SOCIETY — PERSONALS — NEWS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN ITEMS OF INTEREST To EVERYONE SUE JONES, Editor Wednesday, May 26,195 THEKEY WEST CIEE Pee Oo May 26, 1954 There are many things I could write of this morning—but think Pll stick to the weather. "Tis a lovely day—clear, crisp, cool and ideal to wander in and out of the stores—just dawdling and brows- ing — and a lookin’ around — and perhaps, blissfully buying—mebbe 80, eh? or Bal sS5 My hea Shawl tolls me there have. been innovations made at the Gift House which is still dia- gonally across from the Post Of- fice! Shopping here is always re- warding ‘and interesting and now, with new display shelves, indirect lighting and more room resulting from removal of a wall—it is better than ever! Also, new items have been re- ceived. One will @ perfect bridge prize. It is a lovely ivory case entitled “What's Yours” and inside, in small compart- ments and in different colors, are numbered tabs which slip on glass to make serving easier for chests and hostesses to remem- ber who and what—an attractive ‘and novel gift! Saw some handsome framed fatiric shell prints! Just one of the many delightful things te be found at the Gift House! 2S 25 Ray and Belle Dank who have been the managers and not “night watchmen of the Fort Taylor Offi- cers’ Club are leaving shortly for Fort Monmouth, New Jersey, Ray allows as how he has been thor- oughly ‘investigated”— Leos 8 ey Your slipcovers and draperies ‘are very important to you, not only because you spend money on them, but they are part of your home. The Caroline Shop, 223 Ann Street, are just een] people who will spend tim: effort' with you on your ing problems. They much it means te you recor just the right color ‘combinations and materials. Also, their work is guaranteed—so your satisfac- tion is insured. They have many wonderful fabrics from which to choose and the cost is reason- able. Now that summer is here, you'll find that the bamboo blinds (up and down ones) at the Caroline Shop will not only make your home more shady,t but will lend a tropical atmos- phere. ZSez8e Mike O’Leary, Renie Emory, Dick Johnson, Jack Fread and Mary Kubis were watching and kibitizing the other day when a truck was hanging uncertainly be- tween the marl and water at “Operation Bagel”. Believe the truck was finally rescued! ss528 “lt Must Be Love’—no, am not waxing romantic, but am giving good advice as regards dresses for your little girls. Ideal Togs, 534 Duval- Street carry this well-known brand which is endorsed by both Good Housekeeping and Parents’ Mag- azines. Saw the cutest styles! Summer will mean sunbacks for your young lady, and here you'll find many to choose from—at only $2.98. The beauty of these “Love” dresses is not only in their appearance, but in the ease with which they are laundered! The seersuckers — plisses —that new fangled, but wonderful “drip and dry” material (not nylon)— are included in the “non-iron- le’ cottons! So, whisk that little love of yours into a “Love” frock found at the Ideal Togs and you'll both “love” it! 22 =f The other day when the “Jose Marti” was tying up at the dock, one of the sailors asked me what was going on. Well, we had quite a chat and found out that he had just returned from Guatamano,, was naturally curious about a Cu- ban ship being here. When I had explained as much as I knew about “Fiesta”, etc.— asked his name and it was—Henry Ford! SesSee Still don’t know just what Her- man’s will have on sale tomor- row morning! Haven't had a second to get by 512 Duval and look in the window! Know it isn’t desses, although this shop has some good looking ones. Guess I'll just have to wait until Thursday—but in the mean- while—you all plan to be at Her- man’s THURSDAY MORNING as to not miss the SALE— en though yours truly is still in the dark as to just what it may be! Knowing Herman ort THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Page 3 though—betchas it will be a dan dy savings! S2=22 Understand | the Library is now open—and with a new decorating Job! Haven’t had a chance to go by and inspect, but do know that they have lots of good books! So, when your reading habit increases don’t forget Our Town’s Library. With their vast selection of litera- ture, you can settle down in the old hammock- and forget summer is rapidly approaching—on heat waves! Sia sz There are some who say— “Pity Mr. Pruitt”: — fixing watches—what a hard job! But, please don't feel sorry for “Tinker”, ‘cause he just loves to repair timepieces in his quaint little shop at 402 South- ad Street! And— he’s good too! =zHeez Saw then most gorgeous piece of driftwood the other day up at the Windward House. It belongs to Norma and Dora Martinez who are busy making beautifully fluted shells to hold plants. These will be Placed in the niches found in the driftwood. The only way to des- cribe its unusual shape is to say that it looks as if Paul Bunyan might have taken a huge piece of driftwood and tied it into a knot! Also, the girls’ ceramic work is lovely! BSePes Home Appliance Co., 605 Sim- onton Street is just the shop for anything you might need for your house. And | mean—small items and also — large ones— jay—air conditioners! y “Consumer’s Re- search” recommends three brands of air conditioners. The “Fedders” W39-G23 which heads the list — the Carrier Model 51E3119—and Hotpoint Model 75 WAC-IG are all found at Home Appliance, , Scoff at the summer heat by air conditioning your tropical liv- ing. It is so much more comfort- able—to say nothing of cooler. Drop in at Home Appliance and inquire how one of, these fine air conditioners can be purchased on a budget plan. Remember too that you not only benefit from a temperature viewpoint, but that air conditioners filter, dehumidi- fy, ventilate, keep bugs and noise out and really make for lighter housework as the dust and dirt are minimized! Comfort, coolness and conven- fence which only air condition- ing can bring can be yours for a reasonable cost at Home Appli- ance! SEB ees HEADLINE HASH: An AP story fout of Norfolk tells of the man who found the following note on his car: “Sorry, they wouldn’t fit. We would have put them back on but we have to try someone else.” The note, signed by a “Mr. X” was lying in two hubcaps which had been pried off, and then were Placed by the side of his car! —Still like the AP note about the hen pheasant crashing through a kitchen window in Ontario. When the housewife: told the paper's photographer she was going to eat it—the pheasant squawked, flapped its wings and flew out the window —breaking another pane of glass! (What’s with that phrase—dumb animals!) sae =e The- Adorable Beauty Salon, 924 Simonton is air conditioned and your figure can be made slimmer in comfort! Look into those slenderizing treatments and you'll look better! The cost is very reasonable compared with the results! £2228 Was fascinated the other even- ing listening to some of the data regarding the first production of “The Filibusters”. My Red Shawl tells me the first Production was seven months in rehearsal—three of the cast were transferred — altogether they had six leading men, including two in one night—and about $35.00 worth of manuscript paper was used in the revising. Seems as if Ray Byrns’ swell Play started out as a story—Well, Tegardless of the obstacles we now have a good play of the “turbu- lent times” of Our Town—many years ago. g=25S228 Was talking with Mr. about his company said that I’d sure like to tell my readers of the excellent work they do. There just isn’t anything the M, E. Bennett Construction Co, can’t build. So, if you‘re considering con- city editor of The Key West Arrington. WED AT NAVAL BASE CHAPEL—Mr. and Mrs. John W. Mil- ler were married in a quiet ceremony at the Naval Base Chapel Monday evening. Chaplain Robinson performed the double ring ceremony. The bridegroom is the brother of Margaret Foresman. Citizen.—Staff Photo by Sybil Meets Tomorrow The board of directors of the Florida Keys Girl Scout Council will have an important meeting at the Wesley House at 8:00 p. m. to- Morrow night. Miss Sarah Bowman, special ad- visor from Girl Scout National, will conduct a brief training course for Council board memberg at this time. Miss Bowman was sent from National to assist the new council and has requested that board mem- bers who have any questions about their work bring them up at this meeting. Miss Bowman meet with the members of the membership - no- minating committee and the fin- ance committee yesterday after- noon, CHANGE IN TOT VICTOR, N. Y. (—Two-year-old Danny Dorscheiz, a penny stuck in his throat, was rushed 18 miles to Rochester General Hospital yes- terday. X-rays, taken just as surgeons Prepared to operate, showed that Danny had swallowed the penny. Doctors left the rest to nature. eee Norma Eileen Allen, John Mille:: Are Wed At Naval Base Chapel Norma Eileen Allen and John W. Miller were married at the Naval Base Chapel at six o’clock in the evening on Monday, May 24. Ledr. Charles B. Robinson, Protestant chaplain at the Naval Station, performed the double ring ceremony in the presence of re- latives and a few close friends. The traditional wedding marches were played by Joe Dorsey at the chapel organ. Don Albin, soloist, sang D’Hardelot’s “Because” and “The Lord’s Prayer” by Mallotte. The bride, who was given in mar- riage by Ray C. Higgins, a friend of the family, chose an aqua ballerina length gown of net and taffeta for her wedding. The strapless bodice was cover- ed by a short Spencer jacket of matching lace. The full net skirt fell in tiers. Her matching elbow length mitts were of nylon net. The bride’s short halo veil was fasten- ed to a circlet of white flowers and she carried a white prayer book centered with three white orchids. The bride’s only attendant, Miss Lori Doss, wore a pink net bal- lerina length dress with lace bod- ice featuring tiny cap sleeves. The full net skirt was posed over mat- _—— structing a house, you will find that this company is known throughout Our Town as one of the very best and this reputation is based on skill, integrity, ex- perience and cooperation in all respects, pnewcnnY: cost — with the builder. A home “Built by Bennett’ is not only a good investment, but you'll love its beauty and sound construction. Lee Ug SF PAST PARTICLES: Our “New York Sun Man” of 1899 would cer- tainly never qualify for a “Nos- tradamus”—with the following pre- diction: “In keeping with the prevailing lack of enterprise, the accomoda- tions for visitors are meager. Two private boarding houses and one hotel is the sum total. Pick up any travelers’ guide, tourists’ hand- book, or railroad advertisement, and search for Key West, and you will search in vain. With a larger population than any other city in Florida, and greater capabilities for being made a pleasure resort and sanitarium than any city in the Union, it remains an unknown land.” (Hah, hah, hah — “BB— 1954!) Le Se SS They say that fish are good food for the “brain’—this might be an old wives’ tale—but you'll be real smart to go to Lowe's Fish Company, 900 Caroline, be- cause they have the very best selection of fresh fish. So, if you've a hankering for seafood for dinner, you'll be glad you went to Lowe's where there is shrimp for salad—scal- lops for frying—fish for stuffing —turtle for steak — and yellow tail, snapper, —all varieties and FRESH too! ZZ S222 My Red Shawl tells: me that plans for a sorta junior Garden Club are now being drawn up. Mrs. Carl Hesse and Merle DeLand are going to “angel” this long- needed addition to Our Town’s Garden Club. It is astonishing how many kids are interested in growing things and having plants of their own. To encourage this natural bent and love for gardening is most worth- while and necessary. Anyone who loves gardening—has the apprecia- tion and patience necessary in dealing with the young. A seedling requires care. A bud about to bloom always causes pride in the heart of a gardner. And so, it is with children. Allow- ing them to participate in garden- ing activities means a great deal to them personally and to their overall growth and — personality pattern. z= ass Coral Keys’ Office Supplies, 126 Duval Street are “penning” the perfect greeting for Father's Day.
