FORE AND AFT
By Malcolm Lomborne, Jr.

Blue water shippers who race
the Southern circuit will try
their hand starting today in a
unique ocean race that takes the
feet across the tricky Gulf
Stream twice. It's the Great
Isaac Race, a marine steeple-
chase from Fort Lauderdale, Fla,
to Great Isaac Light in the Ba-
hamas and return to a finish of
Miami.
The 153-mile race takes the
place Of the Fort Lauderdale- Cat
Cay race which additionally
opens the Southern season. II
it proves a success, the event is
certain to become a permanent
part of the circuit. Although
sponsored by the Southern
Ocean Racing Conference, it will
not count this year in high
points for the winter season.
For Carleton Mitchell and his
lovely yawl Caribbee, from An
napolis, it will be a good shake
down for a heavy schedule this
winter. Mitchell has won the
Governors Trophy for top skip
per the past two years, and there
will be some other good shippers
aiming to see that he doesn't do
it again.
For navigators Of all yachts
entered, the race should provide
a real contest of navigation
When you have to take on the
old Gulf Stream twice in one
week end. you are asking for
headaches. Oldtimers say the
stream never flows the same any
two days in the year.
Caribbee, the only entry from
the Chesapeake at this point. will
have in her afterguard Bunny
Rigg. new editor Of the Skipper
magazine published at Annapolis.
Meanwhile, Herbert Bryant, the
Alexandria, Va, sportsman who
did so well last winter in South
ern waters, is still on the lookout
for a boat to take the place of
his former sloop Courageous.
Unless he finds something soon,
he'll be missing the fun in the
South.

The City Clerk states that de- clarations by candidates for the city election must be in by March 30, which is only six days away.

Colorful New Look Revealed
AT Herman's Redecorated Shop

An elegant new look was reveal
ed to passers-by on Duval Street
this morning when the heavy white
silk curtains in Herman's windows
were opened to show the complete
ly redecorated shop.
ALI done up in pale blush pink
Sparked with emerald green and
royal purple, the shop now offers
the ultimate in shopping pleasure.
Low free form platforms, carpet
ed in white, extend from the win
dow well into the store proper. The
Inanikins are reflected in mirrored
walls giving an all-round view Of
the dresses.
Lingerie and sport clothes are
displayed in the front part Of the
shop. Accessories, hats and dress
es are on the upper level, reach
ed by a short flight of stairs with
black iron ratings.
Display tables with black
wrought iron legs have had their
tops painted in the same soft pink
as the walls. The dress cases have
purple scalloped valances and
bright green curtains.
The fitting rooms have been NOV

ed from their former location to
the back of the store and are CON-
plete with full length mirror, a
pink-painted peel chair and big
ashtray stand.
If milady wishes to see how she
will look when she enters q room,
she steps out Of the fitting room
and walks towards an enormous
mirror conveniently placed for just
that purpose.
Coupled with the air of elegance
and spaciousness, much thought
has been given to convenience in
shopping.
In all departments, the remod-
led Herman's is comparable to a
"big city" dress salon - in atmos-
phere, convenience and comfort.
The redecoration of the shop was
accomplished under the personal
direction of the owners who "final-
ly got everyone together" and
have come up with the realization
of a longtime dream to provide
Key WeSters with a place to shop
with ease and comfort in pleasant
surroundings.
