Does Second Annual Fashion Show the finest that has been presented in Key West for many seasons. Charming Wilhelmina Harvey, in blue net and wearing a cor- sage of pink catnations, acted as commentator for the show, and her ‘ amusing ‘comments cleverly highlighted each number. Fall sportswear shown included e@ white wool jersey ensemble with a red Jantzen sweater—(the Dior Look) modeled by Betty Roberis, | Carol Lane wearing a white Jant- zen swim suit under a Jr. Box Jacket, red of course, ; Lona Allen, The Ferry Fiesta Queen was ready for a game of golf in a‘play suit of avocado grpen that can also be worn as @ biguse, Lona also sported those tetrific new knee socks.

Polly . Carbonell, striking in a Claire McCardle rib- bed knit jersey, trimmed in cam- elhair at neck and waist to break the solid black of this sheath sport ensemble, strictly a '54 ver- sion of the 1925 era. Mar Ed Shop next showed the latest fasions to wear for the Christmas party times, as modeled by more of Key West’s loveliest ladies. ViAnn Youmans, our own Anna Magnani (standin, that is) and pretty as any movie-star, wore a Do-rama creation featured in the December issue of Mademoiselle, orlon and nylon that is completely washable in your automatic wash- er. TV time was featured by Rol- lene Pollock and Doll-Ann Gil- breath — Rollene in an Isle of Ca- pri creation, the legs tight and tap- red, a frosted orange blouse in a Bell Peppers Print, and Doll-Ann wearing toreador pants of frosted orange, a pure silk Serara print blouse trimmed with rhinestones. No wonder TV watching is so po- pular! Petitie Mandy Sikes, who repre- sented the American Legion Auxi- liary, modeled a princess line par- ty dress trimmed with rhinestones and pearls, bolero jacket and three- quarter length sleeves. Among the more unusual gowns was the typically Florida Renee Marcel Original worn by Ann Bucks, a coral faille princess style with full bouffant skirt, the top covered with seashells. For any oc- casion after 5, cocktail party or tea, the Dior Blue frock worn by Dorothy Holmes, was perfect — dressy in back, dropped waist, scooped back line and uneven skirt. Mrs, Blanche McCoy chose a wis- teria print designed by Renee Mar- cel, almost a 1925 style except for. the full skirt dropping lower on one ‘side, a huge bow on her hip, square’ fitted top, a popular Am- erican version of Dior’s newest. The Junior sophisticates were re- presented by Lona Allen in a wool erepe with fringe trim and a wide lapin collar that can be worn as @ separate, Carol Lane in a white wool jumper, princess line with boat neck, that can be worn with or without the blouse. Mrs. Harold Campbell was truly one of the leading ladies in her black wool crepe (imported from France) sheath style, empress bust- line with Josephine body, elegant with black lynx fur. Her only con- trast was the white gloves, Huge Christmas wrapped boxes caused considerable conjecture @roughout the show until pretty Betty Roberts burst from one wear- ing a Gay 90’s pajamas of cotton flannelette, three-quarter length pants, loose jacket top for warmth in our frost-proof city. Almost ready for bed was Polly Carbonell in her Kickernick nylon fuschia gown over light pink and black nylon peignoir with butterfly sleev- es. Mrs. Ida Fredette in a Cecil Chapman original ensemble was all ready for the New. Year’s Holidays, as was Pauline Nihoul in a black nylon net skirt embroi- dered with gold and black, an Alex Coleman top of black velvet, square necked, the colexserving as:sleev- es. ¢ Lillian. Weaver’s gown was a shortened version of the southern belle, tunic lace topping nylon tul- le, outlined with sequins.. Again the junior sophisticate, the ever-popular champagne color in a ballerina length with green tulle accentuating the back, worn by coquettish little Rose: Yates. Vada Sluski in .another Renee Marcel original, this time a gar- net shade with accentuated drop- ped waistline, sheath body, its rich- ness emphasized with a silver fox fur. . Sylvia Knight’s choice of a Ceil Chapman creation was outstanding different — white profusely cover- ed with crystal drops. Her black pan-valvet opera coat lined with white satin was a Mar-Ed crea- Other stunning holiday fashions that caused oohs and aahs from the feminine members of the au- dience were the coordinated en- semble in new Vivid Lipstick Red, French lace over a taffeta skirt, the Alex Coleman felt skirt cover- ed with white silk embrodery worn with a black jersey evening blouse, its back cut extremely low, the black dotted nylon net, long torso, accented with the lipstick red belt or sash fringed in back, the rose pink combined with azeala two- piecer, the gun metal silk long tor- so with buoyant harem skirt and three underskirts, and the White Christmas de Michel original of Alencon lace appliqued with se- quins, rhinestones throughout the skirt and top, worn with a boucle beaded Shrugie. Piece de la resistance was the closing number, worn by Vi Ann Youmans. This sumptuously ele- gant gown of peau-de-soie satin cov- ered with nylon ice pink was re- miniscent of frothy ice, snowflakes, the sound of sleighbells and the coming New Year’s Eve gala balls. Jewelry from Mar-Eds, ‘shoes from PIX shoes, hair stylings by Adorable Beauty Salon all made this showing of fashions from the Mar-Ed Shop an outstanding open- ing of the holiday season. Many of the guests were most fortunate, also, in winning one of the lovely doorprizes. Mrs. Dewey Riggs was sure opportunity does knock twice, as she was the win- ner not only of a hair-do by J.
