SOCIETY — PERSONALS — NEWS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN ITEMS OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE SUE JONES, Editor Friday, May 7, 1954 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Want to wish all the mothers in Our Town the very best on Their Day! Sunday you should have your breakfast in bed — read the papers — leisurely dress for church — go out for dinner — visit with your friends and family — receive Don’t wash a dish — don’t mend —don’t pick up one thing — don’t vacuum — or rinse out socks — or mind the kids — hand the care of that infant over to Pop— ’ Oh, what a dreamer this jean- nette is! You mothers would pro- bably be completely lost with ab- solutely NOTHING to do all day! And too, many times it is impos, sible to take even one day away from household responsibilities, It’s still a happy thought— Zzeaeese This weekend, Fausto’s Food Palace, 522 Fleming is celebrat- ing its 29th birthday backwards —they’re giving presents to you! Free balloons to the kiddies — free pepsi-cola — free cup —bonus items with purchases— cheese contest — are just part of the “many happy returns” for you — plus the tremendous amount of money you save on their foodstuffs — for instance— _ A hurricane must have broken loose in the Armour Co.—‘cause the prices on their products at Fausto’s are sure smashed to smithereens! They‘ve really join- ed the birthday festivities with all the bright bargains now being offered on their high quality meats and nutritious dairy items. Thpir time-saving canned meat products — Treet, Hash, Corned Beef, etc. are also completely flattened in price! “Switch to Suds” seems to be the echoing cry of all housewives taking advantage of this new Armour “All Purpose Detergent’ being offered at 2 packages for 4c! Thought | actually heard those three parrot heads on the package say “Tri-Polly, the Built In Water. Softener.” As we all know so well the aggravation of hard water here, this meant won- derful news! “Suds”. is extreme- ly efficient for all cleaning chores and for dishes. The bluing and bleaching problem on washdays is ended! Use “Suds” for your yndry, and your clothes will have that “washed-in” fragrance that only happens when they are really clean. Happy Birthday, dear Fausto’s Food Palace and thanks for the mucho money saved there this week-end — and to music! Z2Saezse FOR THE BEST CAR DEAL IN OUR: TOWN — see Navarro Inc! Se aes Then there’s the story that Paul Miller had been in Our Town for seven winters without ever going swimming! One day when Bonnie, his wife, was talking with the Granville Smiths at the Beach Club, she looked up to’ see her husband striding down the dock in bathing trunks. As Bonnie tells it — the Smiths were convinced it couldn’t be Paul because (1) he never went swim- ming (2) didn’t own any bathing trunks (3) wasn’t even in town! In spite of this logic, Bonnie ran down the. dock and she was right! He had arrived in town sooner than expected and had planned to liter- ally “swim” in — as a surprise, Swimming is now one of his fav- orite sports! BEE Zs Somehow or other, just hadn’t my favorite Open Air Sandwich Shoppe — Cafeteria Style — (ex- cept after 4:30)! Where else — but Chuck’s (corner Duval and Southard)! Julie — bless her heart — said she had missed me and then we fell to discussing the extraordin- arily superlative sandwiches they serve there. No wonder that roast beef is excellent — it’s cooked fresh daily. And confidentially, there just isn’t anything more sad than dead tired roast beef! Also, | learned that this genial and capable red-head prepares that mouth-watering potato salad every day! And with, each and every won- derful sandwich at Chuck’s — you get a scoop of this salad or @ fine, real Kosher Dill pickle! BB 55 DIAMONDS TO: All the moth- ers whose kids received the Gam- ma Globulin shots, for their wis- dom and patience. —Drs. Bernet and Burnette (pronounced the same way) who came to Our Town to assist in this mass enterprise. —The many volunteer workers — nurses, Gray Ladies and all the people in Our Town who helped. —The U. S, Navy for its out- standing aid! Just don't know what to do with that Mar-Ed Dress Shop, 421-B Duval — now, they've gone and torn their T-shirts in HALF- THE PRICE | mean. These are beautifully made and the very latest styles — many are just now being shown in the magazines. ‘The necklines include “V,” tur- tle, boat, square and soft col- lar. These are convict stripes in gay colors — solid colors — deep and pastels — checks, etc. “Because there is such a stupen- dous saving, these are on a cash only basis. ; But you can charge those dresses you select — and there is a twenty per cent reduction here! Also — right in the mid- dle of the floor will be a rack of dresses — for $5.00! (these are probably cash ‘sales too). Ah, me little bargain sleuths — this is for’ you! At Mar-Ed saw some of the smartest white which would mal for your mother. Although these are not on sale, they are good buys as you will soon discover. Mar-Ed for clothing gifts for your Mom. Lee $F My Red Shawl tells me that Do- rothy Raymer who is now in New York, occupies a darling little cot- tagle in Greenwich Village Anyone who knows that territory — rea- lizes that Dorothy has the only ac- commodations of this type to be found there as apartment houses are the rule! S228 Though Mother's Day is near, Vl have to break precedent and bring up fathers! After all, they do go together. At the Gift House (yes, it’s still diagonally across from the Post Office) there is the most original gift for that ‘Father-About-To-Bel” It is a “Walk-a-thon Apron!” Because this is so much fun fo read and wear, Dad can slip it on and take over the care — éheerfully — of that infant — and in the middle of the night, too! Won't tell you all the humorous drawings and sayings — but they‘re good! Many appropriate gifts for Mo- ther may be found here. A sup- erb Guatemalan, hand-tooled beautiful leather bag — worn with long or short strap would be a perfect remembrance. Another idea for Mother is the combination casserole dish and two-quart casserole and four kid- ney-shaped shallow dishes — all are oven-proof so that food may be prepared right in them. Then slip them in the striking “‘Luma- loy” (silver colored metal) hold- ets for serving. The four dishes wing out (not too far as they are attached) from the center one — very neat! The Gift House shows excellent taste and great care in selecting their items. Remember, their beautiful gift wrappings add to the Present you'll choose here for — your Mother. Z22 2228 You might have heard this the other eve on L. Thomas’ program — seems as if Kirk Douglas is angry with the Russians and this is the story. . They reported that he was offer- ed a role in Homer’s “Odyssey” and is said to have answered, “Did he write any other movie scripts?” — according to the R’s. Mr. Douglas allows as how he knows as much about Homer's “Tiliad” and “Odyssey” if not more, than the average person — so, he will beam via Voice of Am- erica an answer to that effect in — no, not Greek, but Russian! Z=z2_22 Johnson’s Jewelry Shop at 624 Duval have always carried the very best in diamonds and wat- ches. Now, they have a com- plete stock of “Dirilyte’ which is the young and preferred ans- wer to that old problem of what shall be used for beautiful table- ware. . The practical aspects of “’Dirl- lyte’ are hidden in the warm, golden shade. It is not. plated — but is made of solid metal, Cen- terpieces, candelabra and salts and peppers can also be obtain- ed in this divine — “‘Dirilyte.” When at Johnson’s, ask about the ‘Keepsake’ Diamonds — Mother’d love one of these! ZS S852 WELCOME TO: Mrs, Theodore Sackler of Philadelphia whose son Marvin H. Chapman wrote the winning letter in the 1954 USO- YMCA contest, held in honor of Mother’s Day. Know they are both real proud and happy! 2222 With writing still in mind — don’t fail to avail yourself of the opportunity to give your very Page 3; own mother one of those splen- did “Schaeffer” pens. Coral Keys Office Supplies still have that “Name Imprinted for Free’ spe- cial for Mother’s Day. These pens and pencils, made by Mr. Schaeffer and: Company are the finest and best. Tops in looks, workmanship, and depen- dability. This is one practical gift which Mother will welcome. For a monogrammed, Schaeffer pen — Coral Keys Office Sup- plies. ge BE Ez Seems as if Bill Neblett after one of TV appearances, was offer- ed a job “in case” — told him that Doris is prettier! However, Bill will leave Monday, now that his hat is still in the ring, for intensive traveling. Was cur- jous as'to the greatest distance in one fell swoop which he will cover and found out — 300 miles! As he says, recent events have made him a “traveling man” and we all know — he is a lawyer! And many hope he goes far— B22 = 8 Candlelight Inn, 1209 Virginia, is the perfect spot to take Mo- ther out for dinner. She‘ll feel right at home in the beautiful and spacious Candlelight — she will even be served in the home manner — and she'll truly enjoy the food — especially when there are no dishes “to do.” Phone 2-2897 for reservations for the entire family — and give Mother an evening out with a dinner so good — that she might have cooked it herself. 22m: =z PAST PARTICLES: Continuing with that “New York Sun Man” of 1899 — caustic chap that he was regarding Our Town: (in re: living for 75¢ a week) “A stick of sugar cane costs only three cents. Bananas and oranges can be hooked from the auc- tioneers, hominy is cheap, and a string of fish can be caught from the wharf. For a shelter there is little need, save to keep off the rain, and it needs not a house to do that. What a country for a tramp! What a climate for the poor!”” 222222 Would like te give your Mother the gift of knowledge of the many items she'll need for her brood which are on sale at Ideal Togs, across from Chuck's). To save her hours of chasing that toddler — there is an ideal play pen of selected hardwood, with heavy masonite floors and’ four casters for easy moving for only — $9.98! At Ideal, regular crib size innerspring mattresses which are plastic covered — al- so sell for $9.98! And in addition to the above priceless bargains there are clearance (one lot) of children’s dresses — $1.98. “Snug safe” con- tour sheets, both white and Pas- tel are reduced to 89%. Boys’ cotton dress shirts and children’s blouses — 99c. These are only a few of the gigantic bargains to be found in Ideal’s CLEARANCE SALE! Bem EE ; There have been many things kicked around, but I do believe that the portrait, “‘Whistler’s Mo- ther,” a serene, sweet-faced old lady in a lace cap has been the basis for more jokes that it has merited. According to the Associated Press, the picture has a varied background. It hung in the Royal Academy show in 1872 and was re- viled as sentimental rot. After all, Whistler and the British were not exactly chums. It made a trip to the pawn shop following Whistler’s libel suit a- gainst critic John Ruskin. Trial costs left him bankrupt and un- happy without his picture, so he finally redeemed it. 32 22 = FOR THE BEST CAR DEAL IN OUR TOWN — see Navarro, Ine.

The latest al- bums just received are those in- teresting illustrated ones for chil- dren. This is a terrific boon for parents, because if something in- terrupts your “story telling time’ — just play Bugs Bunny, Woodie Woodpecker, or Mickey Mouse and your child can follow the story and pictures as the record plays! What funt dust the item for the kiddies’ playroom— a handsome three speed record player in a colorful two-tone case for only — $22.95. This is usually a $29.95 value — so don’t pass it up. As a matter of fact, this phonograph could be used anywhere to play any of the many records found at the Music Shoppe (near the Atlantic end of Duval — look for the name on the record sign out front)! S28 £5 To continue the history of the portrait of Whistler’s “Mother” — In 1881, the year Mrs. Whistler died in England, her picture was exhibited for the first time in her native land. It was returned to Eu- rope because no one would pay the $1,000 Whistler asked. When the picture was purchased PLANNING AHEAD—for next year’s activities are Mrs. Ray Byrns, president of the Woman's Club; Mrs. Wallace B. Kirke, first vice-president: Mrs. William Warren and Mrs. Winston Jones. The new officers were installed Wednesday night.

Members and guests filled the auditorium for the bi-annual in- stallation. The club rooms were beautifully decorated for the occa- sion with arrangements of baby poinciana and stephanotis the club flower. Mrs. Wallace B. Kirke, retiring president, welcomed the group and gave a brief report of her “‘stew- ardship.” Mrs. Kirke said that she would always be grateful for the friendships made during her ad- ministration, and that she was especially proud of the Key West Youth Center, which was or- ganized under the sponsorship of the Woman’s Club, and that last winter the club was able to burn the mortgage on the club build- ing. She said that she was looking forward to serving with the newly elected president, Mrs. Ray Byrns, as first vice president and paid tribute to all the officers and com- mittees for their “hard work and loyalty.” Mrs. William Warren, a_ past president of the Woman’s Club and long one of the outstanding women in the community, installed the new officers. Mrs. James A. Mor- gan, past district director of the Florida Federation of Women’s Clubs was unable to come due to an injury suffered in a fall earlier this week. Officers installed Wednesday night are Mrs. Ray Byrns, presi- dent; Mrs. Kirke, first vice presi- dent; Mrs. Winston Jones, second vice president; corresponding sec- retary, Mrs. Greyburn Pinder. Mrs. Fred Miller was installed for her second term as treasurer as was Mrs. Edgar Stark, historian. Miss Minnie Porter Harris will again serve the club as parliamen- tarian. Mrs. Donald Heinly was in- stalled as auditor, and Mrs. Dan Navarro as director. Unable to be present were the recording secre- tary, Mrs. Bernard Frank and Mrs. Jonathon Jackson, director. In her acceptance speech, Mrs. Byrns said that “it is a privilege to be a member of the Federation of Women’s Clubs and to be presi- dent of this Woman’s Club is an outstanding honor which I accept joyously.” She said that it is her hope that the club will continue to: go forward “upholding the princi- ples of truth, honor and integrity.” She urged that “in our contacts with each other, we renew old friendships and welcome new ones.” Following the president’s speech, Mrs. Kirke was presented with a for $800. by the French govern- ment in 1891, it would up at the Louvre. This was the first work by an American to hang in this fam- ous art gallery. Whistler is said to have lived nearby so that he could visit it!

He also showed a number of slides of pla- ces of historical interest including one of the cell in Phillipi where the Apostle Paul was imprisoned for two years.
