been hugging to herself-'cause it
was high up in the category OF
''nice surprises" A real, honest
to-gosh CONCH RED SHAWL was
given to me. The circumstances
surrounding the giving and the
friendship for the giyer plus the
historical significane of the gift
make it all the more precious to
YOURS truly.
And now to answer the question
50 many of you all have asked
"What in the name Of thunderation
is-'My Red Shawl" Years ago,
Key West was an extremely I'M
portant seaport for merchant ships.
When the captains and men would
return from their voyages-they
would bring their wives-Red
Shawls. The ladies would wear
these shawls when they went call
ing on friends, or just talked over
the back fences-hence the phrase
"Shawling."
However, yours truly spends her
time shopping and My Red Shawl
Is worn throughout the day by
many people in Our Town and
when it returns-it "shawls'' with
me and thus I learn-newS and
notes of interest.

From the prices at the Ware
house Furniture Outlet, 9l7 Sim
onton Street, would say that fney
are practically throwing out
good, used furniture!
WelI-fhey sure are pitching
prices downtown and then way
down. You'll have q hard time
believing that there is such an
astonishing collection of house,
hold furnishings at the Warehouse
unless you actually go down
to e17 Simonfon and see IL.
For all you motel owners who are
planning TO replenish those items
which are "shof" this is an
ideal place TO pick up replace
ments--ehairs, tables, mattresses,
etc.
Whether you want to furnish
an entire house or just add an
odd piece Of furniture-by all i.
means, WAREHOUSE FURNl-
TURE OUTLET is the store TO
find what ycv want at a price
you'll almost be ashamed to
pay because It will be that
LOW!
