Yacht Club Is Scene Of Lovely Pre-Holiday Party Everyone at Lil and George Stone’s cocktail party at the Yacht Club Tuesday night was exclaim- ing over the beautifully decorated buffet table and those who had just returned to Key West for the winter were greeting old friends. Paramount topics of conversa- tion were ‘When are your children coming home for Christmas?” and “What are your plans for the holi- days?” Mrs. Stone greeted guests at the door wearing a smart black cock- tail dress and a beautiful stole of gauzy black silk with an intricate woven design of gold. It was brought to Mrs. Stone from India by a Naval Officer sta- tioned here during the war. Tall silver candelabra, white can- dls, Brazillian pepper and white hibiscus blossoms were used to de- corate the buffet table, literally groaning with a lavish assortment of delicious foods, including cold turkey, ham and shrimp. The guests, most of them long- time friends of the Stone’s were still talking about the clever invi- tations and carefully avoided men- ed!

Let The Children Have Fun With Candy Christmas Decorations It’s always fun for the little folks to help decorate for Christmas — but their “help” can be a little wearing on adult nerves. Why not let them make some things of their very own — remem- ber — no school next week! A fat Santa fashioned from a pa-| per ice cream cup, a lolly pop, red and white crepe paper, black | construction paper, and cotton isn’t too diffictit: for the grammar schgol set to make. ; Turn the cup upside down and gover with red crepe paper. Gather a strip of white crepe paper into ; circle to fit the bottom of the cup and paste it on. Cover the lolly pop with crepe paper to form the face and cut snips of paper for the features. Make his hair and beard from cot- ton — paste on and make a red crepe paper hat with a cotton tas-| sel. a black belt and buckle. Even nursery schoolers can wrap small red and white pepper- mint candies in clear cellophane | to be fastened on an evergreen wreath instead of Christmas orna- | ments. Older children will enjoy trim- | ming gift boxes with clusters of cellophane wrapped bon bons in a tright ribbon bow to make the| package really something special. | Older children and teen - agers} . will enjoy decorating the house with candy canes on the shade pulls or hung on a string across each window. Why not let them make a free swinging mobile trimmed with can- dy to hang in doorwa and halls, or put candy in lo ips of alu- minum fo ch one in place with just a twist of the foil, | then hand or drape around window | frames and mirrors in a garland effect. Candies can also be used to de- corate any table For example, a! clear erystal glass bowl filled with | sour balls mixed with red and| white and green bonbons with sev- | eral long sticks of wintergreen jut- | ting out makes a radiant center-| piece decoration. An old time hurricane lampshade | filled with peppermint and winter- green sticks set in the center of a gaily decorated wreath is another eye catcher that the youngster can make. ee | Keep some buffet size cans of onions on hand; add them to green | beans, peas or carrots when you want to give cooked vegetables flavor variety, Opr2 cil Christmas ET a girl a size baby car- riage that fits her needs now.
