Trucks and cars are passing up
and down Flagler—right in front
of our new little home —and so
is time—and, since yours truly’s
been bumming rides from friends
—have managed to visit the shops
in Our Town—and so today, would
like to tell you all about—many
places and many things —and I
wouldn’t be at all surprised but
what you’ll find many, many
things to buy—

Up on Duval Street at 711—
there is a swell "shirt" shop
—Esther end Bill's —of course,
there are men and youth's and
children's and women's (shorts
and pedal push res) wearing ap
parel sold here too —and also,
must mention the pawn shop in
one comer which is Bill's
"pet protect" —but right as of
now would like to tell you
•f the men's sports shirts which
are undoubtedly stunning, and
amaxingly inexpensive for the
quality offered I
Esther and I were just discuss
ing the usual sub {acts, when she
mentioned "Shapely" Black Rain
shirt Now, yours truly did a
double taka —and I wondered
what in the name of—Black Rain
she meant. Then I saw this men's
sport shirt with the added sur
face interest of black and white
seeded chromspun woven into
the texture. It has a permanent
pucker and dries instantly I
The other beautiful sports shirts
didn't like my paying attention
to lust one—so, they started in
troducing themselves. One said
that he had a "Mr. B." collar
—another said that he had a
"Mr. C." collar and finally, the
third allowed as how he had a
collar you could roll any one of
three ways I (ffat, round or
curved).
By this time, the "Bela" ties
which are all the rage for both
men and women started clamor
ing and I left Esther and Bill's
. thinking what really smart, and
handsome and inexpensive mer
chandise they had.

How many times have you
given a gift—cheerfully and glad

The above will always happen

My Red Shawl had told me that
St. Paul’s Episcopal Church was
about to undergo a restoration,
and the other day as I. walked by,
could see that it was in progress.
By sheerest coincidence, hap

were buying a vacuum cleaner
tor the church—at one of my
shops—Home Appliance Cos. Jim
Staples, the other member of the
building committee, wasn’t there,

of the process—and more details,

Frankly, I think that all places

known as National), where there
is still scaffolding and evidence

The traditional wedding music
was played by Diane Molina as the
bride descended the stairway,
beautifully decorated with stepha
notis and fern. She was met at the
foot of the stairway by her father
who escorted her to an arch of
fern and stephanotis, flanked with
potted palms and baskets of pom

Aquilino Lopez, Jr. performed the
single ring ceremony.
The youthful bride was gowned
in a waltz-length wedding dress of
white tulle over satin. The fitted
princess bodice was of the tulle

long sleeves came to points over
her hands. The bouffant skirt was
appliqued with delicate chantilly
lace in an apron effect and dipped
slightly in back.
Her short veil fell from a crown
of stiffened lace and she carried
a white prayer book with a show
er bouquet of stephanotis centered
with a white orchid.
The matron of honor, Mrs. Ruht
Simone, wore blue iridescent silk
organza with sweetheart neckline
and bouffant skirt over a match
ing taffeta. She wore a crown of
flowers and carried an orchid. Sil

the gospel side, so that services
will not be interrupted in spite of
the work going on.
