She has made her home in Key West with her sister, Mrs. Herman M. Knight at SUE JONES, Editor Seems as if it’s been a long time since my last visit. Not too much happened to yours truly—except that in retrospect—’twas a good week-end. Many things—nothing earthshak- ing, I'll clue you—went into this. *Twas dancing under the high white moon over Aeropalms—and meet- ing visitors to Our Town—’twas the swimming and sun at the Beach Club—and chatting and meeting more people — ‘twas the Talent Show at the Naval Station—’twas later, the Does’ Dance for Polio at the Elks Club—and again chat- ting with good friends and meet- ing more of the wonderful people of Our Town—’twas eary Church on Sunday—and afterwards stopping in to see good friends who were about to leave on a boat trip—’twas the pleasure of talking with the people from D. C. who were ac- companying them—friends whom I haven’t seen in some time—’twas washing Mac, the cocker spaniel —and puttering about the house and Joan’s trying to teach me to ride a bike (lost cause) and visit- ing with other good friends who have two collies, two kids and one burnt orang striped cat and a TV set which had some good programs on—and then later, listening to Sigmund Romberg’s music with Joan and realizing that she was old enough to appréciate its beau- ty— i And of course, went shopping also over the week-end and would like, with your permission, to tell you of— 22 2 Bicycling offers a great deal in the way of healthful exercise, economic transportation and good fun, For that reason, won't you look iat bikes with me? Comes now from merrie ole England — the “Royal London” which can be seen at J. R. Stow- ers Co., 533 Duval Street. This is really a beauty and is equip- ped with three speeds—low, high and neutral. Also, it has hand brakes and many prefer the Eng- lish bike: because of its easy rid- ing and comfort on long dis- tances. However, would like to remind you that Stowers also carry the well-known American makes— Columbia and Rollfast. Because bicycling is so much a part of the transportation system of Our Town, know that you are inter- ested in the best and Stowers— 533 Duval are truly headquarters for bikes! 22528 DIAMONDS TO: the “‘Does”” who put their small, dainty foot out and really kicked off the “Polio Em- ergency Drive for Funds’ last Saturday evening at the Elks’ Club. ’Twas wonderful fun and a great success, and many of the ladies worked very hard so that two pur- poses could be served; Money raised for a worthy cause—and so that, Our Town could have lots of fun dancing. Amongst the ladies heading var- ious committees were Jeannette Fields, Betty McCarrick, Marian Foe, Henrietta Kreager, Millie Riggs and Esther McAllister. z= ee & When you‘re in the mood for @ super seafood dinner—with scenic surroundings to match— the place then to BE — is, of course—the A and B! At 700 Front Street, there is a Lobster House which overlooks the waterfront and the Gulf and because the fish, lobster, turtle —all our “native seafood chow” is cooked so superbly—it’s a toss-up as to which you'll enjoy the most—the food or the view! z= = DIAMONDS : the waitresses at the Elks Club, whose names 1 could not get, but who were gen- erous enough to donate their salary earned at Saturday’s Dance — to} the Polio Emergency Drive!

The tables with shoes selling for $1.50, $2.00 and $4.00 are still there but today would like to tell you of the new stecl: which is being received! Fail shoes are arriving at the Globe and saw some stunning black suede loafers—and wedgies with a cushion sole and moccas- sins too!

In the early days of ’42, Admiral Wassell was Senor Surgeon on the Base Fleet and at this time the | U.S.S. Marblehead and Houston Brown, Joanna} had been hit very badly, and am sure many of you know of the ex- treme heroism displayed by the Admiral in caring for the survi- vors. His courageous act of stay- ing and caring for the ten who could not be evacuated and finally getting them off (via a Dutch ship) of ‘“Tjilatjap” a city on the Island of Java was outstanding. After presidential mention of Ad- miral Wassell’s heroism, a movie of the occurrence was made. with Gary Cooper in the lead. Undoubt- edly many of you saw it, but My Red Shawl told me something I had not heard before—that 4% of the gross from the movie goes dir- ectly to Navy Relief. And so, may yours truly wish this outstanding hero, who is now retired and living in Our Town— a belated — Congratulations and many Happy Returns. 2 =e “Wherever you may roam— don’t forget to go first to Si- mone’’—and wiser words to tra- vellers were never said.

Mr. Archer is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul L, Archer of 502 Margaret Street. Reverend Richard Coulter per-. formed the double ring ceremony at 6:30 in the evening before the altar, banked with autumn flowers in bronzes, reds and greens. Tall lighted tapers added to the beauty of the occasion. The pews were marked with ribbons and flowers. A program of pre-nuptial music was presented by Mrs. John Ar- cher at the organ playing “I Love You Truly” and “Because.” Miss Mary Ann Matchett, vocalist sang “At Dawning.” Mrs. Archer entered the church on the arm of her father who gave her in marriage. She designed her own gown of white lace over or- gandy and taffeta. The off-the-shoulder imported French lace over-dress was fitted in princess style with scalloped lace over-dress was fit in prin- neck, sleeves and hemline. The lace was. worn over a strapless dress of taffeta under a pleated organdy skirt. A scalloped lace fingertip veil caught from a pearl trimmed cap and matching elbow length mitts that ended in points over the hands completed her costume. She carried a white Bible cov- ered with stephanotis surrounding a white orchid.

However, shall dis- cuss that another time—it’s just that I feel that many people really like to dance. But to return to the Elks’ Club —the waltz contest was really dif- ficult to judge, and finally Hilton and Agnes Henson took the honors —with Iggie and Polly Carbonell a close second. Everyone laughed when Pearl Reid’s sister who is visiting her won two prizes in a row and then Jack Delaney added to the fun when he donated his prize to— Blondie Roberts! Frank Wayne won the door prize which he gave to the Polio Drive to be auctioned off.
