It’s that time of year again — Christmas in September. The Santa Monica Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary will hold its annual Christmas in September fashion show-luncheon on Tuesday, Sept. 5 at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel in Santa Monica. Jewelry, gift items and other specialty boutiques will open at 11 a.m., with the luncheon at noon.

The event benefits programs for children of needy families which include the distribution of new toys during the holidays, said Louise Gabriel, event general chair.

Kittie Leslie is commentator for the fashion show, which will feature new fall fashions for men, women and children from Robinsons May/Macy’s and will be modeled by representatives from community organizations.

Reservations are $55 per person and may be made with Roberta de la Puente, (310) 399-3570 or the Salvation Army office, at (310) 451-1358\. Politics Hollywood style
