SOCIETY — PERSONALS — NEWS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN ITEMS OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE SUE JONES, Editor Page 2 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN And last night there was an un- | usual moon—’twasn’t full but was sorta @n overgrown three quarter one, However, you could still see the face of the “man in the moon” | even though it was lopsided. First saw this strange moon dead ‘ahead on the boulevard—and then it seemed to skip about and be- cause it was so low in the sky—as the road turned it did play a bit Of hop scotch. To the left and then suddenly completely to the right— and yours truly could not possibly reason the why of all this ‘cause ean only speak of shops where there always good buys! ‘What aie anys liking Pretty clothes—now comes the fime of the year when both Moth- er and Daughter can say—“but new outfits are needed te go— or School er Beck to Col- Mer-Ed Dress Shoppe, 421-8 | ~Buval has been receiving some adorable blouses, skirts and dresses which will be perfect for “back to school”, F’r instance, lovely dark shede sunback dresses with tailored, sleeved jackets. Also, plaids (really beautiful material) with little white col- lere—and too, there are just a whole let of new dresses — in Sizes 7, 9 and 11—ideal for the teen-age girls in your family. Don’t forget—there are still some of those beautiful dresses on sale fer HALF-PRICE and also, the PRICE OF THREE DOLLARS has been placed on some frocks — eat the Mar-Ed Dress Shop! It tnight be" lant yeas would pass | by—without the house a, second look, but if you paused to glance again, you would immediately not- ice something different. This house is made of brick—regular red, Toutinely shaped bricks instead of frame or concrete block. Then it would dawn on you that here was something worthy of attention — even though ‘twas only a small two story house, However, well, let's cress the poreh—past the fashioned “conch” swing su’ ed from the roof with chains—and into— £22 What? You need an extra chair? You're having unexpected company and want an extra sleeping couch? But you think. yeu can’t afford these additions te your home? Have news for youl By going té Warehouse Furniture Outlet, 917 Simonton Street you find such terrific buys in furniture that you won't even hesitate to purchase these things which you need and thought you couldn’t afford. Warehouse Furniture Outlet handles used furniture—but it is in goed condition and way be- low the price of new. Also, this stere on Simonton Street has many miscellaneous items for the home in addition to furniture. Really worth your time te stop in —the Warehouse Furniture Out- let! —The interior which settles about | the “Gay ’90” or turn of the cen- tury time, has all the grace, charm, fragile and eternal beauty of the fashion in furnishings that day. Although the sheer loveliness in- terrupts momentarily all and motion—the high ceilings, the color scheme, the spaciousness in- duced by employment of relatively few pieces of furniture—the air of restraint and excellent taste lead you to look and enjoy. So with a happy pleasure, would like to des- cribe the sophistication, but gen- tle reminiscence of—another period —recalled tedey by seeing— = While es new me at the Sun and Sand Beach Club are of that wonderful fiber glass—the meals and fine service are still completely unchanged and are as Perfect as ever. Remember this lovely, spaci- ous dining room is always open to the public — for breakfast, lunch and . So, whether you are new to Our Town—or make your home here —don’t pass up one of the finest dining spots—with that’ always beautiful view of white sand — reaching down to the edge of the broad, bive Atlantic which seems to disappear into the great dis- tance beyond. Also, don’t forget the fine hes- Pi ity of George and Elsie Keyes — who are grand people and whose only wish is to give you the best in food and service —in a beautiful place—down to the end of Simonton Street and turn LEFT! as = The lights Feflecting from the multiple prisms of the gorgeous ornate 18th century chandeliers first pulled the eyes up, as they are used throughout the rooms. One is of the beautiful French antique bacearat glass and indeed the mood is immediately set for thoughts of a bygone day. In the reception room, as throughout — the walls are of a dusky rose, and a strangely warm gun metal shade. This unusual color Was achieved through the addition of burnt sienna jand vene- tian red to the original shade, which is‘tised on the woodwork and the furniture, the latter being hand- painted by Ciiffond Kerr, ye om ig?

Ss =e A word about the furniture—be- |eause believe you should get the overall effect before mentioning the other touches which make for distinctive individualism and aes- thetic beauty, thus removing the Mid-Victorian stuffiness. A great deal of the furniture was secured in Cuba and Guatemala and though of wicker, is extremely fragile | looking. The various pieces such as love seat, hat stand, rockers, etc. which were used during the late nineteenth century are all here. And yours truly felt that there was a great sturdiness in spite of the slenderness and grace- ful shape of the high backed — rather ornate straight chairs. The seats are covered with chinese ming yellow cotton damask pads. And so, I sat down and looked | about— ‘As no have ‘ae my good friends the Goulets now own the Key West Garden and Lawn Supply Co., 830 Fleming Street and they have sure made some changes. Now you take the fish depart- ment—or is it colony—well, any- way they sure have a flock (?) of fish. GOLD FISH FOR ONLY 35 cents—and this means regard- less of size or color (even that spotted one with the “lipsticked” mouth). Key West Garden and Lawn also have tropical fish (from neons to gouramis) and a full and complete line of aquarium supplies such as tanks, filters, tiny food for babies and larger food for grown-up fish! And some day shall uss “fish fry” and ‘‘pool fish’“—and you’ll be so surprised—but meanwhile — do stop in the Key West Garden and Lawn Supply and ask the Goulets about these terms! zs ion room, beautiful Renoir flower prints hang on the walls and are recessed in special- ly designed frames. The unique note here, is that they lightly pick up the central color of the picture. Under one is a shadow box with a bouquet made of tiny, pastel colored shells and woven into an intricate floral patfern. To the left, on a small table be- neath a truly “golden” Renoir—is a glass dome set on a magohany bowl, with tiny legs and it covers —a delicate bouquet of flowers made of minute shelJs. This will recall to many the old-fashioned meissen baskets. Unusual Gaughin prints in the same handmade frames (master- pieces by Paul Kruger of the Ha- vana Art Galleries) hang on the | walls in the end room. These pic+ | tures represent the Gaughin of the almost pastoral school, which was his early work, before he discover- ed the deep and vibrant colors of the South Seas which he was to employ so successfully later and which were such a departure from | the prevailing ‘art’ at that time. =e22 zz There is ly a “gem” of a Jewelry Shop in Our Town. Al- though they are truly the oldest jewelers, having been in business since 1898—you should see their attractive new shop at 624 Duval Street. There you will find the very latest in wristwatches, diamonds, | and sterling made by nationally | known manufacturers, whe have | through the years achieved the | recognition of making the best. | And so, this is also true of | Jehnson’s, whove reputation for | high reliability plus a fine | tion of jewelry and gift items in | all price rangss—has been known | -in Our Town—since 1898. } =e = z= Going up the stairs, recalled that many of the Kecio family—a fine and gentle people whose name is | so prominent in the settling of Our Town—from its earliest history =| | had used these steps to—the second | | floor. | Here the motif continued, but prints of Gaughin’s later period | {hung on the wall. The first room | I entered was not quite so highl: | styled—it seemed to be a trans tion room—a bridge — and so, was that I learned that here many committees interested in the civic) projects of Our Town met. To the} left, the utilitarian aspect was def- initely present—‘cause there was an electric icebox and behind the} sereen painted by Stanley Wood—j a mina tice pene Stenpeat by y einhorn’s Variety | and Duval | Street and saw Jack dusting things up a storm. Then | realiz- | ed that this lad has been doing a | bang-up job of cleaning and— “dusting” the PRICES on the many, many items which are found on the shelves and just everywhere here. After all, it is a VARIETY STORE! And true to its name—there is | a bit ef everything, magazines, indi , small kit- chenware items, groceries (in- eluding Kesher, Cuban and Chi- nese recipe ingredients), breoms, sun hats, and too, cases of maity beverages at unbelievably low prices—ranging from $3.75 to $5.39! Coe Because I had seen so beautiful- ly an era that was—because the Community Room gave tangible indications of “now’’—this screen was more than interesting as it represented—all by itself—an in- terim period of Our Town—the FERA days. And truly, even the art and colors seemed to reveal an uncertain time—with promise of a bright future. There was another large and comfortable room upstairs—to the front—but it seemed sorta lonely for its occupant, who is so very busy that time spent here is prac~ tically nil. 2 == =z There is a trip you could take this Labor Day which would be inexpensive — not involve too much time getting there and whieh you would really enjoy ever so and so, let's go te — JAMAICAI Although you can get there in only three hours, it takes just a | few minutes to go FIRST to SI- MONE’S TOURS, 510 Southard Street, so that you'll know none | of your precious vacation time | will be wasted in securing reser- | vations! Simone’s really knows | the answers to planning all trips expeditiously and economically! | To get to Jamaica with its for- | eign atmosphere and many spots | of scenic beauty—you could fy Pan-American or KLM (Dutch line—verreee goodt service!) — | for only $128.07 (tax included). | Also, in Jamaica are many fine | hotels which now have—summer rates! So—the. most important step in travelling—GO FIRST TO SIMONE—and thence to—Ja- maica for a quick and inexpen- sive trip into a different country with different customs! You'll have fun! ze = 25 Going down the stairs, noticed that in both halls—there were ceil- ing high bookcases (and in this in- stance the ceiling was really way up there)—filled with intelligent and legal looking tomes. And then, as I again passed under the hand- some chandelier in the reception hall—out the door—looked to my right and there was a most origin- al scarlet red plaque with a small picture of an English barrister— white curled wig and all and under- neath was inscribed— *BUFETE 7 Julius F. Stone; Jr., % ABOGADO : Notario Publico E. Gato.” The across from the Post Office still has that fabulous Grab Bag— which holds higher priced articles selling for — FIFTY CENTS.

Then I stuck my nose in the jasmine (marrilas) and also, | the dama de noche ( a fragrant) creamy flower)—but shades of the Japanese Cherry Blossoms around the Tidal Basin in D. C. were in- stantly remembered, when I saw the fragile, tiny, delicately colored blossoms—on the large and flower- ing cherry tree. cee ee Stone Crab is only one of the rare seafood delicacies which are found in this area. The A.and B Lobster House, 700 Front Street | are experts at preparing this un- | usually fine dish.
