You have all been splendid . friends and belive me, yours truly is most deeply and sincerely garte- ful for your kindness in allowing me to visit with you—write of you and take you shopping. Consequently, today—after our | usual manner of chatting between shop visits, would like to speak of —Our Town as memories and thoughts occur to yours truly.

SS see Before arriving in Our Town, was impressed by either rather ~ violent ehampioning or condemna- tion of the place by those who had been here before. Though the former group werd. definitely in the majority, my curtousity was still revved up, over a town that apparently produced no middle reaction, They were either ‘for’’ or “against” and so it was, that 1 decided to make up my own mind but was already anxious to | see Key West. Because I had never been out of the States, many said “well, now you will — as the atmosphere of the town is Cu- ban” casual” Saases Has your glamour gone gad- ding?

Ss =aer Not knowing just what to expect, was saved the trouble of forming an opinion for the first three days because as far as yours truly was concerned — had never met up with a tropical summer heat. Took turns being bell ent about it and succumbing to it. Remember there was no air conditioning then and that summer set a record high temperature, On the third day, though, som g happened It could have been t the trade winds came up (there had not been a breeze) — it might have been a change in daily routine— getting up earlier than ever be- fore — siestaing in the afternoon — having dinner in the middle of the day — or just, that I found the joy and pleasure of going bare- foot all day Esse Sure don't intend to miss see- ing my friend, Madame Blacka- moor who adorns TRINK E- TERO'S window because this accessory shop is always @ tre- mendous amount of fun.

With the thought that Decem- ber 25 is not too far away, may | suggest that you put TRINKE- TERO at the top of your gift list because here you will see all the delightful, nonsensical items — and inexpensive too—which will make milady so happy. Y’know, jewelled handbag accessories — handkerchiefs—flowered perfume guns—compacts galore and di- vinely daintiy or supremely so- phisticated costume jewelry and of course, could rave on and enumerate—but until you visit TRINKETERO (next door to Her- man’s, 512 Duval Street)—and see this terrific accessory shop, you've missed a lot of shopping fun.

Howsomever, for days I always seemed to land there regardless of where I was going. Honestly it was funny and it was some time before I learned how to avoid it.
