The Key West citizen., 1952-10-01

cOulQ supply most OF our ASSuS III
he items we were so anxious to
Dring back - duty free of course.
These were linens, we got a beau
tiful banquet cloth of damask,
leather wonderful doeskin
gloves, perfumes, and the famous
Rolls razer. ALI other things like
rattan, grass and straw articles
and the famous Jamaica dolls
we're bought from street venders
who priced their articles and Ia
Dor so low as to make even the
very skimpieSt way of life almost
impossible.

Now I always thought that
Beacon Hill was the smoother sec.
fion Of one Of our larger and
better known cities, but since
my last visit to Mar.Ed's Bes.
con Hill has taken on entirely
new meaning.
II you've been past fhe win
dews on Fleming Street and
you shouldn't ever miss them,
you couldn't help but see ths
wonderful black velveteen things
there. The full panne velvet
skirt shown on the seated fig.
Ure with the black hoUels even.
ing skirt is real nice, but that
slim skirt on The other figure,
denim stitched is the real eye
catcher. u also has . sleeveless
blouse to match. If you don't
know what mean by denim
stitched, LET me fell you, these
velvefeen styles are tailored and
stitched In white exactly like
your summer denim easUals.
This Is the smarfest fashion TO
come Up these many moons and
exciting as going over Niagara
In q barrel.
Another Beacon Hill honey Is
the new striped corduroy Of
rust and black -- . Jumper that
has Q turtle necked, dolma1
sleeVed jersey blouse In black
TO 90 with II that makes the
flying saucer obsolete as
model r.
Another striped dUroy
eharmer Is grey and black, q two
piece outfit with a big white
buster brown collar on . know.
ing little beltcd three-qUarfer
sieeved jacket.
u may be warm yet, but don't
be fooled eOol weather 10

The dresses saw in the shops
in Jamaica were charming, but
they make them in two styles -
a strapleSs simple little dress
with a jacket, and a button dowr
the front shirtwaist. Also made
only of two materials, pure Irish
Linen of many weights ant
weaves or a coarse Indian Head
The dresses differ only in colol
and the wonderful embroideries
that are on them. White of course
predomlnates with beautiful viviC
colors embroidered on it. Clear
blues and reds are next with tht
yellows and green's in less favor
However. mems shirts there
would make our own Harry Tru
man turn green with envy.
Another thing I would like tc
mention is the shoes. While made
of the best and most luStrious o.
English. feathers. the English
craftsmen stlll haven't caught tht
graceful silhouette of the foot
and the shoes are a little bulky
and ungFaceful. Shod In sandal.
and slippers from some Of oul
own Key West Shops, | founS
everyone's attention on the streets
constantly focused on my feet. A
first I felt quite self conscious
about it, but soon Erew quits
proud that Key West feet veal
was creating such = hlrore in I
foreign land.
