Came home yesterday sorta tir- ed, and after dinner, Joan did the dishes. It was delightfully cool and perfect “sleeping” weather, . so yours truly decided to turn in and her ear and then in (about 10:30) was awakened by a mosqui- to—just one—but he practically calls mie by name and with this in- sect I’ve done battle before. Final- “Jy, still groggy from sleep—reach- for the “bug bomb” and after a squirt of it in my own | face—turned it in the opposite dir- ' /@ction and sprayed aimlessly, but well. So—baek to slumber and about 3:00 a.m. or so was jerked out of my sleeping time by without a doubt the most fierce, ferocious and longest dog battle I’ve ever heard. Of course, Mac had to ex- press either his verbal. sympathy _ with the goings on, or his desire join the fray—and finally stuck head under the sheet and quiet- him down — but the noise — primi- tive, vicious, and snarling continu- the night. was pure white the full moon, which seemed enhance the savagery of the to such rack- aps what Daniel heard in the lions’ jm fury of the combat diminished until only the piercing howl of one dog that had evidently been hurt was you understand why yours truly shall proceed at a snail’s pace the shops—but we'll cover them ‘Till clue you— zegeze Every one is happy when they hear ef a wedding and the Caro- line’ Shop, 223 Ann Street have ant ex¢ellent selection of gifts for this occasion with the majority of the articles bearing an “import” label. Although many of the items will be most useful to the bride —beauty and unusual design and lovely colors have not been over- Igoked in the yases, trays, salad howls, ovenware, demi-tasses and ashtrays. As someone so aptly said, “I got extremely excited when | see the Caroline 's ribkon on a gift beceuse | it will be something especially lovely sent by someone nice’. So, if you ‘want to make sure yours is a dis- tinctive gift and that you'll be remembered for discriminating taste—cheese your present at the Caroline Shop—or if you wish, phone 2-593 and they'll sent it. sSmes : DIAMONDS TO: All the mem-, bers of the local chapter of the BPW who not only work ‘hard and are successful at their jobs, but in addition thereto—do many good arid worthwhile things for the benefit of Our Town. This is their week and when you/|#f pause and reflect on how grand this organization is and you might recall that it is their 35th anniver- gary, and give a Happy Birthday to tlhe BPW. Phe élogan is “A Better Business Woman for a Better World.” In reminiscing down through the years, the thought that not too long a time has elapsed since woman’s part in the ss world has not only be- come portant—but i ‘Those days of World War I when a “yeomanette” (lady government worker) was considered to be a daring and unusual person are |} past. And although the gals still pat their noses with powder puffs, | | the fact that they possess talent, ability, brains and efficiency as well as — charm — have assisted many businesses. And so—once again — HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BPW! Se mees Many women contend that men are difficult to buy presents for —and yours truly would never be the one to argue this point, so it is with pleasure that | can tell you about Home Appliance, 605 Simenton Street whe carry a complete stock of “DO-IT-YOUR- SELF” tools. The man in your tis wi'l really enjoy the polish: ers, electric drills of all sizes, the sanders, the band saws—or eck and Decker, Skill tools. So, gals, @ Appliance will be glad to make suggestions and discuss these tools with you and | . they can be purchased on the *“Lay-fway” plan for Christmas. dust go there aid tell them that you think the man in your life would, like “a thing-a-jig’ oF @doo-dad” to make furniture, or @holves or boat with—and by |the selection thereof was evident. lingo, they‘ll_ knew what you‘re talking about! You can imagine his pleasure Christmas morn, with anyone of these fine, precision made tools —especially the “Delta Home Shop’ which includes the com- bination of jointer, band saw and sander. (Also, think of all the use- ful things he can-make for the house, and have fun too with his new “hobby”’). Home Appliance is your headquarters for fi tools, and also that ‘Vals paint and varnish which will be the perfect finish for the beauti- ful things he'll construct — with the tools you give him for Christ- mas! My Red Shawi tells me that Kay Holland is the brand new owner ofa greyhound (dog, not bus). Her name is ‘Key Rebel’. In addition to her pedigree—her history goes thusly: —‘‘out of the Newton apart- meht into the Holland household”. Understand she is a good running} dog and probably will go after tin rabbits. oe Because the panoramic scene of the waterfront—with dazzling sunsets—is so beautiful from the dining reom of the A and B Lob- ster House, 700 Front Street, you really don’t want to miss it. However, if the day has been busy—here’s a super suggestion for dinner. Drop by the A and B Lobster House and get one or ten (if you have unexpected 's) Of their extraordinarily delicious seafood dinners to take home— |Les Rice, John Atkins, David Hor- rigan, Robert Gifford, Don Star-! buck, Raymond Viviano, Francis | Wakefield, Bill Pierce, Porter | Fisher Kyle Wheelus, Louis Wood, | |Smith Tharp and Francis Dootey| | who recently gave a most delight- | ful party at Echoasis. These lads really did themselves proud in the food which was serv- ed, and a fine masculine taste in Of course, everytime the lads were complimented on the delic- ous wafer thin cheese cookies, or the shrimp suace, or the pickled frankfurters which they passed— the bouquets for the cooking were given to the friends whose wives helped prepare all the marvelous food. Even skipping in and out from Club to Patio to avoid the unpre- dictable raindrops did not dampen the guésts’ enjoyment of the even- ing. With thoughts of the music and dancing and fun may yours truly again say “Thanks” to all the grand hosts! a i; SPECIAL OFFER AT ADOR- ABLE, 924 Simonton Street.

SS See A news article (INS) from Mel- Tose, Mass. says that the original “Bloomer Girl” of America was Laura Lee, a famed artist, who at 88 suffered a fatal fall down her back porch stairs.

The Ditty Box, 832 Duval Street is the shop in Our Town which is | devoted to straw. New and hand- some articles are now being re- ceived. For instance, saw some stunning large and small enve- lope purses which have just ar- rived. These handbags are most reasonably priced (golly — and how!) and they are made of dif- ferent shades of straw from the natural color to various blends. | They fully lined and for an inexpensive, attractive straw bag —you can‘t beat this buy! More of the unusual shallow shell shaped baskets in two sizes are now at the Ditty Box as well | as those useful straw place mats. Remember, a gift in straw will really make a hit with your friends and Christmas is particu- larly an excellent time to give | these typically tropical items. In 1892-at the Chicago's World Fair, she evidently startled the populace with her “bloomer” crea- tion which was credited with start-| ing the “bicycle riding outfit” of | the times.
