plaid, bege Both hav: and are nice enough to be used as brief sunsuits. Better yet they | are only 7% each! 2:02 You've propbably heard ax Dusmen’s holidays, Well everytime + was in a store up north, I was busy comparing H with our Key West Shops. R seemed, Well I'm awfully THE KEY WEST CITIZEN inty edgings of lece, | Just couldn't help it, | lad to Page 5 say that things compared more Of course, differences in climate, and locality were appar- ent, but with the summer season approaching, there were many items that seemed to be popular everywhere, For one thing, except for name brands that are price controlled, children’s clothing can be purchased much cheaper here than in the Metropolitan areas of New York. So if you are planning to take a trip, or even move, an eye to the future will save you | quite a few pennies and dollars if you are foresighted enought to fill your needs here wisely. x* * There‘s something about eat- ing out in the open that mak everything taste so much bette: | However this is sometimes quite hard on Mom who has to pre- pare it and pack it and thne serve it away from the familiar kitchen surroundings. The answer to that, and with the most delicious food you ever tasted will be found in a trip to the Delicatessen department of the Gulfstream Food Store over on White Street where every opening door wafts an odor of bargequed chicken to the street that is almost too much to stand, especially along about 5 p. m. when you are good and hungry. Getting back to the picnic pro- blem. . .You can choose from the prepared chickens or baked hams or roast beef or pork. The potatoe salad is bland and full of tiny bits of fresh vegetables, eggs and mayonnaise. The cole staw is crispy and the baked beans are brown and delicious. Then there are those crusty rolls and the big cheese counters where you could please every member of the family. Just think, a trip to Gulf- stream, the addition of table- wai ind you can walk out. of the store with your picnic ready prepared to serve, and packed too! Need | say more? Of, course no picnic is com- plete without that big tubful of ice packed around frosty cans of Canadian Ace Beer. The label on the can says it’s extra strong, but it’s bland and flavorful too. Dry enough for 2 Gourmet, brewed as only the Canadian Ace people can brew it with pure sparkling well water that is so important to the finest brewers. Well gee whiz, let’s all go on a picnic! sate dete. Of course I accompanied mother on all her grocery shopping trips, and of course we always had our daily copies of the Key West Citi- zen to compare the prices too. | Well, all thes folks who do a lot |of complaining about the high cost of living around here should spend | just one good shopping trip in the metropolitan area. Of course, it is | to be expected that fruits and veg- etables are higher. After all, they | ‘have to be shipped a long long/ | ways, But I'll never be able to | understand why items like Crisco, | and other national brands that are packed and packaged in the New | England and Middle Atlantic states | can be shipped all the way to) Southern Florida and sold from/ five cents on up per item cheaper than right around their own locali- | ties. Well it’s for doggone sure true! | The papers up there broke out! jin a big rash of advertising cheap! | beef too. We saw sirloin steaks at} 59¢ the pound, We also investigat- jed same, Sure, they had them.} | Untrimmed they were, about four jounces of meat to twelve ounces of bone fat and gristle. I began! jto think those steers must have | spent their whole life just laying | around gathering waste. So we} bought a lovely trimmed steak for {9 a pound, and probably came ;out quite a bit ahead. This was in a super market, mind you Let's celebrate Thanksgiving around) here, right now! | Y 2.8 | Of course | couldn't walk down | Duval Street without running smack dab inte a sale the first thing, but this one is a hum dinger at 2 favorite ladies ap- parel store. it's Ketten King’s semi annual sale and will enly last until next Saturday. There's a big rack of dresses there sizes seven te twenty marked down te $46.99 each or twe for eleven doi- | lars, and anether rack of dresses sizes seven te twenty four and a half that ere seven ninety nine each or fwe for fifteen dollars. Some of these dresses sold fer as much es thirty dollars and are real bargains. This sale ign’? .enfining ite” to dresses either. There are fine garbardine shorts in all colors 95 cents, fruit of the loom blouses in checks or plains for 95 cents, and another blouse special: in- cluding the famous Ship’n Shore for just $1.98, Kotton King shops for you too, and when they had a chance to get satin lastex bathing suits at a. manufacturer's close out they were quick to snap it up. So here they are at the big sale in yummy colors and four styles for just $5.99. Smart gals will buy several, salt water and sun being what it is. Well we cant quit without at least mentioning one more item and that is the Pricilla seersuck- er brunchies for $3.99. They are really very attractive and will make Pa sit up and take notice when you serve breakfast wear- ing one of these. Better yet they wash like hankies and require no ironing Now if you are curious about other things on sale at Kotton King‘ like the pleated nylon half slips, go on in and look around. Remember next Saturday it will be all over! xk * * It gives you a weeklittle nostal- gic twinge when you see someone wearing a dress that looks exact- ly like one you saw the week be- fore in a Duval Street store, and you are 1800 miles away from Du- val Street. In fact I got more than a twinge one day on 46th street in New York City when I saw ahead of me, gliding majestically along, about 250 pounds of gal clad in an exact copy of my favorite Easter Dress! Four or five years ago, I felt as out of place as a Reverend at a poker game when I was up North with my Key West clothes. How- ever southern sytles are new in much favor with the folks, and gals who used to go shopping for dog- food in Ridgewood complete with white gloves are now baring their bosoms and backs to the pale chilly sunshine much earlier than even I would dare. Miami fashions are quite rampant on East Ridge- wood Avenue clear over to Macy’s fifth floor, and I’m most happy to report that we can save many dollars buying them here, x ewe Of course | couldn't go shop hopping without going over on Fleming Street to visit that nice Betty Ann Stationers, and it gave me many fine ideas for Father's Day shopping. That’s next Sun- day you know. A brand new line at Betty Ann is the Durand leatherette pro- duets. They are well displayed and in variety in the window, and | defy anyone to tell them from the embossed leather. Among the things there is a blot- ter set, waste paper basket, photo album, address book, scratch pad, portolio, diary, autograph book and other things. All these are in a variety of color and de- sign. Of course you will want a clever or even maybe a smoochie card for Dad too. So when you buy your gift, dont forget to look for a card. You might be inter- ested in the personalized printed tionery too, or maybe a fine Parker pen and pencil set. Never say thet Jaxon, and Betty Ann, haven't given you some very fine ideas for a gift te honor Dad. ek. Around here where the barn theatre and a few organizations furnish the only live shows, we all wander around somewhat to dif- ferent clubs looking for such en- tertainment. I dont know about you, but when I find an act I real- ly like, I can never see it too much, That is why I was so happy to see Angelina and Francisco in New York at one of the night clubs, and they seemed even happier to see me. I guess they like Key West pretty good, and their dancing is even better than I remembered. However, a gal I really who could be most anyone she wanted, Imagine my surprise, and a bit of my disappointment when | on arriving at the Citizen I found | a nice letter from Raveena, who is working in a club not too far) from my parent’s home. She says, in part, “Funny thing, but we sit around kibitzing and I get actually homesick for Key West. It's a crazy town, you either dislike it or love it and you can see which way I am, The fishing is miserable up| here, they think it is a big deal to |snag a catfish... . “The papers have been very nice and have given me some nice | quotes but yours is still my favor- ite writeup. I'm enclosing a recent ad and a chance to see if you iknow any of the kids working around here now. “My best regards to you and all my friends, hoping to see you soon, “Raveena” Well I hope to see her soon again too, and it looks as if we've [converted another Yankee into a Conch. It was a nice letter too and I'm sorry I didn't know she's Was there. =: ¢~ First greeting te the 5. >> better | liked | here in Key West was Raveena} ITEMS OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE Bon Voyage!

The screen version of Mar- garet Irwin’s novel is faithfully and beautifully done. The psycho- logical inferences are expertly in- serted. Here is the story of Good Queen Bess irom the time of her birth to the day she is to assume the throne. Jean Simmons, gray-eyed, red-haired, as was England's fiery and firm Queen, is much prettier than the first Elizabeth, but she not rely on Hollywood glamor for pa excellent interpretation of the le. The story opens with. her nurse and companion passing the night before the coronation with a mem- ber of the royal entourage (Cecil Kellaway in Elizabethian tights and jerkin) by telling him the in- timate details of Elizabeth's early life, her budding into womanhood, her first love, and the life in the turbuent reign of Henry VIII. The flashback continuity, once it is begun, continues uninterrupted. The little princess lived in the shadow of death. She saw her fath- er’s wives fall into disfavor; she knew which brought them to the chopping block. She learned at an early age that intrigue, suspicion, treachery and ambition, mere part of the court existence; and that above all, the sacred trust of ruler- ship must te maintained even though it meant the demise of those loyed. Stewart Granger, Admiral of the Royal Fleet in the movie, was her first infatuation. He, however, is in love with her step mother, Kath- erine Parr who was the one queen mother to otitlive the hot‘tempered, unpredictable Henry VIII. And so at an early age, Elizabeth learned that romance had its bitter sweet side. Her half-brother, Prince Edward, played by a fascinating youngster, was on the throne’ after the death of Henry. Edward and Elizabeth had grim childhood lives, but the humor is there, when both of Henry VIII's offspring emulate his bombastic temperament and ges- tures.

The Cobos motored to Miami where they will entrain for New Orleans, and there take one of the crack transcontinental trains for California. viously, he enjoys the roaring role. The pageant of the Elizabethian Age is all-absorbing; the acting leaves nothing to be desired. This is one of the top pictures of the year, in theme, presentation and production. The subtle implications that England's first queen began her dramatic reign with a broken heart after sending her first love to the block are handled with delicacy and more than a sem- blance of truth.
