SOCIETY — PERSONALS — NEWS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN SUE JONES, Editor Thursday, July 8, 1954 THE Y’know—there are many things yours truly couldn’t write about— fr instance—where do bobby pins and straight pins disappear? Ev- ery gal will know what I mean— » you can buy these two things by the carload and invariably they vanish! Then too, couldn’t write about what makes a goldfish happy—or » do dogs really have souls— we abandon the negative approach here—and skedaddle to the Shops in Our Town—where yours truly is on safe ground—in speaking pf— S22 Let's all help evacuate Ein- horn’s Variety Store (corner An- gela and Duval)—no—that does Mot mean the rent is due, but just that this amazing shop is moying to a new home. Consequently loads and loads and heaps and heaps of merchan- dise is BEING REDUCED! Ten percent off on drug sundries and the many miscellaneous (and they’re a flock of them) items found at Einhorn’s. Also ask Jack about his low price on the Crosse and Blackwell and other gourmet and plain grocery items. SS mse The woman was all alone. She had a sweet face with unusually lovely, soft eyes. Her dress was most neat and‘ yours truly guessed her age to be in the sixties. Ayd so, it was—and—July 4th was her birthday. She told me of the many places she had found herself to be—on July 4th. England (her birthplace —Nottingham) — Haiti — Hawaii ‘were amongst the many—and yours truly was fascinated with the travel the lady had done. She had heard of her friends’ accident—Lavina Wagner and Ma- voreen Meador—and had come down to see them. Also—seems as if she had, throughout her life made a point of taking a trip somewhere on her birthday. As she said—either short or long—just so, she did not stay, home on that day. Her name was Helen Sims. Then the choir came~in~and- service “started in the Parish House and she was only slightly disappointed that she could not worship in St. Paul’s as she had twenty nine years ago—the last time she had visited, Our Town. 5 2a 222 + TWO FOR THE ICE OF ONE—always me: @ good buy in any man’s language. How- ever, the fact that yours truly is speaking of “‘Photographs by Po- ray”’—means infinitely more than just saving money. This lovely Studio at 404 Southard Street takes pleasure and pride in mak- ing fine portraits to please you. Experience with proper lighting combined with a thorough know- ledge of photography—produces a victure of you—your family or your friends which will always be admired! From July 1 through the 17th Poray is making this amazing offer in celebration of their sec- ond birthday in Our Town and as a “Merci” to you swell people. {dle thought No. 68212—re- | member Christmas will be her and this would be an excellent | ‘way to whittle down that “Xmas List’—by having pictu taken at Poray—for gifts later. Don’t forget—TWO FOR ONE—on ANY picture made in the STUDIO be- tween 7-1 and 7-17! SefHez My Red Shawl tells me that Norman Wood has returned to his home from thehospital and is do- ing well. What with his pretty wife, Shirley—to nurse him—know he'll continue to recuperate in fine style. S23 aes NOTE TO NEWCOMERS: There is in Our Town a shop which has wonderful . character and also—an amazing .variety of fruits and vegetables! “If it grows—they have it” and this is most true! Overseas Fruit Market, 934 Truman will really amaze you with their astonishing variety of tropical fruits. Small, sweet pine- apples from Cuba (some of these were only a dime!) Spanish limes still on their branches— Still nestled ‘midst the small green leaves and also—onions, —plump, purple ones imported from Naples, Italy mild and Sweet —still attached to their dried stems which had been braided. This is called “a trace.” Heard something good here— only Overseas has FRESH OR- ANGE AND GRAPEFRUIT JUICE and by phoning 2-7742 they'll deliver couple of quarts fe your door! You might also KEY WEST CITIZEN ask them about their mangoes, and melons and cantaloupes and watermelon (ice cold—any size Portion sold) —and the plums, cherries, grapes, ‘‘dillies”, papa- yas, avocados—anything you can think of—ask Frank and he will always answer “Why, yes, sure we have that’ and whilst he and Butch and Dolly and Mary are all swell people and very modest —yours truly will say for them—Overseas Fruit Market carries lly choice qual- ity fruits and vegetables, and it is a most marvelous place! | Aside to Visitors: Be sure and see this fabulous fruit and vege- table shop—you’ll love it! oe fey KEY-notes: Noticed the flag draped, fire-engine red Chevrolet parked on Truman. The pennants were red, green, blue and yellow with a picture of a cigar in the middle. Then there were blue and red ones, with “BBC” outlined in white—also, the Stars and Stripes were flying too. Imagine yours truly’s surprise when later—saw the same car in the motorcade which wended thru Our Town—with police escort and sirens and horns screaming. And so, the Tampa Circulo Base- ball team, arrived to play the Key West Cuban nine. ZEeHees If you think a banana is just something to peel and eat—would like to tell you that the Banana Tree Grille, 523 Truman means a lot more than that. Here you can have a delicious dinner—or, if you‘re in the mood—one of “heir icy tropical salads with a dollop of sherbert would suffice. No matter what you order in this pleasant and delightful eat- ing spot, you'll allow as how the food is mighty good. Open all day, the Banana Tree Grille for fine, inexpensive meals, with an excellent menu selection. For dessert—any one of the many flavors of the famous Howard Johnson ice creams—or, and no-— where will you find those mouth- watering, super good ice cream pies! S228 Then there’s the one about “there would be fewer half-blind gents if glasses were fitted to the lips.” *Scuse please—but isn’t this a mistaken thought? Perhaps one might say—stick to “seeing-eye glasses”—or sumthin’. Dunno— Bz > 28 Please don’t forget the “Not New” Shop at 421 Fleming, unusual shop and also profitable for you! Everything handled— while NOT NEW—will be in good condition. Phone 2-8615 and you will find the answer to what to de with those things which we all have— and keep—because “they‘re too good to throw away”. Also at the “Not New” shop, you'll find the solution te buy- ing those articles which you need, but feel can not afford. Remember, now — EVERY- THING MUST BE IN GOOD CONDITION. Clothes must be cleaned or washed. Boat ("me pieces) can | remain in your home and one of « ia the Not New Shop for you. July 14th will be the “RECEIVING DATE” and your truly will tell you later of the formal opening. 2 = 8 2 That swellelegant Band—‘“Los Mamboleros” has been invited to return to the “Circulo Cubano” in Miami to play for a dance this coming Saturday! This means they’ll have an audience of 2-3 or 4,000 people, including many from Our Town. Tomorrow shall tell you all about a dance yours truly attend- ed last week at the Cuban Club in Our Town, with this same fine ag- gregation playing. Frankly, this fourteen-piece band under the di- rection of Emilio Rojas (who also plays mighty fine sax) is really good! And know that we all are real proud of it! Would like to add that because of the trip—my friends’ Music Shoppe will be closed all day Sat- urday—but will open next week and there will still be a sale on records— and know Los Mambo- leros will also smash records in that city which is 500 miles from Jacksonville se=mes Herman’s, 512 Duval Street is closed TEMPORARILY due to ALTERATION!
