SOCIETY — PERSONALS — NEWS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN ITEMS OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE SUE JONES, Editor Monday, March 15, 1954 Still feeling a bit breathless from the birth of the first column. It was a most exciting experience and from now on, I really feel as # I should be called ‘(Newsprint Nellie.” It has been many years (whoa, Nellie — don’t give away your age) since I last had a proof reader's heavy, black pencil in hand. And what with “galleys” and “deadlines” (the time copy should be in — not I hope — the column) and “cuts” — I really feel thoroughly initiated. And so, thanks to the grand staff here for taking me by the hand and guid- ing me safely through the journa- listic mechanics involved. Now may I lead you via foot or steering wheel, whichever the ease may be, to the following Shops and I think you'll agree with me that the buys and bargains are really power-steered this Monday. Ei, Seed In all probability you have heard the words “high fidelity” — and might have mistakenly theught it referred to the high cost of living or some such thing. Now, by dropping into J. R. ‘Stowers’ Co, 533 Duval you can hear the remarkable difference between regular and high fideli- ty recording. As seeing is be- Heving — so hearing is convinc- The RCA Victor and the Wil- @ox-Gay “400 are both in stock at Stowers’ Co. However, I'll des- eribe the latter. It is encased in @ highly polished, all wood, a- eoustically compensated cabinet. And — glery of wonders — it plays and automatically changes as many as ten 12” records — twelve 10” — or any assortment of 10” and -12” of the same speed type. Glad to see a pho- mograph which eliminates that charging across the room ever 20 often te turn a platter. Reproduction by high fidelity le accomplished by a true bal- ance of sound between pick-up by recording and the actual per- formance — briefly, there is not ene vestige of distortion. You'll be astonished at the almost un- canny feeling of being at the ori- ginal presentation. A trip to Stowers Co. will show yeu how easy it is and how won- dertul to have happy hours of “Music You Want When You Want It.” xk ‘Then there is that very good friend of mine whose husband and father were slightly miffed over al- ways being referred to as “Alice’s busband” and “‘Alice’s father” — well, let’s go on the record as changing that — just once any- way — so — right now and in print, yet — “HENRY’S wife — Alice” — all this is, of course, lighter than air, ¥ MK Have you always wanted a chafing dish? and no one gave you one and you just felt it was a luxury? Well, the Gift House, corner Caroline and Simonton Streets has an absolutely terrific buy — stunning copper ones — four quart size — also in chrome for only $15.95! * % “Oddities in Nature” is the pro- vocative title of the Audubon Tour held tonight at 8:00 p. m. at the High School.

Unless you have, at one time or another, attended one of these lec- tures ‘and filmings — you can not possibly understand how marve- Jously entertaining they are and what an outstanding job the Soc- fety-has done in booking the more interesting guest speakers.

Well, once I explored the chin- chilla situation and discovered the only good thing about that would be if someone were to give me the coat. . Now, my curiosity is again churning. How much milk does one mouse give? How many mice do you have to catch? Aren’t cats un- friendly to this idea? On second thought, perhaps I’d better abandon the enterprise—just let it die a’born- ing — am Scared to’death of mice! But you dear readers are free to snap up this scheme. Please keep me posted as to its success — say ten per cent of the profits, eh? % wk: ak There is always something es- pecially stirring about seeing your little kids all “gussied up’ but the occasions of that first day of the school year and Eas- ter Sunday strike a bit deeper meaning. These thoughts crossed my mind as | turned into the Chil- dren’s Shop, on the corner of Fleming and Simonton. Believe it or not, but it was difficult not to get misty-eyed at the beautiful array of sweet filuffiness for small girl children. From the looks of the dresses, there will Easter time. be many tiny dolls parading at Easter time. Can‘t resist telling you about a few of the sizes from 1-3 that caught my eye. One was a white organdy miniature sun dress — edged with baby lace and hav- ing a pink eyelet organdy inset across the bodice, with a match- ing sun bonnet. In the window (startled the passers-by taking notes propped up against same) was a darling little blue swiss organdy confec- tion with ruffles and lace and a peek-a-boo underskirt. And, for the small master — little miniature coats and shorts with a grown-up styling, but still maintaining that boyish air. xk * overhears Joan de- should not have eaten. —please realize that there are no dead bodies on the premises.

Having heard the rumor that key limes are prac- tically non-existent now—I asked Mr. Baldwin—“how come, why?” and he ansWered “Water'’—the groves do not water all year around and limes need it con- stantly. * * * After the recent ‘‘calling in” of | the recreation boats, due to cur-| tailment of funds, several squad- Tons based here secured their own. Of course choosing just the right name was very important and so, contests were held.

If after fifteen years or so, you find the edges fraying—don’t be dismayed—and please don’t re- turn it to the Shop. Because you see—the repair is very simple. Just soak tapioca in water (re- gular—not minute) until a gluti ous mass is formed. Then wit! either a spatula or your dainty lily white fingers—spread it on the frayed edges. This acts like glue—shrinks the fibers and holds the ends together.
