SOCIETY — PERSONALS — NEWS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN ITEMS OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE SUE JONES, Editor Friday, March 26, 1954 THE The words ‘“Heave ho!”, “Dig in,” “Giddyap,” “Roll em” (movie not dice term) all are rousing calls to initiate endeavor of some sort or another — what echoing cry. could I use to start this column? I couldn’t very well use “Man the typewriter” — or “To the keys, kiddie” — or could 1? Truth of the matter is, my thoughts are still out there in the shops and teeming with prose for ali that I saw— so join me? ? ? 4» * While I’m still, munching this apple | swiped, (under their watchful eye), from the produce stalls at Fausto’s Food Palace, 522 Fleming, I'd better tell you about it. The shape is the same as the regular “Delicious” appl but this — the “granddaddy” — is about one-third the size — tiny, juicy and extraordin “delicious.” Perfect for the sma fry’s lunch box and an end to that “half-eaten” apple problem. Just to look at the nectarines, honey dew melons and plums, you would never know they ca all the way from South Americ: They didn’t look tired at all — on the contrary, they looked fresh and ripe and teats (yes, I swil a nectarine too). re great variety of fresh fruit included strawberries, pine- apples, bananas, tangarines, or- anges, grapefruit, apples (red and golden grimes), Calvao avo- cadoes, d‘Anjou pears — and yes, even “dillies.” Without climbing a tree or bush, you may take your pick of fresh, ripe fruit at Fausto’s. z For not too many pennies, you can enjoy that special “lift” hav- ing fresh cut flowers around never fails to give. Every Thurs- day, masses of fresh flowers tumble into Fausto’s. Huge shas- ta daises, small golden mums, sWeet peas, snapdragons, gladio- li, and deep hued asters which Maxine Lanassa says keep in water for a whole week, were the ones | saw yesterday. x kok Things were mighty weet ‘round here the other day wnen a box of Gifford's candy arrived addressed to “City Desk and Staff” from Deane and David Heller, free lance writers, whose eight-year old son came forth with a written treatise on Key West. They ap- preciated receipt of the article. Mucho gracias — to the Hellers. Wie ate Lowe’s Fish Company at 900 Caroline have all those fish you didn’t catch, but were all set to eat. Turtle is another excellent Lenten dish, and if you have never tried it — an excellent treat is in stor Lowe’s that is — for you! Have it tenderized —marinate in lime juice with salt, pepper and garlic for sev- eral hours — pitch in a greas- ed frying pan — truly marvelous. Remember, these are the big green sea turtle — a rare deli- cacy! Kako & Am sure learning many things! Margaret informed me that one of my columns had ninety three “em” dashes! Now, mother dida’t’ tell me just what an “em” dash was and I had always, rather naively I guess, figured that a dash is a dash is a —. Then I was further bewildered upon discovering that three per- iods “. . .” equalled one “em” dash, unless of course it was at the end of the sentence, and then you used four — “....”” — As you can see, weighty problems are en- countered in this business of writ- ing a column, x «* * Lan’s sakes — sure glad to see “Lanz” clothes again. At the Mar-Ed Dress Shop, 421-B Duval, there they were! Been many a y ile in Califor- nia as ter of since I had run across this dress label. This firm has a distinctive style to their dresses that seems to have eluded other designers. They started with a peasant mo- tif, but while they now utilize other designs, their knack for “neatness” and attention to de- tail is still there. Just “peachy” is the word for the pale, flower-sprigged peach Lanz. A tucked front, scooped neckline — tie belt of same ma- terial all help this number to give you that “‘cool’’ look on the warmest of days. Then, | saw a heavenly sunback — with hand hemstitching — square neckline with little bows marching down the front. The delicate stripe, with tiny posy — all made this Lanz look like “young romance.” Saw the perfect thing at Mar- Ed for that trip, A heavy black linen sunback blouse, with small, self-covered buttons and a bold plaid, controlled dirnd! skirt, KEY WEST CITIZEN with a soft, black linen belt. A tiny rhinestone heart is placed on one side of the belt. Smooth out- fit — Lanz, and not expensive either! ¥ %¥% MISLEADING INFORMATION: In Wednesday’s column, there might have been left the impres- sion that the Caroline Shop whips out to your house to cut out your slipcovers and then you are on your own, ‘Tain’t so — of course— as most of the gals know, when ordering slipcovers, labor is in- cluded in the overall estimate giv- en, but not many shops go out to take actual measurements. This the Caroline shop does and your saving comes in the amount of material used. In other words, you don’t have to order more goods than you actually need. And, don’t be scared away — it is all most inexpensive! * x * They say at the Adorable Beauty Salon at 924 Simonton new cut and hairdo. Sounds real interesting, so why not try it? KARE The urge to quote Pippa Passes seemed like rather a simple thing — after all it is a well-known verse and particularly identified with Spring. Oh brother, what a chain reaction I set off! First, I couldn’t remember the exact words, so I asked Jim for his Bartlett's Quotations — it had dis- appeared. Then, Sue said “it goes like — er — ah —”, After five minutes of watching her stare into space, I turned to Margaret who promptly said, ‘Just a minute and I'll write “it out for you.” Fifteen frazzled minutes later — and looking furtively at the clock, decided that 9:00 a. m. was not too, too early to phone friends. Called the Jamesons — no answer. Ditto for the Thielen number. Well, by jingo — Betty Garnett would know! So, I called her and she said, “My sister used to sing that all the time. Of course, I know it — it goes like — y’know, Jeannette, let me call you back.” Forty minutes — two cups of coffee and one doughnut later, re- ceived a message to call Betty. She was a darling about it all, but seems as if she couldn’t find Mr. Bartlett either and after racing around the house, searching mad- ly — she decided to phone Izzie Bowser to whom they had recently given their second copy of Mr. B’s Q’s. Finally — jackpot! The exact words came over the line and I copied them down with happy re- lief. Betty said she really didn’t mind all the trouble and was tick- led to have a chance to talk with Izzie, who had been out of town, And so, Pippa Passed! kk kk Really now — let's face it. Do you have ants in your — plants and house? You do! Go to Bald- win's Garden Store at 1101. Sim- onton Street and ask for a bag of “Chloradane Dust.” This will instantly take of the ant Problem. Sprinkle around your plants and around your house exits and pffttt — no more ants. Also, this Dust is excellent for worms in your lawi tell me your lawn is sans worms! Baldwin‘s home for “Chloradane Dust” the nemesis of ants and worms found on plants and in lawns. eae et. FASHION NOTE: Have you aoticed the new upside-down sun- glasses the girls are now wearing? The temple piece is on the bottom and it is a little jarring when you first see them. Quite sporty— Kk 5K O*% Easter is a festive time and your table will take on a new beauty with one of the lovely tablecloths found at Pioneer Fabrics Shop at 622 Duval. The first box | peered into contained an unsual chartreuse linen with white organdy Inset decorated with appliqued flowers in the same basic color. This comes in all sizes — “72 x 90,” “72 x 108” and “90 x 108,” and has a dozen matching napkins. If you prefer the classic white —a gorgeous pure M linen, hand embroidered with again, the inset idea of organdy embossed with linen applique—is breath- taking. This not only comes in all sizes, but in a seven-piece tea set, with 53’ square cloth and six napkins, and also a place setting Portugal also, it is an ideal ban- quet cloth, The heavy intri hand embroidery brings an air of elegance to your table. Any one of these tablecloths, or of the many others found at a happy gift for Mother at Eas: She'd be so thrilled, she wouldn't with runner set. Imported from | Page 3; even get upset about that spill- ed gravy — | betcha! kek let you? ? Have news for you — yes, you can! Saunt- er down to Arthur Murray's Dance Studio at 517% Duval Street (upstairs) and take ad- vantage of their special intro- ductory cffer of FOUR lessons for only $9.50. After you’ve master- ed Arthur Murray’s simple key step, your wallflower days will be over.! x *k * Twenty of Our Town’s loveliest and most charming ladies gathered at the Sun and Sand for the de- lightful luncheon given by Gladys Willing. The table ions were original and beautiful and taking home a hunk of the “false spen- geria” to root and grow added to the afternoon’s enjoyment. Gladys, darling — the cookies were deli- cious, but do you always bring your own — cookies, that is ? ? Such a wonderful idea! wok. ok Something about white jewelry has never sent me over the hori- zon rooting with joy, BUT at the Gift House across from the Post Office (diagnonally, that is) 1 broke precedent and went into raves and raptures over their summer white jewelry. Saw fabulous earrings —white, but beautifully done. In many in- stances a gold relief note was used, P. pink filiagree and Pearl earrings caught my eye— they come in pale blue and are lightweight and light looking. An- other earring, shaped like a clam had tiny pearls shooting off from it — dangle-like, but not droppy. Still in the summer white—a bow knot pin with matching earrings of fluted leaves. Yes indeed, tru- ly fell for this exquisite white jewelry, including the lovely necklaces Gold is where you find it and ! sure did — without the process of panning or going west —o. k. so this is Key WEST — The Gift House’s gold jewelry by Napier is stunning and strictly designed for that beeg evening out. Did you know that here at the Gift House you can not only find darling bridge prizes, but that they gift wrap them too? ? ? Saw a tiny silver umbrella bank with “Savi Rainy Day” that would make an attractive gift. Also, the silver pill box “Book of Health” was a novel thing. That Gift House is truly amaz- ing in that their items are so varied and yet so wonderful! wk Kw ok Don’t forget — TONIGHT is the time for the Jayshees Charity Dance and Fashion Show. Doings start at 9:00 p. m. — at the Casa Marina — so, let’s all have fun for a worthy cause. Many of Our Town's pretty lassies are the mo- dels! * * Just because income tax time is away far off in the future doesn’t mean that you can’t plan now so that the usually he time will be smooth and simple.

Your ren- tal property accounts will be so easy to keep with this new sys- tem.

Junior Class To Present Annual Variety Show Monday and Tuesday The Junior Class of Key West High School will present annual Variety Show on Monday and Tuesday nights school auditorium. Curtain time is 8:15. : The production is just what t he name implies — a variety show with songs, dancing, comedy, and a clever “take off’ on a Holly- their at the high wood night club. Act one features a scene in the park with Henry Cleare singing the popular “Stranger in Para- dise” and a soft shoe dance by Deanne DiPremo. In Act Two, the girls will appear in gunny sack costumes and it is title “Oh, We Gotta Get A Man!” It wouldn’t be Key West without a Conga Line, and a rumba. In this scene Lourdes Diaz will sing “Grenada,” and there is, believe it or not, a cock fight. Talented Gale Rae Varela is the featured | dance soloist. | “In the Good Old Nick of Tinie” | is a real old fashioned “meller drammer”’ and the cast of the skit includes all the usual characters right down to the constable and the villain. The “Cooka Cabana Club” in Hol- lywood is the scene of Act Three, and the Junior Class has been very fortunate in having Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis, Mitzi Gay- nor, Rita Hayworth, and Dick Hay- mes appear during this scene. (That’s what it says here.) It has been rumored that Ali Khan will bring along some harem girls, and Marilyn Monroe, Joe Di- maggio, and Judy Garland are said to have agreed to be here for the two nights of the show. The Jurfior Class admits frankly that the purpose of the Variety Show is to raise money for the Junior-Senior Prom, the Junior picnic, and looking forward to next year, the class hopes to have enough money left over to help pay for the gift that the Senior | class gives to the school. | The price of admission is small, | the show is well staged, and these | kids are clever. For a lot of fun/ and good entertainment be sure to | see the current edition of the Jun- | ior Variety Show. | Tickets can be purchased from | any .member of the Junior Class | or at the door either night of the | performance.
