The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1940-02-22

Junior WOmen'S Clubs OF Key
West, was held last evening at
the Casa Marina. One of the
largest crowds of the season was
on hand to witness the event
which went off perfectly.
AS in previous years, the show
was for the benefit of the Key
West Library, a very praise
= worthy and necessary institution
founded and maintained by the
Women's Clubs.
A more beautiful setting than
that of last night could hardly
be imagined. A brilliant moon
lit up the scene setting the stage
for one of the Island City's most
colorful events. 1t was a per-
feet setting for a fashion show
with the broad steps leading
down from the loggia of the Casa
Marina through the tropical gar
dens to the sea. The palm trees,
lining the path, were decorated
with various colored lights with
the spectators seated on each
side. 1t made a very beautiful
picture as each model came into
view on the top step framed by
the bougainvillaea covered arch
way of the lOggia.
Each model proceeded down
the steps and halfway along the
path; at that time the next model
appeared. A great deal of credit
is due the girls for the very eff
fective way in which they
modelled the beachwear and
gowns.
& Several hundred attended the
show and all seemed to have a
wonderful time. Earl Johnson
did a very capable job of an
nouncing each model, describing
the costume and naming the store
from which it originated.
Chairman of the affair this
year was Mrs. Norberg Thomp-
son. She was assisted by Mes
danes J. D. MacMullen, Paul
Vecker and William R. Warren.
