Thursday and Friday, Feb. 27 and 28, are the dates for Ruth Comes' 12th annual appearance at the con- noisseurs shop, He Crocodile, owned and operated by Phil and Eddie Johnson. Comes is noted for her classic appliqued skirts which have been shown at this chic shop on the corner of Periwinkle Way and Palm Ridge Road since its open- ing in 1979. Comes collectors and wearers now num- ber in the hundreds. Comes' inspiration for her wearable art include egrets, spoonbills, sandpipers, pelicans, dolphins and i the Sanibel Lighthouse. The intricate designs for Comes' art-to-wear are hand-cut and then embroidered by the artist. New designs for this season are "Integration" with gulls and royal terns, "Wading Ibis," "Nauset Light- \ house" (a reminder of a recent vacation) and a shell de- sign created in honor of the Sanibel Community Asso- ciation's Shell Fair (by the same name "Shell Fair").

Flowers was the entertaining and informative speaker at the weekly Sanibel-Captiva Audubon Society lecture at the Sanibel Community Center. His slides pictured polar bears from virtually every angle. He said the Indians of the area believe that polar bears have souls and they pay homage to the bears even if they kill them. Native peoples with a tradition of killing the bears are the only ones legally able to do so under a five nation treaty, Flowers said. Some biologists believe the polar bear evolved from the brown bear, according to Flowers, partly as a result of the fact that the two species can successfully breed. People in the isolated town of Churchill must stay in at night because the bears roam through the town, Flowers said. Tundra buggies built by the mayor of the town are used to go out to see the bears. The driver always has a shotgun by his or her side just in case, Flowers said.
