a twinge one day on 46th street in
New York City when / saw ahead
of me, gliding majestically along,
about ESQ pounds of gal clad in an
exact copy Of my favorite Easter
Dress!
Four or five years ago, I felt as
out of place as a Reverend at a
poker game when / was up North
with my Key West clothes. How,
ever southern STYLES are new in
much favor with the folks, and gals
who used to go shopping for dog
food in Ridgewood complete with
white gloves are now barring theiI
bosoms and backs to the pale
chilly sunshine much earlier thar
even l would dare. Miami fashions
are quite rampant on East Ridge
wood Avenue clear over to Mays
fifth floor, and I'm most happy to
report that we can save many
dollars buying them here.

OF course ! couldn't 90 shop
hopping without going over on
Fleming Street to visit that nice
Betty Ann Stafioners, and II gave
me many fine ideas for Fathers
Day shopping. That's next Sum
day you know.
A brand new line at Betty Ann
is the DvFsnd leafhereffe pro-
ducts. They are well displayed
and in variety in fhe window,
and ! defy anyone TO tell them
from the embossed leather.
Among the things there Is . blot
ter SET, waste paper basket, photo
album, address book, scratch
pad. portfolio. diary, autograph
book and other things. All these
are In . variety Of color and de.
sign.
OF course you will want
clever or even maybe . sniooehie
card for Dad TOO. So when you
buy your sift. don't forget 10 look
for . card. You might be inter-
ested in the psrsonaIixed printed
stationery too, or maybe . fine
Parker pen and pencil set.
Never say thst Jaxon, and
Betty Ann, haven't given you
some very fine ideas for . Gift
to honor Dad.

Around here where the barn
theatre and a few organizations
furnish the only live shows, we all
wander around somewhat to diff.
ferent clubs looking for such en-.
tertainment. don't know about
you, but when I find an act real
ly like, | can never see It too
much. That is why I was SO happy
to see Angelina and Francisco in
New York at one Of the better
night clubs, and they seemed even
happier to see me. l guess they
like Key West pretty good, and
their dancing is even better than
l remembered.
However, a gal really liked
here in Key West was Raveena
who could be most anyone she
wanted. Imagine my surprise. and
a bit of my disappointment when
on arriving at the Citizen found
a nice letter from Raveena, who
is working in a club not too far
from my parents home She says
in part, Funny thing. but we SIT
around knitting and I get actually
homesick for Key West. It's 3
crazy town. you either dislike il or
love II and you can see which way
am. Tie fishing is miserable Up
here. they think 1t is a big deal to
Snag a catfish.
