“Cleanswept” was, I thought a bona fide word. However, with the uncertain aid of my anaemic Web- ster (abridged edition) and the Dict. of Synonyms (newly acquir- ed)—can find no evidence that it is! Pe my recollection of it harks *k to a Pennsylvania Dutch ancestry—it is probably a similar to “reddy- ing up the room”. In’ any event, reckon I really shouldn’t worry too much about its origin, for in this day and time of “high power- ed advertising” (be this treason?) —all the imaginative and also ordinary words have been called into play to describe and also sell —“the state of cleanliness’. On the other hand — no one, with perhaps the exception of Thoreau—could describe nature’s own ablutions—the remaining brante of color—the freshness in- duced by the multiple bristles of a heavy rain—the absolute’ purity of the foliage this early eve. Yes, there is a prevailing beauty—lush- ness “‘on” the greenery—and a light, clear fragrance is in the air—and the palm fronds sway in even motion, as if many unseen, loving hands were using them as fans. And I reckon yours truly better sashshay about the shopping at hand— : Sees At 223 Ann, which is. a little, quaint street just off Caroline— between Simonton and Duval— thers is the Caroline Shop whose picturesque, tropical setting is $9 completely typical of Our Town. Whilst | have spoken before only of the lovely drapery mater- fals found here—today, what with wedding gifts uppermost in ‘eur minds and also—iast-minute @raduation presents — let's look at the unique, inexpensive and many imported items, My notes say “bamboo pierc- ed muddiers’—know that it .is wrong! Ah—here it is unscrambl- ed: & terling silver—for pieréed™ (or otherwise , start at $1.25, Now—beautiful martini pitcher sets with darling little bamboo canes for muddl- ers! The graceful pitchers come in all sizes—even -the “wee” e-« ~thich will ‘held : “cocktails for two’—perfect for the newly wus! There are also those stun- ning “bamboo” wrapped glasses and cocktail shakers! My cigarette caught one of these “Louise Pam Bell” origin- al ashtrays—and my eye lit on the differently shaped jewel crackle glass—also the Swedish and then the Japanese ashtrays. These are all inexpensive—un- usual—lovely enough to “serve” nuts. or olives in—perfect for wedding presents! By all means go to the Caro- line Shop — see the stunning “Geeso” Italian picture frames— and the gorgeous “Boca Rattan” —abaca set in lucite—for serving di or flower bowls, The Caroline Shop for that “‘re- membrance” to the bridal couple that they'll never forget!

First off, his position is an “elective” one, with the Cuban people of Our Town doing the voting. Then, because the building is one of the most interesting in Our Town—asked about the history of the San Carlos. The Institute was founded in 1871 by Cuban emi- grants, and the first, building was located on Ann Street. The second was a small struc- ture erected in the present loca- tion. When it was torn down, a three-story building was erected. This was damaged by fire and really fixed by the hurricane of 1919. . Eventual condemnation by the city authorities caused it to be demolished. The present edifice was built in October 10, 1924. The previous building had been erected by funds raised from public subscrip- tions—donated by Key Westers and Cubans. However, the Cuban Gov- ernment financed the last “San Carlos Institute’ and you all know the important’ part it plays, and the meaning it has for—Our Town, * ; (ee 8 Sy If you're in an elegant mood and the exchequ ys you can not dine out of an avening—by all means, don’t forget the “A and B Lobster House’. Here you can order a lobster, turtle, shrimp—practically any kind of seafood dinner and gaze at the lovely view of sky, water and boats—and the price is astonish- ingly low! And—the food but good! Don’t miss one of Our Town's most excellent “‘dining out’ places! i SBe zzz HAPPY BIRTHDAY to two of JOAN’S CHUMS: Linda Bruce and Freda Wolf.

Sem =z “Cribbette’ at the Ideal Togs, 534 Duval is not a card game, but a wonderful crib: for those who not‘only have budget wor- ries, but have to save on space too! It can be rolled through a doorway — has closely placed spindles for safety and comes in a natural finish. All in all— this is Ideal for your bambino! If you are “‘infanticipating”, the Ideal has all the furniture for the nursery—in all shades, too, so whatever color scheme you have in mind can be sati: fied. There are cribs, playpens, bathinettes—a full line of not only good looking and “‘cute’’ (decal decorations, etc.) furni- ture—but everything there that I've found, might be one thing —but usually turns out to serve two, or three different purposes. You'll be amazed at modern nursery furniture—see it all at Ideal Togs, 534 Duval! Ss 5 2 HEAD HANGING OR APOLO- GIES TO: The people in charge of street signs. Still don’t see that “Qne Way-Do Not Enter” wafn- ing which should be placed also on the right hand side of Simonton and Truman (going Gulfward). However, do believe that the pres- ent sign on the left hand side has been moved into a better position —but am not sure! So, if it has been changed and yours truly didn’t say “thank you”—am real sorry! —Leila Godfrey who. is also go- ing to Europe—for forgetting her first name!

St. Mary’s Star of the Sea Ca- tholic Church was the scene of one of the loveliest weddings of the summer when Miss Gloria Marie Muniz was wed to William Frank McLeod at three o'clock Sunday afternoon, May 30, with the Rev- erend Father John Capelle officiat. ing at the double ring ceremony. The beautiful young bride, who was given in marriage by her fa- ther, chose for her wedding an ex- quisite gown of Chantilly lace and ese tulle fashioned on princess es, The high round neckline wat trimmed with pearl-centered flow- ers. The long sleeves came to a point over her hands. The floor length bouffant skirt of tulle featured an overskirt ot the ‘lace, caught in graceful folds in the front and falling into a ca- thedral train. The bride’s circular finger tip il- lusion veil was"held in place by a dainty pearl coronet trimmed in lace. She carried a white prayer book centered with a purple-throated white orchid. Stephanotis blossoms were fastened in the long white ribbon streamers. Her blue crystal rosary was a gift from her senior class teacher.

She was a member ot the graduating class at the Convent of Mary Immaculate, and was tlass president. She took an active part in school clubs and activities, Mr. McLeod is the son.of Mrs. Robert Zimmerman, 6810 S. W. 49th Street, Miami. He is a gra- SUE ed a guest—have not seen. any others fall. Lee SS Here is that Lowe's testimon- ial which mysteriously appear: ed! 3 “1 have today experienced a thrill supreme. | visited Lowe Fish Co, at Margaret and Caro- line Street and saw the many varieties of delicious Sea Food which | failed to catch, such as Jewfish fillets. These are taken from a large fish whose exterior is so hard to clean it has to be skinned. There were also Yellowtail fillets, muttonfish, (Red) Snap- per, Hogfish Snapper, Gray (Mango) Snapper, Grouper, etc. Saw too—the popular Key West Pink Jumbo Shrimp (also me- dium size ones too), Conchs and other popular seafoods. The fish at Lowe’s are caught fresh daily and handled by ex- perienced commercial fishermen assuring you the best of quality at all times.” And so, your “BB” says “thanks to whoever you are— and YOU ARE SO RIGHT! gsase Have not mentioned heretofore the disaster of the Bennington be- cause many of the Navy folk in Our Town might have had ship- mates on it. However, with Memorial Day just past and the memory of the Bennington—would like to men- tion an article by Walter Locke on “Unto You A Memorial”. This | appeared in the Sunday Miami!

May I quote at random from Locke’s column mentioned above, in re: Memorials: | “The nation needs to be mindful of the toils and travels by which it grew. No Pride of a present can be without memory of the way by which the Present came. . .” “. . . -On and on the memorials go, props to| memory of the past by which dir- ection of the future can be found. Only through knuwledge and ex- perience of yesterday, conferred by memory upon today, can the wisdom of tomorrow be assured”. Just a few excerpts—beautiful- ly written and the pertinent fact —monuments and memorials are never erected to the bad or evil —either times or men. == As you drive by the Gift | House, which is and ever shall | be—diagonally across from the | wedding trip to an undisclosed des- tination, The bride traveled in a smartly tailored tan linen suit with brown and white accessories.
