The big pot- tery turtie and all the little in- dividual ones are flat on their backs—just like the real ones ar- rive on the turtle boat—and look- ing very much surprised to be there. To go with them, there’s 2 “log” of fish dishes, “From Nets to You.” Mouthwatering recipes, cleverly written, and simple anough for a bride or bachelor, Set your table with hand-blocked mats with fish de- cor, of. colored rattan mats— these are eight for only $2.95— and ik wrought iron hurricane lamps. The lamps at Gift House are at home with Modern or Early American surroundings. With these art accessori your Key West fable will pro- vide enough conversation to last | through dinner. * * *€ Shrimp curry isn’t exactly a na-/ tive dish, but it’s close enough.

Fauste’s have Crosse and Blackwell, National Biscuit and Paradise—ali so good you needn't teil! * % *% Key West is a mixture of the old and the new, Spanish, Conch, and “stranger.” You can attend top-notch art shows, concerts, and Plays, or go to the other extreme! Christmas customs on the Island come from Spain, the Bahamas, and New London.

If you're like most of us, you're stuck with a depres- sing little list of people you gave those time-honored hose and hank- jes to last year. * H * For that particular junior Beau Brummel on your list nothing smarter than a Tommy Taylor suit, The Children’s Corner on Fleming Street has them for Iit- tle men, size 1, 2 and 3 with short pants. Very young men from 3 to 6 like long pants just like Dad’s, and Children’s Cor- ner has just lots of these in your favorite bives and browns. C durey shirts in rich colers ai tops with young men from 8 to 12. And they never have too many bright plaid flannel shirts to weer with their favorite bive jeans, (Girls like these, teo!) Sweaters make fine gifts for boy's of all ages, so Children’s Corner arranged to have a wide selection of colors and sizes up to 12, just in time for Christmas giving.
